“Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes we will be able to realise our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has a board approved budget and quarterly updated forecast which projects that the Company's existing working capital can fund its operations for at least one year.”
Significant events
- “In the financial 17-month period ended 31 August 2024, the Company has reported an operating loss of £839,076. Due to the change in accounting year end, the reporting period included two six-week school holiday periods when there is minimal revenue realised, adversely impacting the Statement of Comprehensive Income.”
- “The Company is undertaking a review of its entity status, considering a potential move towards charitable status to better align with its core customers and partners, and enable access to non-commercial funding streams for the furtherance of its objectives in supporting schools, children and young people.”
