Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The recent Ofsted inspection of Together for Children Sunderland Limited (TfC), which took place in January 2025, confirmed that children's services in Sunderland continue to be 'outstanding'. The Ofsted report, published on 11 March 2025, highlights the exceptional work being done by TfC in supporting and protecting children and young people in families or those experiencing care.”
• “A significant pressure on the Early Help budget in 2024/25 has been the cost of remand beds for young people under investigation for serious crimes. This year the required beds cost £455,000 against an income from the Ministry of Justice of £43,000.”
• “Greenway Lodge Children's Home opened in 2024 and Marlow Drive in 2025 to further increase internal residential capacity.”

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
