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 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

• “The College's achievements this year are reflected both in student recruitment and placements, and in the wide range of events that enrich the educational and formational experience at the heart of our community.”

• “Continuing the implementation of our Alumni & Development strategy, the College carried out a targeted monthly giving campaign aimed at developing a culture of giving in College.”

• “The additional Relay staffing continues to enable us to run Growing Leaders courses for churches across the region, while the bursaries have supported the growth of our Free Church pathway.”

• “Fee income for the year increased by 8% to £4,909,197 on the previous year's figure £4,527,111. The majority of the increase in income is due to a higher number of students in residence and an increase in the number of Cranmer students paying tuition fees.”
• “Cash at bank and in hand has fallen by £535,832 to £3,610,341 (2024: £4,146,174) principally due to the repayment of loans during the year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
