“Due to this, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the level of expected income and expenditure for the 12 months from the date of signing these accounts and are satisfied that the charity will continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “One of our Members, Sasha, has approached the Borough Council of Kings Lynn to stop cars parking on the pavement near Millfleet, so that wheelchairs and pushchairs don't have to divert onto a busy road to get past the cars.”
- “After a successful campaign to promote the continuing use of cash in shops and cafes in our local area, another Member, Reece, was supported to travel to London to talk to a Government Select Committee on the impact of a cashless society.”
- “Forward has created a kitchen to enable Members to make confectionery to sell in our shop, provide work experience and increase shop profits.”
- “We would like to make special mention of our member of staff Sally Beadle, who ran the London Marathon to raise money for Forward.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
