- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 group's or parent 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.”
Group structure
- WILLEN HOSPICE · parent
- Willen Hospice Ventures Limited 100%
Significant events
- “This year's accounts show a surplus of £928k, largely due to two major legacies totalling £1.5m and a "one-off" NHS funding arrangement of £375k.”
- “The Commercial Director, Ranjit Singh, a very much loved and admired member of Willen, passed away.”
- “The rebuild of the Hospice was completed in 2024/25 with the renovation of the Manor House.”
- “The Hospice committed to purchase the 'Well' building, adjacent to its premises.”
- “Willen Hospice contracted out its 'Trusts and Foundations' work to an expert agency, significantly increasing income.”
- “The Hospice participated in the "Big Give" Christmas appeal for the first time, achieving its most successful Christmas appeal ever.”
- “A new Legacy awareness campaign was implemented to grow Legacy partners and legators.”
- “Significant progress was made with the green strategy, including installation of solar panels, voltage optimisation, and 5 electrical vehicle charge points.”
- “After the year end, the Hospice committed to a £1 million programme of repairing and refurbishing the original Hospice building, expected to be completed over the next financial year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
