Going concern

Affirmed

“The charity's forecasts and projections for the next twelve months show that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period, taking into account reasonable possible changes in trading performance. This also considers the effectiveness of available measures to assist in mitigating the impact. The charity has sufficient positive cash balances and is forecasting for this to continue to be the case. The trustees have stress tested their forecasts, taking into account various scenarios, and remain confident that the uncertainties do not cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern..”

Significant events

• “In February, Gary Hall, our Café Bar & Events manager, collapsed at work and sadly never regained consciousness. He passed away on the afternoon of Monday March 3rd in hospital.”
• “We have lived with the uncertainty over a RAAC-related issue with our building which thankfully is modest and well on the way to being resolved, and we are grateful to Newcastle University for their role in this. In December 2023, we received a structural engineer visual inspection survey from our landlords, Newcastle University, regarding the discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in some areas of our roof.”
• “We worked hard this year on deficit reduction, as we continue on the path to breakeven in the near term. In 2023/24 the annual operating deficit was -£331K and that has been significantly reduced in 2024/25 to -£128K. 2025/26 is projected to be lower still. Our reserves were built to support this glidepath and we fully expect to achieve breakeven in 2026/27.”

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
