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 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

• “receipt from Driving Mobility of an award for being voted the best Centre in the country”
• “development of the Mobility Service in the outreach offices in Sheffield and York, with the intention of adding further outreach sites in Doncaster and Scarborough during the coming year”
• “second ShopMobility unit in the White Rose Centre which has significantly overtaken the performance of the Merrion Centre unit”
• “Funding for the Merrion Centre unit has now ended resulting in its closure”
• “A new initiative has been agreed with the Department of Transport with funding of £30K pa over three years. The objective is to identify a range of services to increase client independence and reduce isolation and loneliness for older and disabled people, particularly for those who are advised against driving.”
• “The Centre has been left a legacy, but at this stage the Trustees can not reliably calculate the amount receivable and as such it has not been included within these 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
