Rlchard House Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ènded 31 March 2021
Part I
Report from the Trustees

Richard House Trust Flnancial siatement
Introduction from our Chalr
The Board of Trustees is pleased to present the Richard House Children's Hospice annual report and
financial statements for 2020121.
Our purpose at Richard House 15 to provide the best possible care and support to children with life limiting
conditions and their families. While our focus ha5 remained unchanBed, the challenges of Covid-19 over
the past year have changed every aspect of the way we work. Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our
staff, while protecting the hospice and maintaining services, has been a priority. Where possible, staff have
worked from home, 5UPPOrted by new technology. Those who provlde care in the hospice or through our
Hospice at Home seNice have followed stringent working practice5 to ensure rigorou5 infection tontrol.
Our retail staff have managed the closing and re-opening of our shops, while volunteers have patiently
paused their roles or adapted to our new needs. We thank them all and extend our partScular thanks to our
CEO, Chris Baker, who has stewarded Richard House so smoothly through these turbulent times.
NHS England awarded Rlchard House a substantSal government grant to provide 5UPPOrt to children and
young people with complex needs in the Context of Covid-19. We are proud of the work Richard House has
done to support the efforts of the NHS, including welcoming chlldren whose move to the hospice freed up
space in hospitals for Covid treatment. We believe the pandemic highlighted to the NHS the true value of
working in partnership with children's hospices and we look forward to continuing this effective working
relationship to the benefit of all.
With many of our usual fundraising activities made impossible by Covid restrictions, we have relied on the
commitment and support of our funding partners more than ever. We are grateful to the trusts and
organisations whose exceptional generosity ha5 helped us through challenging times and to the diverse
collection of faith, community and social groups on whom we have relied to promote our work and offer
assistance.
As a result of this, and the efforts of all at Richard House, our income exceeded our expenditure in the year,
resulting in a surplus and consequential improvement in our cash and reserves position. While thls
excellent performante has taken us much of the way towarils the levels we seek, there is still work to do
and we will continue to focus on growing both cash and reserves to improve our longer-term reslllence and
sustainability.
From a financial perspective we cannot expect a repeat of this year's government grant and without this
we remain very reliant on gifts, donation5 and income from our shop5, With only about a third of
expenditure being funded from statutory sources. We expect a stronger performance from the Richard
House Trading Company Limited which made a105s in this financial year, with shops closed due to pandemlc
restrictions. We are aware, however, that some of those or8anisation5 and individuals who supported us
so generously have themselves been affected by the pandemic and we continue to highlight the key risk of
raising sufficient income from fundraising to fund our expenditure commitments.
It give5 me Breat pleasure to reflect on the succes5 of Richard House in responding to the challenBe5 of
Covid-19. The hospice has ￿mained open to care for the children, young people and families who have
been in most need of our serviees at this toughest of times. GoinB forward, we hope to see a return to the
full range of activlties participated in and appreciated by all who use and contrlbute to Rlchard House.
The Board of Trustees would like to express our thanks to all those who have supported Richard House
during the year.

