Significant events
- “Despite continuing global challenges, the charity sees its long term strategy as a roadmap for maintaining its success. The plan remains therefore to navigate through the turmoil in the short and medium term to deliver against this long term plan. As part of this, the charity accomplished a number of notable achievements and activities during 2024”
- “The charity has had to take action within the year to reduce its costs. This being paramount to ensure that we do not deplete our reserves outside of their intended purpose indefinitely. Unfortunately, this wasn't restricted to just non-pay related costs and has had an impact on staffing levels.”

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
