|**Respective responsibilities of**|The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s||
|**trustees and examiner**|trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities||
||Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.||
||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 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and||
||*       to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.||
|**Basis of independent**|My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity||
|**examiner’s statement**|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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations||
||from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures 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 fair’ view and the report is limited to those||
||matters set out in the statement below.||
|**Independent examiner's**<br>**statement**|In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me||

||*      to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the||
||accounting requirements of the Charities Act||
||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.||
