- “Its current Forward Look 2023 - 2026 was adopted by trustees in September 2022 and this sets out the main strategic direction of the organisation for the next three years.”
- “Base rents this year increased by 6% overall in response to the continued high costs of energy.”
- “Unipol appointed a new CEO, Sam Bailey-Watts in June 2025, following a two-month role as Group Executive Director.”

- “NCVO was appointed to conduct an independent Governance Review in September 2025 that will be completed and presented at December's Board meeting.”

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
