Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
At 31 May 2025, the charity had net liabilities of £111,234. The trustees have reviewed forecasts, trading performance and the restructuring undertaken during the period. The Oldham contract that expires on 31 July 2026 will not be renewed and the charity will cease trading. Accordingly, a going concern basis of preparation is no longer appropriate and the financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. No material adjustment arose as a result of the financial statements being prepared on a non-going concern basis.
