I report on the charity’s financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes 1 to 8. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for this report.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law. They also consider that the charity is exempt from an audit. My responsibility is to carry out procedures designed to enable me to report on the matters set out in the statement below.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Report
My work was conducted in accordance with the Statements of Standards for Reporting Accountants, and so my procedures consisted of comparing the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity, and making such limited enquiries of the officers of the charity as I considered necessary for the purposes of this report. These procedures provide only the assurance expressed in my statement.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a) to keep accounting records; and
-
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the methods and principles of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practise (October 2019) and Financial Reporting Standard 102
have not been met; and
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in income in full when received.
Donations in kind are valued and included in income to the extent that they represent goods or services that would otherwise be purchased.
A Restricted Fund is a fund that is to be used for a specific use, as laid down by the donor. Expenditure that meets the specific criteria is identified to that fund.

Management and administrative costs relate to all costs incurred in the general administration of the charity, which cannot be directly attributed to the provision of a specific requirement. These include all the costs of statutory compliance.
