“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 and parent charity'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.”

- “In terms of the 'green agenda' the trust continues to enhance the transport fleet and ensure all capital projects that are undertaken have net zero aspects embedded throughout.”

During COVID this project was instrumental on the island which was extremely beneficial and appreciated by the community. The success of the project has meant a further year has been secured taking the project up to 31st March 2025.”
