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 Trust'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

• “One of the year's major milestones was the successful installation of a solar energy system across the site, following the granting of planning permission. This is now fully operational and generating electricity.”
• “We completed two full refurbishments of the bathrooms in Tent Hill House, one of our largest accommodation blocks.”
• “The West Room was redecorated with new wallpaper, repainting, and lighting upgrades.”
• “The Great Hall, our largest and most prominent meeting space, received a full repaint.”
• “The construction of an open sided barn in the corner of the Kitchen Garden has provided a much-used covered space for wet weather activity, learning and gathering.”
• “We also dug a pond during the summer, which quickly became home to dragonflies and other wildlife another encouraging sign of healthy biodiversity on site.”
• “This year saw the transition of our long-serving Chair of Trustees, Roger Mitchell.”
• “This year we have benefited from legacy gifts, left to us in the wills of individuals who believed in our mission.”

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
