Significant events
- “The charity recorded a deficit of £666,541 for the year ended 30 September 2025. The trustees recognise the seriousness of this financial position and have undertaken a detailed review of the circumstances which gave rise to the deficit. Investigations identified significant weaknesses in the charity's internal financial controls, management reporting processes and financial oversight arrangements.”
- “The trustees have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the deficit and are taking appropriate professional advice regarding governance, financial management and future operational arrangements going forward to ensure that appropriate systems and controls are established to safeguard the charity's assets and future operations.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, the Trustees commissioned an independent valuation of certain intellectual property assets owned by the charity. The valuation was undertaken by Inngot Limited, 221 High Street, Swansea, SA1 1NW, and concluded that the intellectual property had an estimated value of £540,000.”
