- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Buzzacott Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees assess whether the application of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements and have concluded that as the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and for the foreseeable future there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis.”

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
