“The Trustees have considered the principal risks facing the charity and the Group over the year, including a review of income and expenditure forecasts for each of its meetings. The Group has a strong cash position and is primarily driven by strong performance from park operations and regularly reviews its forecasts. The Trustees have considered the principal risks to the charity, but do not consider there to be any material uncertainties affecting the charity’s ability to continue to operate for at least a year from the date of signature of these accounts.”

Significant events
- “This year has seen us gain significant momentum in delivering our strategy. We are now at the midpoint of our ambitious, five-year programme of change, delivering at pace and scale across all areas.”
- “This year's achievements have taken place against a backdrop of increased economic uncertainty, ongoing climate change and very visible effects of climate change... The appointment process for the new Chair is approaching... The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) decision to disband their dedicated police unit in November 2025...”
- “In 2023-24, 6,000 guests from under-served communities... accessed Winter Wishes events...”
- “On 5 May 2025, thousands lined The Mall and Constitution Hill for the largest ever civilian and military flypast... Air craft took part in a dramatic RAF flypast over Buckingham Palace... On 8 May, Horse Guards Parade took centre stage for the national commemoration of the end of the war.”
- “This year has been a challenging one, with extraordinary operational impacts from the two-day closure of Hyde Park Winter Wonderland due to heavy rainfall this year.”
- “This was another record-breaking year for the Royal Parks Half Marathon and Royal Parks Foundation Challenge fundraiser, which takes in four of London's royal parks... The 2024 ballot saw the highest number of entries ever recorded... 16,000 runners.”

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
