- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern and that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate for the charity to continue to prepare its accounts on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Driving Ambition®: helping people gain the learning to prepare for their driving theory test. In this year we also introduced a 'masterclass' element to provide additional test practice to help learners build confidence”
- “A particular highlight of the year was our Lead Garage Trainer, Laura, being shortlisted for the IMI 30% Club Inspiring Women Award.”
- “Virtual Reality continues to be a key part of the charity's work, providing an accessible way for people with a range of disadvantages and learning challenges to gain the practice skills. Several new courses were introduced in this year.”
- “With the support of funding from Ufi Voc Tech Trust, we started work on development of a new Virtual Reality module on Electric Vehicles. Level 1, focused on awareness and safety, was developed in this year and piloted with a group of learners.”
- “An immersive pre-CSCS course has also been completed, which takes learners through the health and safety knowledge to apply for a green card, a requirement to work on a construction site.”
