“We aim, however, to achieve a sustainable operating surplus as early as possible in the next few years and have no hesitation in preparing the accounts for this period on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Following successful completion of the complicated merger outlined in our 2023-24 report, this period included the first full year of combined operations and some significant investments aimed at positioning the charity for the more sustainable future envisioned by its four predecessor societies.”
- “We have reluctantly been forced to conclude that the investment required to ensure continued regulatory compliance in Berwick until our longer-term aspirations could be delivered would not represent a reasonable investment of our charitable resources.”
- “The care services at Berwick have ceased since the period end and the property is currently listed for sale.”

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
