Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Sumer Auditco Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On reviewing DHI's budgets and business plan, taking account of the current economic climate and its reserves position, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, we lost the Bristol ROADS and the BANES drug and alcohol treatment contracts through competitive tendering against large national treatment providers. We are sad to be unable to deliver these services from the 1 April 2025.”
- “DHI marked its 25th anniversary in November 2024, with a photography and impact exhibition which toured Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath, where we also held an event where we welcomed partners, funders, clients, and staff to celebrate our achievements.”
- “During the 2024/25 financial year there continued to be growth despite the difficult financial climate charities operate in. We were delighted to have secured a new partnership and long term contract to deliver Treatment Services in South Gloucestershire as well as the contract to deliver employment support for treatment providers across South Gloucestershire, Bath NES, and North Somerset.”

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
