Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Hospice has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, as the charity has a regime of annual budgeting supported by monthly management accounts and quarterly Finance and Investment Committee meetings enabling considered management decisions to be made. This allied with a level of reserves, an appropriate identification and quantification of risk, supports the Trustee's expectations.”

Significant events

• “The service is operating 24/7 and has provided high quality care through bespoke packages to more patients and their families with data demonstrating an activity increase of 81%.”
• “Income generation has improved through community fundraising, legacy giving and retail, all under new leadership and with increased resource. With a major rebrand exercise concluding and the new look name and logo launching in October 2024 we have aimed to increase awareness of the charity and invite the community to celebrate our 40th Anniversary year with us.”
• “Through their efforts we saw the Health Secretary announce a boost of £100 million to the sector in December. Whilst this funding cannot support revenue costs it has already enabled us to enhance our digital capability and invest in much needed new beds and mattresses for every room on the Inpatient Unit.”
• “In late April we held our biggest Tulips for Tapping event to date. Over a 10-day period we welcomed 30,000 visitors to the field and raised over £322,000.”
• “Following on from Tulips we held an evening of Opera in the prestigious Sandringham House ballroom. 164 attendees joined us for a moving evening of music and raised £44,400.”
• “The same day a luncheon event was hosted by a third party at the Fakenham Race Day which raised £56,650 from ticket sales and an auction.”
• “The introduction of our new corporate partnership programme has generated good levels of interest with 14 companies signing up by the end of March 2024. A special event in December offered our corporate partners the chance to sponsor a star as part of a light installation to light up the Hospice for Christmas. This generated £13,000.”
• “Legacy income was exceptional and generated more than £1 million across the year.”
• “In addition, we received the first tranche of a grant from the Department of Health and Social Care that was negotiated and administered by Hospice UK... The sum of £81,531 was used against the purchase of new beds, mattresses, chairs and IT consultancy.”
• “We have invested in the build and installation of the national clinical record system within all our care services.”
• “Last year we launched our Compassionate Community campaign.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
