- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In light of current reserves, ongoing income diversification, and access to secured borrowing, the Trustees have reasonable confidence in the charity's ability to continue operating for at least 12 months beyond the date of this report. The going concern basis of accounting has therefore been applied in preparing the 2025 financial statements.”

Significant events
- “We are especially grateful to the Thorne Mason Trust, a grant-making brain tumour charity which closed last year and chose to donate its remaining assets to Penny Brohn Cancer Care in memory of Mike, who co-founded the charity following his own diagnosis and continued its work until his death in 2009. It is a privilege to have been entrusted with this gift.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, the charity is in the process of entering into an agreement to lease land currently recognised within fixed assets. The land has a net book value of £190,000 at the balance sheet date, and the proposed lease arrangement is for a term of 125 years.”
