Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees are of the opinion that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future, being not less than one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. For this reason, the Trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Trustees are confident that there is no adverse impact on the Going Concern assumption in these accounts, at the present time. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “So today, as sad as it is, the lasting legacy of the now closed River & Rowing Museum is to be celebrated.”
• “on 21st September 2025, after 27 fabulous years, we took the extremely difficult decision to close the building to the public.”
• “Post closure and from October 2025 the museum has moved into a semi-mothballed state, in order to reduce the level of financial losses and explore options for the future direction of the building, the collections and the River & Rowing Foundation itself. We have instigated a process of putting the building up for sale and are exploring new homes for the collection.”
• “Most of the trading activities of the subsidiary, River & Rowing Museum Trading Limited, were also ceased with effect from September 2025.”

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
