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. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and repay the financial debts. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. There are no known material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “An on-going challenge during 2024/25 has been the interim clinical model put in place by NHS Lanarkshire in December 2023 due to lack of senior medical staff to ensure patient safety.”
• “Our CLAN 2 project has had another successful 18 months and evaluation has shown that engagement with the project reducing patients' visits to both GP and/or acute hospitals. However, despite these results, ongoing funding is not available and the project will conclude in October 2025.”
• “During 2024, the Religious Sisters of Charity (Sisters), who founded the Hospice almost 40 years ago and have had an integral role throughout this period, decided as part of their longer-term strategy to entrust certain aspects of their mission to others. This transition was concluded in December 2024 with New Articles of Association accepted by OSCR.”
• “Although our retail stores had a challenging year, a real highlight was the launch of our biggest retail project to date our new Shopping Outlet.”
• “Despite informing us of potential 5% decrease in funding for 2024/25 (and another 5% in 2025/26) at the beginning of the year, following discussions and negotiation we received a 5% uplift in 24/25 and a further 5% early in 25/26.”
