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 company ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “2024 proved to be a transformative year for us as we recruited and prepared to welcome our new Chief Executive, Rhodri Samuel, at the start of 2025.”
• “achieved remarkable legacy and fundraising success, enabling our charity to intervene in the shocking case of 13 equines from the 'Family Nest Therapy CIC' in another exemplary multi-agency rescue collaboration.”
• “In December Storm Darragh caused significant disruption at all of our sanctuary sites, damaging structures, felling trees, and cutting power.”
• “We surpassed our £35,000 crowdfunding target to purchase a new horsebox for transporting rescued horses and ponies.”
• “2024 marked a significant milestone for The Mare and Foal Sanctuary as it became a Real Living Wage employer, accredited by The Living Wage Foundation.”

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
