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

Significant events
- “A settlement was reached regarding the use of intellectual property (IP), with the charity paying a one-off sum of £175,000 for the historic use of IP.”
- “Due to the shutdowns caused by COVID deterioration has occurred that is outside the normal level of wear and tear that could be expected. Coming out of COVID the charity focused on operational maintenance and did not undertake investment to ensure that the facilities were maintained to keep them to the standard that they were in when they took occupation. As a result, a request has been made for the charity to make reparation, and this is currently under discussion.”
- “In 2023 we introduced a feedback programme to understand the needs of those attending social interaction programmes in order to evolve the programmes we provide.”
