Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Although uncertainty surrounding inflation and energy pricing past 31 March 2025 remains, the Charity has produced forecasts that indicate the Charitable Company will remain able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Board is confident that no material uncertainty exists that would put doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern and has therefore produced the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
