pressure to maintain or increase the work it does with fewer funds. Efficiencies are achieved wherever possible
with more use of volunteer time and the Charity seeks to find alternative funding wherever possible.
The Trustees are not aware of any reason why they should not continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting.
