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

“Trustees are confident that L&W continues to operate on a going concern basis. The organisation is in control of its annual income and expenditure and enters 2025-26 having already secured a significant proportion of the income required for the year ahead.”
Significant events
- “New Government adopted our calls for an 80% employment rate ambition and Youth Guarantee so all young people are offered help to find a job, training place or apprenticeship.”
- “Secured funding from DWP and Youth Futures Foundation for our flagship Jobs Plus trials, testing new ways to help social housing tenants into work.”
- “Adult Participation in Learning Survey showed a record one in two adults took part in some form of learning in the last three years, driven by self-directed and informal learning.”
- “Lifelong Learning Week took place from 4 to 8 November 2024. During the week, we published the 28th edition of our annual Adult Participation in Learning Survey.”
- “In its 28th year, our Adult Participation in Learning Survey showed that, after a decade of decline during the 2010s, participation in learning has risen for the third year in a row.”
- “Ahead of the election in July 2024, we published Aiming high: An 80% employment rate and how to deliver it, which called for a UK employment rate of 80% to be achieved through extending employment support.”
- “We received around 811 pieces of media coverage in 2024-25 for our campaigns and unique research and analysis. This is a 45% increase on the previous year.”
