Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Current forecasting demonstrates, that even on baseline scenarios which don't factor in growth and other plans in development, that free reserves will continue above the current reserves policy minimum level. The review of Friends of the Earth Charitable Trust's financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trustees confidence that the charity remains a going concern.”

Significant events

• “Friends of the Earth commenced a change programme in June 2024 to achieve a more financially sustainable organisation, with a net reduction of 21 employees (18.75 full-time equivalent roles). The programme was implemented with ongoing consultation with the recognised trade union Unite, and headcount reductions were achieved by voluntary means rather than any compulsory measures.”

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
