I confirm that no material matters have<br>come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me<br>cause to believe that in, any material respect:|



 the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities 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.
