Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Base 25 was founded in 1998, originally a predominantly young person-centred charity, that provides services, programmes and projects aimed at improving the lives of young people and their families. The charity has grown in both scope and size over the years our move to Temple Street in 2021 reflecting the increased scope and demand for our services.”
• “The Lamplight system, which has been successfully implemented and used to collect and monitor data which will be utilised across all aspects of Base 25 delivery.”
• “In times of imposed austerity combined with decreasing resources and mounting insecurities across the sectors funding opportunities the organisation currently finds itself in a position of having a deficit in its unrestricted funds to the value of £69,678.”
• “In March 2023, the board undertook their first Board Development day, facilitated by an external business coach.”
• “The service is on track to exceed its target by March 31, 2026. Communication from the central government regarding future funding has been confusing and sporadic. Based on the latest communication, we are working on the premise that the funding for this programme will cease on March 31st 2026.”

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
