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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. **Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Date:** 11 May 2023 **Signed: Name:** Linda Lord **Relevant professional** BSc BFP FCA TEP **qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:**[Streets Chartered Accountants, Tower House, Lucy Tower Street, ] Lincoln, LN1 1XW 1 **IER** **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . 2 **IER** rHARnYmhwMI st Anne's 8•dohous•s Ch4rlty No.. 221541 R•c•lpts and payments accounts For tho pgrfod Irom CC16a 0110112022 3111W2022 Section A Receipts and payments Unrestrfcted funds thv Rttstslcted fundB Endowment fund tolh•npwutE tothR n••r••i£ th• n••r¥•tt Al R¢¢•l t• L4unOryiXOIP 2Sfj 255 315 110 17 chap￿F￿n0 1or05lrqcdv•J 11$￿I￿v0VI 18 78 67• Sub tolal(GrD&8 tyJctTh forARI 61,006 •n •• lable.
