for the financial year ended 1 February 2026
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

-
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
