- Affirmed
“The Trustees believe that the Charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that, based on the Charity's assessment of the feasibility of future plans up to December 2028, including a revised pricing structure, current and future sources of funding or support will be sufficient and available for the Charity's needs.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year-end, the charity received a strategic funding grant from the Congregation to support its 5-year strategy, the majority of which is a restricted fund in relation to much needed capital expenditure during the next few years. The balance of the funding will underpin our strategy to further develop the much needed services we provide and indeed accelerate some of our plans. Due to commercial sensitivity, the financial quantum is not disclosed, but the Trustees consider the impact to be materially positive.”

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
