Significant events
- “2025 has been a year of bold steps and meaningful progress for our charity. Successful new initiatives included the launch of a Library of Things to help with the cost-of-living crisis and support the environment; expanding our support to local and regional healthcare bodies to help shape inclusive new strategies; and broadcasting Radio Dacorum on DAB across southwest Hertfordshire.”
- “The Dragons' Apprentice Challenge is now in its twelfth year, the latest being our most successful yet - 15 teams took part and raised nearly £31,000.”
- “The Repair Shed, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, continues to go from strength to strength. Since 2015 the Shed has brought people together, particularly older men, to fix, upcycle or repair items, share practical skills, and enjoy the companionship that comes from working alongside others.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
