Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The charity's forecasts and projections show that the charity should be able to operate within its current working capital resources. The Charity has considerable financial resources and the Trustees believe it is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries and after having reviewed the Charity's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In November 2024, Making Space acquired the building from which they deliver their Palmyra Mental Health Residential Service.”
- “In March 2025, Making Space was awarded the Bronze Social Value Quality Mark (SVQM) – one of the UK's most rigorous accreditations for organisations committed to making a positive difference.”

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
