- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of signing the accounts, the Trustees consider that The Charity will continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. This is due to the level of business generation, income and funding secured with key partners. The Charity continues to hold significant cash reserves. Although the charity held negative unrestricted reserves as at the balance sheet date, the charity has significant designated reserves and the current business plan contains an expectation that the unrestricted reserves will revert to a positive balance by 31st August 2025. The latest forecast to 31st August 2025 indicates that the charity will be able to operate within the facilities available to it over this time period. On that basis the Trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
