“The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements... Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Trustees were saddened to learn of the sudden death of Robert Willis, Dean Emeritus of Canterbury in October 2024. Dean Robert was the Dean of Canterbury for 22 years until 2023. He was a trustee and a strong supporter of this charity throughout this time.”

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
