Reasons for Late Submission

We are currently in the process of recruiting a new accountant to ensure this does not recur.
Additionally, one of our key trustees, Paula, has recently undergone a hospital operation, which has further impacted our administrative capacity during the reporting period. We appreciate your understanding and assure you that robust systems are now being put in place.

-
Establishing a clear annual accounts preparation timeline
-
