Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e., whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements. The Board and senior management have considered both the level of reserves and the current ongoing cost of living and energy crises on the charity. Following a review of cash forecasts, planned operations and financial implications; a satisfactory percentage of income has been secured for the next 12 months and there is sufficient anticipated income to cover the costs of the charity well into 2025/26. Taking into account all potential limitations on the delivery of outcomes or the finalising of income streams, over the next 12 months, the trustees are satisfied that the charity remains in a satisfactory financial position as a going concern and have concluded that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
