- 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 Company'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
- “Partnered with Google to permanently install their unique Touch-to-See version of The Gruffalo at Google's Accessibility Discovery Centre in London.”
- “Chief Executive Camilla Oldland was awarded an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the King's Birthday Honours, June 2024, for her services to visual impairment.”
- “Appeared on national and international television, including the Kelly Clarkson Show in February 2025 and CBBC's Newsround in April 2025.”
- “Achieved a 12% increase in income despite a challenging fundraising environment, thanks to loyal trust and foundation grantmakers and other fundraisers.”

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
