Independent Ex•mlnerfs Report to the Trurtees of the Assemblles of the Flrst Bom

pages 9. 10. IL 12, 13, 14 and IS in thls Report.

The tharity's trustees are responslble for the preparntion of the accounts. The tharity trustee conslders that an
audit Is not required for this year under sectlon 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
Independent examlnation is needed.

examine the accounts under sectlon 145 of the 2011 Act,.
follow pr¢xedures laid down in the general Direction given by the Charity Commlsslon under section
145 15) Ib) of the 2011 Act: and
to state whether partlcular rnatters have corne to my attentlon.
8asls of the Independent examlnerfi report
My e￿mInati0Th was carrled out In accordance with the general Direction given by the Charity Commission. An
examination indudes a review of the accounting records by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It includes consideration of unusual items or disclosures In the accounts and
seeking explanations. Form you as trustees concernlng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provlde all the evidence that would be requlred In an audit and consequently no opinion Is 8lven as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and falr view, and the report is limited to those matters set out In the statement
below.
Independent examlner's ststement
In conneciion with rny examination, no matter has come to my attention:
whith give me reasonable cause to believe that In any material respect the requlrernents to keep
accounting record5 in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounts which
accord with the accountin8 records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drnwn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts reached.
