The charity had a surplus for the period of £2,983 (2024.. £60,877 defi'cit), and a deficit of
£10,616 unrestricted funds.

event of a significant drop in income the charity can maintain its current level of activities for a
reasonable period until replacement funding is obtained. At the year end the charity held
unrestricted cash funds of £51,392 which represents approximately 9 months unrestrrcted
operating expenses. The trustees therefore consider the charity a Going Concern.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with

state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent examinerfs statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with the Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeks explanations
from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequentty I do not express an
audit opinion on the accounts.
