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 | 2023-09-30 | 2024-09-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -34.0% | -0.8% | |
| Current ratio | 2.21x | 1.85x |
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.

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events

- “decision was taken by the board in 2022 to bring the subsidiary back into the main charity as of 1 October 2023 and wind up the separate company. The company was dissolved in September 2024”
- “Our payroll bureau closed after the end of the financial year.”
- “Our communities were significantly affected by the civil unrest and riots across the region in the summer of 2024.”
