- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the 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's and parent 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
- “This year saw the start of the new three-year service level agreement, through the Single Infrastructure Grant (SIG) that part funds our core VCS Infrastructure support services, such as the volunteer centre, communications and engagement, as well as the critical small group development support.”
- “April 2024 saw the start of the new three-year tender for the new Rotherham Social Prescribing Service (SPS).”
- “The overall annual SPS agreement value was reduced, and an additional pathway was added.”
- “We saw the opening of other 'pathways' adopting a 'social prescribing approach. As part of a South Yorkshire pilot, we saw a Social Prescribing pathway for stroke patients.”
- “Bullding on previous work that VAR co-ordinated across Rotherham and other areas, we were successful in securing further funding relating to raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer in target communities.”
- “During this year, our partnership Flux work (Arts Council England, Creative People and Places -CPP Progarmme) has continued with accelerated delivery.”
- “The Flux funding was originally to March 2025 and our partnership application for the extension year 25-26 was successful. 2025 has continued to be an incredibly busy year for Flux, including the submission of our partnership bid to extend Flux work for years 2026-2029.”
- “24/25 saw a dedicated 'Prevention and Early' intervention grants programme, administered by VAR.”
- “This year also saw the ending of our agreement to employ Link Workers on behalf of the Primary Care Network (PCN).”
- “This year also saw VAR securing resources as part of the Community Recovery Fund and Community Cohesion and Resilience Progarmme.”
- “From the prior year, total income increased by just short of £358k. This is due to some restricted funding being paid in advance in March 2025 and will be spent in 2025/26.”

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
