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

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the Trustees consider that there are sufficient reserves as at 31 March 2025 to manage any foreseeable downturn in the UK and global economies and there is a reasonable expectation the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence at least until the completion of 'spending out' in FY 2031/32. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the 'going concern' basis in preparing the accounts.”
