FOUNDER
The charity was founded by Mrs Mary ButteTwick OBE who sadly died. aged 91, on 30th September 2015.
Mrs ButteNick's initial vision. personal self-sacrifice and tenacity. coupled with her close interest in the work of
the Hospice which continued until her death. ensures her considerable legacy, in the charity which bears her

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
• Governing document
ButteNick Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee (incorporated October 1994} and as such is
governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It was registered by the Charity Commission on 7th
March 1995, registration number 1044816.
• Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The Trustees are drawn from a variety of disciplines with the aim of ensuring that the company has strong and
informed leadership. During 2024-2025 six Trustees seNed throughout the year, one existing trustee resigned
and three new trustees were appointed during the year. All trustees in office at the AGM stepped down and were
re-appointed. In order to increase overall Trustee numbers and target specific expertise the organisation is in the
process of recruiting additional Trustees.
When a vacancy occurs, the Chairman undertakes a skills audit to aS￿rtain what particular expertise and
background is desirable and the post is advertised through the normal recruitment channels to identify suitable
candidates who are then intetviewed and appointed, once due diligence checks have been carried out. We
maintain a split of trustees with clinical and medical experience and business experience to ensure all aspects of
the business are appropriately scrutinised.
Trustees are given a general induction on joining the Board. and regular refresher training to maintain statutory
and mandatory requirements.
The Trustees receive formal papers and reports. They are kept abreast of news and developments within the
wider charity and hospice world by the receipt of regular briefings and the circulation of relevant Charity
Commission and other publications. Trustees are also given the opportunity of attending appropriate local and
national seminars and COnferen￿S.
The Trustees continue to review the company's governan￿ arrangements, including the term of office of
trustees, and to consider models of best practice.

consideration at their quarterly meets'ngs.

• Changes during the year
Hospice Services
During 2024-2025 we continued to deliver a range of services across our two sites, with steady growth across
our Day SeNices, and highly valued support being provided to children and their families by ButteNick House,
our Children's Inpatient Unit {CIPU). Our Family Support servi￿ continued to work at full capacity, and our
Home Care Service saw increased take up.
In 2024-2025 a major focus was placed on achieving the full opening of the Adult Inpatient Unit {AIPU) and the
removal of the remaining conditions on patient numbers and complexity. Following an unannounced inspection in
May 2024 the CQC issued a revised rating for the AIPU of Good across all domains, with an overall rating of
Good. In July 2024 they also removed the final remaining conditions on patient numbers and complexity from
both the AIPU and CIPU. This allowed us to increase patient numbers in AIPU to four from July 2024, and eight
from November 2024,. and to six children and young people in CIPU.
The continued collaboration with North Tees and Hartlepool NHS FT. highlighted in our previous reports, was
instrumental in allowing us to achieve this major goal. We are proud of this partnership working, and the
seamless pathway of care for those requiring ongoing palliative and l or end of life care we have created. Fully
reopening the AIPU is the culmination of a number of years of hard work and credit must be given to the many
colleagues, both in ButteNick and the Trust. for the support and expertise that has made this possible.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT {continued)
Our next priority is to ensure that as many as possible have the opportunity to benefit from hospice care and we
are actively engaging with our NHS Integrated Care Board. Local Medical Committees and GP Practices to
promote our services and attract referrals.
Retail
The new shops opened at the beginning of 2024 steadily increased turnover during the year and are now
established and profitable elements of our portfolio. The remainder of our shops are also trading profitably,
although further growth is held back by difficulty in attracting volunteer shop staff.
Sales of gift-aided stock continue to increase, along with the sale of lottery tickets through our shops, both of
these activities are facilitated by our Electronic Point of Sale system. In order to increase the overall profitability
within Retail a review of central support costs was undertaken. this resulted in the removal of ￿0 posts in
October 2025.
Butterwick Lotteries Limited and North East Hospices Lottery {NEHL)
The day-to4ay management of the Butter*vick lottery continues to be provided by StaNale Lotteries, a company
with over 25 years, experien￿ of the management. administrats.on and development of lotteries.
Following a joint decision by all four member hOSpi￿S. North East Hospice Lotteries (NEHL) ceased operations
during the previous year with the last draw taking pla￿ on 2913124. Following closure of the company the
residual assets were distributed equally bel￿een the member hospices.. players having been encouraged to join
the lottery of their local hospi￿.
• Pay policy for key management personnel
The charity is heavily dependent upon the skills. dedication and commitment of all its staff, including the senior
staff team, who provide day to day direction, leadership and management to what is a substantial and complex
organisation. The Trustees recognise the ne￿SSIty of setting remuneration levels which enable the retention
and, when necessary. the recruitment of suitably qualified staff taking into account, where applicable, local
comparable posts.
A remuneration group has been established to review salaries and benefits and ensure equity of pay and

