At the end of the year there was a favorable net movement of funds amounting to (£130) . At the end of the year, 30 November 2021, there was an unrestricted fund balance amounted to £185 .

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)), does not apply. It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 43(3) of the 1993 Act.

Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and

State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioner’s. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts. And seeking examinations from you as trustees concerning any matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and as a result I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In accordance with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting record in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and

  3. to prepare which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act.

  4. Have not been met

  5. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
