- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. World Vision UK's activities are planned annually with a 3-year horizon. This is implemented by management through detailed operational plans. In-year monitoring of financial performance and market conditions is undertaken on a regular basis, with reforecasting and financial modelling performed as appropriate. Planning incorporates compliance with the reserves policy which is aimed at ensuring there are adequate reserves to cover: short-term applicable expenditure, working capital requirements and financial risks that crystallise. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Financial Review.”

Significant events
- “The humanitarian crises we responded to in 2025 were driven by interconnected forces – conflict, climate shocks, economic instability, pandemics and displacement.”
- “This year, the World Vision Partnership was audited by the Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative (HQAI), an independent auditor for the humanitarian and development sector - a great opportunity to receive feedback on our work as we seek to continually improve it.”
- “A significant milestone this year was World Vision UK's joint hosting of NOURISH: A Global Youth School Meals Dialogue – a youth-led digital event that platformed the voices and recommendations of young leaders from 12 countries.”
- “In 2025, the resurgence of Ebola in Mweka and Bulape tested the project's resilience - but thanks to strong local partnerships, the project adapted quickly.”
- “Beyond committed giving, our supporters demonstrated remarkable generosity this year. We were deeply moved by the overwhelming response to our emergency appeals, especially following the earthquake which struck Myanmar in March. This appeal raised £262,223 enabling us to provide life-saving interventions for communities.”
- “The dramatic reduction in international aid has magnified the criticality for charities like us, to wrestle with two key challenges”

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
