What the accounts disclose
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“This is important as we are now entering uncertain times, where securing funding is becoming increasingly difficult. Derbyshire County Council’s decision last year to stop discretionary funding of voluntary organisations has impacted us most with the withdrawal of our infrastructure funding. Our reserves will ensure that we can continue to maintain our services for the next year, giving us a breathing space in which to hopefully find alternative funding.”
