- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors consider that the company can continue operating as a going concern. It places reliance on delivery of the Thera Trust Group Transformation plan which has already included, implementation of a new operational structure, and securing additional liquidity provided by a new 4.5m Invoice financing Facility. In addition Thera Trust - the parent company has decided to explore further group simplification. At the date of signing the financial statements, the details of how this simplification may take place, its timing and the implications for Forward Housing are still to be determined. The intra-group agreement remains in place and provides financial support to companies in the Group. On this basis the going concern basis of Forward Housing is satisfied.”
Significant events
- “The most significant change during the year was the sale and leaseback of 12 properties in December 2024.”
- “This was followed by the decision to sell the Devon Portfolio in April 2025.”
- “by the year-end we had completed three new developments.”
- “After the year end, in April 2025, Forward Housing has sold six of it's owned properties.”
- “On July 7th 2025, Forward Housing joined Thera Trust and other Group companies providing care and support in securing a 4.5m Group Invoice financing facility.”
- “In August 2025, the Board of Thera Trust as the parent company of the Group, decided to seek to explore the simplification of the Group Structure.”

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
