- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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.”
Significant events
- “Another phase of our long-term plan to modernise our building was implemented. The entire first floor was refurbished including improving the circulation areas, installing fire compliant doors throughout, upgrading the toilet and kitchenette, the creation of a new meeting room and complete recarpeting and redecoration. On the ground floor the main kitchen was extensively renovated.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
