Going concern

Material uncertainty disclosed

“Based on the work we have performed we have identified material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast 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 statement are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “In June 2021 we purchased Yare House, a large commercial building consisting of a three-story brick office block, warehouse, workshop, and ancillary rooms set in 1.20 acres.”
• “During mid 2025 we launched the One Voice Group which is made up of our members as stakeholders to the business and charity.”
• “In January 2025 we implemented a new income strategy focused on shifting to traded income and away from a reliance on appeals and fundraising from charitable trusts.”
• “To deal with this increasingly difficult financial position, the Centre 81 Trustees took the decision to place the office block on the market in January 2025.”
• “Phase 1 has been completed this year, it has been a difficult process to ensure the building is fully complaint and to pick up the elements of the works left unfinished when funding ran out.”
• “The solar panels, inverters, and batteries were switched on 14th February and the charity has seen large savings in energy costs since that date.”
• “Diana Staines MBE left the organisation in December 2024 and Alison Holmes joined Centre 81 as Chief Executive on 4th November, 2024.”

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
