- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable group to continue as a going concern. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable group has adequate resources to continue to settle its debts as they fall due for the future. The charitable group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In the year under review the trustees again took advantage of the higher interest rates to increase the Foundation's ownership of high-quality corporate bonds and government-backed securities, resulting in better returns being generated with a low risk profile.”
- “Last year the trustees purchased the outstanding 50% interest in the long leasehold property at 24 Old Burlington Street, London W1. Its wholly owned subsidiary Margin Finance Corporation Ltd has owned a 50% interest since the inception of the Foundation in 2011.”
- “A new grant for the Oxford Prostate Chair, amounting to £865,000, replaced a previous commitment of £250,000, and is payable over a 5-year period in equal amounts of £173,000 per annum.”
