Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on these actions and demonstrated community support, the Trustees conclude that the going concern basis remains appropriate for preparing these financial statements, while acknowledging the ongoing need for careful financial management and diversified funding development.”

Significant events

• “The first three quarters of 2024-25 brought significant recognition for our work. We won the Community Organisation Award for Multi-Strand at the 2024 National Diversity Awards and the Award for Excellence: Strategic Projects from the Cheshire Community Foundation for our Lighthouse project.”
• “In January 2025, we faced an immediate funding crisis when notice was given of the withdrawal of funding to our adult and child survivor support services. This necessitated redundancy consultations while we launched an emergency public appeal.”
• “The community response was extraordinary. In ten weeks, we raised £471,000 of the £500,000 needed through support from individuals, businesses, trusts, and a renewed safe accommodation agreement with the local authority.”

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
