- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The overall accounts show total funds of £36,309,000 (2024: £35,835,000). The Trust is confident that it can meet contributions from projected future income without significant impact on its planned levels of charitable activity during the next 12 months. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
