- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As required, the Trustees have reviewed the Trust as a 'going concern' for the next 12 months, and have concluded that this is the case. This review looked at a number of factors including: the legacy pipeline of notifications and anticipated income; the fact that senior management review income and expenditure and cash-flow forecasts on a regular basis; and that the Trust has sufficient free reserves to cover a short-term decrease in income.”

Significant events
- “On the 30 June 2025 the Charity had been notified of 9 residuary legacies (2024: 11) with a total estimated value of £1.056 million (2024: £1.096 million). These legacies do not satisfy the criteria relating to the probability and/or reliable estimate required by our accounting policy to recognise the income during the year. They are therefore disclosed here as a contingent asset.”

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
