“Based on current forecasts and the availability of these contingency measures, the Trustees believe that the Charity has adequate resources to continue operating for at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, although the Trustees remain vigilant in monitoring the Charity’s financial position and will take further steps as necessary to maintain solvency.” — page 8
