“At 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.”

- “In 2024/25, we supported 1,258 individuals who were recorded as sleeping rough in the Liverpool City Region on one or more occasions - 227 more than the previous year, representing a 22% increase.”
- “In December 2024, The Whitechapel Centre reopened the 30-person Night Assessment Hub in Liverpool to respond to the surge in people presenting as newly homeless during the winter months.”

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
