- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”
Significant events
- “Whilst the economic environment remains challenging, especially in relation to payroll costs, rigorous cost controls have continued to be applied, which place the company favourably to take full advantage of any improvement in the economic climate.”
- “A donation was made to the National Trust, under Gift Aid, of £763,291 (2024: £577,818). A further gift aid payment in relation to the results of the year ended 28 February 2025 has been accrued for of £1,154,121 (2024: £763,291).”

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
