- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company made a loss in the year of £117,693 but continues to hold net assets. The Directors have noted the downwards trajectory in the Company's net assets over recent years and will explore options available to the Company should this trend continue. In the meantime, the parent company continues to support the work of the Company, demonstrated through the provision of a letter of support. The Directors have considered this in their assessment. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company's main activity was managing the BPF's chargeable events. The company undertook five chargeable events in 2024; four in London and two in Edinburgh. The company intends to run six chargeable events in 2025.”

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