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland
The Hospice in Bishop Auckland serves a mainly dispersed rural community, in doing so the charity has
developed, in partnership with statutory and other voluntary bodies. seNices which meet these distinct needs.
The Hospice in Bishop Auckland serves the communities of Sedgefield, Wear Valley, Weardale and Teesdale,
and as at the Stockton Hospice, provides an appointment-based Day Hospice service in Bishop Auckland.
Recognising the distinct healthcare needs of the area, the charity has also facilitated the delivery of specialist
neurological seNices focused on patients. in particular those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, and their carers.
The charity also operates a Home Care servi￿ which supports patients, on a 24-hour basis, and their carers in
their own homes.
The charity is working closely with the Integrated Care Board and other voluntary sector organisations to further
address the palliative care needs in the area.
Butterwick House Children's Hospice
Butterwick House cares for children from birth. teenagers and young adults to a maximum age of ￿enty-five.
Based in Stockton-on-Tees. patients ac￿SsIng Butterwick House are drawn from a wide geographical area from
North Yorkshire in the South, Teesside, County Durham and Wearside in the North.
ButteNick House is a six bedded unit, four beds for children and two beds specifically designed for young adults
aged 18 to 25 years, which primarily offers planned specialist respite care.
• Staff and volunteers
To enable The Charity to achieve its charitable objectives, including the generation of sufficient financial
resources to fund its activities, the charity and its trading subsidiaries, as at 31 st March 25, employed 102 staff.
The charity additionally had the generous support of some 120 volunteers who assist in every area of the
charity's activities.
The charity recognises and acknowledges that it is dependent upon staff and volunteers, who have the
necessary training and expertise. if it is to meet the needs of the patients which it seNes and their families and
carers. To this end the charity invests both in initial induction training and ongoing continuing development for all
staff and volunteers.
The charity is supported by volunteers in every area of its activities including clinical, support services and
income generation. Their contribution to the work of the charity is considerable in financial terms. However, their
greatest value is that they represent the community that supports ButteNick Hospice Care and for their
dedication we offer our sincere thanks. Volunteer numbers have still not returned to the level enjoyed prior to the
pandemic.
In many areas of the charity's work, the demands can be both emotionally and physically draining. Staff and
volunteers are dedicated and habitually "go the extra mile. as is reflected in the many letters of appreciation
which we receive. In supporting and equipping staff and volunteers to meet these demands, the charity provides
a range of mechanisms ranging from informal peer support to Clinical Supervision.
All members of staff have an annual appraisal and regular one to one meetings which allows the opportunity to
discuss work related issues. the needs of the charity and ongoing personal development.

ButteNick Hospice at Stockton aims to provide specialist palliative and end of life care primarily for adult patients
living in the Stockton Borough Council geographical area. and also those people living within the Tees Valley
areas.
At the beginning of 2024-2025. due to the conditions imposed following the CQC inspections, Butte￿iCk Hospice
was only able to admit 2 patients. who were stable, for end-of-life care. The patients also had to be known to the
provider or to North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust (NT&H NHS FT)
with which ButteNick
Hospice had established a good collaborative relationship.
Following an unannounced inspection by the Care Quality Commission in May 2024, the Adult Inpatient Unit was
rated as good across all domains, and as a result of this all conditions were lifted. This meant that ButteNick
Hospice could proactively work towards opening all 8 beds.
To ensure that the seNice remained safe. effective. caring, and responsive, a Mobilisation Plan was developed
and implemented. This enabled the expansion from 2 non-complex end of life patients to a fully operational 8
bed specialist palliative care unit. From July 2024. 4 beds were open for end of life patients from North Tees
Hospital. From October 2024. the admission criteria expanded to include patients who required symptom control,
and patients from any setting
community or hospital. From November 2024, all 8 beds were open for
admissions for patients who required specialist, and often complex, palliative care.

