At the balance sheet date net cash balances amounted to £439,546 (2025 : £3,573,684).

After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason the going concern basis is adopted in preparing the financial statements.
FUTURE PLANS
