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 charitable company'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

• “In June 2025, we passed an extraordinary milestone: awarding over £30 million in grants since 2016.”
• “It has also been a year of leadership change. We said farewell to our CEO, David Shaw CBE, whose vision built the VF into one of the UK's fastest-growing military charities. We welcomed Jane Gurney, former CEO of Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT), as Chief Executive, alongside Stella Atherstone as our Chief Operating Officer.”
• “The Organisation will celebrate 10 years of remarkable achievements with a special event in July 2026.”

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
