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 | 2022-03-31 | 2023-03-31 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | — | -52.1% | -7.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | 2.1% | 4.2% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | 48.41x | 23.69x |
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.

“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
- “CAN's core grant funding from BCP Council came to an end in October 2023. We successfully bid for a new contract over 5 years starting October 2023. However, this is with significantly reduced funding. Trustees discussed this at a Board meeting (minuted) and agreed to utilise our reserves and other project funding to continue to provide a full service in 2024/2025.”
- “CAN Dorset Funded by Dorset Council. Supporting the sector by building resilience through providing free bespoke one to one expert advice, plus our popular training and webinars. We were unsuccessful in our bid to extend the work past the end of March 2025, so this work came to a close sadly.”
- “Trusted Voices Funded by Public Health Dorset. A project initially to better cascade information about covid and vaccinations to communities that have been underserved by general public health communications. Now extended to supporting improving health inequalities. This came to an end in April 2025, however, we are in conversation should funding be found to continue this work.”
