Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the trustees of the group and parent charitable company consider there to be a material uncertainty in respect of the ability to secure the completion of £10m loan in late 2025 before existing funding facilities are exhausted in the next 12 months, and therefore ability to operate within financing facilities. As stated in note 1, these events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
