- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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.”
Significant events
- “During the year we also successfully delivered an office move, agreeing a ten-year lease and relocating in Spring 2025 to secure a high-quality working environment and long-term security without increasing costs.”
- “In 2025 we undertook a full review of our reserves planning using a zero- based method identifying the financial impact of key risks in addition to a smaller working capital element.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
