“On the basis of these projections they have assessed that CFW has adequate financial resources and the appropriate structures in place to manage its operational risks. In addition, the budgeting and forecasting process has taken account of the current economic and funding climate and its potential impact on our various sources of income and expenditure. Therefore, the Trustees are confident that there is a reasonable expectation that CFW has adequate resources and control mechanisms to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, on this basis the Trustees believe, to the best of their belief and knowledge, that CFW remains a going concern for at least the period to March 2025”
