- 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In late January 2025, we were notified of the US administration's freeze on all funding, affecting 24% of our budgeted 2025 income.”
- “These projects were then formally terminated some months later, bringing a sudden and damaging end to years of impactful and transformative work.”
- “We worked hard to minimise the impacts on the communities we serve, on local partners, and on our own organisation by carefully managing our cashflow, concerted (and ultimately successful) efforts to recoup funds owed for activities delivered, restructuring impacted teams, reprioritising our overall budget, and close engagement with other key donors.”
- “We were grateful to be supported by one of our long-term core funders, Sida, who awarded us additional unrestricted funds to weather this challenging time.”
