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 | 2023-03-31 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 14.2% | 15.9% | |
| Current ratio | — | 6.68x | 6.14x |
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. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- 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 charity'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
- “Our greatest achievement in 2024/25 was the improved outcomes we achieved with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse across Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland.”
- “This year significant achievements included being awarded the contract to deliver the Authentic Voice Coordinator project, Echo, in Leicestershire in partnership with SafeLives.”
- “Other significant developments include securing the Respect accreditation for male victim services; securing approximately £10k for individual survivors, through the national Flee, and Future, Funds, to ensure financial barriers do not prevent survivors from remaining in abusive abusive relationships.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
