Material uncertainty over going concern
In February 2024 the charity closed its bookshop and mail order business. All stock was fully impaired, and the charity has paid off outstanding creditors. From 1 March 2024, the bookshop ceased trading, the Trustees are now looking at options during 2025 for future trading of the Charity. Due to the above, the Trustees do not consider the charity to be a going concern and a basis other than going concern has been adopted for the preparation of these financial statements.

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
