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 charitable company'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

• “Last year was a much better year than the one before, with fundraising targets being met for the first time in many years.”
• “The charity's first ever Impact Report was compiled and published early in the year, capturing lots of historical data and detailing the significant impact that Small Steps has made and continues to have on the community of young disabled children and their parents.”
• “The new Strategy Document 2024-2028 was compiled with input from parents, staff, trustees and graduates before being widely shared.”
• “The charity successfully appointed a Community and Events fundraiser, and awareness of Small Steps has grown in the Richmond locality. Prior to year-end, on 13 May, Small Steps was confirmed as being one of the two charities being supported by the new Madame Mayor in the coming year.”
• “Numbers of children and groups remain stable - with additional practitioner recruitment being key to being able to offer any more sessions and an increase in families. During the year, three practitioners were appointed to work in groups, all part-time.”
• “Small Steps retains six months of running costs.”
• “On 31 May 2025 there were 95 children on roll and 22 others who had registered interest. The number of groups delivered each week has increased to 21 (2024: 20).”
• “Work commenced this year on cleaning up the in-house database, to better collate supporter data and enable a more targeted fundraising approach.”
