Going concern

Affirmed

“As part of its strategic planning the trustees have prepared a business plan for the three years to March 2028. The forecast reflects the working capital requirements of the charity to meet its trading projections in detail to March 2027 and for the year to March 2028. The plan shows a level of funding required that is met by the normal trading projections and other revenue streams of the charity during the period of the plan. The trustees continue to seek opportunities to derive additional revenue from the charity's property assets and to utilise spare capacity. The trustees continue to involve the charity's stakeholders in its plans with a view to maintaining their ongoing support and have received no indication that this support will cease. The trustees, after due consideration, have concluded that the company is a going concern and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In 2022 Magna was awarded a levelling up fund Grant by Rotherham Borough Council in the sum of £1,890,000. This, together with planned funding by Magna, enabled the charity to replace a significant number of exhibits in each of the pavilions in the visitor attraction. The improvements started in 2022 with installation of new exhibits taking place at times”
• “On 1 May 2025, trustees agreed that reserves should be revised from £320,000 to £400,000 to reflect the increased costs in these areas.”

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
