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
- “The Religious Sisters of Charity decided in March 2024 to withdraw from its governance role and participate in a transfer of the ownership of the Hospice.”
- “The Memorandum and Articles of Association were revised, and new governance arrangements introduced from May 2024. An independent review of the new arrangements was completed in November 2024.”
- “In 2025, the Hospice initiated a partnership with the University of Glasgow that will commission and deliver research into specialist palliative and hospital based complex clinical care.”
- “The Hospice Building Programme will include replacing the roof, windows and external cladding and will cost around £5 million. A fundraising campaign has been launched... work to be completed by March 2026.”
- “The Hospice plans are now underway to celebrate 75 years in 2025, after its 70th year milestone in 2020 was curtailed due to the pandemic.”
- “The Charity has been raising funds to support building an extension to the property and completing refurbishment work on the main building. Initial discussions and minor works were carried out during financial year 2024-25 with contracts being signed and agreed during 2025-26 for the work to commence.”
