“The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “It has been another year of challenges for the organisation which has been met with resilience and compassion in the face of the overwhelming effect the legislation on XL Bullies had on us and the wider dog rescue sector.”
- “1,771 dogs came into care; 1,012 homeless dogs have gone on to have new lives in new homes; 300 dogs were reunited with their owners; 9 litters, totalling 67 puppies were born to homeless mothers at our centres; 153 dogs were in care at the end of 2024; 242 of the dogs that came into our care were young dogs under 12 months of age.”

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
