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

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.”

Significant events

• “2024 was a landmark year for the Preservation Trust for two main reasons: firstly the start of construction work on the Museum Redevelopment Project and secondly Trust membership broke through the 500 barrier.”
• “The Museum closed at the end of 2023 and did not reopen in January other than to allow staff and volunteers to pack up the contents of the Museum to be decanted to the Cameron Store and to our temporary office at the NE Fife Hub at the East Sands prior to restoration work on the existing Museum, which started in March.”
• “By December Trust membership had increased markedly to 512, a level not reached for many years.”
• “The Winter Talks started in January with a blockbuster when Mairi Shiels spoke to an audience of well over 100 about the Tay Bridge Disaster.”
• “On 23rd June a beautiful summer's day greeted the many visitors to our ten immaculate Hidden Gardens. It was wonderful to have three gardens on show for the first time. This is such a widely popular event with visitors coming from far and wide to help boost the net takings to £5,211, a modest increase on last year.”
• “AGM on 15th August, which was well attended and ran smoothly.”
• “in September, we opened the Bogward Doocot to the public as part of Fife's Doors Open Day. People are always curious to see inside a building that has 800 nesting boxes built into its walls and it is important that the Trust not only continues to maintain these buildings, but also allows access to the public, even if only occasionally.”
• “Then on 22nd September we returned to June Baxter's garden at 46 South Street for the Autumn Fair. Although it was a fairly chilly day, there were over 200 visitors to purchase from the various stalls, enjoy tea, coffee and cakes, and listen to a student ukelele band. The event raised about £2,000 for the Museum.”
