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

“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

• “2024-25 was another busy year for Fife Women's Aid as demand for our services continued to grow and recruitment and retention of high-quality staff continued to be a challenge. In addition to these challenges of service delivery, we have completed a move to a new office facility and faced the challenges of the housing crisis in Fife. We are grateful to have received generous donations of furniture from Sainsbury's Bank and of CCTV from Forth Security Solutions to enhance the environment and security of our new office space.”
• “Staffing levels remained consistent to ensure service provision is sufficient to meet the needs of women and children seeking our support. While the number of managers remained the same, there was a restructure during the year. The Operational Lead left her post and was not replaced. An additional Team Manager post was created to enhance the ability of the management team to support frontline staff.”
• “This year has seen three Board members step down and we are pleased to welcome three new Trustees all with complementary and valuable skills.”
• “During 2024-2025, the organisation prepared for forthcoming changes to PVG and OSCR as they came into force in 2025 - 26.”
• “We have been delighted to see the ongoing development of the Children's Counselling Service with continued funding from the Scottish Government's Delivering Equally Safe Fund.”
• “As a result of continued funding for the Court Support and Advocacy Service from The Henry Smith Charity and the Scottish Government's Victim Centred Approach Fund we have been able to continue this service and support women to seek justice through the court system.”
• “We were delighted to receive new funding from The Robertson Trust to enable us to re-launch our Befriending service.”
• “The Business Team manages a variety of tasks which are critical to the operational effectiveness of Fife Women's Aid. The small team undertake a range of duties including reception, supporting staff, volunteers and Trustees with administration, IT support, HR functions and finance. The business team supported a transition to a new finance system during the year as well as successfully overseeing the move to new office premises.”
