Despite this loss, the trustees report that the Centre's future remains secure until mid-2027, supported by investment bonds and deposit accounts. The trustees note that securing future funding from government and charitable trusts will be a considerable challenge due to the squeeze on local authority funding.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: sufficient income to cover anticipated operating losses (held: £170k)
The continuing overall policy of the Trustees is to maintain reserves, suitably invested, to generate sufficient income to cover anticipated operating losses — page 2
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
The Centre’s future remains secure, therefore, until mid-2027 but from 2025 onwards there will have to be a concerted effort through a newly-created Fundraising Sub-Committee to finding grant aid or revenue support from central or local government as well as funding from increased fees and charitable trusts. Funding across the whole care sector has suffered greatly with the squeeze on local authority funding, so this will be a considerable challenge. — page 2
