I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31st March 2024 .

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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

Give here brief details of It was not possible to verify the cash in hand opening or closing balances. No any items that the checks were made on the cash in hand account, other than the transfers to the examiner wishes to NatWest and COOP current account. disclose .

The Broadband and Telephone costs are high for an office that is used on a limited basis and alternatives should be considered to reduce the monthly costs from ~£65 to less than £30 per month.

The charity took possession of a nearly new minibus in 2020. For the purpose of the accounts, the minibus has been reduced by 10% in value from the previous year. It may be prudent to obtain a valuation next year, to see if the 10% reduction reflects the actual value of the minibus (should it be sold).