Financial review
• Overview
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities sets out the results of these activities directly carried out by
ButteNick Limited {Buttetwick Hospice.. Butte￿iCk Hospice at Stockton on Tees, Butte￿iCk Hospice at Bishop
Auckland and Butte￿iCk House, Children's Hospice) as well as those of which Buttetwick Limited is ultimately in
control either as a corporate trustee (John Butterwick Trust Day Care Centre and Hospi￿) or as a parent
company {Buttetwick Lotteries Limited and Buttetwick Hospice Retail Limited). The statement also includes the
charity's share of the results of a joint venture, North East HospI￿S Lottery Limited, in which it has a 25 %
interest.
The Trust's function is to hold the properties at Stockton. all day-to4ay running being handled by Butterwick
Limited.
In the year ended 31 March 2025 the group operated at a deficit of £1,110,979 after depreciation against the
budgeted deficit of £1,024,579. This compares to a deficit after depreciation of £765,397 in the previous year.
The deficit reflected the continued reduction in statutory funding as a result of the closure of the Stockton Adult
Inpatient Unit IAIPU), and the additional costs involved in reopening the unit.
• Income generation
ststutory Funding (NHS)
The operation of the charity is partly funded by NHS England and from the local NHS Integrated Care Board, with
the majority of the funds being raised by fundraising activities. the securing of grants, the receipt of donations
and legacies, and the operations of the subsidiary companies.
In the year a total of £1,506,466 was received from the NHS and Commissioning Authorities which equates to
42 % of the Groups total income in the year. This compared to £1.195,081 in the previous year (38°/,).
Business Development
The Business Development team work across the wide geographical area from which the Hospices draw
patients. The Business Development team are performan￿ managed against an annual plan.
The charity does not use external professional fundraisers and does not buy, sell or share donor information with
any third party. Strict policies and procedures are in pla￿ to ensure compliance with fundraising best practice
and standards including data protection and the regularity and methods of maintaining contact with donors.
Income from donations and fundraising was £1.769.067 including legacies, this compares to £1,486,353 in 2023-
2024.
The fundraising and publicity costs are £551.584 equating to 31.2°k of gross fundraising income (2023-2024
37.9/).
Virtually all the charity's non-NHS income arises from fundraising and public activities including maintaining
contact with our many committed supporters. The Hospi￿ is very grateful for all the support it receives,
particularly from the local communities we support.

• Trading subsidiaries
Butterwick Hospice Retail Limited
ButteNick Hospice Retail Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary which operates charity shops selling
predominantly donated goods. It pays all its trading profits to the company by dividend.
In the year Butte￿iCk Hospice Retail Limited generated insufficient profit to pay a dividend to the company,with
the company only accounts showing a loss of £314.919. It did however sell items donated to the company which,
including Gift Aid reclaimed, raised £210,402 for the charity (2023 -2024 £140,304).
Butterwick Lotteries Limited
Buttetwick Lotteries Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary which operates lotteries on behalf of the charity. It pays
all its trading profits to the charity by donation.
In the year ended 31 March 2025 Butterwick Lotteries Limited generated £115,345 profit for the charity (2023 -
2024- £118.352). This reflects a continuing gradual decline in the number of lottery players.
ButteNick Lotteries Limited was also a member of North East HospI￿S Lottery Limited (NEHL) which ceased
operations during 2024125. NEHL'S profits were paid equally under Gift Aid to four local North East Hospices
including the Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland. NEHL generated £10,825 for the charity in the period
ended 31 March 2025 (2023 -2024 - £28,052).
• Going concern
The main risk to the Charity in fulfilling the defined objective is..
Financial risk in terms of being able to generate sufficient income to cover expenditure and being able to
pay its debts as they fall due
The risk reported in 2023-2024 in relation to CQC rating has been removed due to the revised rating of 'Good'
received for Butterwick Hospice Stockton AIPU following the full CQC inspection in May 2024. Work continues to
enhance our governance with the goal of further improving our rating.
In 2024-2025 the funding provided by the ICB for the AIPU was reduced by 75.￿ for the period in which only 2
beds were available, full funding was only restored from 5th November 2024. The resulting shortfall was met
from charitable reseNes which therefore came under severe strain. A request was submitted to the ICB for
additional funding in line with agreed reference costs from April 2025, along with one-off funding in 2024 -2025 to
ensure sufficient working capital was retained going into 2025-2026. This request was partially successful in that
the ICB substantially increased funding for 2025-2026 but were unable to provide any one-off funding in 2024-
2025. Consequently, the hospice ended 2024-2025 with severely limited working capital. Agreement was
reached with North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust to pay the charges due for services provided in
relation to the AIPU a year in arrears. this provided necessary short-temi liquidity.
The budget for 2025-2026 was negatively impacted by two primary factors, the changes to Employer NIC
contained in the Autumn 2024 budget and the funding agreed for the year by the ICB. The increased NIC rate
and reduced threshold both increased employment costs considerably. ICB funding was set at 80% of the
reference costs discussed resulting in a shortfall against the expected income. The combination of these I￿0
factors meant that rather than the expected breakeven the budget for 2025-2026 was set with a deficit of £497K.
During 2025-2026 costs have been reviewed across the organisation with staff posts being removed from both
Page 17

