- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “A ground breaking centrepiece of our approach is the Equal Safe and Free Fund, inaugurated in 2023 and operational for the first time in 2024. The Fund is constituted of £20 million from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office combined with £5 million from the Foundation and other independent funders.”

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
