Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees are satisfied that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis taking comfort in the resilience of the charity given: The charity's current cash position and level of reserves. The charity's ability to be agile due to the discretionary nature of much of its expenditure. Large parts of the Children's Wellbeing Service can be stopped, delayed or reduced as required, providing the charity with flexibility and control over a large proportion of its expenditure. In recent years, the charity has been able to successfully revise its fundraising strategy to focus on prioritising income streams available which provided the highest return on investment. The charity's ability to be flexible and react to the changing landscape has been proven and a similar approach can be taken if the challenging environment limits the fundraising activity that has been planned.”
