Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Geens Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“A the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

“Our initial tentative steps towards developing a third supported accommodation have gathered pace. In July 2024 we received a donation to buy an acre and a half site in Fegg Hayes, Stoke-on-Trent (North) a donation beyond our wildest dreams. We also received a tremendous offer of pro-bono support to develop plans for a 54 bed supported accommodation purpose designed for Gingerbread with the aim of securing full planning permission to build. Those plans were submitted as a part of our application for full planning permission to Stoke Council just before Christmas 2024. We await the outcome of Stoke's Planning Committee process.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
