FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that Enham Trust reported a deficit for the year of £1.8 million, a reversal from the previous year's surplus. The trustees confirm the going concern basis is appropriate, noting that the Trust relies on its parent company, Aster Group Limited, not seeking repayment of £8.8 million in due amounts to meet liabilities over the next 12 months. Per the trustees' report, the majority of reserves are tied up in fixed assets used for service delivery and are not easily realisable.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: under review (held: £1.1m)
“Our Reserves Policy is under review in light of the developing strategy since integration with Aster Group.” — page 20
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The Trust’s budgets and forecasts are dependent on the company’s parent company, Aster Group Limited not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due which as at 31 March 2025 amounted to £8.8 million (2024: 5.1 million). Aster Group Limited has indicated that it does not intend to seek repayment of these amounts for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.” — page 18
