- 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
- “The Foundation delivered the planned de-registration of one residential care home during the reporting period.”
- “Board-approved investment to expand classroom capacity and to develop new adult day service premises strengthened the Foundation's ability to respond to demand and support future growth in education and health and wellbeing services.”
- “The previously reported de-registration of the out-of-date residential care facility, Chipchase House, was completed in line with the target closure date of July 2025.”
- “The Foundation signed a lease for a new day service centre located in North Shields; operations at this location will go live in early 2025-26.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
