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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During 2023/24 the Company was presented with the opportunity to purchase additional properties and the Directors agreed that these acquisitions should be presented to the Council as potential new investment opportunities. The Council considered the proposals and agreed a further investment fund of £20 million be made available to the Company during 2024/25. The investment properties were all purchased by August 2024. Four homes were purchased by March 2025, and the fifth completed in August 2025.”
