The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024 is scheduled to be _on-line (Zoom)_ on Sunday 13[th] October 2024 at 2.30pm.

## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, governed by a _memorandum_ and _articles of association_ . The charity’s object and principal activity continues to be “ _to support the provision of palliative care to terminally ill cancer and AIDS patients and their families in Africa_ ”.
The Trustees have continued to meet regularly to manage the affairs of the charity in the UK. The zoom platform has continued to be an efficient communication platform enabling Trustees Dr. Anne Merriman and Dr. Mary Bunn to attend Trustees meetings from their African bases!
We are grateful to Canon Dr. Donald Gray and Frank Cottrell-Boyce who have kindly continued to act as Patrons for Hospice Africa.
The charity’s work continues to be carried out entirely on a voluntary basis. The Hon. Treasurer manages the day-to-day finances of the charity. The Hon. Chair, Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer, with help from other Trustees, have shared the collective duties normally carried out by a Chief Executive. The Board of Trustees has the power to appoint additional Trustees as it sees fit within the remit of the Articles of Association.
The work is carried out in close partnership with the Founder, Professor Dr. Anne Merriman, and there is regular contact with Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU), which is a _non-governmental organization_ and a _limited company_ in Uganda. There is an AGM at the end of October when trustees, donors, supporters and charity shop staff meet at the Brain Charity Centre in Liverpool, with a zoom on-line link available from anywhere globally, but particularly providing links for Trustees and supporters located in Africa.
## **Hospice Africa Origins**
Hospice Africa (HA) was founded in 1993 to spread the ethos and practice of palliative care in Africa. Our founder, Dr. Anne Merriman, has radically changed the provision of care and pain relief for people in Africa with life-limiting illnesses. 'This has transformed the lives of thousands of patients, improving quality of life for many with holistic care and symptom relief, and supporting patients to have a comfortable and dignified death.'
Hospice Africa raises and manages funds in the UK to send to our partners in Africa, particularly in the long-term with Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU). With our partners, we have helped to introduce palliative care to 35 Africa countries. In 20 of these 35 countries, affordable oral morphine, the backbone of all palliative care, is now available for pain relief.

## **Dr. Anne Merriman – Autobiography – ‘That’s How the Light Got in’**
Dr. Anne reports, as she approaches her 89[th] birthday, that she is in fairly good health after two difficult years health-wise. Her new book is available on Amazon.
## Anne writes …
I would like to thank you for your love, support and prayers, over the last year. We are so grateful to continue the work we do at hospice, but the need is endless. We are so grateful for your continued support and love; we truly feel it!
## **Fundraising**
At Hospice Africa UK, we have managed to stay positive and motivated with our vision for ‘palliative care across Africa central to all that we do’. The governance integrity of the charity revolves around raising funds through two charity shops, regular gift-aid funding from personal contributions, and fund-raising initiatives. Where possible, we have been able to gain grants, but it appears that grant funding is more effectively secured when the grant applications are sourced from our operational partners in Africa. We send annual restricted and unrestricted budgeted funds of some £260,000 to Africa in line with the funding intentions.
Over 50% of the charity’s income is provided by individual (gift-aided) donations, and we are extremely grateful to a large number of dedicated supporters.
The two charity shops in Liverpool and Ainsdale are providing vital funds for the palliative care work in Africa. In the Liverpool shop, the annual income is some £50,000, and in the Ainsdale shop, where there has been a revamp and upgrade, the annual income is some £40,000. We continue to be grateful to our volunteer shop managers (Ann and Liz at Old Swan and Ruth and ??? at Ainsdale) who carry a busy workload to keep the shops running effectively, and also to the dedication of all the shop volunteers. We also give grateful thanks to Maria Merriman who has worked with the volunteer managers and staff at the Ainsdale Shop during the upgrade.
**Liverpool Old Swan Shop Ainsdale Shop**
**The Big Give Campaign:** Trustee, Philippa Guppy, has been enthusiastic in pursuing the opportunity to match-fund a large proportion of the donations within a ‘Big Give’ week last Autumn. We set our hopes high, and it paid off. The total raised kept mounting, finally reaching £22,491. Thank you all so much.

