Significant events
- “PAPYRUS had a good year in 2024-25. Our planned growth to reach the parts of the UK that hitherto we had often been unable to, our long-standing aim to have a 24/7 helpline and our desire to grow our volunteering offer were our three key goals for this and the previous year. The first and second of these three were achieved.”

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
