Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The charity's forecasts and projections show that the charity should be able to operate within its current working capital resources. The Charity has considerable financial resources and the Trustees believe it is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries and after having reviewed the Charity's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
