Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on their review of these reports, the trustees expect the Trust will have adequate reserves and resources to continue its activities for the 12 months from the signing of this report and can meet its obligations as they fall due. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The 2024/25 season was a pivotal year for The Wigmore Hall Trust, finally achieving a long-held ambition to become independent of public funding, a huge achievement for all associated with the Hall.”
• “The 125th anniversary programme is a landmark event for all associated with this very special place.”
• “At the end of this season, we will bid a fond farewell to two longstanding members of staff, Peter Jervis and Marie-Hélène Osterweil, who, between them, have given 50 years of service at a senior level.”
• “We also look forward to the publication of a new history of Wigmore Hall by one of our Trustees, Julia Boyd. An award-winning historian, Julia has put thousands of hours of voluntary work into creating There is Sweet Music Here: The World of Wigmore Hall. Publication is scheduled for May 2026.”

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
