“We were supported during the establishment and initial start-up phase by parent company Safe Places Australia Limited. This supporting relationship has continued throughout 2024 enabling the continued provision of finance to connected charities. Safe Places Australia Limited continues to provide Safe Places for Children Secretariat with financial support. As a result, the trustees consider that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
