**and in due course will also be helping in**
**the trialling of effectiveness and**
**disseminating information to patients,**
**families and users.**
**In line with our objectives we have also**

charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended**31st May 2024**.
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the
accounts in accordance with the requirements of 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** The charity’s gross income amounted to £106,913 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being qualified by experience in accountancy matters with relevant industry experience in both the private and public sectors since 2005. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me 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. **Date:** 18[th] June 2024 **Signed: Name:** James Power **Relevant professional** Finance Professional with 30 years accountancy experience.
