- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. Financial projections confirm that the Group remains a going concern without reliance on additional grant income, based on prudent assumptions.”
Significant events
- “A third grant award was unsuccessful when it came to delivery and support was withdrawn.”
- “Ocean Experiences programme has achieved record visitor numbers at the National Marine Aquarium (NMA), the highest in 20 years, following a successful BBC TV series.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
