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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 2.1% | 0.4% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 23.5% | 16.7% | |
| Current ratio | 1.68x | 2.09x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Significant events
- “ILP was a founding partner of the 5 original Well-being Hubs in Plymouth during 2018-19 and then the Well-Being Hubs Network in 2022 working with Plymouth City Council Public Health Team. The Network has now grown to a partnership of 12 hubs and 10 organisations.”
- “We retained the externally accredited Cyber Essentials Security Plus accreditation to enhance our digital and cyber security.”
- “Our Veterans have been awarded £100k over 3 years for continuing to support Veteran Carers from the Armed Forces Covenant Trust.”
