Churches Together in Bedfordshire Independent Examiner's statement st on the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 I have exainined the accounts of Churches Together in Bedfordshire for the year ended 31., December 2025. In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records 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.
