Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The last year has been one of significant challenge but great success for Groundwork UK. We have extended some major funding programmes delivering a wide range of impacts in local communities, successfully completed a number of funded initiatives which have generated considerable learning and built exciting new relationships which will strengthen our ability to meet the needs of our beneficiaries.”
• “2024/25 saw the completion of several major grant programmes delivered on behalf of central government.”
• “The year also saw the culmination of New to Nature, our joint initiative with the National Lottery Heritage Fund to help nearly 100 young people from under-represented backgrounds to benefit from a year's work experience with a nature organisation.”

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
