What the accounts disclose
Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £29k; policy: three months normal operating expenditure)
“At 31 March 2026 our unrestricted general reserves were below this amount, mainly caused by the lack of funding of approximately £25,000 in respect of the funding not received from Shepway CAB for the three months January to March 2025.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis on the expectation that the charity will receive sufficient funding for at least one year from the date these accounts are formally approved. The Charity is heavily dependent on Dover District Council and a three year service level agreement which although expired on 31 March 2025 is currently rolling over until all works are completed on the building following a major flood in June 2025.” — page 6
