Significant events
- “The election was the defining feature of the year, with lots of work on preparation for government in the run-up to the election and on training for new MPs, ministers and private office staff and select committee members following the change of government.”
- “The 2024-25 financial year was a very busy and successful period for our devolution programme.”
- “A provision of £180,000 was created in 2024-25, to sit alongside an existing designated fund of £250,000 to provide financial security against future significant one-off costs associated with the exit from 2 Carlton Gardens.”
- “The project to renovate 16-18 Old Queen Street is a major focus of management attention. This building is intended to be the long-term home of the Institute and it is essential that the investment provide the facilities and resources required for the Institute's work in the coming decade.”
- “On 31 January 2025, the Institute entered into a three-year lease at peppercorn rent for a property at 16-18 Old Queen St owned by The Gatsby Foundation. The building will be re-furbished and, once complete, the Institute will move its operations there after the expiry of the lease at Carlton Gardens.”

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
