Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial position and performance of the charity and the group is detailed in the financial statements and accompanying notes which commence from page 26, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the charity on pages 15 and 16. The charity has acceptable financial resources: unrestricted funds have increased from £4.129 million to £4.334 million. As a consequence, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

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
