Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries and considering the above points, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The year has again been exceptionally challenging in ensuring the stability and provision of care to the residents. The issues with funding from the authorities who place residents into our care has continued.”
• “The pressures around the recruitment and retention of staff have eased during this year with the turnover of staff being much improved but nevertheless some newly appointed staff members continue to leave after a short period of time.”
• “During the last year the recruitment and retention of staff has seen a marked improvement with the Society's staff turnover stabilising and is now much lower than has been experienced in prior years and has provided a consistent staff base allowing the enhanced care which is our normal level of service.”
• “The pay increases to all staff included meeting the National Living Wage of 6.73% with incremental increases for all staff. Extra support has been provided with counselling and support available to all staff from Health Assured.”
• “During the year the Society experienced an increase in cash reserves compared with previous financial years as it increased by £417,152 to £1,476,964 by the end of the financial year.”
• “The Trustees considered the greatest risk at beginning of the financial year was that of the increases in expenditure due to increases in food costs, utilities, and salaries with insufficient increases in funding from authorities.”
• “The appointment of the Head of Care/Registered Manager in May 2025 aimed to ensure legal compliance and be responsible for the recently introduced changes in monitoring from the CQC by way of the Single Assessment Framework and will ensure that the requirements of the CQC are met but unfortunately, the postholder resigned after only 4 months in post.”

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
