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
“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 charitable company'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
- “In 2024 there continued to be open doors of opportunity for men and women to move on in their journey of faith. The year has seen the church take some great steps forward towards our collective goal of outworking the aims and objectives by reaching out to those in the community around us and across the world.”
- “This year, we saw more people than ever come to our Christmas events, particularly the big Christmas Experience with 3600 tickets sold across the three concerts, as well as an exclusive programme for the elderly and the special needs families. We also gave over 750 bags of kindness to people in need across the city with 1,414 people impacted, 10 organisations partnered with, and over 300 hours given by volunteers. We also gave a small gift to all the 1,390 residents of care homes in Aberdeen.”
- “We continue to serve every generation. In 2024 we had an average of 360 children engaged in the kids programme on Sundays as well as a growing kids team of approx. 150 adults serving across various teams from toddlers age group to pre-School and primary kids.”
- “2024 was our third year of running Love Aberdeen, a week of mission on our doorstep. Showing the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Over 450 people served during the week and we touched thousands of lives through kids club, place improvement projects in care homes and schools, elderly outreach, street work, and prayer walking and flyering.”
- “On the facilities side, the year 2024 has been a significant year on rolling out energy efficiency projects. Whilst also upgrading the building to introduce energy savings through funding available, our focus has been on engaging with various initiatives to help improve the environment and reduce our carbon footprint.”
