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 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

• “Over the past year, demand for our services has grown considerably. We have seamlessly supported 8,276 clients (8,165 in 23-24) with 39,071 issues (38,624 in 23-24), securing £9,822,936 of client gains (£9.9 million in 23-24). We have helped to address £8.6 million of unmanageable debt for our clients (£7.5m in 23-24).”
• “During the year, our volunteers delivered a phenomenal commitment of 5,531.5 hours of support. This is a reduction on the previous year's 7,900 hours due to the volunteers mainly retiring after many years of giving or moving in to paid employment.”
• “We successfully completed our reaccreditation of Type 2 and 3 of the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers.”
• “New premises in Dumfries that are suitable for delivering an effective, efficient and inclusive service to our clients, staff and volunteers have been identified and a lease signed from 1 January 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
