“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events

- “Fairfield Trust has experienced sustained growth in turnover, staffing, and asset base in recent years.”
- “The organisation continues to maintain a 'Good' rating from both Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission.”
- “Increases in the cost of living, utilities, and general operating expenses are placing additional financial pressure on the organisation and its commercial activities.”
- “During the 2023-24 financial year the trustees implemented a new investment policy which included engaging the services of an investment management company.”