Our Communities
Our families
From the moment a child is diagnosed with a Ilfe-llmltlng, 1Sfe-threatenin8 or complex health condition
everything changes. These changes affect the whole family, which is why we feel it is vital not only to
provlde care to the child but to support the whole family.
Richard House provide5 a famlly-centred, needs led, and outcome based service to ensure that all
psychological, physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of our children, young people and familie5 are
met.
Poverty and disadvantage also have a signlficant impact on the families we work with..
The majority of our familie5 come from boroughs with the highest child poverty rates In the
UK, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Hacknev.
Newham, Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham and Hackney have some of the highest leve15
of intome deprivation in London.
Medical advance5 are enabling children with increasingly complex conditions to live longer and we feel
passionately that these children need to be 5UPPOrted.
Our families remain tommltted to RSchard House and show their support for us by holdlng events to ralse
money even after they no longer use our services.
Our staff
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our staff, as well as protecting the h05pice and maintalning services,
continued to be a priority this year. We continued to provide protective care and have strict control
measures in place to enable acce55 to the h05pice. We reviewed and adapted COVID secure working
practlces further to ensure rigorou5 infection control. We have a150 implemented stringent testing
measures requiring all staff to take a lateral flow test prior to attending the hosplce as well as
encouraging vaccination uptake. For staff working from home, we have invested in new technology to
ensure the best possible experience and continued connectlon to the hospice. Alongside this we have
hosted regular all staff meetings remotely and sent out monthly newsletters to ensure that staff are up to
date with what is happenlng at the organisation. We have an employee asslstance programme In place
and have regularly promoted this, along with additional wellbein8 resources, to ensure that staff have
access to wellbeing support. Managers have also been making wellbeing a topic of one to one catch up
meetings.
Our development programme for palliative care nurses broadens their specialist competencies. Thi5
training means we can continue to support a range of complex cases, which has increased our catchment
area, a5 this level of care is not available generallv.
Recruitment and retention remains a priority focus, particularly in Care and Family Support due to the
ongolng nationwide shortage of nursing staff. This year we have specifically expanded our bank of
temporary staff to ensure flexibility in staffing and to prevent staff shortages.
Our volunteer5
Volunteers are a crucial part of the Richard House family, with over 3CKJ volunteer5 giving their time and
skllls to support our children and families. Their roles range widely, from retail assistanls to van drivers;
from ￿CeptIon1stS to gardeners and from admin a5SlStants to photographers. During the past year and
the COVID-19 pandemlc we have had to pause many of our volunteering roles due to retail closures and
in order to Safeguard the hospice and our volunteers. However, volunteer commitment to Richard House
remains high and volunteers have keenly returned to their role5 a5 soon a5 possible, such as upon re-

Our partners
Thls past twelve months have been very challenging for Richard House, with much of our planned
fundraising activilies curtailed due to Covid. Without the commitment and support of our partners and
5upporter5 we would not have finished the year in such a strong position, and we are immensely Brateful
to the many companies, Trusts and organisations who have helped us through, many of whom were
facing challenging cirtumstances themselves. Partnership is integral to our fundraising, and whilst many
of our usual activitie5 such as volunteering and challenge events have noi been possible, many of our
partners have developed new virtual ways to support us, and we have developed new initiatives such as
our mental health workshops to help support our partners through the challenges of the last year.
West Ham Football Club have also contSnved to support us and once again held an awareness match in
5UPPOrt of Richard House. We look forward to weltomin8 a crowd back to next yearfs event.
Our supporters
Richard House is proud to work with the many different communltles that make up the areas of London
we work within. Throughout the last year we have continued to receive support from a dlverse Broup of
faith, community and social groups, and in particular we are grateful for the continued support of the
Muslim community, who continued to promote our work through local mosques, and to the many
Freemasonry Lodges that have offered assistance.
We belleve that the coming year will continue to be challenging for fundraising, with much untertainty stlll
surroullding fundraising events. Over the comlng year our supporters will continue to be essential to
Securing the income we need.

