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

“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. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.”

Significant events

• “The Trustees adopted a new Strategic Plan for the organisation to guide our work from 2023 to 2026.”
• “The academic year 2023 - 2024 was a busy one with the final year of our National Lottery Community Fund supported 'The New Normal' project.”
• “We welcomed Laureen Cuckson as our new freelance finance support person in September and thanks to support from the Rank Foundation's 'Time to Shine' programme we were able to recruit Emily Crudden Mcllhatton in a role supporting the development of our communications from January 2024.”
• “Priyam Yarnell and Antoinette Burke stepped down from the Board in December and June respectively and Ciaran McArdle and Joanne Coen joined in July.”
• “Ciaran was also appointed treasurer given his accountancy background.”
• “Politics in Action secured a third grant from the International Fund for Ireland's 'Communities in Partnership Programme to extend this work to December 2025.”
• “Politics in Action were excited to receive an award from the Ireland Funds' Heart of the Community scheme in June 2023 of £15,000 to support the core costs of the organisation. In June 2024 we secured a further grant of £10,000 also toward core costs.”
• “In July 2024 the Labour Party announced that they would introduce legislation to reduce the voting age to 16. This was a significant boost to our Votes at 16 Campaign, and we held a special event at Queen's University in September 2024 to launch the local campaign attracting significant media interest.”
