“Having reviewed the future projected income and expenditure, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the SDBF has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. They consider that there were no material uncertainties over the charity's financial viability at the date of approving the accounts. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
