- “Our ability to continue to deliver vital services in the context of reductions in public sector funding for non-statutory work with children, young people and families.”
- “Increased reliance on short-term contracts.”
- “Safeguarding, considering the vulnerable children, young people and families with whom we work.”
- “Rent arrears open us up to the risk of not securing income we are owed for services delivered and represent a risk of eviction for young people and families.”

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
