Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors' 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 or parent charitable 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

• “In June 2025, Positive Steps launched its new strategic plan for 2025-2028, developed through extensive consultation with stakeholders including service users, staff, and Trustees. The plan repositions our focus on organisational growth and long-term sustainability, in response to the evolving challenges across local, regional, and national contexts. These include rising levels of deprivation, increased demand for services, constrained public sector funding, and the broader impact of the cost-of-living crisis.”
• “The Tameside service was brought in house by Tameside MBC in December 2025, with the staff delivering this service transferring to Tameside MBC.”
• “As of 1st April 2023, PSO Trading Limited ceased trading and became dormant.”
• “Our trading arm, Positive Steps Trading, has ceased and remained dormant since 1st April 2023.”

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
