“Taking all of the above into account, along with a cash flow based on forecast income and expenditure to 31 March 2027, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

- “February saw the launch of Blood: Ties and Tensions”
- “2024/25 also saw the three busiest visitor days in the Museum's history”
- “in the year, we began three significant projects that underline this commitment entirely; a history trail developed with local young people funded by Leeds Cultural Investment Programme, the continuation of our Harehills Writers Group funded by HM Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and a significant two-year programme funded by the Museums Association Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund which will see us engage a Curator of Cultural Narratives in 2025.”
- “Our long-term vision is that, by 2030, the Thackray Museum of Medicine will have established itself as the leading medical museum in the UK”

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
