“In concluding that Chefs in Schools remains a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the Trustees considered a range of specific factors relating to the charity's financial position, operational plans and wider risk environment. This assessment was informed by detailed analysis from the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and the Executive, including up-to-date cashflow forecasts reflecting anticipated income from confirmed grants, contracted school partnerships and other secured funding.”
