“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 charitable company'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
- “During the year the Trustees held a meeting to discuss the Trust's long-term strategy and the legacy of the Trust. The Trustees made the decision that the Trust would continue for a limited number of years following Lady Hamlyn's passing.”
- “The Trust made the strategic decision in March 2025 to discontinue the Small Grants Programme from 1st April 2025.”
- “The year ended 31March 2026 was a comparatively difficult investment environment for cautious portfolios such as the one held by the Trust although modest revaluation gains were made in the year. The geopolitical and economic environment in the first part of 2026 poses significant risks to the investment environment.”
