I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 145 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for England and Wales under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act.
My examination included a review of the accounting records provided by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
