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

“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about Kaleidoscope's ability to continue as a going concern and there are no unplanned material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts. The entity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “This financial year has been one of intense challenge for our charity, which provides essential health and wellbeing services commissioned by both the NHS and local councils.”
• “Throughout the year, we have seen increased delays in contract renewals and commissioning decisions from both NHS trusts and local authorities.”
• “In response, we have implemented a number of cost containment measures, including restructuring some service delivery models to increase efficiency and renegotiating supplier contracts.”
• “We also deepened collaboration with other voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations, pooling resources and creating joint bids where appropriate.”
• “We have, however, noticed that the new Government has created fiscal uncertainty which has had an impact on corporate spend.”
• “Calum Nisbet, who had been appointed as interim CEO in November 2023 was made permanent in March 2024 and remains in post as CEO.”
• “The Government's decision to raise National Minimum Wage, Employers National Insurance and reduce the NI thresholds at the start of the next financial year is estimated to add £81k to the charity's wage bill which will create fresh challenges in 2025-26.”
