INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED J l March 2023
We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2023.
Respertive responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner:
The charit¢s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43121 of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that
an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to examine the accounts lunder section 4313llal of the 1993 Act), to follow the procedures
laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 4317llbl of the Act), and to
state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report:
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by charity and a comparison of the accounts presented
with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts and seeking
explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement:
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention.. which gives us reasonable cause to believe
that, in any material aspect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993
Act,. and to prepare accounts which record with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting records
of the 1193 Act have not been met; or to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
