Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- McGroarty McCafferty & Company
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 charitable 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
- “In May 2024 the SEEN outdoor exhibition gave a voice to asylum-seeking children through art.”
- “We also secured much needed capital equipment support from both NI Screen and Arts Council which was used to upgrade our music and film resources.”
- “Nerve Centre was also announced as part of a consortium, Immersive Arts UK, that will support over 200 UK based artists and organisations to explore the creative potential of virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies.”
- “As the year closed Nerve Centre announced 10 Northern Ireland-based artists and collectives had secured funding through the inaugural round of Immersive Arts, a new UK-wide programme supporting bold and inclusive immersive storytelling.”
- “In the last few months of the year we showcased the work of our NI Now project with a showcase exhibition and launched a project toolkit and Alumni from our NI Screen Academies, they received nominations at Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards 2025.”
- “We launched our participation in a new Shared Ireland supported project, Isle Of Song, while at the same time screening films at the Disappear Hear Film Festival which had been created as part of another Shared Ireland project.”
- “We also secured development funding for a new project with Oliver which would launch in 2025.”
- “November was our busiest month of the year as Nerve Centre also delivered the Our Stories festival as part of Belfast 2024.”

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
