Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The charity's forecasts end projections for the next twelve months show that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period, taking into account reasonable possible changes in trading performance and the potential impact of the cost of living and energy increases. This also considers the effectiveness of available measures to assist in mitigating the impact of the energy increases by installing further renewables and environmental improvements to reduce the Trust's energy use and carbon footprint. The charity has a positive cash balance and is forecasting for this to continue to be the case. The trustees have stress tested their forecasts, taking into account various scenarios, and remain confident that the uncertainties do not cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
