Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, defined as a period of at least 12 months from this report's approval date. In making this assessment, the Trustees have considered the Group's financial position, budgetary projections, and any potential risks or uncertainties that could affect the Group's operations. Based on this review, the Trustees reasonably expect the Group to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the next 12 months. As a result, the Trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
