Registration 11936(6
I can confimi that there was no financial artwlty durlng the period 1910212021 to 3110812021
This is due to fact that during the covid.19 pandemlc we found many banks were not offerlng
services to set up new bank accounts for new charities, so as a resu￿ we did not mana8e to 8et a
new bank account set up untll March 2022
Therefore durin8 the perlod 1910212021 to 31/0812021 we contlnued to operate under the prevlous
non-incorpoTated charlty which is Hopton School House 1053436
