## Review of activities and achievements 

The Statement of Financial Activities on page 5 of the financial statements sets out the results for the year. The purpose of the funds are outlined in the notes to the financial statements. 

The charitable company is currently developing a local history museum and aims to market this once it becomes fully operational. It continues to attract interest from the local community and are currently working on a number of projects to enhance the building for community use. 

The considered view of the trustees is that, after making enquiries, they have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company will have adequate resources available to finance its trading and other obligations for the foreseeable future. The trustees are not aware of any events likely to occur in the twelve months following the sate of the approval of the financial statements that may impact on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that it is therefore appropriate for the charitable company's financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025 to have been prepared on a going concern basis.
