Going concern

Affirmed

“Sound and Music has Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation funding committed until March 2026. Extension for 2026/27 has been confirmed, awaiting information about the level of funding. At time of signing (September 2025) the combination of confirmed NPO funding until March 2026, and reserves at above target level, means that Trustees foresee no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the signing of these accounts.”

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
