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 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

• “The year began with a change of government. We published our manifesto, Time to Show We Care, with an open letter from 70 young people calling for change.”
• “Our young campaigners took their fight to decision-makers - our Gone Too Far campaign group shared their stories of distant moves with the Children's Minister and the Education Select Committee, whilst our End the Care Cliff campaigners successfully persuaded newly elected MPs to commit to change.”
• “We launched our Youth Editorial Board, with six young people busy shaping and creating content with us, published our first Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Annual Report, and strengthened our governance by recruiting new trustees who bring fresh perspectives and expertise to guide our work.”
• “Our new CEO Anela Anwar will join us on 3 November, ready to continue this vital work.”
• “In 2024/25 we saw a remarkable increase in support for our work.”

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
