Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company'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

• “2024 proved to be another transformational year at the Foundation as we increased our social impact in the community and welcomed more visitors to Ainslie Park than in any other year.”
• “Looking ahead, we are excited to open our new Education & Youth Work Space in early January 2025 and to develop a new three-year strategic plan in collaboration with service users, partners, and the local community of North Edinburgh.”
• “A key highlight of 2024 was the successful expansion of our Junior Alternative School, which has already shown the transformative impact of how children can benefit from focused support in a less formal and more neutral setting.”
• “Securing significant capital funding for our new Education and Youth Work Space, set to open in 2025. This innovative facility will allow us to serve more families and young people than ever before.”
• “In early March 2024 construction of our new Education and Youth Work Space began at Spartans.”

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
