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 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.”

Significant events

• “During the year the Trust worked in collaboration with NIAB and in line with its charitable objective, grants and support costs were awarded totalling £555k. This was broken down into £57k support for the Wine Innovation Centre capital equipment, £200k Director's award grant, £105k grant for PACE MAPP-CS project and £193k rent gifted back.”
• “Land, surplus to research requirements, was identified on the estate for housing in line with the TMBC local plan process. A site, surplus to research requirements, is in the process of assessment and a planning submission has been submitted during the year 2024/2025 with a view to bringing forward in 2025/2026. Any capital receipts likely will be reinvested into the Trusts assets.”

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
