Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and are confident in its financial sustainability. While the charity currently has significant concentration risk with heavy reliance on Vision Support Trading income, our strong reserves position and active strategy to diversify funding sources through strategic grant applications support this assessment. In the 12 months to 31 March 2025, due to a significant reduction in volumes from a major customer, the going concern of Vision Support has been reassessed. In order to mitigate the fall in turnover from this customer, staff restructuring has taken place, and as a result the company is considered to be a going concern at the balance sheet signing date.”

Significant events

• “At the end of the financial year, we witnessed some of the volatility in Vision Support Trading, seeing a quick change in one of the contracts resulting unfortunately in a significant number of redundancies being made at the trading subsidiary.”
• “a redundancy commitment of £156,391 has been made in Vision Support. The significant reduction in volumes from a major customer at the year-end resulted in Vision Support Trading Limited's board concluding that a restructuring/redundancy program was required. This was formally announced to staff on 31 March 2025 and the program complete by 28th April 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
