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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorized for issue.”

Significant events

• “We held a record-breaking Leadership Race, holding onto our crown as the UK's largest student vote with 13,493 students casting 106,611 ballots, an impressive 27.09% - an all-time record for UCL.”
• “We secured agreement for the Students' Union to take over the management of the Bloomsbury Theatre, to provide a real home for student arts activity on our Bloomsbury Campus.”
• “Our Advice Service has supported 1,801 students in need this year, helping individuals with a range of challenging circumstances such as academic appeals, housing issues and financial support.”
• “We introduced zero-carbon coffee in all of our cafes, via our partnership with Volcano Coffee Works, the first SU in the country to do so.”

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
