Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “We are exploring how to add value beyond funding-whether through capacity building, mentorship, or practical support-to help grantees grow stronger, more stable, and better equipped to deliver lasting impact for the young people they serve.”
• “We are examining our own operations and investments to ensure they align with long-term environmental responsibility. We also want to help our grantees embed sustainable practices into their work through shared learning, practical tools, and collaborative action.”
• “We are committed to appointing young trustees to our board, working with youth advisory groups, and exploring participatory grant-making models that give young people greater power in decision making.”
• “As a first step we significantly revised our application process to reduce applicant time after receiving over 100% more applications than the previous year. This has moved to a 2-stage process with a very simple Expression of Interest statement as the first step, allowing us to more effectively invite applications from those which most closely match our strategic aims.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
