The students composed an original piece, sent a copy to Buckingham Palace and received a very encouraging response from The Queen. The original piece was performed at the concert. 24th December 2022 (Christmas Eve), the documentary "Organ Stops - Saving The King Of Instruments" was aired on BBC4.

One of the success stories involves a pipe organ in Ireland that was saved and transported to the East London School of Music. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplay er/episode/m001gmv3/organstops-saving-the-king-ofinstruments Exams: Music Theory and Practical exams taken in February, April, June and November 2022 - 100% Pass Rate.

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the

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** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination 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.