Rlchard House Trust Flnancial Statement
How Did We Do?
Total income for the Broup in the reporting year was £4,743,208 compared to the prior year figure of
£4,318,054. The improvement is attributable mainly to an Increase of £940,622 in Statutory income
£2,192,632 12020- £1,252,010). The favourable Varian￿ is made up of COVID 19 Government grants of
£689,277 to the hospice and the remainder Is attributable to increased activity levels in respite care during
the course of the year. General fundraising income reduced slightly by £33,216 to £2,152,838 12020-
£2,186,054). Income from Trading activities was £365,300, down by £182,458 compared to £547,758 in the
previous year. The prolonged shop closures resulted in reduced Sales; although, the 2020 result was
uplifted by a receipt of government retail grants of £120,000 from the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant
Fund for the COVID-19 pan(lemic. Investments and interest income also Increased to £14,904 12020..
£5,824).
The charitable expenditure increased in the year by £214,601 to £2,803,57212020.. £2,588,971) whilst the
expenditure on raising funds reduced by £134,731 resulting in net expenditure increase of £79,888 to
£3,992,20112020'. £3,912,313).
We achleved the following key objectives:
l. Dlgltal Transformation by introducing new digital tools and increasing the use of digital
technology in the workplace to optimise prodLSCtivity, improve data security, share
information securely with the NHS and continue to engage with children, young people
and their families during the pandemic.
How we achieved thi5..
At the start of the pandemic we deslgned and implemented an electronic medicine
reconciliation and administration record IMRARI. This enabled medlcine reconciliations to
be done remotely thus allowing a ¢hild/young person's own drugs to be administered
safely whilst they were resident at Richard House.
Staff and families were trained in using Microsoft Teams as a way to attend a virtual
meeting. This enabled us to conduct pre-admission assessment meetings with parents
whose children were due to be admitted.
We also continued virtually with mum'5 groups, varlous actSvitles, music therapy and
counselling. This enabled us to remain engaged with the children, young people and their
familie5 and offer much-needed support during lockdown.
We set up virtual meetings to ensure the effective running of all streams of work at
Richard House. Multi-professional meeting5, Staff meetings and study days were
suctessfully held whllst lockdown restrictions were in place. This has worked well and will
be continued as an effective way of attending meetings and communicating without the
need to travel to meetings.
All digital technology was upgraded to allow for remote staff working. Office365 was
implemented and data moved to the Cloud. Desk and screening equipment assessments
were completed to support staff In setting up a workspace at home.
The organisation undertook a major IT Infrastructure upgrade including switching the
internet connection to a leased line to provide a secure connection, along with a
supporting backup line and a Health and Social Care Network IHSCNI connection to allow
the care team to share infomiation with the NHS and other healthcare organisations.
2. Establish contingency plans and utllise risk management processes to respond and adapt
to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on deliverlng essential seryices to children
and young people with palliative care needs at Richard House and in the community.
How we achieved this..
We devised protocols and rolled out tralning to all staff to introduce enhanced infection
control measures and the use of level two personal protective equipment IPPEI.
IOIPage

Richard House T¥ust Financial Statement
We restricted access and screened all staff, visitors. children, young people and their
families entering the hospice.
We conducted environmental COVID risk assessments in the workplace to identify and
mitigate the risk of transmlsslon of the virus.
Only essential staff continued to work at the hospice and we made change5 to ensure
senior clinical support was available. Further to thls, stafflng levels were reviewed at the
beginning of each day and on occasions when staffing was not sufficient, the senior nurse
on site would step in and work in care.
Supporting the wellbeing of our staff during the pandemic
How we achieved this..
A COVID-19 Infection Control protocol was developed and shared with staff. Sufficient PPE
was made available throughout the hospice. Staff underwent testing to ensure the right
size FFP3 face masks are used to give them full protection when working with a suspected
COVID case. All staff also re￿iVed training in the correct use of PPE.
Visits were restrlcted to only essential visiting and vigorous screening was implemented
to ensure a5 far a5 possible to protect those in the hospi￿.
COVID-19 risk assessment5 for employees working in the hospice and in families, homes
through out￿¥Ch seNices, were carried out. An agreed plan was devlsed for each
employee that was in the high-risk group.
We rolled out rapid antigen COVID-19 testing ILFDI for Care staff. All staff were trained in
how to perform testing and were given kits to do an LFD test prlor to coming to work
before each shlft.
To ensure tontingency and safe stafflng levels in case of potential COVID related absen￿$,
the nurse manager5 formed part of a rota daily to support the clinical team.
We continued with virtual team days and reflectlon sesslons were arran8ed wlth an
external clinical supervisor.
A5 well as slgnposting staff to the Employee Asslstance Programme, we sent wellbeing
resources to all staff on a weekly basi5. We have worked to align the resources to current
events such as wellbeing during Christmas and Ramadan, managing anxietles around
lockdown easin& and promoting Mental Health Awareness week.
We ran a pandemic related staff survey in summer 2020. This was a short survey with
questions specifically asking for staff feedback on their wellbeing, working conditions anil
leadership of the tharlty during the COVID-19 pandemic. We then repeated the questions
as part of the wider annual staff survey which ran in Jan/Feb 2021. The responses to
questions around mental health and well-being on both surveys were predominantly
positive. We also ran small group workshops followinE the annual survey to explore any
issues raised in more detail and are creatlng actlon plans to address a￿a$ of need.
4. Develop our Hospice at Home offering in collaboration with our North East London clinical
tommisslonlng groups and in Ilne with the NHS palliative care service specification.
How we achieved this:
We continued to work with the local hospita15' neonatal and peadiatric teams to promote
the delivery of end of life care at the child's and/or famil￿5 place of choice. We offered
support at home with a senior nurse on call 2417. We offered the use of the Rainbow Suite
for post bereavement care. Special mobile equipment was made available and enabled
the senior nurses, who formed part of a 2417 on call rota, to provide care in ihe family
home if this wa5 requested.
We Saw a huge increase in the demand for health respite in the family home during the
pandemic and we delivered 3,929 hours of respite at home, an increase from 1,541 hours
in the previou5 year. We athieved this by deploylng some of our residential staff into the
IIIPage

