Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The Club’s aim is to make donations in line with funds received during the year. The Club does not incur any capital expenditure or have costs of a recurring nature. Its main fundraising event is the annual Horse Ride, and if this event were to be cancelled it could severely limit the Club’s ability to offer support over the following year.” — page 5
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
