Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Our loss this year is £0.8m which, even with our healthy balance sheet, is an unsustainable deficit should it recur long term. The Board of Trustees, with regret, authorised a cost reduction programme in September 2024 to target a £0.6m annualised cost reduction.”
• “Sadly, in September 2024 we said farewell to Ann Chalmers MBE who retired after more than two decades as our CEO and did so much to lead and grow the charity in that period. We have welcomed Nicola Gilham as our Head of Charity while we seek a full-time replacement for Ann.”
• “Finally a donor who had formally committed £1m over three years, reneged on their payments after the first tranche of £330k. This led to a significant gap in our anticipated income for the 2023/4 and 2024/5 which we are now tackling.”

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
