Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Group or Foundation or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Group and Foundation's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
