- PKF Francis Clark
- 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Group structure
- HOSPISCARE · parent
- Hospiscare (Shops) Limited 100%
- Budleigh Salterton and District Hospiscare 100%
- Hospiscare Exmouth and Lympstone 100%
Significant events
- “Another significant development in 2024/25 was the completion of a merger between Hospiscare and Budleigh Salterton & District Hospiscare (BS&D Hospiscare). On 1 November 2024, after approval by the Trustees of Hospiscare and Trustees and Members of BS&D Hospiscare, the two associated charities merged.”
- “The overall financial performance for the year was better than expected due to an increase in the level of funding from NHS Devon ICB, a large one-off donation and increases in legacy income, whilst a strategically planned cost reduction exercise aided savings in expenditure against budget throughout the year.”
