Explanation for Late Submission of Annual Accounts We wish to acknowledge that the submission of our annual accounts for the financial year ending 2024 was made after the usual deadline. This delay was due to our organisation exceeding the £1 million — income threshold for the first time a milestone we are proud to have achieved. However, crossing this threshold triggered a statutory audit requirement, which we had not previously encountered and were therefore not initially prepared for. The additional audit process took more time than our usual year-end preparations. As a result, the accounts were submitted later than intended. We would like to reassure all stakeholders that the delay was purely procedural and related to compliance with new audit requirements, not due to any financial irregularities. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and timely repor ting. We appreciate your understanding.
