Going concern

Affirmed

“The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainty exists. At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 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 Group and Parent charity'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

• “2024/25 has been a year in which the Belgrade has shown what it truly stands for. We set out to demonstrate that a producing, people-first, co-creating theatre can make a real difference to the life of this city and we have done just that.”
• “Our producing year has been exceptional. Romeo and Juliet brought together over 150 local professional and community artists and reached audiences here in Coventry and on national stages.”
• “The 24/25 record breaking pantomime of Dick Whittington, led by Ian Lauchlan as writer and director, proved to be a huge success, attracting an audience of more than 39,000 and grossing over £819,000, an all-time high for the theatre.”
• “We were delighted to welcome Laura back in 2024 and she has worked intensively on a revised business plan and stabilising the mixed model financial planning.”
• “As Laura now prepares for her second maternity leave, we are pleased to welcome Emma Flatley - a Cov Kid as our new Interim CEO.”

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
