The Charity paid seven grants to local organisations in the 12 months to 31 March 2025. This is an
improvement on the previous year when only three g>rants were rnade. With the uncertainty over the renewal

INDEPEIYDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTKES OF
THE PERCY DAVIES INSTITUTION
I report on the accounts of the Percy Davies Institution for the year ended 31 March 2025,
which are set out on the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 144(2) of the Charities Act
201 I (the 201 l Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my resw)nsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 201 l Act).
To 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 state whether particular matters have c4)me 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 seekinbi 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 gyiven 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..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 201 J Act.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 201 l Act.
have not been met. or
2. to which in my opinion, attention should k drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
