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. 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

• “As we move into 2025/26 and beyond, CALA Direct Management Services will continue to champion and provide solutions in a holistic and collaborative way, working across different agencies, communities and organisations to reflect the realities and challenges in rural areas as well as in the sector and country as a whole.”
• “Continuing challenges with recruitment, increasing expectations and regulations on regulated services are all contributing to concerns about ongoing viability of the sector especially in rural areas.”
• “Ensuring our staff are valued and their professionalism and skills recognised and fairly rewarded is key to our future sustainability and growth. However, the current gap not only in pay but also in terms and conditions between the 3rd sector and public agency staff must not be allowed to widen and indeed must be closed”
