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. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The period 2024-25 was defined by building on the refreshed structure and strategy of the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation, following the death of Sir Bobby (Founder and President) in October 2023.”
• “A campaign was launched to draw attention to the frequent air-raid sirens which result in the need to take shelter in underground bunkers. SBCF raised funds for table football games to alleviate the stress caused to the children by their often-prolonged internment underground. The project has been so successful in terms of addressing the children's emotional wellbeing that FC Shakhtar are now fundraising to install table football games into all their hubs.”
• “The primary focus of 2025-26 will be fundraising: attracting corporate and individual donors and growing a stakeholder and donor database for the future. The addition of a new Trustee with event management experience will support the planned activations and campaigns.”
• “The Charity will also commit additional funding for a repeat of the successful Easter Camp trialled in 2025 and for an additional SBSR youngster to take part in the annual visit to Munich to mark the anniversary of the air crash which took so many of the Manchester United players' lives in 1958 and which Sir Bobby was fortunate to survive.”
