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 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 was again challenging due to the overrun of the building project. Time delays caused by building staff shortages, delays in obtaining materials and bad weather kept pushing back the completion date. We were pleased to be able to move our admin team back to Frimley in January 2025. More importantly we announced the day service return to Frimley for 31st March, and although the new patio and steps were still under construction, we were able to fully open Active Arts and Open Door at Frimley on that day.”
• “An application was made to the Charities Aid Foundation Bank, securing a loan of £350,000 over a 25-year term. this enabled works to continue, preventing further delay of day service delivery from Frimley.”
• “At the start of March 2025 work had begun to redecorate the outside of Westwood.”
• “Since the year end, the charity has spent an additional £86,600 on refurbishments of their freehold property.”
