- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Menzies LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “In January, we implemented CasparGov by Plianz to manage all Service User caseloads. This transformative upgrade was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Moondance Foundation.”
- “We also secured National Lottery funding to deliver a Dementia Awareness Project across South Wales.”
- “In 2025, we successfully renewed our Cyber Essentials accreditation.”
- “We were proud to secure a new contract with Cardiff Council, increasing our support capacity by 20% to serve 300 Service Users.”
- “We began a new partnership with Ceredigion Local Authority to extend our services to vulnerable adults in that region.”
- “We also welcomed eight new Trustees to our Board in 2025.”
- “A prior year adjustment of £82,606.50 has been made as it was previously understood that council funding was received quarterly in arrears.”
