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

“The trustees are unconcerned by the surplus level held at 31st March 2024 given that in addition to the above, allowing for income fluctuations, the trustees plan to commit substantial funds to raise further awareness of brain tumours and in collaborations with The Brain Tumour Charity and other cancer charities to fund UK paediatric clinical trials.”
Significant events
- “In February 2024 our trustees campaigned at Parliament, together with our charity partners as part of a collaboration to form The National Brain Tumour Strategy.”
