“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 charity'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.”
Significant events
- “Redundancy and termination payments totalling £4,935 (2024 - £Nil) were made in the reporting period funded out of Unrestricted funds.”
- “The charity took over the existing operations of S6 Foodbank, Forge Youth and much of Restore operations last year from The Philadelphia Network Limited (charity no. 1134973).”
