- Auditor
- Moore (South) LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group and the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. This assessment has been made following a review of budgets prepared for the next twelve months, current performance and cashflow modelling that maintain the trustees' position that the group continues to be a going concern.”

- “On 17th April 2025, the charity purchased Ashey station and associated buildings and land to the north for £675,000.”
- “On 18th February 2025, the charity entered into a contract to construct a new playground for £59,390.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, the charity initiated a restructuring process. The process is ongoing and, at this stage, it is not possible to provide a reliable estimate of the financial effect.”

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
