- 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 charity'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
- “Nansen Highland has operated for a number of years under a block funding agreement for the day services based at Redcastle Station which, for the year ended 31 March 2025, was for £306,245. This has enabled us to have a smoother, quicker engagement with care management to put in place care packages, and it has helped us to more accurately forecast, budget and manage our cash flow.”
- “The charity has continued to develop the SQA units available for the young adults attending the day care service at Redcastle Station.”
- “Nansen Highland also operates housing support services, whereby service users are supported within their own tenancy.”
- “Total income for the year rose from £1,077,359 to £1,129,051, with Care and accommodation fees having increased from £693,538 to £747,989 due to an increase in contractual fees. Total expenditure for the year has also increased from £1,035,584 to £1,066,810, with premises costs having risen from £32,583 to £65,035 mainly due to roof/chimney repairs at Fram House, Beauly and replacement windows having been installed at Tigh Na Cloich, Muir of Ord. The net effect of the above is that the charity achieved a larger surplus of £62,241 compared to £41,775 last year.”

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
