Significant events
- “In August 2024, an Employment Tribunal passed down a judgment against the Trust in favour of a former employee for inter alia constructive dismissal. The Trust is appealing the judgement on the grounds that errors of law were made in reaching it. That appeal is yet to be heard. Depending upon the result of the appeal, damages, the extent of which cannot yet be accurately determined, may or may not be payable by the Trust.”

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
