to stale whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnafs statement
My examination was carried oul in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity 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 mallers. The procedure5 undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audil. and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair vieW and Ihe
report is limited lo those mallers sel out in Ihe slalement below.
Independent examlnevs statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come lo my attention which give me cause to believe that in,
any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Acl., or
the accounts did not accord wlh the accounling records., or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements conceming the form and contenl of accounts set out
in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 olher than any requirement that the accounts give a "true

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination lo ￿1¢h attention should be drawn this report
in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts lo be reached.
