What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The substantial balance at the year end reflects the receipt of three grants towards the end of the accounting year. Those receipts total £14,500 which will be expended during the follwing year. Grants received previously have expired and only one will be repeated. Grants to replace those lost are actively being sought but so far with very limited success.” — page 2
