Significant events
- “For 2024-2025 due to external financial pressures St Edward's School was unable to provide the residential facilities for ArtsLab residential projects free of charge. The Trust was unable to deliver its Easter and Summer programmes for early-career artists.”

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
