Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on current reserves levels, established donor relationships, and planned fundraising activities, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”

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
