Audit opinion

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 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.”

Significant events

• “During 2022, Dove Cottage entered into merger discussions with LOROS Hospice... The merger was completed on 1 April 2023 when LOROS became the sole member of Dove Cottage.”
• “Following the merger, both charities have forged stronger bonds, worked more collaboratively and shared best practice. The mutual benefits continue to unfold for both LOROS and Dove Cottage.”

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
