- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Perennial has sufficient financial strength (as at 1 June 2025, the value of investments was £61m) to cover annual operating expenditure of circa £5-6m for the foreseeable future and remain able to meet its debts as they fall due throughout this period. Due to pressure on income and a likely increase in demand from service users, the Trustees will utilise up to £2m of reserves in 2025 in order to maintain services at current levels. Cash will be drawn down from investments to support working capital.”

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
