- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may case 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
- “Our founder and CEO Karen Stott retired in August 2024 after thirty years of leading Off the Record. Karen's vision determined the direction and development of our charity over the during this period and always stayed true to the original conception of a humanistic free offer of talking therapies for as many children and young people as possible. Initially the charity operated in the borough of Croydon, but in recent years extended into Merton and Sutton.”
- “In July 2024 we signed the lease on Portland House, 678 London Road, Croydon. A full renovation took place, led by our Office and Facilities Manager, supported by our Operations Manager. In September 2024 we opened Portland House, and the team of service administrators came together to function as one team under one line manager.”
- “The biggest success of 2024-25 has been the fantastic news that we were awarded the new Young Carers contract from Croydon Council and SWL ICB.”

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
