- Affirmed
“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the medium term. Accordingly, the Group expects to continue to have access to sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations for a period of at least 18 months after the approval of these financial statements, namely the period to March 2027 and the Board therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
