- 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 or the 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.”
Subsidiaries
- Hospice of St Francis Trading Ltd · 100% held · England and Wales · trading activities
- The Hospice Lottery Partnership Ltd · 16.67% held · administer a lottery
Significant events
- “The Hospice Board has committed to getting us back in balance by the end of 2026”
- “Overall, income increased slightly and, despite tight implementation of cost control, expenditure increased by 3.3% to £8.83m in 2024/5 due to inflationary pressures.”
- “Our new regular giving campaign (Friends of St Francis) recruited 190 friends who together raised over £42,000 in their first year.”
- “Legacy income was up on 2023/24, largely due to the impact of the pandemic for His Majesties Courts and Tribunals Service who are continuing to work through a backlog of probate applications and we saw progress towards the end of the year.”
