- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees believe that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as expected funds receivable are anticipated to be sufficient to fund committed projects. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2025, the international development sector faced a swift succession of shocks set in motion by the US Government's freeze on foreign aid in January. This triggered a profound shift in the global health architecture, destabilising decades of global health progress with a devastating impact on vulnerable people. The UK Government has also cut the UKAID budget from 0.5% of Gross National Income (GNI) to 0.3%.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
