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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Institute has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In September 2024 the Institute moved into Woolf Institute, a building completed in 2018 on the site of Westminster College.”
- “The Institute has made substantial progress across its strategic priorities during 2024-2025, demonstrating growth in diversity, financial sustainability, and programmatic innovation.”
- “The Institute formally relocated a second time from Wesley House to Woolf Institute in early September 2024. The move has given the institute medium-term security as the lease is for an initial 15-year period.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
