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

- “We saw the launch of our Community Market at our central location in Cambridge and the rolling out of the same model in our other locations.”
- “planning permission for a permanent home in Bury St Edmunds was refused yet we were pleased to still see growth within the congregation.”
