Significant events

• “In 2024 we made grants of almost 500k, and in 2025 the budget is 550k. It is expected to climb to 1m by 2028.”
• “The Building Safety Act 2022, which came into effect on April 6, 2024, establishes a new framework for building safety in England... This has significant consequences for the development programme... In early 2025 a full submission was made to the BSR Regulator, which was successfully validated.”
• “Ms Susan Price, the Welfare Officer, retired at the end of 2024. After a review of staffing requirements, a new job description was defined for a new Member Services Officer. A recruitment exercise was conducted in February and Ms Jillian Jones joined the charity in March 2025.”
• “As several trustees are due to retire at the end of 2025, a recruitment exercise was conducted, and six new trustees will be appointed at the 2025 AGM.”

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
