Fixed assets
Changes in fixed assets during the year are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Plans For Future Periods
The company continues to promote its main objectives in the coming year.
Trustees' Responsibilities In Relation To The Financial Statements
The trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed,subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is
-
inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the board of directors and trustees on 10 October 2025 and signed on its behalf.
