Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. The income of The Hive (restricted and unrestricted) totalled £1,327,528 whilst expenditure totalled £1,457,874 of which £111,624 was depreciation of our assets. Without depreciation the charity shows a small operational deficit. We have set a budget for 2025-26 to breakeven operationally and at the end of the first quarter are on track. Looking ahead, we are not aware of anything that causes us concern relating to the budget set. After careful analysis of the Charity's income, expenditure, unrestricted reserves, and forecasts the Trustees are confident in the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees do not have any material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a timescale of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the Trustees' Report”

Significant events

• “We were deeply saddened by the passing of Stuart Barnes, our founding CEO. Stuart was instrumental in shaping The Hive as a place of possibility, care and ambition. His legacy lives on in every programme, every conversation, and every young person who walks through our doors.”
• “We recently celebrated our 8th birthday, continuing to provide a vibrant, inclusive, and safe environment for all young people. We are Wirral's Youth Zone.”
• “Thanks to new funding from the Medicash Foundation, our Lemonade Project continued to help young people in school build emotional resilience, self-esteem and healthy relationships.”

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
