Going concern

Affirmed

“WSUP's business operations have been impacted by the downturn in the UK and world economy, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruption for various materials, significant increases in inflation, turbulence in the foreign exchange market, and continued lack of UK government support for overseas development. Given this context, we continue to develop robust contingency plans to ensure we can continue to function in a stable and sustainable way throughout the 2025-2030 Business Plan period.”

• “WSUP's direct work in our core countries, combined with the influence of our Advisory services, created a substantial impact. We successfully reached 984,951 people with improved water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities, services, or education.”
• “Our new 5-year Strategic Plan was launched in March 2025 following wide-ranging internal and external consultation. The Plan sets WSUP's strategic direction to 2030 and aims to consolidate and apply key learning from WSUP's 20 years of programming.”

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
