Going concern

Affirmed

“Planning for future festivals remains challenging in light of the inflationary environment and the consequent macro-economic uncertainties, but the directors of Chalke History Festivals Limited and the Trustees are mindful of ensuring that the Trust's and Chalke History Festivals Limited's resources are deployed prudently to ensure the longevity of the important cultural institutions that the Chalke History Festivals have become and to ensure that the objects of the trust are fulfilled. The trustees have been encouraged by the success of the festivals operated in 2024 and the potential to attract larger audiences and a wider sponsor base in the future. In view of the support of our donors and the prudent level of financial reserves in the Trust, the trustees are confident that the Trust and the wider group can continue to operate as 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
