- 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
- “We continued to provide long-term supported accommodation in three Edinburgh city centre locations, Thorntree Street which is a home for former street drinkers, Thorntree Mill, providing settled accommodation for younger men who were homeless and have addictions, particularly, poly drug use and Stramullion which provides temporary accommodation for homeless women who are vulnerable. We also take this opportunity to review our new service. Birkentree House opened in Autumn 2024 initially providing support to eight women with long term needs of care, support and a safe place to live. More recently, Birkentree House extended its offer to a further five women.”
- “Furthermore, Rowan Alba increased its service provision following a successful bid for three temporary accommodation services; Broomhouse, Crewe Road Gardens and Fusion in Pilton. This has increased the numbers of people we can support from 29 to 86.”
- “We were delighted to receive a grant from CAF Keystone Fund which allowed us to significantly develop and strengthen our organisation to improve future sustainability in line with our strategic plan. We were able to complete an organisational re-brand, highlighting 'Community and Connection.' We have successfully integrated 4 new accommodation services through partnership development and a re-designed management structure, including settled homes for women with experience of violence.”

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
