Report of the Independent Examlner to the Trustees of
The Bridllngton Charitles
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. which are set out on pages six to eight.
Respective responsiblllties of Trustees and examlner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees ¢onsider that an audit is
not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ('%he 2011 Act") and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section
145(5)(b) of the 201 l Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS of Independent examlner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioner. 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 the seeking of
explanations from you as the Trustees Concerning any such matteT5. 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 vi¢w' and the r¢port is limited to those matters set out in the stst¢ment below.
Independent examlner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter ha9 come to my attention:
(l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect. the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordan¢¢ with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the
2011 Art
have not been met: or
(2) to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper und¢rstandin8 of the accounts to be
reached.
