What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The focus for the immediate future is to make the annual programme budget balance going forward into the next financial year. A significant financial gift had previously allowed us to plug the annual deficit and avoid passing the full cost on to members’ families. The gift has now been spent down, and the Trustees have agreed to not eat any further into our reserves.”
