- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “It is hard to believe that over a year has passed since our last AGM on 19 June, 2024. During this time, significant events have unfolded. We mourn the passing of our esteemed Chairman, board member, and friend, Brian Rea.”
- “In the last financial year, the Trust secured £144,525 in grants and donations, an increase of £6,821 compared to the previous year.”
- “Phase 1 and Phase 3 welcomed over 50,000 user visits during the year, reflecting positive community engagement and impact.”
- “Phase 2 is currently fully occupied with a waiting list for vacant units. Over the past year, long-term tenants moved out while existing tenants expanded by taking additional space. Notable changes include: Michael Gook from Gasline Services has retired after 17 years with us; Deborah Wheelan has passed on her business as a going concern; and We welcomed a new tenant in Unit 08: Party Balloons NI.”

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
