Going concern

Affirmed

“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 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 Trust's name was once again changed in 2025, with the initial "The" being dropped to simplify the name, which is now Worcestershire Building Preservation Trust.”
• “The Trust is in the process of revising its Articles of Association in conjunction with establishing West Midlands Heritage Trust as a charitable incorporated organisation. This restructuring is anticipated to complete by the start of the next Financial Year.”
• “On 21st May 2025, after the end of this financial year, the Trust, and its partner Trusts (West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust and Wolverhampton Heritage Trust) underwent a structural change which resulted in the resignation of a significant number of Trustees.”
• “Construction works on Willow Court Farmhouse project on site commenced in April 2024 and will continue through into 2026 under a Building Contract with Messenger BCR.”

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
