- Affirmed
“The Trustees have prepared detailed projections for the next 18 months and outline projections up to 2027, based on expected income from regular activities, grants and donations from funders and other donations, against expected general and project expenditure. On the basis of those projections, they consider the charity and group to be a going concern for at least 12 months following approval of the accounts and for the foreseeable future. No material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Museum to continue as a going concern have been identified by management or the Trustees. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
