- Auditor
- Finegan Gibson Ltd
- 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 first Therapeutic Support Centre, opened to the public in Enniskillen in May 2025.”
- “A new digital case management system for all of our services. The system, AdvicePro, was launched in November 2024.”
- “The Volunteer Driving Service... Demand for the service continues to grow and last year was the busiest year on record. The team facilitated 2,381 journeys to and from hospital supporting 634 patients.”
- “The groundbreaking and landmark Secondary Breast Cancer Study was launched in January 2025 in partnership with the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry.”
- “Our Retail network achieved a 12% increase on turnover last year.”
- “Our Bangor shop relocated to Main Street Bangor, with increased space and is currently delivering sales at 40% increase.”
- “The outdoor events team raised a phenomenal £463k thanks to some excellent fundraising at our signature events - Mourne Seven Summits, Belfast City Women's 10k and the Causeway Coastal Walk. One of the most notable successes in our outdoor events calendar was our unique Pink Run with over 1,000 participants raising a fantastic £110k.”
- “Our legacy fundraising income was £478k at the end of the year with a strong pipeline of legacy notifications.”
- “Cancer Focus NI had an average head count of 131 (2023/24: 115) staff during 2024/25, however the FTE remained fairly consistent. In recognition of the work of our team, we awarded a pay increase from April 2024.”
