INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 st October 2025. which
are sel out on pages 5 to 9.
Respective responslbilities of trustees and examlner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144121 of the
Charities Act 2011 Ilhe 2011 Acl)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility lo..
examine the accounts under secton 145 of the 2011 Act.,
lo follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act.,
and
to slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examinerf$ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given
by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such
matters The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as lo whether the accounts
present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters sel out in the
statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES contlnued
In connection with my examination, no matter has come lo my attention..
{11 which gives me reasonable cause lo believe that. in any material respect, the
Iruslees have not mel the requirements to ensure that '.
proper accounting re¢ords are kept in accordance with section 130 of the
2011 Act.,
and
accounts are prepared which accord wlh the a¢¢ounling ￿COrdS and Comply
with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
OR
121 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
unde￿landing of the accounts lo be reached.
