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

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.

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 charity'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

• “HLC's transition to domestic funding (UKSPF) following the end of European (ESF) funding in 2023 was largely successful in terms of maintaining partnership approaches to the delivery of learning & skills provision”
• “reported deficit position of £44,195 in 2024-25”
• “UKSPF is in doubt beyond March 2026, and Multiply ended nationally in March 2025”
• “2025-26 ASF allocation of £477,000 had been subsumed into the HEY local authorities, without prior knowledge, as part of a devolution "pilot" process”
• “10% ASF contract top slice is now being applied by allocated local authority, which will result in a significant loss of income to HLC next year”
• “HLC's DfE 16-19 Study Programme continues to grow and deliver, and it is meeting expressed need across Hull where NEET numbers have been on the rise”
• “UKSPF Exploring Opportunities programme in East Riding, a £1m per year project, closed at the end of March 2025 as East Riding Council chose not to commission any VCSE provision via UKSPF People & Skills.”
