Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- Hill Vellacott
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “The past twelve months has seen a number of changes to the staff of Belfast City Mission. In June 2024 Mr George Lunn retired after 38 years of service. In September 2024 two new men were appointed to the staff.”
- “Two halls which closed a couple of years ago are in the process of being sold. Canton Street has had an offer accepted and the deal should be completed in the near future.”
- “With an increase in numbers of refugees and asylum seekers our missionaries have been able to help them settle into the city. Helping to complete forms and source furniture in part of the missionary's daily work load. The provision of English classes is a vital tool of getting to know people.”
- “Food is always a great means of helping those who are lonely or vulnerable. Many of the halls provide lunches and coffee morning. One hall has opened a café on a Thursday which has been a great success in engaging with the local community.”

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