communlty whilst demand for respite al the hospice reduced due to the pandemic. We
also recruited additional staff to the hospice at home team.
We provided virtual activltles and music therapy in the family home and coun5elling
sessions were offered to those familie5 who needed the 5UPPOrt.

Financial Review
Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertalntles
The key risks we face include.. raisin8 sufficient donations and legacles Income to fund our expenditure
commitments- limited cash reserves,. recruiting and retalning thildren's nurses required to deliver the
support to children, VOLtnB people, and their families- maintaining high standards of care including the
regulatory risks in complying wlth the requirements of CQC and uncertainty over future levels of Statutory

£2,192,63212020.. £1,252,010) as a result of government grants of £689,277 from NHS England INHSEI.
NHSE awarded funding to allow the hospite make available bed capacity and community support from April

situation.
Expenditure
The in-year expendSture increased by £79,888 to £3,992,201 12020.. £3,912,313). The increase in net

12020- £2,588,971) due to increased activity levels in our care seNices durlng the year; thus, contributing

Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

## Part 2 Financial Statements 

**16 |** P a g e 



Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members and Trustees of Richard House Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Richard House Trust (the ’company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Group Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

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 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. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

**17 |** P a g e 



## Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the [strategic report and the] trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- [the strategic report and the] trustees’ annual report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in [the strategic report or] the trustees’ annual report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- • the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from preparing a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

**18 |** P a g e 



## Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151[1] of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts. 

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 auditor’s 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 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 procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. 

## **Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company. 

Our approach was as follows: 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are [the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council] 

- We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance. 

- We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance. 

- We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 

**19 |** P a g e 



## Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group and parent charitable company’s internal control. 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. 

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or parent charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit report. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## **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 and, in respect of the consolidated financial statements, to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and trustees those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members, as a body, and the charity’s trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

## **Richard House Trust Notes to the Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

Richard House Trust is a charity incorporated in England and Wales. 

## **Basis of accounting** 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (FRS 102) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charitable Company and its subsidiaries constitute a public benefit group as defined by FRS 102 and therefore the Charity also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

These accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Consolidation** 

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its two wholly owned subsidiary undertakings, Richard House Developments Limited and Richard House Trading Company Limited, for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

In accordance with Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, no separate statement of financial activities is presented for the charity. The net outgoing resources attributable to Richard House Trust were £883,848 (2020: net income £293,203). 

## **Income** 

This represents income from grants, donations, fundraising events, merchandising sales, statutory funding, and interest. 

There are two types of income: unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted funds are funds that can be spent at the discretion of the Trustee Directors on the charity's objects. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been set aside by Trustees Directors for specific purposes. Restricted funds are funds provided by external sources for specific projects and may only be applied towards those specific projects. 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised, the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail on their contribution is given in the Trustees' Report. 

**24 |** P a g e 



Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

## **Richard House Trust Notes to the Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)** 

## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)** 

For legacies, entitlement arises when the Charity is aware that probate has been granted. Receipt is normally when the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition has not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supply of goods and services to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

## **Expenditure** 

This represents the expenditure on raising funds and charitable expenditure. Expenditure on raising funds includes fund raising and publicity costs and the expenses of the trading company. Charitable expenditure is the cost of activities in furtherance of the charity's objects. 

Expenditure is classified by the category of activity for which it is used rather than by type of expense. Allocation is on an actual basis, or where this is not possible, on an estimated usage basis. 

- Expenditure on raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting donations and legacies income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

- Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of hospice and related care and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities. 

- Support costs include central costs and have been allocated to cost categories on the basis of staff time spent in each area. 

