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

“We were supported during the establishment and initial start-up phase by parent company Safe Places Australia Limited. This supporting relationship has continued throughout 2024 enabling the continued provision of finance to connected charities. Safe Places Australia Limited continues to provide Safe Places for Children Secretariat with financial support. As a result, the trustees consider that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
