Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about Weldmar Hospicecare's ability to continue as a going concern. In forming their opinion, the Trustees reviewed the forecast performance of Weldmar Hospicecare prepared by management for the foreseeable future. In doing this, they have considered the potential impacts of reasonably possible scenarios, including the impact of reductions in fundraising and retail income, increases in costs, and the uncertainty around the timing of cash flows on legacy income. The Trustees have concluded that Weldmar Hospicecare has resilience in its liquid resources to manage the impact of these risks and uncertainties.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
