  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The Trustees have decided that the charitable purposes for which the charity was set up would be best served by spinning out all of the projects which are currently fiscally sponsored by EV UK. It is therefore expected that EV UK will eventually wind down in 2026 or beyond. For this reason, the financial statements are prepared on a basis other than a going concern.

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
