Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees are confident that for at least the twelve months following the date on which the 2024-25 annual accounts are signed, the Museum remains a going concern. The Museum managed another challenging year which included the completion of the "Real Rooms" galleries refurbishment. As a consequence, tax relief claimed and applied for by way of Museum and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief has contributed to free reserves ensuring they remain at least at the level the trustees have set. A balanced budget was approved for 2025-26 reflecting a more confident outlook the Museum has both in terms of programming and commercial activity. 25-26 continues to present obstacles, and the museum remains vigilant to these ensuring there is management capacity to navigate the museum through its strategic plan ensuring a vibrant future for at least the twelve months following the signing of this annual report. The Museum is expecting to continue to grow visitor numbers during 25-26 and beyond and with this a revised donation and income strategy to help deliver a more consistent level of earned income year on year. The museum is also expecting a three-year resource allocation settlement from DCMS commencing 2026 and for capital a four-year settlement to 2030.”

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
