Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The national adoption campaign 2024/2025 had a specific focus on modern adoption, maintaining connections with birth family and celebrating each child's unique identity.”
• “We undertook a partial re-brand through development of a new more modern colour scheme and launch of a new website.”
• “A marketing group was established in March 2023. In January 2024, this group was placed under the leadership of the Trustees, who were able to provide specialist advice and support.”
• “In 2024/2025 the number of adopters approved declined as did the number of children placed.”
• “A proportion of the reserves were used in 2024/2025 to improve the Agency's offer. This included improvements to the fabric of the building in customer facing areas and investments in service development activities aimed at ensuring long-term viability for the Agency.”
• “In the year, a significant portion of money was put into a fixed term deposit for a better rate of interest.”

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
