“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the MAT has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “This upgrade significantly enhanced the overall performance of the heating systems by allowing heat recovery from flue gases, thereby reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The new boilers also provide better control and responsiveness, improving comfort levels while lowering operational costs.”
- “In parallel, the Trust completed a comprehensive lighting modernisation project, replacing traditional fixtures with energy-efficient LED systems across offices, hallways, and exterior zones.”

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