- Governance costs (included as part of support costs) include those incurred in the governance and strategic management of the organisation including costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Expenditure on tangible fixed assets over £1,000 is capitalised and depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life: 

Fixtures and fittings 20% straight line Office equipment 15% straight line Motor vehicles 25% straight line Computer equipment 33% straight line Freehold buildings 2% straight line 

## **Intangible Fixed Assets** 

Expenditure on intangible fixed assets over £1,000 is capitalised and depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life: Web site 33% straight line Computer software 33% straight line 

**25 |** P a g e 



Richard House Trust Financial Statement 

## **Richard House Trust Notes to the Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)** 

## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value after making due allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving stock. 

## **Donated goods for resale or distribution** 

The company receives donated goods for resale in the charity shops of the subsidiary company. As per the advice of The Accounting Council, donated goods are not recognised as income on receipt as the value cannot be measured reliably and the benefit of recognising the item does not outweigh the costs. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

## **Provision for accrued holiday pay** 

The company has made a provision for unused holiday pay accrued at year end. As the total amount accrued was immaterial, the adjustment was made within the reporting period. 

## **Provision for bad debt** 

The company has made a provision for bad debts based on those debtors which are unpaid at the time the accounts were approved and due to the time may not be recovered in full. 

## **Taxation** 

The company is a registered charity and did not receive taxable income in the year. 

## **Remuneration** 

The company has a Remuneration policy which includes remuneration for key management personnel. The company undertakes benchmarking regularly when setting remuneration and determining salary changes. 

## **Operating leases** 

Rentals charged under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged on a straightline basis over the term of the leases. 

## **Pension costs** 

Pension contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities on an accrual basis, 

## **Financial instruments** 

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost

using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and have considered the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular the trustees have taken account of pressures on statutory income, donation income, fundraising events, and trading income, as well as expenditure. The trustees have considered various scenarios and the mitigating action available to them should income fall significantly. Based on this and the significant unrestricted reserves available the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

## **17.  Pension Commitments** 

The company is an approved organisation, for the purpose of the National Health Service (Superannuation) Regulations 1980, making contributions to the National Health Service Pension Scheme. The Scheme is regarded as a statutory scheme by the Inland Revenue and is covered by section 22 of chapter 3 of the 1970 Finance Act. The contributions of the employer are 20.68% (the employer pays 14.38% under the transitional arrangement and the NHS paid 6.30% until March 2022) and the contributions of the employee range from 7.1% to 13.5%. As a statutory scheme, benefits are fully guaranteed by the Government. Contributions from both members and employers are paid to the Exchequer which meets the cost of the scheme benefits. The Exchequer also pays for the cost of increasing benefits each year by the rate of inflation. This extra cost is not met by contributions from scheme members and employees.

The fixed asset fund represents funds that the trustees have agreed to set aside as designated funds and corresponds to the net book value of tangible fixed assets not represented by restricted funds. The replacement and maintenance fund represents funds set aside as designated funds to ensure that fixtures, fittings and computer equipment are fully operational at all times. Amounts are transferred to and from the general fund to maintain the designated funds at the appropriate levels. These funds typically represent between 4-5% of the fixed asset value. 

The trading subsidiary funds represents the retained profit held by Richard House Trading Company Limited 

It is anticipated that these funds will not be used in the next three years as the care area of the hospice has recently been refurbished. The replacement and maintenance fund is expected to be spent within five years

*  The Transition Fund consists of funds raised to support our transitional care service for young adults. *  Sensory Garden Fund consists of funds raised for transforming our award winning garden. The work was mostly donated professional services from Greenfingers charity. 

*  Care database consists of funds raised moving clinical data & operations to a new more secure database to eliminate unnecessary paperwork, and enable efficient and smart working. 

*  Other Funds consists of funds raised for transport and Music Therapy, events for children, management and administration 

*The NHSE awarded funding to allow the hospice to make available bed capacity and community support from April 2020 to July 2020 to provide support to children with complex needs in the context of the COVID-19 situation and to provide bed capacity and community support from November 2020 to March 2021 for the same purpose.

## **Our Thanks** 

Every year we need to raise more than £4 million to maintain and expand the services we provide for life-limited children and their families. Statutory funding covers only a limited amount of our costs, so for every £4 Richard House spends, £3 must be funded by donors. We could not continue without the commitment of our dedicated supporters and thank all who have shown their support.
