Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis Our DHSC sponsor has agreed the funding arrangements for 2025/26 along with two other commercial contracts and we have a significant contract with another government department in place for 2025/26 The charity also has unrestricted charitable reserves as at 31 March 2025 which the trustees believe, together with the above, are sufficient to allow the charity to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts As a result, the trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis”

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
