What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £-7k)
The aggregate cumulative funds deficit has reduced by some 40%, to £7,372 as at 30 September 2025.
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
Were HMRC to seek to enforce the PAYE liabilities and/or its account of interest and costs, the absence of a formally agreed Time To Pay arrangement would place the Charity under immediate and critical financial stress. In such circumstances, the ability of the Charity to continue to function as a going concern would require the Trustees’ careful consideration and require the Association to have recourse to other funding sources in order to continue as a going concern.
