I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31st March 2024** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation **basis of report** 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 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:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

It was not possible to verify the cash in hand opening or closing balances. No checks were made on the cash in hand account, other than the transfers to the NatWest and COOP current account.
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).
The uncleared items recorded in the accounts for the period 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025.
