- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. The directors have also taken into consideration the potential impact on the charity of possible future scenarios arising from high inflation levels, general economic conditions, and the tendering process for future contracts. Forecast future cash flows have been prepared taking into account the future contracts and funding in place. Based on these assessments, which cover at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. and having regard to the resources available to the charity company, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Effective from June 2024, ADA became the lead third sector agency for 'Assertive Outreach' (multidisciplinary emergency response 'hub' model) taking oversight of this initiative within Aberdeen City.”
- “there was a security breach in January 2025 that needed to be reported to the Police (cyber-crime team) and has been managed effectively without any undue disruption to the business.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