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
the Income Generation and Retail operations. these changes are not expected to impact materially on gross
income and will therefore increase net income in both areas.
The full reopening and improved occupancy levels of the AIPU have significantly increased both activity levels at
the hospice and engagement with our local community. This is leading to increased donations in the short-term
and can be expected to impact posits'vely on community fundraising over the next few years.
Work is also ongoing to review the seNices delivered by the hospi￿ and prepare a range of options to be
considered as income received has not been sufficient to sustain current se￿1￿ levels.
Taking into account the difficult funding environment for hospices nationally, and the particular challenges faced
by Butte￿iCk in relation to working capital. trustees are of the opinion that the charity is currently no longer a
going concern. Advice on the financial position of the charity has been taken and discussions are ongoing with
other parties with a view to securing the long term future of service provision.
• Reserves
The charitable group's reserves have been depleted as a result of operational deficits in past years coupled with
capital expenditure.
At the year-end total group reserves were £1.56m with £731 K of this restricted and £776K unrestricted.
Recognising our continued dependence upon unpredictable charitable activity and support the Trustees have
concluded that it would be prudent at the current time, to incrementally create a resetve equating to a minimum
of three months operational costs. Based on current expenditure levels. three months operational costs amounts
to approximately £1.148m, at 31st March 2025 free reserves were a deficit of £732k. The trustees will continue
to monitor this in the year 2025- 2026.
A key priority for the Trustees is to build cash reserves in line with policies.
Future developments
The full reopening of the AIPU and the improvement in the related CQC rating from 'Unsatisfactory' to 'Good'
mark a considerable step foNard for the hospice. This was achieved through a great deal of sustained hard
work and commitment, and with the valued assistance of our colleagues in North Tees & Hartlepool NHS
Foundation Trust. Work continues to build upon this and further develop and enhan￿ our setvices in the spirit of
continuous improvement. It is essential that as many people as possible are given the option of benefiting from
our Se￿iceS and we are committed to raising awareness and developing new referral pathways.
Having rejuvenated our seNices. we must now focus on financial sustainability and ensure the continued
provision of excellent palliative and end of life care for our communities. It is essential that we ensure our
structures are as efficient as possible, and that we maximise opportunities to build our income streams. The
existing work on these areas will continue with the aim of controlling costs and increasing income in real terms
year on year.
Our work with North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust was instrumental in reopening the AIPU and we
intend to continue our collaboration to expand and develop the seNices offered. The Service Level Agreement
with the Trust for the provision of staff and services to support the AIPU has worked well, and we intend to
continue with and build upon this. The partnership has been beneficial to both parties and will be a key element
in our plans going foNard.
Similady, our relationship with the North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICBI has grown stronger
with regular meetings and involvement by ButteNiick in developing seNice and contract specifications. We have
Page 18

BurrERWICK LIMITED

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
now moved from grant funding to a contract basis, and although we have not yet achieved the funding level we
had hoped for, we must recognise and thank the ICB for the very substantial increase given in 2025-2026. We
look fotward to exploring ways in which this can be increased further.
It is widely recognised that the whole hospi￿ sector is currently under financial pressure with the vast majority
using some element of reserves to maintain servI￿s. Intensive lobbying by Hospice UK has increased
awareness of this issue and resulted in recognition by the government that the current situation is unsustainable.
It is hoped that this will lead to increased funding. although the amount and timing of any decision is unclear.
This challenging environment for all hospices makes it all the more important that hospices work together to
share best practice and influence commissioning arrangements. ButteNick is an active participant in Hospices
North East & North Cumbria, a ne￿Ork of 12 independent hospices within the footprint of the North East & North
Cumbria Integrated Commissioning Board. This group has setup a number of working groups across
professional disciplines to share expertise and explore best practice.
Addressing concerns about the going concern status of the charity is the immediate focus of trustees and active
discussions are taking pla￿ with parties who may be able to assist Butte￿iCk in continuing service provision in
the longer term.

and Republic of Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31
March 2025 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of reSoUr￿s, including its income and
expenditure for the year then ended-,

Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
EMPHASIS OF MArrER
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements which explains that the accounts are prepared on the
cessation basis.
The group is showing a deficit of £1,101,979, free reserves (before the reclassification of long term assets to
current assets) have dropped from £320,986 to a deficit of £731,824 and group cash has fallen from £932,267 to

materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtsined in the course of the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
MArrERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion..

