“Whilst preparing these financial accounts the continued operation of the Charity has been given due consideration. On the back of the pandemic period, SAVS continues to work in an agile way with remote and homebased working embedded in our delivery. The cost of living crisis and high inflation has affected the Charity, with significant increases across our general running costs including utility bills and resources. Where available uplifts in funding or additional funds have been successfully secured to help mitigate some of the risk within this period. Therefore, these accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “SAVS awarded a new contract by Southend City Council in February 2023 to deliver infrastructure across Southend, which began in April 2023.”
- “Southend Centres for Warmth, an innovative collaborative project led by SAVS, launched in January 2024.”
- “The Navigators project commenced in March 2025.”

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
