Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Based on this assessment, the Trustees are satisfied that, even under more adverse assumptions resulting in reduced income and operating surpluses, the Group retains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. Having considered these factors, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, defined as a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis, the Trustees have adopted the going concern assumption in the preparation of the financial statements.”
