- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the group and charitable parents' financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The global stock markets have continued to be impacted by geopolitical issues with the value of global equities falling significantly in the first quarter of 2025. In February and March 2025, markets reacted to the impact of policy uncertainty on growth and investment as well as the potential inflationary impact of trade restrictions following tariff announcements by President Trump, after his re-election in November 2024.”
- “Markets fell sharply on 31 March 2025. Markets fell further at the start of April 2025 once the actual "reciprocal" tariffs were announced and rallied slightly in the following days following a pause in the implementation date of these tariffs (with the exception of those imposed on China). The full impact is therefore still to be seen and there are concerns around the impact on global growth, inflation and interest rates.”
- “Major technology stocks, the "Magnificent 7", fell sharply in the first quarter of 2025 as investors questioned these firms' large capital spending commitments after the Chinese startup, DeepSeek, launched a new low-cost Artificial Intelligence (AI) model.”
- “The war in Ukraine continues and the situation in the Middle East remains a concern with the potential for further escalation and threats to supply chains given the continuing disruption to the Red Sea shipping routes.”
