- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In June 2024, the commercial subsidiary, Raspberry Pi Ltd., was successfully listed on the London Stock Exchange, securing future growth and impact for the Foundation and the commercial company. The listing generated an endowment to support the Foundation's global strategy.”
- “The group underwent a restructuring in May 2024, whereby Raspberry Pi Limited became a fully owned subsidiary of Raspberry Pi Holdings plc. On 11 June 2024, Raspberry Pi Holdings plc was listed on the London Stock Exchange, and the Group holding was reduced to 46.7%, with Raspberry Pi Holdings plc classified as an associate thereafter.”

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
