comparison of the accounts presented with those record5. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concernlng
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that woijld be

'true and fail view and the report is limited to those matters set out In the statement below.
Independent Examlnees Statement
In connection with my examination. no material matters have come to my attention 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 requirement5 concerning the form and
content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulation$ 2008 other
than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fairf view which is not a matter

which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
