- MHA Audit Services LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. Our evaluation of the Trustees' assessment of the entity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included critical reviews of budgets and forecasts provided. 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 charitable company'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
- “early in 2025, we merged two of our regions as part of several changes designed better to align our resources with our mission.”
- “our new Resources Centre went live in January 2025.”
- “experiencing significant challenges in July 2024 due to our primary distributor entering administration”
- “Contractual reorganisation costs of £81,000 were incurred during the year... relating to the organisational restructuring, including redundancy and termination payments.”
- “A review was undertaken during the year to assess whether a triggering event had occurred due to structural damage in the National Office building. It was concluded that an impairment adjustment of £247,000 was necessary, which reflects the costs of remedial works to resolve the issue.”

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
