Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors' 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 HT'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

• “2024 leading into 2025 held no great surprises and allowed us to look at the operations in the whole. The overall position of the charity remains strong but there are areas that need to be addressed to allow the charity to maintain its security.”
• “The wet start to 2024 significantly impacted visitor numbers and we ended up 2300 down on the preceding year (income slightly rose due to increased entry fees).”
• “There have not been any major losses on the arboricultural side. We continue to experience more extreme weather events, but the storms have come from more usual directions without major devastation.”
• “We recruited a new Head Gardener, Marcus Wilson, who started in March.”
• “The holiday let business has remained strong although the local market has suffered the location we have has protected our numbers with many returning customers.”
• “The impending Renters Reform Act meant we have done a review of the property portfolio.”

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
