“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “During the 2024-25 financial year the charity sustained all of its services, extended its breadth of provision and, of necessity, explored efficiency savings to achieve a financially viable way forward.”
- “From 1st April 2024 Enable Ability took over the running of a specialist play scheme at Riverside School in Crookhorn (funded via Hampshire County Council's Short Breaks Contract), delivering projects during the Easter and Summer holiday periods. As well as providing a valuable service for primary school aged children, it enabled the charity to develop an excellent partnership with a Hampshire-based school that has ultimately led to further funding being made available to ensure continuity into 2025-26.”
- “Midway through the financial year we were required to put together a tender for our Adult Befriending Service as a part of an 'Open Framework Agreement for the provision of Day Opportunity Services within Portsmouth'. As one of the providers to have successfully secured a contract we have since been able to regularise our referrals, charging and invoicing system for the service so that it is now more cost-effective and runs a lot more efficiently.”
- “The most innovative of these was a 'Fire Walk' which took place at Portsmouth's Rugby Club in late August; despite the high costs associated with the hire of a registered event provider, the charity raised almost £3,000 (and without any injuries!).”
- “During November the 'Children in Need' filming crew came to our Saturday Club at Morelands Primary School to capture highlights of one of the projects that they fund; the footage was broadcast on 'Children in Need' day as one of the key features for the region and our thanks go to one of our parents who closed the clip by saying that 'it takes a village to bring up a child with a disability and you couldn't ask for a better village than Enable Ability'.”

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
