INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO
SPINKS CHARITY TRUSTEES
Charity number 1170859
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with general Directions
given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the 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 explanations
from the trustees Con￿rning 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 fair, view, and the report is limited to those matters set
out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material
respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 of
the Charities Act,. and
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 order to enable
a proper understandin9 of the accounts to be reached.
I have reviewed the books and records of the above organisation for the
year ended 31 December 2025 and I have made all enquiries required
under the Charities Act 2011 and confirm that the accounts for the year
ended on that date are in accordance therewith.