## **Hospice Africa Uganda**
The team in Kampala continue to ensure the provision of specialist palliative care services. They are so grateful to the Hospice Africa Family, their Uganda Board, and their partners and donors for the unwavering support. During the last year, they have had to operate within strict budget limitations, so it continues to be an ongoing struggle to ensure that the delivery of palliative care services remains viable and sustainable.
An overview of the Hospice Africa work in Uganda is summarised in the Hospice - Africa Uganda section of the Website shown below. (www.hospice africa.org)
**International Morphine Education Programmes Production** | 1 m if , g iF i ary ¥ @ 4 A f i ar pam A core part of our Although our clinical Hospice Africa mission is to enable centre is in Uganda, produces palliative care across we work with partner affordable Africa. We do this by organisations in morphine on-site providing training for many African in Kampala which students and healthcountries to is then prescribed care professionals promote palliative to our patients and from across the care across the send out to other continent. continent. medical facilities across the country.
**Clinical Care Education**
Our clinical teams treat patients, providing them with holistic palliative care from within the clinic or at their homes. They work from three sites … Kampala, Hoima and Mbarara.

## **Volunteers Travelling to Uganda**
Chris and Maria Merriman visiting Drs Ollie and Kate Sykes visiting HAU (July 2023) HAU - Mbarara (Jan-March 2024)
Our UK Board Chair Chris Merriman and his wife Maria visited Hospice Africa Uganda for two weeks at the beginning of July and had an unforgettable experience. They received the warmest of welcomes both from Dr Anne’s family household and also the HAU teams at the Kampala, Mbarara and Hoima sites. Chris and Maria were so pleased to spend precious time with Dr Anne, and also had a very full itinerary of meetings with hospice leadership, team members, partner organisations, and local supporters.
Most importantly they joined the clinical teams on patient home visits from all three hospice sites and saw again at first hand the extraordinary palliative care service that HAU delivers every day with incredible expertise, love and compassion, leaving no stone unturned in their mission to address all the needs of the patient and their family.
Chris commented that “We were blown away by the commitment and dedication of all the HAU team, and it’s very clear how much they appreciate all of the support they receive from HAUK and our donors. The money we send over to Uganda is put to excellent use.”
## **Give a Chance**
Hannah Merriman oversees the ‘Give a Chance’ programme where children of HAU patients have been offered support for their schooling on an ongoing basis. This is a relatively small programme supported by a small number of enthusiastic donors who provide ‘committed’ donations.
## **Brief Financial Review**
The charity’s income has decreased from £298,435 last year to £210,803 during 202324 with resources expended increasing from £186,035 to £277,503. The expenditure exceeds income by £66,700 resulting in our reserves reducing from £290,852 to £224,152.
Charitable activities amounted to £245,013 supporting work primarily in Uganda and Malawi. They also support the development of palliative care clinicians from other African countries through the educational programmes run by HAU’s Institute (Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care in Africa).
5
The Board of HAU has continued to manage the running costs with care, but there still remains a challenging funding shortfall in Uganda. There have been regular on-line meetings between the UK Chair and UK Treasurer and HAU senior staff aimed at evaluating the ongoing deficit and trying to ensure that Hospice Africa Ltd can continue to regulate its income, reserves, and budgeted funding to HAU to ensure that HAU remains solvent both in the 2023-24 period and in the immediate years ahead.
## **Funding Risks**
Because the Charity employs no staff, except on a voluntary basis, all of the income raised, apart for a small amount of governance expenditure, is used directly for the work of the Charity in its core objective of palliative care for the African continent. The probity exercised by UK Trustees is to convert the funds already raised in the UK to become available to send to Uganda.
Trustees are aware that there was still a two-fold risk, as the Hospice Africa organisation steered through a difficult year.
- an on-going deficit in Uganda: the HAU Board must bring operations out of deficit.
- a likely reduction in funds available in the UK: this is already challenging HA Limited to exercise probity in its UK support to HAU.
HA UK Trustees will continue, as far as possible, to ensure the enduring vision of _palliative care for all in need in Africa_ continues.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**

## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hospice Africa Limited**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hospice Africa Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Voluntary income**
Voluntary income, donations and grants are included in incoming resources when they are receivable. The income from activities for generating funds is shown gross, with associated costs included in fundraising costs. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold at the amounts realised.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
