these children the advantage of being bilingual
will greatly increase their chances of
employment when they later become adults

the preschool years is the most efectve
method of introducton. We also work closely
with the Local Authority to ensure staf atend
training courses that upskill our staf to provide
high quality provision enabling us to put early
interventons in place for individual children.
We assess and plan our actvites so that we
can identfy areas of need and put in place

progress. We provide individual support for
targeted children who are referred to us by 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. The accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis in accordance with section 133 of the act. **Independent** I confirm that I have the requisite skills and experience to conduct the **examiner's statement** Independent Examination for this charity to the standards required as set out in Appendix 5 of CC32. Although retired from practice as an accountant and as a member of a listed professional accountancy body, I continue to conduct a number of examinations on a voluntary basis every year. I also confirm that I am independent of the charity as set out in Direction 2 of CC32. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or - the accounts do not accord with the accounting records I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Date: Signed:** 6/2/26 **Name:** Andy Moore **Address:** Blaenpentre, Swyddffynnon, Ystrad Meurig, SY25 6AW
