  Material uncertainty over going concern

  their assessment highlights that a significant proportion of budgeted income is derived from donations, the timing of which is inherently uncertain. This uncertainty has led to delays in the receipt of funding and actual financial performance falling short of budgeted expectations. As a result, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
