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

Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the directors have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In forming this opinion, they have looked forward 12 months into the future from approval of the annual report and financial statements to October 2026. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”

Significant events

• “In 2024 PACE's deficit of £68,571 (2023 deficit: £84,564) decreased the level of free unrestricted reserves to £148,290 (2023: £214,901) due to increased levels of operating costs and staffing costs associated with the rise of inflation.”
• “Incoming resources for the year increased to £1,849,951 (2023: £1,771,198). The Youth Connections Programme (formally the Rebuilding Bridges project) has grown significantly from the previous year, and continues to do so in 2025 along with Spot Purchases. The HAF programme continued at the same rate.”
• “Expenditure increased to £1,918,522 (2023: £1,855,762) as mentioned above; the continued increases in operating costs, as well as the use of consultants to help with embedding new systems and practices and in response to Ofsted changes in legislation.”
• “Trade debtors increased year on year £51,942, largely due to invoicing income in advance, which is also reflected in our Deferred Income increase of £159,349.”
