Going concern

Affirmed

“Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the Trust together with the expected ongoing demand for places and the Trust's future projected cash flows and in addition having reviewed the potential impact of the cost of living crisis and uncertainty on the Trust's finances, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the Trust's financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
