- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees/Directors are satisfied that the organisation has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern in the next 12 months. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “We were deeply disappointed by the recent decision from the Department of Health and Social Care not to continue funding the Think Ahead programme for the 2026 Cohort and beyond. While our 2025 Cohort will go ahead as planned, the withdrawal of this support poses significant challenges for our future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
