- Secure the Charity's ongoing financial commitments to supporting the work of the hospice.
- Provide additional resources for the work of the hospice e.g. additional Community Nurses and be in a
financial position to offer support for new initiatives and/or services.
- Build reserves in order to provide additional resources for the work of the hospice or to contribute to
future upgrading/renewing the building, fabric and furnishings if and when required.
- Keep the Charity's costs to a minimum but, at the same time, make sufficient investment to maximise
income generation, meet legal requirements and satisfy 'best practice' guidelines.
- Review and restructure staffing resources to meet the Charity's needs.
- Streamline CRM and finance procedures in order to maximise supporter needs and experience.
- Produce, review
and update policies and procedures to meet Charity Commission 'best practice'
guidelines.
- Improve communications and marketing, including greater use of digital.
- Greater involvement and use of Trustees' skills to support these objectives.
c. Longer Term Aims
The demands for the hospice services continue to grow in the hospice's catchment area, yet the
Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust's (HHFT's) budget continues to be under considerable pressure.
The Board of Trustees is aware that further financial support for the hospice will be required to meet
The principal aim over the next four years is to markedly grow the Charity's income through
concentration on Trusts, Corporates and
major donors in addition to the sources of income already in
being. A comprehensive Corporate brochure has been produced to aid this process, together with
another brochure entitled 'Who we are and what we do.' Trustees have agreed to establish a separate
fund which will provide a steady source of income to help counterbalance the uncertain nature
traditional fundraising. In order to help boost the Charity's income, the Trustees are in the process of
recruiting a Deputy Director and Fundraiser.
Volunteers
Volunteers continue to play a key role in the smooth running of the hospice and associated activities. The
relationship between volunteers and clinical staff is extremely harmonious. Volunteers not only work
alongside clinical staff but they are very active in the running
of charity events, such as the annual
10@10 night walk. During 2024/25, 110 volunteers provided the hospice with a huge amount of their
time which is greatly appreciated by both Trustees and staff.

and a balance on the restricted funds carried forward is £10,301 as at 31 March 2025.

Restricted Funds
The restricted funds and their defined uses are shown in detail in note 22 to the Financial Statements
Investment policy and objectives
The Board of Trustees may make any investments in any manner subject to obtaining advice from a
financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification. The
unrestricted funds required to support the long-term commitments of the Charity are invested for income
and capital growth.
The investment policy of the company is reviewed annually and it was decided in 2024 to switch the
Charity's portfolio into two Investment Companies, namely Brewin Dolphin and CCLA. However, the
Trustees are very grateful to Rathbones for their conscientious management of the Charity's investments
For the year ended 31 March 2025 Stock Exchange Investments provided an income of £41,159,
investments in other Investment Funds provided an income of £24,808 and liquidity provided an income
of £5,253 making an overall return on all investments of 2.9% (2024: 2.4%). It should be noted that the
income achieved by the Investment Funds is reflected in the increased capital value of those investments
as very little income is distributed.

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Free reserves are calculated on the basis of the excess of unrestricted funds, excluding designated funds,
over fixed assets, including investments held as fixed assets, which are used to generate income for the
Charity's charitable activities.
The reserves that the Board of Trustees have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the
development of the principal activity which is the support of the hospice mainly in the form of grants to
Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust (HHFT).
Trustees intend to maintain reserves at a level which is equivalent to at least two years' grant to HHFT
(including support of Day Care) and one year's Charity running costs.
Trustees also intend to maintain additional reserves to cover replacement of equipment which falls
outside the remit of HHFT. For example: specialist medical equipment, 'cuddle beds', and
specification patient welfare items required for palliative care, such as motorised recliners, disability bath
and ceiling hoists.
The Board reviews at their quarterly meetings the level of reserves required to ensure that they are
adequate to fulfil their continuing obligations. On this basis the free reserves at 31 March 2025 were
£2,263,432, which represents twice the current annual expenditure of the Charity.
The Trustees have 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 golng
concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going
concern basis can be found in the accounting policies
Key performance indicators
The key performance indicators are income target, control of expenditure, monitoring financial activity
and investment growth, outcomes of marketing and communications activity. Staff have key performance
indicators related to their area of responsibility which are reviewed monthly by the Charity Director.
Cash Flow: Assets and Liabilities
The grant to HHFT is in the gift of the Trustees. The Trustees agree the grant for the next financial year
at their Autumn meeting i.e. the grant for the 2025-26 financial year was agreed at the November 2024
meeting (£525,000). HHFT is then notified of the level of the grant in writing following this meeting. The
grant is paid in four quarterly instalments and includes funding of a Community palliative Nurse and the
overnight Hospice at Home service.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust for the purposes

accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
Page 9

COUNTESS OF BRECKNOCK HOSPICE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that
they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming
resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company
for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that
the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that
the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Banks & Co. have signed a three year contract with the Charity. Designated Trustees will
propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
COUNTESS OF BRECKNOCK HOSPICE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust (the 'charitable
company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the
Balance Sheet, the 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 (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
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.
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
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.
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
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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and
our Report of the Independent
Auditors thereon.
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.
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 11

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
COUNTESS OF BRECKNOCK HOSPICE TRUST
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained
in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us
to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been
received from branches not visited by us; or
- the 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
not entitled to take
advantage of
the small companies exemption from the
requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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
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 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 charitable
company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 a Report of
the
Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed
below:
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential
litigation claims;
Enquiry of staff in compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws
and regulations;
Reviewing financial statements disclosure and testing to supporting documentation to assess
compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of
Journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting
estimates for bias.
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 is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather
than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms
part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Charity is an individual private charity limited by guarantee incorporated in England
and
consequently does not have share capital. Each of the Trustees is liable to contribute an amount
not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is:
Brecknock House
Henry Gamman Drive
Andover
Hampshire
SP10 3LB
2.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102,
have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting
by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts
in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception
of
investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements are prepared
in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity,
monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
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 receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations and gifts are recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the
amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income received for the general purpose of the
Charity is included
as unrestricted
funds. Income for activities restricted by the wishes of the
donor is taken to restricted funds where these are legally binding on the trustees.
For legacies, entitlement is taken on a case by case basis as the earlier date on which: the Charity
is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been
made by the executor(s) to the Charity 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. If the legacy is in the form of an asset other than cash or an asset listed on
a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of an asset being able to be
reliably measured and title to the asset has passed to the Charity. Where legacies have been
notified to the Charity and the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for
income recognition have been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed
if material.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be
quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Donated services and facilities
Where services or facilities are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be
purchased from our suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an
estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity where this can be quantified.
