- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 year ending 31 August 2024 comprised of a full year of activities. The next stage of the Playhouse refurbishment was completed... However, a number of site issues led to increased expenditure... A roof comprised of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) was identified... required a crash ceiling to be installed... plumbing and electrical issues needed repair... security features enhanced after break-ins. Unforeseeable costs associated with the situations mentioned contributed to the result of £70k loss for the year.”

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
