Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Charity incurred operating losses during the year and, as of the balance-sheet date, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by £705,976. As stated in Note 3, these events and conditions, along with the matters set out in that note regarding the Charity's funding position and forecast cash flows, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern

Significant events
- “The Double Whammy of BREXIT (2016-2019) & COVID-19 (2020-2021) upturned the Charities Funding Landscape and Opportunities, impacting all our Plans/long-term strategies.”
- “Getting back to the levels of funding pre-2020 has proven exceedingly difficult as the funding world has totally changed post-Brexit / post- pandemic.”
- “Meanwhile the short-term leases taken in 2016 were not extended as initial promised. All of the above contributing to the build-up of the current debt.”
- “To meet all the challenges brought about by these significant issues we the Board of trustees are starting to reset the organisation in readiness to establish a sustainable strategy going forward.”

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
