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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “2024/25 has seen a number of changes both internally and externally that have influenced advice services significantly and resulted in an extremely challenging year but also one that has produced a number of new opportunities.”
• “The government white paper on the devolution of Local Authorities will see a number of changes to the way that local government is structured, with a move towards more unitary authorities.”
• “Our health related projects have continued to develop throughout 2024/25 and we have been able to secure further funding through Public Health and the local Primary Care Network (PCN) to expand these services to include the following projects: Social Prescribing, Being Well Project, The Circle Group, Fibromyalgia Support Group, WorkWell, Building Brighter Futures.”
• “The expansion of this team has brought some challenges in terms of office space as we quickly outgrow the space that we have.”
• “Organisationally we have seen more changes within the Trustee Board in 2024/25 and sadly our previous Chairman passed away in November 2024.”
