Significant events
- “Last year was a milestone year as NECA reached its 50th anniversary and this year we have pushed on into the future with confidence.”
- “During the year all headquarters staff were relocated into Clasper House after several years of operating a split site with Derwent Point.”
- “The last time NECA was inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) was in Darlington in 2019 and the service was rated as outstanding. This year CQC was engaged by GambleAware to carry out a full inspection and assessment of NECA's gambling service even though the service is not a regulated service.”

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
