- Williamson & Croft Audit Ltd
- 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
- “Lots of firsts throughout the year: Christine's new car means she's more mobile, Andrew performing on stage for the first time, Paul went to watch the snooker live, Eve saw her favourite band (AC-DC, if you're interested), Laura cooked her own food for the first time, and Joe starting bouldering.”
- “In January 2025 we launched Options new brand. Our new brand is a culmination of 18 months of work, created between people we support, their families, our staff and stakeholders. It reflects our beliefs, our values and our character as people and as an organisation.”
- “Trustees are committed to investing organisational reserves in new fundraising and partnership arrangements, and to promote recruitment and retention throughout 2025/26.”

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
