“Financial sustainability continues to be a critical issue for the care sector. The long shadow cast by the Covid 19 pandemic, particularly on occupancy recovery, the current social care staffing crisis, the energy and cost of living crisis have increased the risks. Our strong financial position mitigates the financial risk but as part of our assessment, the long term strategic objectives identifies that the Charity will continue to focus on the financial sustainability of the organisation. The focus being on occupancy rates, recruitment and retention and efficiency savings. As we move into 2025/2026 the Charity has undertaken a review of financial scenarios and sensitivity analysis to take into account the financial impact of the cost of living crisis and the energy crisis within the budget forecasts. The Trustees have reviewed our financial position and financial forecasts, taking into account the assumptions underlying those forecasts and the impact for the potential risks affecting them. As a result of this review, the Trustees therefore consider that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due. As a consequence, they continue to support the going concern basis in accounting in preparing the annual accounts.”

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
