In March 2024. ahead of World Malaria
Day, 25th April 2024. a fundraising appeal,
directed at previous clients of the veterinary
clinic, was prepared and launched to raise
funds for the purchase of bed nets to
protect vulnerable individuals from disease
carrying mosquitoes. This appeal was
launched through GoFundMe. Funds raised
will be ring fenced in the charity's bank
account for the specific purpose of
purchasing bed nets. This is likely to be
through a recognised organisation such as
Unicef, by donation of the total funds
raised.

**Section A** 

**Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/** Charity Name **members of** The Culpin Foundation

**Charity no** 1166973 **(if any)** 

**Set out on pages** 

## 1-2 

(remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** 31/12/2024. 31/12/2024. . 

**Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable  Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of ---------------------------applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._ 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have --------------------------------------come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
