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.

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.”

Significant events

• “During the year we secured significant funding to allow us to work in partnership with other organisation across the District including the Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust, Morecambe Bay Foodbank, Bay Medical Group, Lancaster City Council and Green Rose CIC.”
• “In 2024/5 we have focused effort on PR and fundraising to increase community awareness of our Charitable status and were fortunate that the Mayor of Lancaster, Abi Mills, selected us as her charity of the year for her term. This enabled us to launch the 'Music with the Mayor' series of events which raised over £32,000.”
• “The trustee Board has agreed an unrestricted reserves policy equal to three months operating costs which would enable the Charity to facilitate an orderly wind-down process in the event one was required.”
• “During the previous year the Charity vacated a rented premises and subsequently had an initial demand for dilapidation costs of approximately £50,000. This initial demand is currently subject to negotiation by the Charity with the connected parties, and positive dialogue is being pursued to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.”
