As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that in any material respect:
