Hospices of Hope Limited

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Our Vision is of a future where all patients who need palliative and/or end of life care in South East Europe are able to live and die with dignity as respected and valued members of their society.

Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for children and adults who need palliative and/or end of life care and provide support for their families in South East Europe by increasing provision and access to palliative care services and training of medical personnel.

Our Aim is to achieve policy changes in Romania, Serbia, Republic of Moldova and Albania that will lead to hospice/palliative care becoming available to a majority of the population. We also aim to influence the governments of the surrounding countries that do not currently have palliative care services, do not fund palliative care services or do not have adequate systems in place to care for those who need palliative or end of life care.

Our Structure

Hospices of Hope is a registered charity in England and Scotland, has two UK offices based in Otford and Edinburgh, a retail subsidiary trading from 15 charity shops in South-East England and Scotland and a branch in Republic of Moldova opened in 2017.. We also have a sister charity in New York, USA with 501 (c) 3 non-profit, tax exempt status.

We work through our partner organisations in Romania, Serbia, Albania and Greece and through our branch in Republic of Moldova, which support national networks of palliative care teams. Our objective is to enable these organisations to become self-sustainable as soon as practicable. We have a memorandum of understanding in place with each organisation.

We also support other hospice and palliative care organisations in Central and Eastern Europe through the provision of advocacy, technical support and training.

Medical professionals from these countries have been trained:

Armenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

Our Purpose

Hospices of Hope serves the needs of patients needing palliative and/or end of life care and their families and carers in Romania, Serbia, Greece, Albania and the Republic of Moldova through its partner organisations and branch. The charity has a policy that it will only work with organisations that provide hospice care of a high international standard, free of charge to the beneficiary. Patients are accepted based on need and residential proximity, not on the grounds of race, religion or ability to pay. The education provided to medical professionals is subsidised where possible.

In 2021, despite the continuation of the pandemic, over 7,000 patients were able to receive palliative care across our network.

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Funding

Fundraising policy

The charity uses in-house fundraisers and volunteers. The main sources of income (apart from income generated by the trading company) are donations from trusts and foundations, charitable events (gala dinner, lunches, regular giving, quizzes, sporting and crowdfunding events), corporate giving and legacies. We have an extensive database of very loyal donors who are supporting our work.

The charity is compliant with The Code of Fundraising Practice which can be found on the Fundraising Regulator’s website – we also have a fundraising promise on our website: - https://www.hospicesofhope.co.uk/donor promise

There have been no instances of non-compliance with any code and we have not received any fundraising-related complaints. The organisation does all it can to protect vulnerable people, this is laid out in our privacy policy: https://www.hospicesofhope.co.uk/privacy-notice

The charity is especially careful and sensitive when engaging with vulnerable people or those we have reason to believe might be vulnerable.

Third party fundraisers notify us of their fundraising activities, and we support them in any way we can; providing materials, literature, speaker if needed, etc. We are in contact with them before and after their activity. The majority of our supporters use online fundraising pages, so the funds raised are received directly by the charity.

the partners of Hospices of Hope Moldova. Raise funds to support Merimna, Greece.

The COVID-19 pandemic meant the UK continued with lockdown restrictions until 29[th] March 2021. Less severe but nonetheless restrictive measures remained in place until 19[th] July 2021. As a result, our fundraising opportunities were radically reduced, particularly in the area of events, networking and meetings. A number of “virtual” forms of fundraising were undertaken.

Our charity shops were closed until 12th April, which limited our ability to trade. However, we were able to access UK Government support.

The Trustees are aware that future plans will continue to be affected by COVID-19 and our finances and activities are therefore being kept under constant review. Plan B measures were put in place by the UK Government from 8[th] December 2021 due to the spread of the omicron variant. These measures will continue to have an impact in the UK in 2022 although the effect on our partner operations in Eastern Europe, where recovery from the virus lags the UK, is likely to be more significant and prolonged.

Updated cash flow forecasts to mid-2023 (i.e. 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements), taking into account the actual performance for the first six months of the current year, have been reviewed and, notwithstanding the continued uncertainties, the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity has the financial resources to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of this report.

