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

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to the events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issues.”

Significant events

• “The Charity's full name is Community Foundation North East changing its name from Community Foundation serving Tyne & Wear and Northumberland on 16 September 2025.”
• “2024-25 was the final year of the Community Foundation North East's strategy to 2025.”
• “In March 2025 the Board agreed a new strategy which sets out our vision for a North East where everyone can be part of thriving, generous and inclusive communities. The strategy describes how we will use our resources towards our mission, based on evidence, experience and listening to communities. It is, subject to review each year, designed to take up to at least 2028 when we will mark our 40th anniversary. The strategy also saw the adoption of a refreshed identity as Community Foundation North East. While our roots are firmly in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland, our new name recognises that our donors, funding and research cover a wider area.”
