Going concern

Affirmed

“As such, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the near future and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have considered the level of grant funding for 2024-25 and projected student numbers for 2025-26, together with the increases in staff costs. The Trustees are of the opinion that, the Trust has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities over the period of 12 months from the date of approval of 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
