- 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 group's or the parent 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.”

- “We secured funding from the Rural Asset Multiplier Programme (RAMP) to enhance rural community facilities, health and wellbeing, volunteer opportunities and community resilience.”
- “In March 2024, we received approval from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for the Red Squirrels Recovery Network project. This ambitious five-year partnership project was awarded £4.86 million...”

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
