Significant events
- “ATD managed five properties owned by Abbeyfield Living Society, which were taken back following the end of a management contract on the 31st March 2025.”
- “Sir Francis Crossley Almshouses (SFCA) joined our portfolio of almshouses on the 1st April 2024 expanding our geographical footprint and cemented our presence in Calderdale.”
- “ATD were invited to take management of another almshouse, Thompson Jowett Memorial Homes, on behalf of their Trustees.”
- “The decision was made by the residents of Abbeyfield Lodge (Ilkley) Ltd to close the limited company and join ATD's portfolio to benefit from wider operational support and cost savings. This change happened on 1st April 2025”
- “Abbeyfield Living Society issued notice to ATD to terminate our lease agreement and take back the 5 managed properties from 1st April 2025. This unexpected development necessitated a broader restructuring of the organisation.”
- “6 roles were made redundant, and a further valued colleague took the opportunity to retire. The staff whose roles were made redundant left us within the final quarter of the current financial year.”
- “On the 13th August 2024, the Abbeyfield Living Society... gave notice they are taking back the running of the services in the 5 properties they own, and that Abbeyfield the Dales managed since 2016. The transfer took effect on 1st April 2025, and all operations, staff and residents living and working in those properties transferred on that date.”
- “Abbeyfield The Dales seeks to grow and expand its presence in its heartland, and took on the management of a small local almshouse.”

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