The policy on grant making is that all projects that are accepted for assistance must be able to demonstrate that they fulfil the objectives of the charity. Rigorous controls and procedures are in place to ensure that grant money is spent on its intended purpose. Regular reports are received from the projects and the impact of the grants are assessed against our charitable objectives.

We have representatives on the Boards of our network partners (the main beneficiaries of the grants) to ensure a good understanding of the project and ensure that funds are expended properly and within the standards we expect from a partner.

Volunteers

Volunteers provide a valuable additional resource in the trading company, the head office, on summer trips and other events. Their contribution is invaluable.

Financial review

2021 was an exceptionally challenging year due to the continuation of COVID-19 and new variants but, thanks to a number of factors we were able to meet our income budget and fulfil all our

16

Hospices of Hope Limited

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 December 2021

commitments to our partners. We launched Easter and Christmas appeals and received a very generous response from our donors. Secondly, we were able to reinstate physical fundraising events from May including our special 30[th] Anniversary dinner on board the Belmond British Pullman which exceeded our expectations. Thirdly, we were successful with a number of grant applications and finally we received further financial support from the UK Government for our retail and trading operations.

Our expenditure was lower than budgeted partly because of the support received from the Government furlough scheme and partly due to reductions in other costs such as travel, fundraising support costs, office costs and unfilled vacancies.

The retail income has been augmented by grants from the government due to COVID-19. This is reflected in the results of the trading subsidiary whose income is derived from The Olive Tree Bistro and the sale of bought-in merchandise in all of our shops.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Investment Policy

The charity has a conservative policy on investing surplus cash and it is held on a money market and short-term deposit accounts.

Reserve Policy & Restrictions

The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy of maintaining a minimum of four months’ running costs, in unrestricted charity reserves. This charity reserve is set at this level as income generated from fundraising activities is historically uneven and costs can exceed income for a large part of the year. In their opinion this is sufficient to ensure the charity has the ability to meet its objectives in a sustainable manner.

The charity’s unrestricted reserves at the end of 2021 represented 4.3 months of running costs.

Risk

The Trustees have a policy in place for the identification and mitigation of risk and for ensuring that an appropriate system of internal control is in place and working effectively. This is reviewed and updated as appropriate at each Trustees’ meeting.

The main risk identified is the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which brings with it uncertainty related to our fundraising plans that could affect our income. However, we have learnt a lot from the experience of 2020/21 and are confident that we can continue to fulfil our commitments to our partners. If the income should suffer then commitments to the various countries could be

17

Hospices of Hope Limited

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 December 2021

reviewed in light of the reduced income. Based on these factors we do not consider the uncertainty of fundraising income will have an impact on the going concern of the charity.

While compiling this report the war between Russia and Ukraine has begun, which creates a further potential risk both to our branch in Moldova, which is very near the conflict zone, and also to fundraising as it is likely that many funders and individuals will want to support the Ukrainian people. Romania is a member of NATO and therefore is at less risk than Moldova but, as it borders with Ukraine, there is some anxiety that the war might spread but also a willingness to help its neighbour. We have launched a special appeal for Ukraine as it is in our target operational area of Eastern Europe and we are able to assist in several ways including: providing accommodation for mothers and children with special needs; admitting Ukrainian patients to our in-patient hospices and mobile services; and providing psycho-social and bereavement support in line with our articles of association. A further potential risk to our fundraising in the UK is related to rising living costs, in particular instability in the energy market.

Operational risks in Republic of Moldova will arise from the impact that COVID-19 may have on staffing levels but are primarily due to political and economic instability which is one of the reasons why we decided to operate through a branch in this country.

The Trustees are carefully monitoring the operations of all the country partners to ensure proper governance is in place.

An important source of income is derived from our shops. There are major challenges from competing charity shops, rising rents, the number of donors for whom we can receive Gift Aid and our ability to continue to attract competent volunteers. This is addressed in part by ensuring we have retail experience represented on the Board of Directors and through increased support from the Finance Committee.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Trustees of the charity provide governance, develop policy, and accept ultimate legal authority for it. The Trustees formulate and regularly review the long and short-term strategic aims of the charity as well as setting specific goals and priorities. The Trustees approve budgets and are responsible for the good stewardship of the charity resources. They work in partnership with the CEO to achieve the charity aims. The Trustees meet at least five times a year and the finance committee meets at least twice a year.

