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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through cash in hand and a £130 million revolving credit facility (detailed in note 19). The current 5-year facility was renewed in November 2022. The resulting forecast shows the Group has the liquidity to continue to operate throughout the going concern assessment period even in a severe but plausible downside scenario which reflects all of the factors above. Throughout the going concern assessment period the covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility agreements are complied with.”

Significant events
- “Following year end, we also took the bold step of abolishing all exit fees across our developments, ensuring even greater transparency and fairness for our Owners and their families.”
- “In February 2025 we announced a new long-term partnership with Hourglass (Safer Ageing), the only UK-wide charity dedicated to calling time on the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people. The partnership will see the Churchill Foundation donate £400,000 to Hourglass over the next two years.”
