Significant events
- “2024/25 at Saint Francis Hospice was a year of focus on continuing to deliver outstanding end of life services to our local communities, while taking stock and reviewing what and how we achieve against a rapidly changing environment around us. This is so we could develop a new, bold strategy for the next 5 years, to reach more people, grow our impact and become more sustainable into the future.”
- “We were thrilled to have once again been recognised as an Outstanding provider of end-of-life care by the Care Quality Commission. Motivated by the needs of people who come to us for care and support, day in and day out, each and every member of the Saint Francis team – staff or volunteer, strive to do their best. Pausing to celebrate the Hospice's 40th anniversary gave us all a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the difference we have made over the years, while reigniting passion and commitment to continue our work well into the future.”

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
