- 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 Charity'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
- “The Charity launched two new careers for its dogs in 2024 to help more people affected by disability.”
- “The Charity opened its waiting lists for the first time in 5 years to some of these careers.”
- “The Charity will celebrate its 35th year and make its 1000th Partnership in 2025.”
- “The CEO, Alex Lochrane, retired in December 2024, and Lucy Eldred was appointed as interim CEO.”
- “During 2024, the Charity adopted a new constitution, formally adopted at the AGM on 9th May 2024.”
- “The Southern Training Centre, held within 'Freehold Buildings', is due to be sold within the first half of the year post year end.”

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
