- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 groups or parent 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.”

- “The Queen's Hall secured grant funding of £60,000 from The City of Edinburgh Council for 2025-26 and it has been indicated that support will continue at that level.”
- “Backstage work, funded by the Foyle Foundation, was completed in July 2024 offering visiting artists much improved facilities which have been enthusiastically received.”

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
