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.

Significant events

• “During 2024/25 figures show that 87% of people said we helped them to find a way forward, and 86% said they would be Happy or Very Happy to recommend our service to others. Despite increasing demand, these figures have improved since last year.”
• “Our value to society during the year 2024/25 has been measured in three ways: Savings to government services - estimated at £3.47m; Wider social and economic value estimated at £34.75m; Benefits to individuals - estimated at £16.54 for every £1 income”
• “We were able to secure over £803,000 of continued or new investment into our services over the coming two years.”
• “The cost of living crisis drove more clients to seek out our services, and we were able to support many of them through help with their energy bills thanks to the Cheshire West & Chester Council Household Support Fund. In total we distributed £270,000 of fuel support to clients in greatest need.”
• “Having identified high demand on our telephone service, we increased resources, however demand has continued to grow and we are still only able to answer 56% of incoming calls. A service review is planned for the 2025/26 financial year.”
• “The legacy was a kind donation from the late Jackie Farrington, a former volunteer and much-missed colleague. Jackie had a strong commitment to providing disability advice in the Winsford and Northwich area and as such we intend to spend this legacy in 2025 and 2026 on providing a disability advice service in local GP surgeries.”
