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 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

• “2024-25 was a challenging year, marked by continuing budget cuts under Section 114 oversight and other statutory sector commissioning, the cost of living crisis, and increased demand for services.”
• “For the first time, we were forced to turn women away from our Early Intervention Hub due to lack of capacity.”
• “Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) referrals continued to rise, with a total increase of 15% in 2024-25 compared to 2023-24.”
• “We were recommissioned by Birmingham City Council to deliver refuge provision, helpline, and outreach services (with reduced funding).”
• “Funding was secured for one year supporting refuge project work, HUB and specialist children's work to take us into 2025-26.”
• “The Early Intervention Partnership with West Midlands Police was established, leading to involvement in the national launch of Raneem's Law.”

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
