My examination was carried in aCCordar￿e wth the General Directions given by the Charity

items or disc105ures in the accounts, and sethn9 explanations from you as trustees concerning any
such matters. The Pr￿ed￿re5 undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit, and no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a Yrue and fair view" and the report
is limtsd to those matters set (￿t in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statsment
In connection with my examination, no matter has CO￿ to my attention:
whKh gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respett, the requirements:
to keep accountiTrJ records in accordan￿ wlth Secbon 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

to which, in my QFMnion, attenti￿ should be dra%Yn in ￿der to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
