- Going concern
- Affirmed
“There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have prepared income and expenditure and cash flow forecasts for the years ended 30 April 2026 and 30 April 2027 which show an operating surplus in 2026 and a small deficit in 2027. The Charity had unrestricted funds of £9m with the majority held as cash and investments as at 30 April 2025 and this is deemed sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital development plans and any unexpected expenditure or loss of income. On this basis the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.”

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
