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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-07-31 | 2025-07-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -2.0% | 10.9% | |
| Current ratio | 25.61x | 48.86x |
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.
Audit & accounting basis

- Dexter & Sharpe
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “In March, work began on Butterfly Lodge, our new overnight accommodation for families.”
- “In May, we were proud to be named Charity of the Year by the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce.”
- “In February, we completed the Summer House, offering a quiet wellbeing space for guests, families and staff.”
- “In July, we formally welcomed Debbie (Counsellor) and Bran (our Therapy Dog) as official members of our team.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
