- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In 2024/25, we supported more babies, children and young people than ever before. We deepened our work with families, delivering record levels of clinical and holistic care, and expanding services that respond to families' needs - from bereavement support and creative therapies to transition care for young adults.”
- “This year, we purchased a second lodge in the wonderful coastal setting of Mersea Island and built 'The Cabin', a brand-new counselling space.”
- “Noah's Ark was rated 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission in April 2023.”
- “Our Family Link Team won 'Team of the Year' at the 2024 Hospice UK Awards.”
- “In 2024/25, our fundraising efforts raised £4.8 million, with a 924% increase in legacy gifts.”
- “The Stavros Niarchos Foundation generously donated £40,000 towards Specialist Play, bringing their total support to £100,000.”
- “We launched our fully redesigned and rebuilt website in May 2025, improving accessibility and introducing tailored content.”
- “The charity introduced several meaningful enhancements to staff benefits, including Carers Leave, Enhanced Family Leave, and Miscarriage Leave.”
