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 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

• “In 2024/25, visitor numbers were slightly down on the previous year due mainly to poor weather conditions. We welcomed 47,010 visitors to the Gardens and House (-1,171 on the previous year).”
• “During this financial year the focus was placed on the development of a five-year strategy for Great Dixter and a plan for the restoration and maintenance of the house and historic buildings on the estate.”
• “A Quinquennial Survey of the house, the first of its kind to be undertaken at Great Dixter, has begun and will be completed later in 2025.”
• “Spring 2024 saw the rejuvenation of the pond dipping platform and area funded by the Fieldfenn Trust.”

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
