What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“But I must stress that the committee must still exercise fiscal caution during the year ahead as there is the potential for significant financial hardships going forward including likely living wage increases, repercussions of a change in government and some unknowns around policy and levels of funding. Most significant concern is the change in consumables legislation which represents a potential black hole of up to £29,000 in next year’s income.” — page 10
