“The Trustees have made an assessment of the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date on which the financial statements were approved for release. As a result of our assessment, we consider that the charity is able to continue to operate as a going concern and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “In 2023, work resumed in Afghanistan but more heavily restricted than previously meaning our partner has been unable to continue some of its work. BMS continues to work alongside the European Baptist Federation in response to the war in Ukraine and Thimar, Lebanon in response to the situation in the Middle East. BMS does not receive funding from government organisations and has not been directly impacted by the suspension of USAID funding.”

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
