Going concern

Affirmed

“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 charity'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. The two properties currently owned by the charity are in the process of being sold with the expectation that this will reduce the pressures of maintaining and financing these properties, whilst also providing a cash injection into the charity. The charity's main contract which was due to finish at the end of June 2025 has now been extended to January 2027 and is currently under bidding process for the primary provider to the Home Office. There is an expectation for the bidding process to be completed by March 2026 with the anticipated mobilisation of the new contract to start in the summer of 2026. The trustees are confident that the charity can continue as a going concern both throughout the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.”

Significant events

• “In 2024/25 we supported 1,385 survivors through our National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and post NRM provision and continued to deliver effective added value support through our running of the Bright Future matching service following the launch of its new online recruitment platform and our extended material assistance programme Life Supply.”
• “The planned implementation of the previous Government's Rwanda Bill causing many survivors to choose to opt out of support for fear of deportation, the riots and civil unrest through the summer months where we were forced to respond in earnest to protect our staff and service users alike and a change in government that brought with it a new approach by the Home Office to managing the backlog within the decision making process around the NRM.”
• “Uncertainty around Policing budgets in the North West led to the pause of Merseyside Deferred Prosecution Scheme and the cease of the Immediate Justice Pilot in the October of 2024.”
• “The change in government brought with it significant financial impact for the charity sector including ourselves. The Chancellor's decision in the Autumn to increase Employers' National Insurance contributions and the uncertainty the budget shared placed on public sector commissioning budgets, led to us not only losing two of our Crime Reduction contracts representing significant income to us but also facing a significant increase in our core overheads that could not be contained.”
• “Due to these financial impacts, we were forced to review the scale of our workforce and our overhead expenditure and put in place an efficiencies programme to address the resultant deficit. This not only meant job losses but also a need to rethink the planned Strategic plan objectives and a rescope of what could be achieved and what should be the focus of the forthcoming three-year period.”
• “2024/25 saw Causeway achieve some key milestones and face some significant challenges.”
• “We launched and delivered several exciting digital projects including a refresh of our website, the launch of our online help and advice hub and its supporting Modern Slavery Risk Checker and our online ordering system for Life Supply creating equity and dignity of choice for survivors accessing our material assistance support programme.”
