“The trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- “Over £45k was received in the year to 31 August 2025. In total, just over £81.5k have been raised [for Godwin Fund].”
