statements are presented in sterllng and are rounded to the nearest pound.

Other than the assessment of going concern below. the preparation of the financial
ststemenls did not requlre the trustees to make any significant ludgernents or
estimates.

appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this
assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these
f inancial statements.
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the abllity of the
charty to contlnue as a going concern. The trustees are of the oplnion that the charity
wlll have sufficient resources to meet tts liabilities as they fall due.

measured reliably by the charity. this Is normally upon notif ication of the interest paid
