Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will be able to continue as a going concern. In arriving at this conclusion, the Trustees have taken account of current and anticipated financial performance in the current economic conditions, and the Charity's reserves position. The Trustees have also considered the level of fixed expenditure of the Charity and how many times this is covered by the value of the investments and there are no material uncertainties. The majority of unrestricted expenditure relates to fundraising activities which is a controllable cost by its nature. For these reasons, the going concern basis continues to be adopted in the preparation of the Charity's financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In 2024, the final three flats were sold. As a result the charity no longer has an interest in any residential property.”
• “In 2024 five bursaries of £5,000 each per year of study were awarded to students undertaking courses with relevance to the meat trade.”
• “The Board sold the final three flats held by the Charity in one transaction during the year for £510,000 (£489,932 after costs). This resulted in a loss of £110,068.”

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
