I report on the accounts of the charity which are set out on pages following this report.
Respective responsibllitÉes of trustee and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charivs trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the
Charities Art 2011 {the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It Is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under seciion 145 of the Charities Ac(
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
{under section 145{5llb) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept bythe 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 explanation5 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 fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's ststement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention."
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and section 386 of
the Companies Act 2¢J06
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met,. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understandingof
the accounts tt) be reached.
