- Affirmed
“The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity and Group has adequate resources, including a Group cash balance of £137,322 and liquid investments of £51,079,418, that are sufficient to cover its committed grants, undrawn commitments and limited cost base. Furthermore, the entity does not have any external debt and therefore has no repayment obligations and as such can continue in operation for at least the next twelve months. For this reason, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The Foundation has conducted a strategic review of its activities with the help of an external consultancy, BCG, which has resulted in a revised strategy that has been undertaken in September 2025.”
- “In September 2024, the Trustees welcomed Victoria Potter to manage the Foundation as its Director, on a day-to-day basis, who is employed by the Foundation.”
- “In July 2025, Rohan Haldea stood down as CEO but remains a Trustee and Gabriele Cipparrone joined as CEO and a Trustee.”
- “Post year end, the shareholders of Apax Global Alpha Ltd approved a transaction which provided shareholders with a choice of selling their shares at a premium to the share price immediately before the announcement of this offer or by exchanging their shares for shares in an unlisted vehicle which would continue to carry on a similar business to that previously undertaken by Apax Global Alpha Ltd.”

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
