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

Significant events
- “The charity sector continued to face a significant financial squeeze in 2024, with increasing operational costs, reduced funding, and a sharp rise in service demand. 86% of charities have seen an increase in demand for services, while 88% expect demand for their services to continue to rise.”
- “2024 saw an increase in the Trust's philanthropy across all areas. Matched funding, offered to Wates Group employees, rose to a record high, with a 36% increase on 2023. Awards to support employee volunteering, support to their chosen local organisations and to employees competing in national sporting forums all saw an increase.”
- “In 2024, WFET secured £115,000 from Porticus to support an Inclusive Education Collective Lead, based in WFET to work with others to form a hub for key information and connections for those working to common outcomes for whole child development.”