Trustee Induction and Training

Trustees are given the Charity Commission’s booklet about the responsibility of being a Trustee and a summary of the history, personnel and activities of the charity. They are invited on an orientation visit and given further opportunities for training as required. Remuneration policy for key management personnel

The remuneration of all staff is delegated to the Chief Executive and the pay is reviewed annually taking into account inflation, market rates and affordability. The Chair agrees the CEO’s remuneration taking into account the same factors. Where there are family connections, no decision is taken by a family member regarding another family member’s salary or employment terms.

Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees

The Trustees (who are also directors of Hospices of Hope Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company or group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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 group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Independent auditor’s report

to the members of

Hospices of Hope Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hospices of Hope Limited (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated and parent charitable company statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 group 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 Hospices of Hope Limited'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.

22

Independent auditor’s report

to the members of

Hospices of Hope Limited

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 trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

23

Independent auditor’s report

to the members of

Hospices of Hope Limited

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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’s and the 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 the 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

We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under 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 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 procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

24

Independent auditor’s report

to the members of

Hospices of Hope Limited

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

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 section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Hospices of Hope Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charitable company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Hospices of Hope Trading Limited a on a line by line basis. Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiary has been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the companies are disclosed in the notes of the charitable company's balance sheet.

c) Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

Covid 19 has had an impact on the activities for the current year, but the Trustees are of the opinion that the impact will not affect the ability of the charity to continue operating as a going concern because of the support of donors and the government throughout the pandemic.

The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e) Income

Income is recognised when the group has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the group has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2021

f) Donations of goods, services and facilities

Donated goods, professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the Trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain goods, services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Donated goods received which are to be sold are recognised only once sold, with no value attributed to these as stock held at the year end.

The charity receives donated goods for use in its charitable activities. The majority of these gifts are for stoma bags which have no value in the UK and have no identifiable market value in Moldova, although the value to patients is invaluable. Other medical supplies are also difficult to value. Taking this into account the Trustees have concluded that the valuation in the financial statements should not include an amount for them.

g) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

h) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

i) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

j) Grants payable

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the Trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is beyond the control of the charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

k) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Support and governance costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

l) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

m) Tangible fixed assets

Items of tangible fixed assets are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

 Freehold buildings 2% p.a. straight line

 Leasehold improvements Period of the lease

 Office equipment 20% p.a. straight line

 Fundraising equipment 10-20% p.a. straight line

Fundraising quipment includes assets relating to the bistro and retail operation.

n) Investments in subsidiary

Investment in subsidiary is at cost.

o) Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks.

p) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

q) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Purposes of restricted funds

Serbia - Funds for Serbia are donated to meet some of the costs of running BELhospice in Belgrade which was launched in June 2005.

Serbia Country Manager - An individual has committed to support the Country Manager based in Belgrade.

Moldova BMS - The fund is attached to a grant from BMS Foundation, the purpose of the project is to develop a national network of palliative care. This particular fund covers the expenses of two hospice teams in the south of the country.

Hospice Casa Sperantei - Funds to support the work of our partner in Romania in Brasov, Bucharest, Fagaras and Zarnesti.

Summer Camps - This fund is used to set up and run summer camps and holiday clubs run in Romania for patients and children who have been bereaved in previous years. The fund pays for these children to travel to and attend the activity weeks.

Bucharest Children Centre - The children's hospice is founded at Adunatii Copaceni, 18km south of Bucharest. The land and buildings were donated by the Florescu family in 2012.

Medicor Grant Children's Centre - The fund was attached to a grant from the Medicor Foundation, for the support and development of a ground breaking centre for vulnerable children and their families.

Albania - The fund was created to support the development of a national network for palliative care, replicating the succesful model from Moldova.

Otford Build- This relates to funds provided for the Otford Bistro. These funds were spent during the year as part of the larger project. The balance has therefore been released from restricted funds.

Bagpuss - Funds generated with regard to the Bagpuss rights are restricted for the children's work in Romania.
