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 date of approving these accounts the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will be able to manage the situation, and it has sufficient cash resources to enable it to meet its liabilities, as they are due, for at least 12 months from the date of approval. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
