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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Allen Sykes Audit Limited

“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
- “A highlight of the year was in November 2024 when we were notified we had been awarded The King's Award for Voluntary Service by King Charles.”
- “The second huge achievement was purchasing and moving into our newly refurbished building in Spennymoor in October 2024. This was made possible by two amazing legacies from Geoffrey Stanley Walker and Silvia Dobinson.”
- “The third great achievement was to win the Investors in Environment Silver award in September 2024.”
- “We have continued to develop our digital offer whilst keeping the face-to-face contact for vulnerable Carers who need this most. Website visits grew to over 4,200 per month in the year. Our Facebook reach is now 12,697 per month and our Facebook Carer forum now has 750 members.”
- “Finally, we are continuing to develop our digital offer and reach and will be launching a virtual Carer Centre funded by Durham County Council in 2025 and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform funded by Carers Trust during the year.”
