Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw your attention to the going concern paragraph in the notes to the financial statements which highlights that the charity does not have sufficient reserves to cover operating costs for 12 months from the signing date, as well as not having any significant confirmed future income. This position gives rise to material uncertainty as to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern in the 2025/26 financial period.

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
