- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Governors have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The most significant area of uncertainty that affects the carrying value of assets held by the Hospice is the performance of investment markets (see the investments note for more information). The Governors are satisfied that investments are appropriately managed and that risks associated with investment markets have been mitigated to a reasonable extent, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “We have continued to face significant financial challenges with a difficult environment for income generation, costs escalating due to matching the exceptionally high salary increase for NHS staff, the cost of living and energy crisis and volatile investment markets.”
- “In October 2024 we launched our new strategic plan 'The strength behind our stories' which will provide the driver for all operational plans and outcome measures over the next 3 years.”
- “We have secured a funding contract with NHS Lothian for 5 years, providing more financial stability for the immediate future and a commitment from Scottish Government for recurrent additional funding towards pay awards.”
- “Over the past 12 months we have reduced our carbon footprint by 6% through a number of measures including installing a significant amount of solar panels and upgrading our Combined Heat and Power Unit ensuring maximum efficiency of the electricity and gas used to power our heat and water.”
