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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered financial forecasts for the next twelve months which take into account expenditure expected to be incurred in order to continue the development and improvement plan for the Charity. Key to this is the assumption that core funding will remain at historic levels. The charity is actively exploring multi-year funding from our core funders along with additional income from other sources, moving forward. On this basis the directors are confident that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
