- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared a going concern assessment, based on consideration of cash flow forecasts, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements (the going concern assessment period), taking account of a number of severe but plausible downside scenarios. In forming their view the Directors have taken into consideration that Sanctuary Housing Association, the Company's ultimate parent, has provided a letter of support to the Directors of the Company to confirm that it intends, should the need arise, to provide financial and/or other support to the Company, including, if required, not seeking repayment of amounts currently made available (note 9 - £47,000 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £13,000)), for the period covered by the forecasts. Based on these considerations it has been concluded that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period of assessment.”
Significant events
- “The Directors approve a gift aid payment of £30,000 for the current year (2024: £7,000). The increase in profit for the year was a result of fewer empty properties through the year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
