  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to note 1(q) in the financial statements, which highlights the fact that there is a net current liability position of £541,500 and a deficit on unrestricted funds of £937,148. Whilst these conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, note 1(q) provides a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding this.

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
