- 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. 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
- “Over the course of 2024/25 we had 11 directors overseeing Four Square (Scotland).”
- “In April 2025 the building was put up for sale putting any opportunity to extend our-lease-at-risk: We have secured a 20 year lease with the new owners.”
- “The charitable company purchased a new property on 7th July 2025 for £1.47 million. This building will house our expanded "No. 20 service" following the notice to quit 20 Broughton Place in August 2025.”

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
