- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Fellowship celebrated 85 years of Fellowship in 2024 with a zoom member meeting and various regional events.”
- “The Optimal Clinical Pathway for Polio Survivors was launched in March 2024.”
- “A new partnership with the Neurology Academy was launched to highlight the need for better care for polio survivors.”
- “A very successful National Indoor Games was held in Leicester in March.”

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
