Trust CompanyLimited(Trustee)|11 November 2| ||||| CCXX R2 accounts (SS) 11/11/2025 2 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Green and Lilian F M Ainsworth and Family Benevolent Fund** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 17 January 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 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.
