Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Board in preparing these financial statements is mindful of ongoing pricing pressures. The ongoing process of contract renewal and securing future funding is actively managed ensuring the needs of all stakeholders are taken into account. The Board has assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and have prepared forecasts based on assumptions considered reasonable by the Board of Directors. Based on these projections the Board has a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements future and thus continues to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
