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

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 charitable company'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

• “At the end of my first year as the Chair of Trustees, it gives me great pleasure to share the highlights of 2024/25. It was both a challenging and a rewarding year for everyone at BLGC. Adapting to the changing needs and requests from the young people and families we support.”
• “Our current plan is due to be refreshed for 2026 and this will be a priority for Trustees and the Senior Team during the coming year.”
• “Our Targeted Youth Services (TYS) have continued to perform well, exceeding our contract requirements, reaching more young people than before and surpassing the expectations of both commissioners and parents.”
• “In 2024/25 we delivered a Bereavement Service, Thrive and a Counselling Service. Additionally, Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) and Family Time have been delivered successfully. In January of 2025 we welcomed two Trainee Children & Young People's Wellbeing Practitioners working in partnership with the NHS.”
• “2023 was a year of highs and lows, the relaunch of our main centre (Infinity) took longer than we had hoped and cost more than expected, impacting our free reserves.”
• “In 2024 a vast amount of work was completed, scoping opportunities for the Charity to diversify it's income through commercial services, including Alternative Provision Education, Residential Care Homes and chargeable Counselling Services.”
