Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Xeinadin Audit Limited
- 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 charity'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.”
Significant events
- “The hospice won the Wigan Borough Business Awards Charity of the Year in 2024.”
- “The hospice has supported Hospice UK's work to lobby government for a fairer funding model for hospices. This included a trip to parliament with other members of Greater Manchester Hospices Provider Collaborative.”
- “The lottery price increase has significantly increased overall income from lottery and the surplus it generates for the hospice.”
- “The refurbishment of the hospice's Golborne shop has been carried out, which has increased income in that shop. Further shop refurbishments are planned for the coming year.”
- “Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board agreed one-off funding for core costs, to help us with some of our financial challenges and we also received the first of two instalments of capital funding from the Department of Health and Social Care, which has enabled us to do much needed work to our hospice building.”
- “The like-for-like investment funds, equities and gilts increased in value by £547,307 (2023-24: £157,478).”

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
