RE: Filing of Annual Return for St Pauls Senior School Parents Group – **1207989**
## **To whom it may concern,**
It is our understanding that for a charity of our size, it is not necessary for us to have submitted an auditor’s report. However, this is our first year of filing an annual return to the Charities Commission so we apologise in advance if our understanding is incorrect.
We have filed the Trustees’ Report and the accounts for the year. We hope this is sufficient.
Yours faithfully,
Neil Dhot
