- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquires, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The trading year of 2024-25 remained challenging continuing the pattern of the previous years.”
- “The numbers of people attending Masonic & non-Masonic meetings and events remain subdued with little sign of any meaningful recovery to pre-Covid levels.”
- “Government changes to the Minimum Wage and Employer National Insurance rates and thresholds have resulted in extra cost to the business.”
- “The age of the building and the equipment is such that maintenance and repair costs are also increasing.”
- “We have engaged McCormack Benson Health & Safety Ltd as our Health & Safety company and competent person service.”
- “The company continues to operate through two identities: 1. The CDMH arm, which deals with Masonic units; and 2. The Festival Suite, which deals with non-Masonic or outside events.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
