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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of signing the accounts, the Trustees have considered the going concern position and judge that the charity will continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts due to the level of funding already secured with its key partners. At the balance sheet date the charity held significant cash balances. The charity has reserves which are sufficient to absorb short-term in-period deficits if required. The financial forecasts prepared by the executive team show that the charity will be able to operate within the facilities available to it. On that basis the Trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
