Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees have considered the charity's financial position, with particular focus on the £197,756 reduction in general funds to €74,685 to 31st March 2025. Despite this decrease, the trustees are confident that Gingerbread remains a going concern as cash at bank of £648,226 means we retain healthy liquidity whilst reserves recover and, following a review of Gingerbread's cost reductions and financial plans, we expect this recovery to occur in the next financial year.”

Significant events

• “As part of this transition, we made the difficult but necessary decision to close the Gingerbread Helpline in March 2025. The service, while impactful historically, was no longer financially sustainable or fit for the scale of need. In its place, we are investing in: • A self-led digital advice hub, available 24/7 • Peer-led support via our growing Gingerbread House network • Group workshops and downloadable toolkits, co-created with single parents”

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
