This includes a review of accounting records of the charity and final accounts and explanations of any items where required. In line with requirements I have not carried out an audit of the accounts. No matters have come to my attention which give me any cause for concern with respect to record keeping and preparation of accounts of the Charity. ## **Regards** **Kate Jackson Administration Officer**
