“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and not less than one year from the date of approval. The Trustees are constantly monitoring the financial position of the charity, in particular with regard to the potential changes to funding following the abolition of the government's Clinical Commissioning Groups and the impact on donations of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The charity has no borrowings and receives substantial funding from government grants and contracts, of which significant amounts have already been secured for the 2024/25 financial year; its level of reserves give assurance that it can withstand the short-term fluctuations in income that might arise from this uncertainty, although the situation is under continual review. The decision was made to discontinue the activities of the subsidiary company, St. Leonard's Hospice Enterprises, as of 1st April 2023, and the company remained dormant throughout this year.”

Significant events
- “Workforce challenges have been very real and have had significant ongoing impact for all employers, particularly those in the health and care sector. I am pleased to note however, that recent recruitment has been strong and the calibre and numbers of applicants for roles within the hospice are high. The ongoing cost of living challenges, recent above inflation NHS pay awards for all staff groups and most recently the increase to employer National Insurance have hit hard and will add additional pressure to us and our ability to develop sustainable plans for our future.”
- “A 14% increase in in-patient numbers.”
- “A financial operational surplus amidst a reduction in real-term funding and very challenging financial conditions, boosted by continued strong performance across retail and fundraising events.”

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
