Significant events

• “This has been a year of investing in our future, too. At Pembury, we installed solar panels, part of our commitment to sustainability, while making essential repairs to our ward roof in preparation for refurbishment.”
• “In Tonbridge, we opened our largest ever Superstore, extending our retail reach and giving the community another sustainable and affordable way to shop.”
• “we announced our exciting refurbishment and transformation programme: upgrading our Hospice in Pembury, re-opening in-patient services at Cottage Hospice in Five Ashes and developing a brand-new centre for Children and Young People.”
• “While referral numbers have declined significantly over the past year, the underlying causes remain unclear.”
• “rising costs, pressures in recruiting experienced nursing staff, and increasing demand for our services.”
• “With the introduction of the improved pay and benefits package and the hard work of our Inpatient Ward and Outreach Team we have addressed our recruitment problems and now have all vacancies filled.”
• “We are excited to begin a major change programme we are calling Shaping Our Future which will involve a refurbishment of all patient-facing areas on the ground floor at our Pembury site starting in early 2026, the development of a model of care that will be the future of the Cottage hospice and incorporates the development of our Children's Centre at Five Ashes.”
• “We are now preparing to relocate inpatient care to Cottage Hospice in November, at which point it will be renamed Hospice in the Weald - Five Ashes.”

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
