“The Trustees have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties which would cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue operating for the foreseeable future. This assessment has considered the charity's current financial position, projected cash flows, and the principal risks and uncertainties it faces, including those associated with the strategic priorities for 2025-26.”

Significant events

• “In the past year, Freeways has successfully integrated two new services into the charity - one in Bristol and one in Portishead - both previously managed by Mencap.”
• “A notable success story of 2024-25 was the partnership work between Freeways (primarily the Positive Behaviour Support team), our main landlord, BNSSG Integrated Care Board (ICB), and NHS England (NHSE). This successful partnership has resulted in an 85% reduction of incidents in the first month where the individual uses behaviour to communicate distress.”
• “Key plans for 2025-26 include: The closure of Kenneth House, Relocation into the new Whites Service, An increase in our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) service offerings, A strategic review of our hydrotherapy and Day Services to ensure they remain aligned with the changing needs of those we support”

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
