- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Like all the Charity sector, and indeed the broader overall economy, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation was adversely affected by the effects of the Covid19 pandemic, and the necessary actions taken by HM government from March 2020 and through 2024 to tackle the issue. The impact of this was worsened following the cost-of-living crisis, the economic pressures that have arisen since the start of the war in the Ukraine, and the resultant rapid rise in inflation largely fuelled by rises in utility, power and food prices, and raises in the basic living wage. All of these factors have affected our charity, our staff and our supporters, and have combined to create a difficult trading background which has further deteriorated following the unease in the Middle East.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
