- 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 or the parent charitable company'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.”
Group structure
- THE HEPWORTH WAKEFIELD · parent
- The Hepworth Wakefield Enterprises Limited 100%
- The Hepworth Wakefield Garden Trust Limited
Significant events
- “Despite having no budget for acquisitions, a notable achievement of this year has been continuing to strategically grow Wakefield's art collection, adding outstanding works for generations to enjoy.”
- “Our Garden Studio and gallery store have been through an extended planning process and have finally been granted permission, so we will be forging ahead with those projects to ensure they are delivered within the tight timescale required in the funding agreement.”

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
