“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue its operations. With having a single source of income, the Directors remain confident in the resilience of the subscription model of Postcode Lottery to protect the Trust income. In the event of a substantial change in circumstances significantly reducing revenue, the Trust holds sufficient cash reserves to ensure it can continue operations for the foreseeable future.”
