Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-03-31 vs 2023-03-31

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 financial year 2023-24 has been difficult, due to the cumulative shortage of financial support from the commissioned services and the need to retain and improve staffing levels. The ongoing impact of inadequate funding has caused a difficult operating environment across the care industry in the UK, but the Trust has been particularly impacted by receiving much of our funding at exceptionally low hourly rates compared to the rest of the market. Despite these setbacks, the Trust continues to perform well and deliver a first class service, and we believe that the current situation will not impact on the Trust's short-term sustainability and our "going concern" status. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
