- 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 group and parent 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.”

- “Delivered largest summer holiday programme to date, including three HAF programmes in South Leeds, one in Wakefield and first OWL programme in Wakefield.”
- “Leeds City Council commissioned Groundwork to produce a baseline BNG audit of all their 65 community parks.”
- “Partnered with Yorkshire Water to deliver an innovative water management programme installing leaky water butts in Ilkley.”
- “Groundwork Yorkshire Limited was appointed sole trustee of Leeman Road Millennium Green Trust (charity number: 1077557) after the year end, with net assets of £492,828.”

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
