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

Significant events
- “In summer 2023 we submitted a tender to Gloucestershire County Council for the new Children and Family Centre contract for Cheltenham and Tewkesbury locality and Stroud and the Cotswolds locality which replaced the Targeted Family Services contract. In January 2024 we were advised that our bid for the Cheltenham and Tewkesbury locality contract was successful and we commenced this new contract on the 1st April 2024 for an initial 5-year period with an option to extend for a further 2 plus 2 further years.”
- “In April 2025 we closed the centres at Dursley and Stroud.”
- “In September 2024 Gloucestershire County Council awarded Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, in partnership with Aspire Foundation, the contract for the Children and Family Centre contract in Gloucester City and the Forest of Dean, commencing on 1st April 2025.”
- “Following the award of the new Children and Family Centre contract with effect from the 1st April 2024 and our ongoing Early Years provision we are expecting our major streams of income to remain relatively stable over the next few years.”
- “The organisations' structure has undergone significant change during the first 6 months of 2024, and operational management arrangements will change to reflect the new structure and operational responsibilities.”
