  Material uncertainty over going concern

  In the 9 months ending 31st December 2025, the charity incurred operating deficit of £568,995, and at that date the charity has a net liabilities position (a negative balance sheet) of £180,094. In addition, as is affecting the charity sector in general, there is uncertainty over the timing and level of future grant income given the prevailing economic environment and fundraising climate. Accordingly, a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore the charity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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
