- “During the year the Trustees held a meeting to discuss the Trust's long-term strategy and the legacy of the Trust. The Trustees made the decision that the Trust would continue for a limited number of years following Lady Hamlyn's passing.”

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
