Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events

• “Havens Hospices reached a major milestone, achieving a gross income of £20 million, despite economic challenges, driven by increased fundraising and commissioned services such as the Hospice Rapid Access Service (HRAS).”
• “We secured the UK's first contract to host an Electronic Palliative Care Coordination System (EPaCCS) for babies, children, and young people (BCYP), finalised the BCYP project, and established the first shared Clinical Nurse Specialist role with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).”
• “As part of a unified approach, we welcomed the Community Team into the Inpatient Unit (IPU), improving collaboration and patient care. A transformation project in IPU resulted in improved recruitment, reduced turnover, fewer clinical incidents, and increased staff engagement.”
• “The Hospice Collaborative Partnership (HCP) - Havens Hospices, Farleigh Hospice, and St. Luke's Hospice-won 'Best Not-for-Profit Working in Partnership with the NHS' at the 2025 Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards.”
• “This year, the Fair Havens Hub introduced several new groups aimed at enhancing emotional wellbeing, encouraging self-expression, and fostering a deeper sense of connection among those we support. We developed the 'Identity Group' as a two-session programme that helps individuals explore how illness and diagnosis can influence their sense of self and life roles. 'Serenity and Strength' is a relaxation-focused group designed for individuals with limited mobility and communication. Expressive Writing is a collaborative effort between the Occupational Therapy and Creative Therapy Teams.”
• “We opened two additional shops in Maldon and Leigh-on-Sea, bringing our total to 28 across Essex, which has strengthened our presence in key locations.”
• “We implemented donation top-ups at tills, raising an additional £14.5k, enough to fund two full days of care.”
• “From April 2024 to March 2025, our volunteers contributed 158,226 hours of service, a 23.7% increase from the previous year. This increased commitment saved the charity an estimated £1.8 million.”
