Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The trustees have prepared forecasts for the period ended 30 September 2027. Based on these forecasts, and the voluntary income that has been received since the year-end date, the trustees are of the opinion that the group will receive sufficient donations, and income from its merchandise sales and public events, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements to continue operating. However, donations are intrinsically uncertain, and the ongoing support of the charity’s current donors and supporters will be fundamental until the new trading model has been established.” — page 21
