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.

Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in demand for puppies and kittens, followed by a sharp increase in abandonment as households faced changing circumstances and rising living costs. As a result, animal shelters and rescue organisations are under unprecedented pressure.”
• “We were proud to see the continued progression, and ultimate success, of the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Act 2025, introduced by Danny Chambers MP, who re-tabled the legislation after the 2024 General Election.”
• “December 2025 saw the publication of the Government's Animal Welfare Strategy, which FOUR PAWS UK extensively fed into. It set out a number of significant commitments relating to companion animals, many of which align closely with our long-standing policy priorities.”
• “We welcomed the successful signing of the Pandemic Treaty, a milestone that recognises the critical role of animal welfare and the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance in preventing future health crises, areas we have consistently championed throughout the negotiation process.”
