Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Murray Smith LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “We are delighted to have raised £1,955,909 (including £300,515 of match funding) in new donations and been able to award 239 grants, totalling £2,415,459.”
- “Whilst 2024 saw us welcome a new CEO in Melanie Sproston, it also saw Margaret Cheshire step down as Chief Operating Officer (COO), after almost five years in the role.”
- “In 2024, we experienced another growth in donations from corporate partners, alongside continued support from our longstanding donors. Notably, at least eight new donors chose to support the Foundation, and several previous donors reconnected with us after a hiatus.”
- “in the latter part of 2024 we opted to diversify by moving our discretionary endowments into Rathbones' Core Investment Fund for Charities and which recorded small gains in the short period up to year end.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
