Material uncertainty over going concern
The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. However, the Trustees consider that a material uncertainty remains, primarily reflecting limited cash headroom, the timing and control of certain income streams, and the delivery of mitigating actions. This material uncertainty may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
