onsibilities of trustees and examiners
The trLtstees are responsible for the preparation of the account5. The trustees consider that an

an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to,.

Basis of Inde
endent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance 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 account5 presented with those records. It also included consideratlon of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all evidence that would be reqL5ired
in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts provide a'true and
fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Inde

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me
cause to believe that in, any material respect,.
