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

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 opinion

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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The past few years have seen an extremely turbulent operating environment, including the global Covid-19 pandemic, the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, global conflict-particularly Ukraine-contributing to supply chain issues and energy inflation, and a change of government in the UK.”
• “Perhaps the most significant change in terms of both operational and strategic impact has been from Clinical Commissioning Groups to the much larger and regional Integrated Care Boards. This took place in 2022, but the impacts have taken some time to filter through and indeed continue to do so as our 'local' ICB considers its approach to commissioning and funding hospice care in Cheshire and Merseyside.”
• “In 2024/25 the hospice ended its small bed contract, which covered 13 beds for Sefton and Liverpool Place Directorates; the commissioning rates had fallen far behind the true cost of providing the beds and, after several years of trying to work with the contract, it had become unviable (by some margin).”
• “In 2024/25 we received a capital grant of £60k from the (then) new government to support physical improvements across the hospice, with a further £200k promised for 2025/26. This enabled a series of improvements to be carried out (in 2024/25) and planned (2025/26).”
