Dear Sam,
Association Accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
I have independently examined the financial records of The Endeavour School Anchorage Association for the financial year ended 31[st] March 2025. It is my opinion that the accounts have been compiled in accordance with the documentary evidence provided to me, and represent a true and accurate record of the Association’s financial affairs during this period.
I trust this letter will enable you to lodge the necessary annual return with The Charity Commission by the required deadline.
Many congratulations on another successful year. Please accept my best wishes for continued success throughout the forthcoming year in respect of all the excellent work that the association undertakes to support your school.
Kind regards.
Yours sincerely
R.H. Chaston ACIB
