- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The business model of the charity is such that its charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds to support from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the charity. The charity therefore has no specific commitments and no committed costs beyond its fixed costs of operation. Regular financial updates about the charity are provided at Board meetings.”
Significant events
- “The Places Foundation grants programme funded 55 new projects in 2024/25 and supported over 17,500 people through its main grants fund.”
- “In late 2024, we provided a £40,000 grant to The Ridge in East Lothian, Scotland who work to support disadvantage individuals across Dunbar and East Linton by equipping them with skills, qualifications and work experience.”
- “The Places Foundation has been making repayable social investments since 2015 that align with its charitable objectives.”
- “The Places Foundation received £112,934.50 in funding as part of a co-funded partnership with Clarion Housing and Fusion 21 to deliver the Resilience Fund, which provides grants and capacity building support for small charities.”

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
