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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The year began on a very positive note as we received our Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) report, which rated us as Excellent across all their measures - Wellbeing, Care and Support, and Leadership and Management. Everyone at Seren was extremely proud of this outcome, as it placed us among the best providers in all of Wales.”
- “We saw further growth within our Care provision, particularly in Domiciliary Care, as we gained a couple of new houses in our area and supported one of our individuals to move.”
- “The Gardens now supply plants, vegetables, eggs, and firewood, with plans to expand the range over time. Following the addition of a beehive, we expect the bees to become fully established before we begin extracting honey for sale, ensuring this is done sustainably and without harming the colony.”
- “We successfully tendered for a Town Council contract to maintain public green spaces, creating valuable new opportunities for our individuals.”
- “We were extremely proud to win the CLAS Award for 'Community-Managed Green Space' from Social Farms and Gardens this year.”
- “Seren was nominated and won the Employer of the Year category, sponsored by Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol through Grwp Llandrillo-Menai, for our support of bilingual staff. We also received a Prestige Award for ". Non-Profit Organisation of the Year- Disability". for the second year.”
- “Towards the end of the financial year, we focused on renovating all the bedrooms, particularly those on the first floor.”
- “We would like to continue to grow our domiciliary provision in our area Dwyfor and Meirionydd Areas - should opportunities arise and also our day care provision.”
- “During late 2025, we consulted internally with the Management Team, Board Members and also internal staff. The aim during 2026 is to consult externally and to seek funding to realise our areas of major investment.”
- “2026 is an important year for Seren, representing 30 years since we started offering a provision for Adults with a Learning/Physical Disability. We hope to recognise this milestone with regular celebrations throughout the year.”
- “The company has been awarded a direct award contract to provide care for an individual requiring emergency placement.”
- “Seren also successfully secured a tender for a new supported living scheme late 2024 which was due to commence in early 2025. However there were significant delays with property snagging lists. Seren finally received the keys to the property late November 2025 with a view to finally welcoming the new tenants in January 2026.”
- “During 2025, one of our supported living arrangement contracts came to an end having identified that this provision no longer remained viable for the individual who required a different level of care.”
- “In the meantime, we have successfully secured a tender for another supported living scheme late 2025 and also hope to commence this arrangement in early 2026.”
