Going concern
Affirmed

“Given the modelling, the assurance of continued financial support obtained from AXA UK plc in the form of a letter of support, and the outlook for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Financial Report.”

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
