INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts for the Trust for theyear ended 31 March 2024, which are set
out onpages 1 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity's trusteesyou are responsible for thepreparation of the accounts;
you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(s)of the Charities Act 1993(the Act)
does not applyfor thisyear and that an independent examination is needed.
It is myresponsibilityto examine the accounts(underscetion 43(3)(a)of the Act), to
follow theproceedures laid down in the General Directionsgiven bythe Charity
Commissioners(under section 43(7)(b)of the Act), and to state whetherparticular
matters have come to myattention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
Myexamination was carried out in accordance with the General Directionsgiven bythe
CharityCommissioners. An examination includes a review of the account records kept
bythe charityand a comparison of the accountspresented with those records. It also
includes consideration of anyunusual items or disclsoures in the accounts and the
seekingof explanations fromyou as trustees concerninganysuch matters. The
procedures undertaken do notprovide all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent Examiners statement
In connection with myexamination,no matter has come to myattention thatgives me
reasonable cause to believe that, in anymaterial respect, the requirements -
1 to keepaccountingrecords in accordance with section 41 of the Act: and
2 toprepare accounts which accord with the accountingrecords and to
complywith the accountingrequirements of the Act.
have not been met; or to which, in myopinion, attention should be drawn in order to
enable aproper understandingof the accounts to be reached.
