- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The pattern of events arising from the pandemic rendered many of what would have been our immediate plans toward beneficiaries unachievable.”
- “Planning permission has been obtained for the construction of an activity & meeting space at Quinta. Fundraising is underway and contractors are quoting for work.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
