Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The charity has sufficient cash and reserves to satisfy both directors/trustees and auditors through the assessment period ending September 2026, which is more than a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts. The directors/trustees are also satisfied that there are no other material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Techniquest to continue as a going concern. The directors/trustees are therefore of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

Significant events

• “We marked a major milestone in reducing our carbon footprint with the installation of 210 solar panels across our roof. We also celebrated national recognition, and development began to create the Bradbury Zone, our new exhibition space due to open in summer 2025.”
• “In October, we delivered Explore Our Planet / Archwiliwch ein Planed, in partnership with UKRI Natural Environment Research Council and the National Oceanography Centre. Over one weekend we engaged 2,500 visitors and pupils with more than 100 scientists, and 750 people experienced a rare tour of the research vessel RRS James Cook.”
• “This year, we invested in major improvements that reduce our environmental footprint while reinforcing our message to visitors. In 2024, we installed 210 solar panels covering 506m² of our south-facing barrel roof, thanks to support from the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund. This renewable energy system is already reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, and in the first 7 months, we have saved approximately 9.7 tonnes of CO2 emissions.”

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
