Significant events

• “In 2024, the Charity worked more closely than ever with a whole range of stakeholders across the Civil Service, forging stronger relationships with Government People Group, others in Cabinet Office alongside many departments and staff networks.”
• “The Charity's very own Civil Service Mental Health and Wellbeing Conference in October was once again a huge success, improving on the year before.”
• “In September 2024, I was pleased to welcome our new CEO, Jonathan Freeman, MBE who is steadfastly leading the Charity with some great initiatives planned across the year ahead.”
• “In 2024, we reduced our budget forecast for grants and support and adapted our policy to ensure that we did not diminish our help numbers or impact.”
• “In terms of trends, payments for disability were high in the first two quarters of 2024 and settled down in the last two.”
• “However we have noticed a lessening of local authority support which will be reviewed in 2025 as charities cannot be seen as the primary source of financial support.”
• “At £3.0m, regular contributions are down £0.2m on the previous year, following the pattern of decline.”

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
