“The trustees believe that Ageing Better is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and as such have a reasonable expectation that Ageing Better has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
