Examples of care
George (in his wife Eileen's words)
Seven years aso, Georse was diagnosed with Parkinson's. We managed the symptoms
very well as a collective. It didn't change who we were and what mattered to us.
Throughout this period George remained so strong and stoic. But last June, after a nine
day stay in hospital, we found out that he had stage 4 colon cancer. A lot of the
symptoms of this type of cancer were the same as Parkinson's which masked the
presentation of cancer. leaving it too late to act.
We were pragmatic in our decision makins and as a family decided not have chemo nor
dwell on our situation. Instead we had the most amazing six months. cherishing every
moment together. George had made it clear that he didn't want to go back to hospital or
to pass in a hospice. I wanted to honour his wish - our wish - for him to remain at home.
We'd coped with a lot. and it was a privilese to care for George. but this was soing to be
different. I wanted to be with him as his wife in his last moments. The Macmillan nurse
SU9sested Tynedale Hospice at Home. They quickly arransed for a nurse to come out
and she stayed with us through night. She made us both feel calm and comfortable. Her
understandins and compassion were evident throughout. and it is hard for me to put into
words how much this meant to both George and l. The Hospice nurse enabled a
peaceful, dignified and lovins end. making our last wish a reality.
To lose the physical presence of my husband is beyond words but knowins he was cared
for in suck) a compassionate and di8nified way is a huge comfort. Tynedale Hospice at
Home made the most enormous difference on the most important night of our life. Our
family is forever 8rateful.

Keith
Keith is a 54-year old gentleman who has been diasnosed with gastric cancer. Before he
started to receive support his symptoms included pain, fatlgue. nausea and poor sleep
He was also sufferins from anxiety and was eatins very little. He had lost a lot of weight
and was f eelins very weak. Keith was feelins very ansry in relation to his diagnosis as he
felt that doctors were slow to recognise his symptoms. When he first accessed support
from the Hospice, he had just begun an intense course of aggressive chemotherapy
treatment. The Macmillan Nursin9 Team knew about the Complementary Therapy
service offered t)y the Hospice and referred him to Sandra.
Keith first tried a holistic treatment and was deeply relaxed during the session, but at the
next session said he was open to try another treatment and was curious about Reiki.
Sandra tk)en recommended he tried Reiki energy healing. He enjoyed it as it felt sentler
for him and he was amazed at feelins the sensations of the enersy.
Keith then spoke to Sandra about anxieties he was having about not wanting to eat, the
nausea he was feeling and that he couldn't understand all that was happening to him.
Sandra recommended he try hypnotherapy and combined this with shamanic therapy
and sound therapy in his next session. Keith deeply relaxed during the session and was
able to release and let so of the anxieties he was carryins. He told Sandra that he had
never been able to do breathing techniques but that she had made it so simple for him
to follow that he found it easy.

Peter
Peter visited one of the Hospice's shops and sot chattins to one of the volunteers about
the Patient Transport service. It transpired that he was suffering from a liver tumour
and that he lived alone with no support and was finding settins to appointments
challenging. He didn't know that the Hospice offered transport to hospitals for treatment,
and as a result of the conversation he referred himself to the service.
After a few appointments the service contacted him to check that the transport was
workin8 as expected. He said that despite the stress of his treatment. the journeys to
and from his appointments were the hishlisht of his week. His treatment made him feel
anxious but the light-hearted conversations with the drivers made him relaxed
and ready for his appointments by the time he arrived at the hospital. He said that the
drivers were also good at sensing when he was havin8 a tough time with his treatment
and knew when he needed a quiet journey.

splitting their time between both hospices to improve efficiencies and ways of workins
Following the resignation of Mike Thornicroft in October 2023, the Board of Trustees

The Hospice had another positive year with an increase in income of £455,656 to
achieve a total of £2.124,733 and a surplus of £579,495. This surplus results from..
Some very generous legacies. including one very large lesacy which presented
Trustees with an opportunity to consider how these funds are invested to best
support delivery of the Hospice's objectives. The decision was taken to designate
('ringfence') some funds for strate9ic projects to improve service provision and ensure
the sustainability of future income generation activities.
Strong retail and fundraising operations.
An increase in interest on bank deposits to £24.077.
Rechargins costs for partnership working with Hospicecare North Northumberland.

them. While we work hard to keep expenditure to a minimum, other costs also increased
reflectins inflation across the economy and some additional costs of service
developments and fundraisin8 activity. 46% of the Hospice's income is spent on service
delivery in the community.
Plans are in place to deliver a number of stratesic projects in 2024/25 that will utilise
desisnoted ('ringfenced') funds. These include..
A new Electronic Patient Record system that will improve quality of care, increase
efficiency and support closer working with GPS. District Nurses and NHS Palliative
Care Services.
Development of new services and increased numbers of referrals.
The identification of new retail premises and the improvement of existins provision.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries. the Trustees hove a reasonable expectation that the
charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern ba51S
can be found in the Accounting Policies.
Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees has considered the financial position of the charity. It recosnises
that it is critically dependent on the support of the local community. The Trustees
resularly review the financial risks of the charity to ensure there are sufficient reserves to
meet any risks that may occur. The Trustees consider the key risks to the financial
stability of the charity to be a significant reduction of income. The Trustees consider the
minimum level of free reserves to be between 3-6 months of operational costs to
ensure continuity of service. As at 31 March 2024. free reserves of £713.133 were held
which is 4-5 months of planned 2024/25 operational costs (free reserves were

whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of

purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a
true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial

Tynedale Hospice At Home
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNEDALE HOSPICE AT HOME
Extent to which the audit was Gonsidered Capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wilh our
responsibilities. outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website. to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities. its control environment. and likely future developments,
including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is Gomplying with that framework. Based
on this understanding. we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perfom audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws
and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed prO￿dureS
which included..
Enquiry of management and those charged wth governan￿ around actual and potential litigation and Glaims as well as
actual. suspected and alleged fraud.
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance.
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the
financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection.,
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable
laws and regulations-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and
other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal
Gourse of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicalors of potential bias.
Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact
on the financial statements" health and safety" employment laws" compliance wth the Care Quality Commission; and compliance
with the UK Charities Act and Companies Act.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a
material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance
with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely
to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion. forgery. intentional omissions. misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those
matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we
do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as
a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
