th
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2023.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner
The charitvs 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 65{21 of the
Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the Charities Act) or under Regulation 10(I)(dl of The
Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Regulations 2006 {the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland)
2008 and section 44111(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment{Scotlandl
Act 2005 (the 2005 Act)
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Direction5 given by the
Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)Ibl of the
Charities Act
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 next statement.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
11) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act and
section 4411)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2008 and section 44111{b) of the 2005
Act and Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations
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.
