- 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. 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 group's or parent 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
- “The past year has been one of significant change and considerable challenge. Disabled Living has faced the combined effects of rising economic pressures, cuts to health and social care budgets, and a national shortage of occupational therapists. These external factors had a direct impact across our services, resulting in a year-end deficit of £372,000.”
- “Hilight, our innovative digital assessment tool developed with £400,000 of UKRI funding, progressed to the market development stage during 2023-24. Although no sales were achieved this year, we prepared two customer models - single-use credits for assessments, and bespoke integration within organisations' systems. Significant investment in legal, marketing, and development (£125,000) ensured that Hilight is market-ready, positioning us for future adoption.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
