Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. ... we have not identified material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The context we operate in remained volatile - more reports were published on the ongoing challenging environment for our economy and public services.”
• “We therefore ended the year with a deficit.”
• “Our Low Intensity Management of Autism service is no longer funded from statutory sources, but we have had the benefit of a grant making trust seeing the value of this support and it is continuing.”
• “In January we celebrated our General Manager, Peter Stanley's 25 years at Aldingbourne and wished him well in his retirement.”
• “We have welcomed Alicia Gooderson, as our first Chief Operating Officer. Alicia's experience with logistics and retail is reshaping our strategy.”
• “Prevention support: My Network & My Network Plus services came to the end of the contract in June.”
• “We increased our own disability employment rate to 14.4%.”
• “We developed an educational programme and opened a children's role play area - Cherry Tree Village, opening young minds to nature and rural activities.”
• “At the Country Centre we saw the wettest spring in 38 years (32% above average), a "cool and unsettled" summer and a wet autumn.”
• “We had a break in at MAKE, where the whole safe was cut out and taken.”
• “We also had a theft at the Country Centre, when a number of donated power tools were stolen.”

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
