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

“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. 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 charity'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

• “Through our LiveChat function on our website, which we launched at the beginning of 2024, we have provided another route for people to contact us and receive support. In 2024/25 a total of 123 people were provided with advice and support via LiveChat.”
• “Following the success of new play equipment and landscaping at 3 refuge sites in the prior year, we have invested in new play equipment at a further 4 refuges during 2024/25.”
• “In July 2024 Stop Domestic Abuse was generously gifted two properties which are being used to deliver part of the dispersed accommodation service.”
• “In October 2024 Stop Domestic Abuse was commissioned by Hampshire County Council to deliver the dispersed accommodation service across 8 Hampshire districts providing independent living with specialist support for women (and their children) who are experiencing domestic abuse.”
• “Throughout 2024-25 Stop Domestic Abuse also completed the purchase of a further two properties, increasing our offer of dispersed safe accommodation allowing us to support up to 11 families.”
• “We launched this programme (Stop. Think. Change.) in March 2025.”
• “We welcomed the opportunity to secure one-off payments from Women's Aid on behalf of our clients from the Home Office Flexible Fund. This followed a further investment in funding to provide one-off payments to survivors of domestic abuse to help them flee, and stay fled, from abusers.”
