Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity for the
vear ended 31ST December 2025
I report on thé financial statements of the Charity on pages 2 to 3 for the year ended 31st
December 2025 which have been prepar￿ in a(tsrdance with the Charitie5 Act 2011 (the
Act).
Respective respmsibilities of trustees and examlner
As describèd on page 2, the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144(21 of the Charities Act 2011 (thè 2011 Art) and that an independent
Èxamination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under the 2011 Act, or
otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to
11 examine the accounts under sertion 145 of the Act
111 to follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the General Directions given by the Charty
Commission under séction 145{5){b) of the Act, and.
111) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of opinion and of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions glven by the Charity
Commissionersfor England & Wales setting outthe duties of an independent examiner
issued by the Charity Commissioners under sertion 145151(bl of the Act) In relation to the
conducting of an independent examination. referred to above. An independent examination
includes a rèview of the aetounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting
systems employed by the CharTty and a comparison of the financial statements presented
with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disc105ures in the
financial statements and seeklng explanations from you as trustees concerning such
matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit. and inforniation Supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not
subjected to audrt tests or enquiries. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on
the view given by the flnanaal statements. and In particular, l express no opinion as to
whether the financial statements ￿'ve a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity. and
my report is limlted to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examlnation 50 as to &itisfy myself that the objectives of the
independent examination are achieved and before finalizing the report l obtain written
assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Independert examlner's statem
I can confimi that in connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention
which 8ives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
il to keep accounting records in accordance with 5ertion 130 of the acL
ii) to prepare financial sLitements vjhich in accordance with the accnuntlng records and
comply wrth the accounting requirements of the 2011 Art have not been met or,
1151 to which, in my oplnion. attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
