- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue its operations. With having a single source of income, the Directors remain confident in the resilience of the subscription model of People's Postcode Lottery to protect the Trust income. In the event of a substantial change in circumstances significantly reducing revenue, the Trust holds sufficient cash reserves to ensure it can continue operations for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Practical Action launched an innovative pilot project, aiming to holistically address critical issues faced by refugees in Rwanda's Mahama refugee camp. The project aimed to increase food security and provide sustainable livelihoods to smallholder farmers through regenerative agriculture and solar-powered irrigation systems.”
- “The Trust intends to fund supported charities during 2025, increasing the award levels many of them will receive and potentially funding a few one-off awards.”

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
