| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -28.8% | -6.8% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 44.8% | 51.7% | |

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Henderson Loggie LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees and management consider this achievable taking account of the funding applications already made and in course.”
Significant events
- “Completed a project with ProjectChange to upskill our staff on how we record and support people with care experience in our work; Led and completed research for the Welsh Government on improving wellbeing and educational outcomes for children who experience a parent's imprisonment.”
- “The Connecting Families team was developing work towards one-to-one befriending support, which would expand opportunities for peer support further - work that had to be suspended by the end of the year due to the financial need to restructure that significantly reduced staff capacity.”
- “Families Outside ended the year with a deficit of £87,308, which compares with a deficit of £323,776 for the previous 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
