Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors believe that the likelihood of the pension deficit in the accounts crystalizing is remote, and without this deficit the Trust is solvent. For this reason, the Directors believe that the Trust continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
