Material uncertainty over going concern
The company is financed from its parent, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD), which provides funding and has confirmed it will not demand repayment before March 2027. A material uncertainty exists due to LBBD's financial statements still being in draft and audit concerns regarding financial controls and governance, despite directors perceiving the risk to be low.

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
