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 Cleft Lip and Palate Association'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

• “The year of 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 saw CLAPA complete a three-year strategy and launch an exciting new five-year plan to take us up to 2030.”
• “Adults born with a cleft attended our CLAPA adults' conference in June 2024, our first event of its kind since 2019.”
• “Children and young people were connected through our new CLAPA Companions penpal service launched in July 2024.”
• “Feature-length interviews with the cleft community published since recruiting our new content coordinator in September 2024.”
• “Our in-depth DEI review in 2025/26 will pave the way for improvements... and our renewed focus on communications and marketing will ensure we are giving everyone the chance to be involved.”
• “We are investing in a brand-new website, launching in late 2025.”

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
