Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have reviewed the ability of the Charity and the Group to continue as a going concern, and noted no material uncertainties that would mean it would be inappropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. They have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the Group and Charity accounts.”

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
