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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 48.7% | 58.7% | |
| Current ratio | 2.03x | 1.70x |
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.

“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.”
Significant events
- “Our annual conference was held to mark EU Victims of Crime Day in February. Following the media attention of the Alexander McCartney catfishing case at the end of 2024, we decided to theme our conference around online harm and how we can protect young people from it.”
- “The Sexual Offences Legal Adviser (SOLA) pilot service established following a recommendation in the Gillen Report was officially extended to 2027.”
- “On 5th February 2025, Justice Minister Naomi Long officially launched the new Children's SOLA service - an extension of the existing Sexual Offences Legal Adviser service, which provides bespoke advocacy and legal support to young victims of serious sexual crimes.”
- “During 2024-25, we responded to 9 public consultations on subjects as diverse as Safe Leave for Domestic Abuse victims, Protections Against Stalking, Legal Aid, and the call for views on the Victim & Witness Strategy.”
- “During National Hate Crime Awareness Week in October, we held a unique event which used comedy and improvisation to make people think about the subject of hate crime. Titled 'Hate Crime Isn't Funny', this event was held at Accidental Theatre, Belfast.”
- “The year 2024-25 has been a busy one for Learning & Development in Victim Support NI. We have introduced new programs and revised and continued to develop existing ones.”
