- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year under review four submissions were made to the Charity Commission under the RSI process. These submissions related to safeguarding concerns.”
- “The Home Office then made further contact on 31 December 2025 informing us by written correspondence that these breaches were deemed serious enough to attract fines totalling £120,000 but that these fines can be reduced to £80,000 for prompt payment and for cooperating fully with the investigation.”
- “The last individual to leave Sherburn House moved out on 14 December 2025.”
- “Unfortunately, in August 2025 an individual we support passed away due to suspected legionella related infection.”
