Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees have considered whether the going concern basis of preparation for these accounts remains appropriate. To make this assessment the Trustees have reviewed short-medium term financial forecasts and cashflow forecasts, and have completed a review of the reserves policy. The outcome of that review is that at no point in the next 12 months, or the medium-term forecast does the charity breach its free reserves position. Taking into account the above, including the level of cash and near liquid investments, the Trustees believe that whilst inherent uncertainty exists, this does not pose a material uncertainty that would cast doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which is a period of at least twelve months from the signing of the accounts and audit report. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

• “In 2023/24, the Trustees designated £102,000 to support a planned deficit in Community Services... However, the fund was not drawn upon during 2024/25, as the service exceeded expectations and delivered a surplus. This marks a a significant milestone in the financial sustainability of Community Services, and as a result, the designated fund has now been closed.”
• “Following a significant financial turnaround in 2024/25, driven by increased student numbers, improved trading performance, and successful cost management, the Charity no longer forecasts operating deficits. As a result, the fund was not drawn upon during the year and has now been closed.”

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
