- 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 charity'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

- “Achieved £10,574,856 of income for clients supported in 2024/25.”
- “Addressed £718,182 worth of debt in 2024/25.”
- “Prevented 1,089 people with potential/actual homelessness in 2024/25.”
- “Achieved green (top score) in all 9 areas of a 3-year Leadership Assessment audit.”

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
