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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “All areas of existing activity continued during the year with the addition of a new advice contract with Lloyds Bank.”
• “The NatWest and Lloyds banking Group advice contract was significantly extended in April 2024 to 2025 with an increased income for the full financial year contributing to the financial surplus.”
• “Southend City Council funding of our core advice service contract has been extended to March 2027 which gives considerable comfort in being able to continue our work for the foreseeable future.”
