“The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024 the trustees agreed in principle to grant the Royal Artillery Museum Limited (RAML) £4M in support of the museum building project which is estimated to cost £13M. Funding for this will be split as follows: RAML - to provide £4M; RA Charities - to provide a grant of £4M; Fundraising - to deliver £5M. This is a 6-year project (2024-2029).”
- “The Royal Artillery Association to promote its activities and objects has seen a significant increase in membership from both the serving and retired elements of the Regimental Family. There are now 86 Branches which include traditional geographical locations and newly formed national interest groups such as Motorcyclists, e-sports, Angling etc. Current active membership is circa 3500 which is an increase of 1500 over the past two years.”

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
