“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity and its subsidiary have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The biggest challenge we faced during the year is the increase to employers' National Insurance Contributions (NIC), which, with the rise in the minimum wage increase, will impact significantly on Open Road. The impact for us is over £100,000 per annum, which we have to find to continue our work.”
- “We have expanded a 'dependence forming medication' service (DFM) into North Essex successfully receiving Public Health Accelerator Bids (PHAB) funding for this work.”
- “We expanded many of our existing services during the year and were also delighted to be awarded important new contracts.”

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
