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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Trustees have reviewed budgets and forecasts for the 12 months following the end of the reporting period which support the fact that the charity is a going concern. In addition the organisation has sufficient reserves available to meet its liabilities as they fall due and has sufficient cash and liquid reserves available to meets its needs.”
