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.

Significant events

• “A key development this year was the introduction of the Admiral Nurse Service in Scotland, a specialist programme designed to assist members of the Armed Forces community and their families living with dementia.”
• “The Lady Haig Poppy Factory transferred all activities to its parent company, The Earl Haig Fund Scotland, on the 30 September 2023.”
• “The Group pension deficit increased from £1,361k to £1,400k due to the actual investment return achieved on the assets being lower than that required to match the expected change in the defined benefit obligation over the year; and expenses over the year being higher than the contributions paid to cover these.”
• “Poppyscotland is aware of the 2023 ruling in the Virgin Media vs NTL Pension Trustee case and subsequent court of appeal ruling published in July 2024. These ruled that certain amendments made to the NTL Pension Plan were invalid because they were not accompanied by the correct actuarial confirmation. Poppyscotland understands that the Trustees of Stanplan F have received legal advice that this may have an impact on Stanplan F.”
• “On 18 January 2025 the transfer of assets and liabilities of the defined benefit pension scheme (full details of the scheme in note 14) Stanplan F (Earl Haig Fund, 'EH Fund'), into the parent entity The Royal British Legion's Staff Pension Fund (DB Fund) was completed.”
