Significant events
- “Governance issues were keenly debated in the first half of the year, with a very impressive 80% turn-out for the key vote on proposed changes to the Charity's constitution. The members confirmed, by a large majority, their support for the retention of society voting rights and therefore maintaining the existing structure as a membership organisation.”
- “The new Board reviewed the progress of the project after taking office in August 2024 and concluded that we could not justify further investment in the product.”
- “The Chief Executive until his resignation effective 23 August 2024 was Florian Schweizer, and Ian Arnold was appointed as Acting Chief Executive on 14 November 2024, before being confirmed as permanent Chief Executive on 13 March 2025.”

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
