Independent Examiners Report
For the year ended 30 April 2025
I have examined the accounts on pages 5 to 6, which have been prepared on the basis of accruals.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts; we consider that the audit requirement under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without performing an audit, and to report to trustees.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 43 of the Charities Act 1993 and in accordance with the directions given by the charity commissioners under section 43(7)(b). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity trustees and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for the purpose of this report. The procedures undertaken do not constitute an audit.
Independent examiner’s statement
Based on my examination, no matter has come to attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect accounting records for the year ended 30 April 2025 have not been in accordance with section 41 of the Charities Act 1993, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records or comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 1993. No matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understating of the accounts to be reached.
