Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The Trustees believe that the risk that such a withdrawal of support might put the charity's solvency at risk is mitigated by the charity's lack of committed grant obligation and very low fixed costs. Accordingly the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust will be able to continue in existence for the foreseeable future and consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.” — page 7
