Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The Charity, like all other businesses, has continued to be challenged by the instability of the cost-of-living crisis during this period which has directly impacted our operation.”
• “We continue to see inflated utility bills, rising insurance costs and enlarged operational overheads which have added to the pressures of running a small arts organisation.”
• “Our refreshed programme of events at the Swan Theatre and Huntingdon Hall, is reaching a demographically younger and more diverse audience than ever before, supporting our continued efforts to deliver a varied and expanding programme for the city and wider county.”

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
