- 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 Group's or the parent charitable company'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 formal launch of the Living Well Community Hub at Priscilla Bacon Lodge in September 2025 marked a significant point for the progressing collaborative model between the Charity and NCH&C.”
- “The Charity decided to close the Cromer store due to significantly reduced footfall and changing local retail dynamics. A new store was opened in Sheringham during the summer and early performance has been very positive.”
- “A weekly lottery, launched in 2025, which is managed by Your Hospice Lottery, a Gambling Commission-registered scheme owned and administered by St Helena Hospice.”
- “To support compliance and robust record-keeping, in 2024 the Charity invested in Beacon, a customer relationship management system, which was fully implemented in 2025 for data maintenance and supporter management.”
