“The directors of the company have considered their obligations to prepare these financial statements on an appropriate basis. They have not identified any material uncertainty relating to going concern and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. Whilst economic uncertainties prevail, these are not considered to impact on the going concern assessment. As the activity flows directly to Barnardo's (the charity) to whom it outsources the work it delivers, the company does not hold any reserves. Looking ahead, the turnover of the company remains very strong which taken with the overall financial health of the charity, assures the directors of this position. reviewed forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026 and are confident that Barnardo Services Limited will continue to trade in this period. As the Charity also remains in good financial health, the directors are confident in their going concern assessment.”

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
