Going concern

Affirmed

“The board has thoroughly assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, including a major review in July 2025 for financial plans to 2030. We have considered a wide spectrum of internal and external risks, operational plans, budgets, and financial forecasts including cash-flow and the reserves.”

Significant events

• “Prof Isabelle Szmigin, Chair of the Board of Trustees, died unexpectedly from a stroke.”
• “Major changes to the UK Government following the General Election in July 2024.”
• “In April 2025 the charity moved its head office to a new rented office at Unit 7, Finsbury Business Centre Clerkenwell... and on 30 May 2025 the charity's registered office address was also changed.”
• “The 27 Swinton Street, London, WC1X 9NW property has undergone a scheme of refurbishment which completed in early August 2025. The property was put on the market for sale at £1.9m or for lease at £117,996 p.a.”

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
