Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group and the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. This assessment has been made following a review of budgets prepared for the next twelve months, current performance and cashflow modelling that maintain the trustees' position that the group continues to be a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
