- 15 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed. 

## **Going concern** 

- 16 We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements. 

## **Grants and donations** 

- 17 All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income. 

Yours faithfully jncolll
