- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “2024 saw the departure of long-standing Board members to make way for a new generation of Trustees as part of our diversification programme.”
- “In 2024 we visited all 9 Battalions in their respective homes and attended Family Days and Health Fairs to become more visible to our beneficiaries.”
- “The Charity holds an account portfolio with Sarasin & Partners. Our investments with the Blackrock Armed Forces Income and Growth Fund were closed in 2024 and funds were transferred into our Sarasin & Partners portfolio.”
- “In 2024, the Board of Trustees decided to pause our contribution to the REME Arkwright Scholarship in order to fully evaluate its impact and value for money in 2025.”

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
