On accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 Set out on pages 2 – 37. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The charities’ trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charities’ trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s 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 to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention. - **(1)** which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; - or **(2)** to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Alan Peach CPFA Larkspur Berry Lane Littlehampton BN17 5HD** **June 2024** 38 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Independent examiner's report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner's Report Report to the trusteesl members of On accounts for the year ended 3110312IA Charity no (if any) 505 102 Set out on pages I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (Ihe Trusn for the year ended Responslbllltles and As the charity Irustees of the Trust. you are responsib￿ for the preparation basis of report of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Acr).
