The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) {d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
