- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.”
Significant events
- “During 2025 we oversaw 95 safeguarding cases (up from 76 in 2024), where our team had identified a young person as being at significant risk of harm or abuse - in each case ensuring that the young person got the support they needed whether from Creative Youth Network or other agencies.”
- “In the final quarter of 2025 Creative Youth Network made an optional early repayment of £100,000, in addition to keeping up with all scheduled payments. This was part of a strategy to minimise borrowing costs, reflecting strong cashflow following completion of the Courts capital project.”
