Significant events
- “In the Summer of 2024, the Trustees entered into discussions with fellow Veterans charity, Royal Star and Garter on closer cooperation between the two charities. In November 2024, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with both charities agreeing to work towards creating an expanded Royal Star and Garter group of four care homes.”
- “In March 2025, CfV signed an Integration Agreement with Royal Star and Garter creating a group operating four care homes (High Wycombe, Solihull, Surbiton, and Worthing). Within the group, CfV will remain a separate charity with Royal Star and Garter as its sole member. This Integration will come into effect on 31st March 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