AUDITORS. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditors, report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our prO￿dureS are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below-
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the area in
which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and
regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not
detecting a material miststement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or international misrepresentations, or
through collusion.
We identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas.. recognition and completeness of income and
posting of unusual journals. We discussed these risks with management and designed audit procredures to test
the recognition and completeness of revenue. We reviewed journals posted around the year end to look for
potential "window dressing"

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 1021 (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
ButteNick Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities
are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otheNise stated in the relevant
accounting policy.
The consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and consolidated balance sheet consolidate
the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of the subsidiaries
are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act
2006 and has not presented its own statement of financial activities in these financial statements.
The income and expenditure account for the year dealt with in the financial statements of the charity
was a deficit of £730.609 (2024. £497, 595 deficit).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees. having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the charity is no longer a
going concern.
The group is showing a deficit of £1.101,979, free reseNes (before the reclassification of long term
assets to current assets) have dropped from £320,986 to a deficit of £731,824 and group cash has
fallen from £932.267 to £380,709.
The Trustees of Butte￿iCk Limited have taken advi￿ on the financial position of the charity and
discussions are ongoing with other parties with a view to securing the long-term future of service
provision. However it is clear that without inte￿entIOn the Charity will run out of cash and cannot
continue. For this reason a non going concern position has been adopted and the accounts are
prepared on the ￿SSatIon basis.
This has not resulted in any amendment to the figures with no change in value to any assets or
liabiliites. The long term fixed assets have been reclassified as current assets.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income re￿1vable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the charity is aware that
probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the
executor{sl to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the
estate. Receipt of a legacy. in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be
measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.
Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate,
and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent
asset and disclosed if material.
Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. No amounts are included in the
financial statements for SeNi￿S donated by volunteers.
Where goods are donated under the gift aid scheme the charity is not entitled to the income until the
goods are sold and the donor has confirmed that they are gifting the proceeds. In this case the
income is included as a donation rather than as a sale.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations re￿iVed under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is
recognised at the time of the donation.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit
to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs
of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activities on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs
of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs
incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost. net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated
residual value. over their expected useful lives on the following bases-
Freehold property
Long term leasehold propety
over 50 years
over 50 years, the period of the lease or until
the first break clause
over 5 years
over 4 to 10 years
over 5 years
Short-term leasehold prope
Furniture & Equipment
Motor vehicles
2.6 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their
transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value
cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains
and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gainsl(Lossesl on
investments, in the consolidated statement of financial activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
Investments in joint ventures are stated at the amount of the Group's share of net assets. The
consolidated statement of financial activities includes the Group's share of the joint ventures, net
income or expenditure using the equity accounting basis. As the joint venture is a charity, the
investment is presented within restricted fvnds.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.7 Stocks
Stock of unsold donated goods are not valued for balan￿ sheet purposes. Stocks of merchandise
are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity
of three months or less from the date of acquisits-on or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.11 Financial instruments
The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Pensions
The charity contributes to a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is
a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the
contributions have been paid the charity has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of financial activity when they fall
due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the
plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
2.13 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by
donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and
administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted
fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGMENT
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgments are continually reviewed
and are based on experience and other factors. including expectations of future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In preparing these financial statements the Trustees have used the cessation basis of accounting.
As explained in note 2.2 the Trustees have taken advi￿ on the financial position of the charity and
discussions are ongoing with other parties with a view to securing the long-term future of service
provision. However it is clear that without intervention the Charity will run out of cash and cannot continue.
For this reason a non going con￿rn position has been adopted and the accounts are prepared on the
cessation basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STATEMENT OF FUNDS (CONTINUED)
The Bishop Auckland Hospice fund operates to raise funds for the day to day running of a hospi￿ at
Bishop Auckland. A transfer has been made from this into general to fund the core team which is essential
to ensure compliance and the safe provision of SeNI￿s.
The Stockton on Tees Hospice fund operates to raise funds for the day to day running of a hospice at
Stockton on Tees. This is the largest cost and one of the primary charitable activities and income raised
from unrestricted events and donations made without restrictions helps to fund this area.
The Children's Hospice fund operates to raise funds for the day to day running of the children's hospi
at Stockton on Tees. This is partially funded by a grant from NHS England. A transfer has been made
from unrestricted funds to help fund this area.
The Dignity in Care and Outpatient Supportive Services funds represent grants provided by the
Department of Health to help fund improvements to the hospices. Fixed asset expenditure when incurred
and depreciation of those assets is charged to the appropriate fund over the life of the asset.
The Endowment fund was created through the gift of the original hospi￿ building. This was
subsequently sold and the proceeds and related gains have been reinvested in the existing hospice
premises.
The Hospice UK grant represents funds provided by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
to support charitable hospices to improve or maintain their physical estate for best end of life care to
patients and their families in a supportive and dignified physical environment.
