What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“Pressures on our budget continue and we are having to work even more efficiently, while remaining just as effective. This situation is ongoing, of course, but Paul's tireless efforts to raise funds continue to bear fruit and we are thankful to all our funders listed.” — page 2
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Governance: Trustees are appointed with regard to skills, knowledge & experience for no longer than five years. We currently have six trustees, five of whom are members of the Traveller community. No trustee receives renumeration for their role. Next year we will recruit an NHS health representative, a treasurer trustee and more trustees of all skills to help LTI grow and develop as we need expertise in these areas.
“Our trustee body is committed to developing the charity, although we are lacking some skills, and this has meant we have had to rely on outside expertise for advice on various matters, including finance and human resources.”
