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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 6 August 1999, and registered as a charity on 12 November 1999, originally under the name Great Oaks Dean Forest Hospice. In November 2020 a resolution was passed to change its name to Great Oaks Hospice and to adopt its present Articles of Association which set out its charitable objects and its powers and govern the operation of the Hospice.”
- “This year, Hospice at Home was proud to be recognised as a finalist in the National Palliative and End of Life Awards. Celebrated at an event in London, this recognition was a wonderful acknowledgment of our team's commitment and care.”
- “We were also honoured when Great Oaks went on to win the Community Heroes Award, an achievement that felt especially meaningful as it reflected the impact we've had within our own community and with the families we have touched.”
- “Our investments, in common with worldwide stock markets have fluctuated widely during the year, but this last year added £60k as they rose back to previous expectations.”
