Going concern

Affirmed

“As stated under risk management, John Studzinski is committed to providing sufficient donations to meet the expenditure and liabilities of the Foundation as they fall due and, on this basis, the Foundation is considered to be a going concern. The trustees have concluded that, there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “A landmark was reached in Spring 2024 with the staging at the Almeida of Alma Mater by Kendall Feaver, who had been a member of Cohort One of the programme: it became the first play by a Genesis Almeida writer to reach the theatre's mainstage.”
• “In March 2024, 1536 (set during the reign of Henry VIII and examining three women's responses to the arrest of Anne Boleyn) won her the $25,000 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize – the largest and oldest award for women+ playwrights in English-speaking theatre.”

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
