- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties which would cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. We have significant fundraising needs annually, but our ongoing campaigning continues to bear fruit from our generous donors, and our reserves are sufficient to cover us through periods of uncertainty.”
Significant events
- “Achievements of 2024 include two major exhibitions and the full refurbishment of our main exhibition space.”
- “In January 2025, we launched Wiener Digital Collections, an online portal providing unprecedented access to our digitized material.”
- “Our fundraising gala dinner at the Wallace Collection, which raised a remarkable £400,000 to support our work.”

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
