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 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | -32.8% | 4.8% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 9.9% | 5.3% | |
| Current ratio | — | 2.72x | 5.66x |
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
“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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Throughout 2024 the impact of the Cost-of-Living Crisis continued to affect more and more families across the community. A growing number of families are facing financial crisis for the first time, while others are being pushed further into poverty and despair.”
- “During 2023, Vineyard Compassion experienced an unprecedented surge in demand for its services. This momentum continued into 2024, with our Foodbank and Clothing bank serving more individuals in need compared to the previous year. Additionally, our Open Door drop-in sessions received more footfall over the past 12 months.”
- “2024 also marked the continued growth of asylum seekers placed on the North Coast, across Portstewart, Portrush and Coleraine. Vineyard Compassion has the privilege of supporting these individuals and working alongside statutory and community/voluntary agencies to deliver coordinated support.”
- “One collaborative initiative was hosting an event at Vineyard in October 2024 to highlight the impact of the growing Housing Crisis on the North Coast - bringing together decision makers in the housing sphere to workshop creative solutions for this issue.”
