Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The 16th International People and Plant Symposium, that Thrive co-convened in the Summer of 2024. We were pleased to welcome delegates from around the world. The proceedings will soon be published, further building the evidence base for STH.”
• “launched new targeted programmes at all three centres over the last year, enabling even more people to benefit from our services. Additionally, thanks to generous funding from the Peter Sowerby Foundation, we launched Cultivating Wellbeing, an innovative new digital health application, which will support people to improve their health through gardening.”
• “In the coming year we plan to launch a new Continuing Professional Development service, recognising the need to provide more ongoing support to those we have trained.”
• “We launched a new pilot outreach programme in a mental health secure unit in Birmingham, which is already showing positive response. A new Garden Explorers programme has been started in Reading, enabling us to work with young people with SEND during the school holidays.”
• “Following the development of our new Sanctuary Garden in London, we have been able to launch a new dementia programme, called Garden Tyme.”

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
