INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
V.AKE THEM SMILE
I report on the accounts o! the company Tor the year ended 28 February 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITES OF THE TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation
of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities
Act 2011 {the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it
is my responsibility to.
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section
14515}Ib) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attenb'on.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance wth the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination
includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those
records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disdosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fir view, and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to rny attention-.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that. in any materia5 respect, the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 38e of the Companies Act 2006., and
to prepare accounts which accord wth the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 and vwth the methods and prinaples of the Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting
and Reporting by Charities
have not been met., or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached.
