Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.4 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group incurred a net loss of £1,101,090 during the year ended 28 March 2025 and as of that date, the net liability position of the group was £1,736,851. As stated in Note 1.4 these events or conditions, along with other matters, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability 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
