- “This financial year, the charity recorded an operational surplus of £1.61 million (2024/25: £544k deficit) and a positive-investment revaluation of £492k (2024/25: £40k loss) resulting in a total increase in reserves of £2.1 million.”
- “Total income for the year was £9.84 million, an increase of £2.85 million compared with the previous year (2024/25: £6.99 million), primarily driven by a record year for legacy income.”
- “NDH Ventures Ltd, the wholly owned trading subsidiary, generated profits of £477k (2024/25: £418k) which were gifted to the charity, and successfully launched Waggy Tail Meadows, a secure dog walking field, generating a profit of £13k in its first year of operation.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, probate was granted for three legacies with an estimated value of £148,000 (2025: £488,000), which will be recognised when entitlement, probability, and measurement criteria are satisfied.”
