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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the end of the financial year, there were no issues which would affect the operations of the organisation. Whilst, as with most charities, funding is a general area of concern, the budgeting and risk management strategies of the organisation has led the trustees to confirm that there are no issues, of which they are aware, which may affect the continuation of Volunteer Cornwall for the foreseeable future. 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
- “In 2019 Volunteer Cornwall declared a "Climate Change Emergency", in recognition of the intergovernmental panel of Climate Change (IPCC) report findings and the need to reduce global emissions by 2030.”
- “Our work around the cost-of-living crisis has seen us working with both the NHS and local government to ensure that much needed funds are placed in the communities of those most in need, or to the individuals themselves.”
- “Over the last 12 months, we have had 131 new organisations, with a wide range of interests come to us to advertise volunteering opportunities and posted 322 new opportunities to the site.”
- “Launched last year, the health inequalities work is a partnership with NHS Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, and Cornwall Council Public Health providing the funding and Volunteer Cornwall providing a co-ordination and support role to the place-based partners delivering on the ground in targeted areas.”
- “Officially launching on 1st January 2025, Volunteering for Health (VfH) is a £10million national programme to demonstrate how volunteering can be a vital part of delivering health and social care now and in the future.”
- “Volunteer Cornwall is excited to announce the launch of a new campaign aimed at recruiting more volunteers across the North, East, and South regions.”
- “Team has developed across all areas of activity, securing a further award at the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Sustainability Awards, as winner of the CIOS Carbon Positive Award.”
- “Our work on banking has seen our first practice shift banks from a fossil fuel bank to a clean bank, inspiring others to consider the same.”
