“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. During the year, the charity secured a new twenty-year lease agreement with Medway Council, providing long-term security of tenure for the site. This significantly strengthens the charity's financial sustainability and enables the Trustees to plan and invest with confidence over the medium to long term. The Trustees have reviewed financial performance, cash flow forecasts, reserves and committed income streams. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
