- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The charity was established in 2021 by the very generous donation of the initial fund of £3.2m by Priscilla Tolkien, youngest child and only daughter of the author, JRR Tolkien, and has been registered with the Charity Commission as a registered charity.”
- “In the financial year 2022/23 the charity received a further bequest of £956,263 from the Estate of Priscilla Tolkien.”
