Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
On 31 March 2026 the charity transferred its trade and net assets to its parent charity The Royal British Legion. As the trustees do not have charitable plans following the transfer of trade and assets the charity has become inactive, meaning the trustees do not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts and thus these accounts have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern.
