What the accounts disclose
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The financial situation becomes more difficult. Birmingham Forward Steps have not included HomeStart in the tender. This means that Home-Start services across the city of Birmingham will be decommissioned at the end of the Forward Steps Early Years contract in March 2027. This will be the first time in 50 years that our leading family support charity will not have Local Authority investment. This leaves us needing to raise further funds to continue offering families in Birmingham the evidence-based support they need to make life changing differences.” — page 15
