required by Part 6 of the Charities Act 1993, as amended by the Charities Act 2006.
Income during the year did not reach the threshold requiring an independent auditor.
At the time of writin9 the charity does not have a reserves policy.

Duty of prudence - the trustees hove become aware over the post year that income is
