- 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 charitable 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
- “Luton Carnival Arts Development Trust continued to support new artists which includes mentoring and training.”
- “Luton International Carnival 2024 took place in Luton Town Centre. The event was successfully delivered with strong audience numbers exceeding 8000.”
- “Luton Carnival Arts Development Trust continued leading the delivery of this now established national partnership programme which forms part of the Arts Council NPO programme.”

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
