Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the 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

• “Glyn Dredge, the park director, died on 20th April 2024 after a long battle with cancer.”
• “A memorial service was held for Glyn in the Walled Garden at the end of June.”
• “the Walled Garden opened at weekends from Easter 12-4pm.”
• “Hertfordshire Big Band returned for a third year with an afternoon picnic concert in June in the Walled Garden, a very successful event.”
• “two outdoor theatre productions by The Pantaloons despite cold weather conditions still a good number attended.”
• “A good apple crop resulted in many successful family apple picking days resulted in the production of 2000 litres of apple juice.”
• “The greenhouses are progressing in their refurbishment with the top greenhouse nearing the end of the structural repair phase.”
• “Unfortunately we did not have Glyn's chilies this year in the polytunnel but did grow many perennials for both planting out in the Walled Garden and to sell on the Walled Garden honesty stall.”

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
