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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -16.8% | -1.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 38.8% | 56.1% | |
| Current ratio | 2.34x | 1.70x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- Sayer Vincent LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we concluded the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. We identified no material uncertainties casting significant doubt on Doctors of the World UK's ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a year where you didn't really want to look at the news in the morning. It was easier to stay in our bubbles to switch off from political and world events, and to remain detached from the growing hostility towards vulnerable communities here in the UK. Unfortunately, 2024 was a year of immense suffering and harm including from the evolving conflicts in Gaza and in Ukraine.”
- “In 2024, one of our offices in Gaza City was bombed and destroyed despite its clear identification as a humanitarian facility. We have lost a fellow member of staff.”
- “In 2024, through our clinics and adviceline, we supported 1,600 people struggling to access NHS care, we delivered 437 clinic & adviceline sessions and 2,553 engagements.”
- “In 2024, through the support of our UK based supporters and donors, we were able to assist our international operations in Madagascar, Ukraine and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Gaza and West Bank).”
- “In 2024 our service was commissioned by the NHS to support newly arrived asylum seekers living in contingency hotel accommodation in London.”
