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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -5.1% | 0.8% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 7.2% | 13.6% | |
| Current ratio | 3.38x | 3.19x | |
| Interest cover | -19.55x | 3.12x |
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.
Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial accounts have been prepared on that basis.”
Significant events
- “In June 2024 the charity's Boutique Retail store in Bangor, Co. Down was unfortunately destroyed in an arson attack resulting in alternative temporary premises in the City being acquired under a licence agreement. Following reinstatement, the store relocated back to its original premises in July 2025. The additional expense was largely compensated through insurance.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
