Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 charity'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

• “This was our 30th anniversary year which we celebrated by looking forward and building ambitiously for the future rather than simply looking back.”
• “A strategic decision not to mount an autumn/winter 2024/25 mid-scale theatre tour and instead concentrate resource on new-project development and fundraising delivered intended benefits.”
• “We instigated a major public fundraising campaign... succeeded in raising funds that have enabled us to reinstate the programme in 2025 and that go some of the way towards running the programme in 2026.”
• “The House Party was directed by Headlong's Artistic Director, Holly Race Roughan. Frantic Assembly Artistic Director, Scott Graham, provided the movement direction. The show was a Headlong and Chichester Festival Theatre co-production in association with Frantic Assembly.”
• “Throughout 2024/25, we held three R&D weeks for our new touring production for 2025/26: Lost Atoms, written by Anna Jordan and directed by Scott Graham.”
• “In May 2024, we were approached by Mark Ball, Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre, about a potential collaboration with Aurora Orchestra for performances they would be staging as part of the Southbank's Multitude Festival in May 2025.”
• “During the year, we released a series of six films devised and created by Scott Graham and titled TOUCH.”

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
