- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In the year under review, the Charity's activities have continued to be directed to meet the need of those people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or are otherwise affected through drug, alcohol or other homeless-related problems. These activities have continued across the Greater Manchester region and North West Wales region where demand for our services has continued to increase, and where our response has both adapted and expanded, whilst being faced with a continuing pressure from the funding challenges placed on many of our key stakeholder funders. This expansion has particularly been seen in North West Wales with new services being provided in our traditional locations and with traditional services being provided in new locations. Our Greater Manchester provision has also grown with new services being provided in the communities that we are well known in.”
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. 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
