- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 Group and the Parent Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- “The number of people experiencing catastrophic hunger has more than doubled, largely due to the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Sudan.”
- “The crisis in Gaza dominated public consciousness in 2024 with a dramatic escalation of hostilities, unleashing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.”
- “In 2024, we raised £22.3 million, helped by many substantial donations from institutional donors.”
- “Action Against Hunger UK substantially grew its regular giving programme in 2024.”
- “In 2024, Action Against Hunger UK expanded its technical support to governments and partners, championing innovative approaches for monitoring nutrition coverage.”

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
