  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We have identified a matter of concern in our report because we have concerns that the charity may not be able to continue as a going concern. Disclosure has been made in note 1.2 to the accounts concerning the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees are aware of certain material uncertainties which remain largely outside of the immediate control of the charity.

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.

Significant events

• “From January 2025 as planned, it was agreed with The Message Trust that Hope Community Foundation would take on the running of the grocery in a social franchise model.”
• “In late 2024, trustees commissioned research to assess long term viability and the implications of closure... trustees agreed to plan for closure in summer 2025. Subsequently, interest was received from a third party seeking to take over the nursery... enabling the transfer and lease arrangements to proceed.”
• “The Nursery is due to be sold in February 2026 to another charity for a nominal £1. They will take over the running activities of the Nursery along with the staff and will rent the premises from C3 Trust UK.”
