- 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 group's and parent 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
- “Another academically successful John Vane Memorial Symposium was held in March 2025, which was the final meeting in the latest funding series supported by an unrestricted educational grant of £744,600 over four years awarded by United Therapeutics (UT). An application for a further four-year unrestricted educational grant was successful in 2025, which will be used to support a further four years of the JVMS series.”
- “During the year the Foundation rescinded its registration with the Fundraising Regulator (FR) and no longer contributes to the FR levy, applicable since August 2024.”

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
