Audit & accounting basis

- Mitchell Charlesworth (Audit) Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Imagine made an overall deficit of £106,946 in 2024/25 (compared to a deficit of £230,662 in 2023/24).”
- “A further deficit in 2024/25, it is broadly as budgeted and reflects the increased turbulence across the health and social care sector.”
- “Contingent liabilities continue to be an issue, which are a matter of discussion between Imagine and the Pensions Trust. The deficit is small and represents a technical deficit only, with no immediate prospect of a call on charitable funds to supplement the Pension Trust's assets.”
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
