- 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 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
- “The UK General Election in July 2024 set a new direction for the country, the creative industries, and our organisation.”
- “Financial Year 24/25 saw our Policy and Research team continue to strengthen our convening power - developing rich connections within the new UK Labour Government and actively strengthening our engagement across multiple departments in Whitehall.”
- “Our activity this year was wide-reaching, including the launch of our manifesto, the delivery of our pre-election hustings, the organisation of the first ever Cultural and Creative Industries Pavilion at the Labour Party Conference '24 and the publication of key papers including Unleashing Creativity and Forging Freelance Futures.”
- “In January, we launched a new campaign Create Diversity.”
