- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees believe that, whilst uncertainty exists, this does not pose a material uncertainty that would cast doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Subsidiaries
- Soldiers' Trading Limited · 100% held · England and Wales · raise money for the Charity through the online shop and commercial partnerships.
Significant events
- “During 2024, the nation commemorated the 80th anniversary of D Day; and we also celebrated the 80th anniversary of the founding of the ABF.”
- “Our 80th anniversary year was one of continuity and change. We said farewell to Warrant Officer Class One Paul Carney...”
- “Our board has seen the appointment of three new trustees, George Culmer, Caitlin Hayden, and Anna Sedgley, appointed through open competition, and who joined us in August 2024.”
- “The 24/25 financial year saw the Charity spending some £9.2m in benevolence, supporting over 80,000 members of the Army family in 52 countries around the world.”
- “receipt this year of a highly significant and generous legacy of nearly £25m has reinforced our financial reserve such as to afford the charity the opportunity to take a genuinely considered approach to a number of issues.”
