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

“The trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern period and they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their annual statements.”
Significant events
- “In June 2025, the Board agreed the to settle its loan with NatWest and to dispose of its Laverstoke House investment property, the sale of which completed in September 2025. Therefore, the basis of valuation of the property was changed from an investment property valued with reference to future earnings, to a market valuation based upon the agreed consideration of £3.5m. This resulted in a loss on investment properties in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenditure.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
