- 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Board have been working during 2024/2025 for the planned succession of the Chief Executive Officer in March 2026, this work will continue during 2025/2026.”
- “In March 2025, a Letter of Intent was signed by Bournemouth University with Help & Care providing an informal agreement providing a basis for future collaboration, such as collaboration on research, student placements and training opportunities.”
- “In March 2025, a Memorandum of Understanding with Wessex Health Partners was signed. The Framework increases the effectiveness of both organisations through a strategic relationship, to increase collaborative research with communities to address local challenges and increase the adoption of improved health and care.”

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
