Material uncertainty over going concern
Your attention is drawn to note 2 to the accounts. As stated in that note, the current liabilities exceed the current assets by £512,852 and following COVID restrictions there continues to be a nervousness on the part of those who previously benefitted from the services the charity offers, to return, resulting in a much reduced income. These conditions indicates that a material uncertainty exists the may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Significant events
- “The year to 31 July 2025 was another challenging one for the charity. While we are 5 years on, we are still feeling the effects of the COVID pandemic. The impact on the charity has still been very keenly felt. The challenges including repaying the debts built as a result of the COVID pandemic and its aftermath. The combined effect has resulted in the charity continuing in making a lossmaking position.”

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
