18. Going concern
The company incurred net expenditure for the year of £47,672 (31 May 2024 — net expenditure of £51,711).
These financial statements do not include any adjustments arising from failure to secure this funding for the company on an ongoing basis.
The directors continue to take action to increase incoming resources and to reduce expenditure in order to allow the company to maintain a position of cash surplus on an ongoing basis.
The ongoing measures taken by the directors to achieve these objectives include:
-
a. Review of pricing structure and charges for all goods and services provided by the company in carrying out its charitable activities
-
b. Increase prices and charges where necessary and possible c. Review of all overheads and outgoings and carrying out cost reductions where necessary and possible
-
d. Seeking new sources of funding from relevant third parties and government agencies
The directors are confident that the action taken and the ongoing support of funders and local government agencies and departments will ensure that the company maintains a “cash” surplus position and the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis accordingly.
