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

- Affirmed
“The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The funding uncertainty may have an impact on future revenue and costs but continual review of our financial position, reserves levels and future plans give Trustees confidence the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future (being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approving these financial statements).”

Significant events
- “taken steps to separate the Trading Company staff from the charity. A major benefit from doing this is that it frees the Trading Company up to develop, acquire or launch new commercial companies.”
- “Our new vision of "Every Person Matters" is a strong statement of intent but it sends a clear message that we intend to make sure that nobody is denied the ability to benefit from our award-winning services when they need it most.”
