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

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

• “2024/25 was the first year of a five year contract (plus a potential further two years) which delivered 10% savings on the previous contracts and had some additional requirements within it, namely a change in the processes around reporting of carer assessments and allocating carer funds, a reduction in the size of the hospital team, a removal of the requirement to provide counselling and the inclusion of the welfare benefits service within the main contract.”
• “The past twelve months have been marked by profound challenges for carers. The cost-of-living crisis has continued to bite, with many carers telling us they are cutting back on food, heating, and even essential respite.”
• “During 2024/25 there have been several national changes that may impact on local carer services and CSWS has been involved in activity to raise awareness of the impacts of these: A change in government and six out of nine MPs in West Sussex are new in post. Increase in National Insurance thresholds - has increased the costs for most organisations. Welfare Reform is causing concerns for carers, with changes to Personal Independence Payments. The cost-of-living crisis is still an issue for carers and the changes to the winter fuel allowance have impacted on some carers. The Carers Allowance overpayment review. Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation. Abolition of NHS England and 50% funding cuts to the Integrated Care Board.”
