Material uncertainty over going concern
We have identified a matter of concern in our report because we have concerns that the charity may not be able to continue as a going concern. Disclosure has been made in note 1.2 to the accounts concerning the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Whilst re-financing discussions are taking place, there is some doubt over whether the charity has sufficient working capital over the next 12 months. The charity has net current liabilities of £209,072. These conditions, along with the matters explained in note 1.2 to the accounts, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts do not include the adjustments that would result if the charity was unable to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
