Going concern

Affirmed

“At 31st January 2025, the charity had net liabilities of £19,264. The Trustees recognise that this indicates that there is a material uncertainty about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have supported management throughout the year to make significant operational changes, reducing the charity's core costs and identifying new income streams which have resulted in the second half of the year returning a small surplus. This, coupled with robust financial projections, gives the Trustees confidence that the charity will be able to continue to operate as a going concern and for this reason the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Through the year we were committed to our Rep Company and the opportunity this gave us to provide job security to actors. However, it became clear through the year that the maintenance of a rep company was not financially sustainable, so, as contracts expired, we did not renew them. The reduction in headcount has been helpful financially, and we were careful to include our actors in our decisions.”

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
