Going concern
Affirmed

“While the 2026 season was impacted by labour cost increases and higher costs on shop supplies, the Trustees are satisfied that the operational plans and financial budgets adopted are sufficient to ensure the Foundation and its trading subsidiary together remain a going concern for the year ahead and for the foreseeable future. / After reviewing the company's forecasts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charitable group's ability to continue as a going concern. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. / Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent 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.”
