- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Expansion of Foundation project funding brings associated yet unanticipated organisational risks - assessed as risk value 4 (2x2). Trustees continue to feel that whilst the expansion of our activities into providing funding to organisations through our foundation funding work is welcome to increase our impact and public benefit, it also brings the organisation into new areas of operating, with associated uncertainties.”
- “During 2024 we commenced making active changes to restructure our investment portfolio with our revised investment strategy and ESG policies adopted during 2023, in order to further align our investments with our mission.”
- “During the year we further expanded our neuro diversity offering and introduced new offering via the National Autistic Society, with 11 referrals made, accessing 32 different aspects of the programme.”
