Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial forecasts for the next three years project that the organisation has sufficient cash and cash investments and reserves to continue to operate. The financial projections have been prepared on the basis of a number of scenarios so the organisation is prepared for different levels of potential impact with regards to risks posed by the economic environment. We have robust monitoring processes in place to ensure the organisation is able to react quickly to any downturn in income. The free reserves of the organisation are held in cash and liquid investments so they can be liquidated quickly if required. Accordingly, the trustees are of the opinion that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

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
