Going concern
Affirmed

“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. A cash flow forecast to the end of 2026 shows a cash-positive result and an increase in cash balances to £383k. For these reasons, the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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
