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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The 2024-25 financial year required us to make some of the most difficult decisions in our charity's history. The closure of Bell View Care (one of our two trading subsidiaries that support the charity's work) in February 2025 was not taken lightly, but declining client numbers and mounting financial losses left us with no choice. However, what followed demonstrates the resilience and innovation that defines our organisation.”
• “Within a month, we had successfully launched Home From Home as a new service within our Bell View Help at Home trading subsidiary. This wasn't just about maintaining services - it was about creating a more sustainable model that could serve our community for years to come.”
• “We saw substantial transitions at the top of our organisation with the departures of CEO Barry Lyden, Executive Advisor Ann Gibbons, and my predecessor as Chair, Martin McMahon. Following these changes, the Board took this opportunity to streamline our structure and reduce overheads while maintaining service excellence.”
• “Our decision not to replace the CEO role reflects our confidence in the collaborative management team led by Juliet Short, Charlie Wadsworth and Cat Wood. This approach has already proven effective and positions us well for the future.”

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
