Significant events

• “The major risks during the period were the financial and operational performance due to the growing impact of inflation, the cost-of-living crisis, and the ongoing war in Ukraine; specifically causing increases to cost of materials, a more competitive fundraising environment, rising costs and utilities and reduction in customer confidence.”
• “During 2024/25, we continued to be heavily impacted by the rise in utility costs and usage and the increase in demand for our support services specifically.”
• “A new Family Hubs contract was agreed with BCP at the start of the 2024 financial year, which meant that our funding reduced by 50% and a number of staff had to be made redundant or chose to move on.”

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
