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

“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.”
Significant events
- “Sadly, we have to report that this has been an extremely critical year. As with last years, this has been one of the most demanding years ever.”
- “Our new cattery boarding facility is ready to be licensed for 15 cats. This will enable us to fund the rescued cats.”
- “The new animal ambulance has also proven to be an asset.”
- “In the last financial year, Moss Cottage Retreat had a complete refurbishment and this proved beneficial to the staff who use the facilities. Moss Cottage is a very successful boarding business.”
- “The new rabbit unit mentioned last year is now up and running.”
- “We have a concrete path around the meadow and woodland. This enables the staff to use it all year and for the dogs to enjoy the freedom to run.”
- “We sought the help of an agriculture drainage specialist, who was able to excavate to provide a ditch for the water to run into.”
- “There has been a change with our donkeys, sadly we lost Paddy & Jacko. Rollo our remaining donkey needed a companion, and so we rescued a female donkey, Tiffany.”
- “We completed the projects we planned last year. The projects in hand are a new block of kennels to give additional accommodation for dogs that urgently need to come in from the dog pounds after serving 7 days.”
