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

Significant events
- “2024/2025 has been a deeply encouraging year for House Church. Leadership transitions are rarely simple, but the arrival of Adam and Hannah Heather in the summer of 2024 has been a blessing. The congregation has responded incredibly well, and we're seeing signs of life and renewed energy across every area of church life.”
- “Church attendance has grown by around 20%, we've had the joy of baptising 23 people, and we've launched a growing network of smaller community groups. There are now over 20 of these groups meeting regularly, with 160 people engaged and building deeper relationships.”
- “Our next generation ministries are also thriving. On average, around 75 children under 11 attend our Sunday groups. We were especially pleased to open a new dedicated room to better support children with additional needs-something we've prayed about for a long time.”
- “Through our compassion ministries, we remain committed to serving those in need within our local community. Over the past year, our foodbank provided 2,564 parcels-including 1,107 specifically for children. During our Christmas initiative, we distributed 450 hampers and gifts, and our CAP Money Coaching has supported 25 people in managing their finances more effectively.”

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
