Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date these accounts were approved. They have concluded that the charity has the ability to continue and as such the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. This conclusion is based on available resources and committed future donations. The Trustees have made plans to deal with the current situation as much as it is possible, as summarised in the Trustees Report, and believe the charity has sufficient cash resources to meet all its liabilities falling due within 12 months of the date these accounts were approved.”

Significant events

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
