The auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
What the accounts disclose
“Amounts totalling £908,000 (2024: £1,146,000) were received as gift aid donations from subsidiary undertakings.”
“It is the Charity’s policy to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure that it is in a position to continue its grant-making activities and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the Charity for support of organisations or institutions in times of need. Consequently, the Trustees consider it appropriate to maintain ‘Free Reserves’ (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in Tangible Fixed Assets, Fixed Asset Investments or Loans to Subsidiary Undertakings) at a level which will not impinge on its ability to support Charitable Institutions.” — page 5
