- 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The charity purchased a new care home, welcomed its new residents into their transition accommodation, and planned for the naming of the home by Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin (which took place shortly after the year-end).”
- “We opened a brand-new charity shop in Exmouth, joining our growing retail network of seven shops and a busy E-Commerce store.”
