- Audit opinion

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate inquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year the Charity made progress in a number of areas, which included the realisation of many benefits from the relocation to new premises at Marbury House for the Short Breaks Service and the Children and Family Centre”
- “the Supported Living Service encountered a number of significant operational problems.”
- “Following a Care Quality Commission ("CQC") inspection of the Supported Living Service which commenced on 23rd June 2025 and after discussions with the local authority commissioner of these services, Stockport Metropolitan Council, it was decided that the contracts for this service would terminate and would subsequently be delivered by other providers from 1st December 2025.”
- “majority of the Supported Living Service employees transferred to new providers (under Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE") and a small number of other employees who worked in related roles were made redundant.”
- “The consequence of the loss of Supported Living Service contracts was a significant loss of income and a reduction in profitability of the Charity.”
- “restructuring was successfully completed in March 2026 and has resulted in a significantly streamlined organisation with a new management team and a smaller Board of trustees.”
- “CQC inspection of the Short Breaks Service in January 2026 resulted in the award of a "Good" rating and endorses the view of the Trustees and management Team that this highly valuable service is safe, well-led, and provides compassionate, high-quality care.”
