The members consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act') and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under s145 of the 2011 Act; - •follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners s145(5)(b) of the 201 Act and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** My 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 the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation from you as 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 statement below. ## **Independent Examiner's Statement** In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention; 1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements; - to keep accounting records in accordance with s. 130 of the 2011 Act; or - to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. is not reproduced here as a protection against fraud requested by the Examiner.) ## **J.Southworth FCA 13[th] March 2026**
