Grant Making
During the financial year, the charity gave grants to 22 hospices in the UK. The grants we have provided have helped hospices around the UK to purchase equipment such as new mattresses, patient transport vehicles and provide patients with many various therapy sessions.
Messages from hospices we have supported during the year:
Norfolk Hospice
"The improvements to the Inpatient Unit that your donation will provide will bring extra comfort to many patients during the last few weeks of their lives. To have this help at such a difficult time leaves a lasting legacy for the family and so the value of this donation is immense."
HospiceCare, North Northumberland
"HospiceCare is now almost back to what it was before Covid, with our bereavement and dementia cafes up and running and our walking football for dementia sufferers being held again in both Alnwick and Berwick … Your continued support is greatly appreciated by us all and we can assure you that your donation will be put to very good use."
Douglas Macmillan Hospice
"We’re thrilled at this fabulous grant and send our huge thanks. As discussed, it will be used to provide care and support to young adults in our specialised and dedicated unit. Many of them suffered greatly during the pandemic."
Overgate Hospice
"The generous support from Hospice Aid UK has helped us to continue to be here, caring for those in our community who are facing the end of their lives with dignity. We are very grateful for the generous donation you have given us here at Overgate Hospice and our patients and families is keenly felt and appreciated.
Recently, we were providing care for a patient who had a raised BMI. Sadly, he slipped from his bed during the night while trying to use the bathroom. We typically only have three nurses working during the night. Due to the weight of the patient, the overnight staff would have really struggled to assist him from the floor. A hoist and sling would have caused him a lot of pain and discomfort, and possibly not even supported his weight. He also had syringe drivers and non-invasive ventilation, so a lot of attachments/wires to manoeuvre. The staff on duty used the flat lift kit, and were able to safely move the patient from the floor back into bed in a comfortable and dignified way for both him and for all the staff involved. Jeanette, who was the nurse in charge of that shift, fed back that without this specialist piece of equipment, funded by Hospice Aid UK, she was concerned that they would have had no alternative but to make an emergency 999 call as this patient was particularly difficult to move due to his weight and the complexity of his illness."
Marie Curie
"The support of the Hospice Aid UK in June is helping Marie Curie continue to provide vital care and support to people through dying, death and bereavement. This is an incredible gift to give. Thank you for your generosity."

Fundraising activities
Fundraising approach
Hospice Aid UK relies on several different fundraising approached to raise funds from a range of sources, raising awareness of our work and allowing supporters to contribute in ways that are most appropriate for them. This includes fundraising through digital and online campaigns, emails, letters and press advertising from legacies, events, and community fundraising. And from our members and other regular supporters.
Fundraising Standards
Hospice Aid UK pays a levy to the Fundraising Regulator, and as such abides by the Code of Fundraising Practice. We abide the Fundraising Regulator’s Fundraising promise, and strive to ensure our fundraising is open, honest, legal and respectful. We are registered with the Fundraising Preference Service which enables members of the public to control the nature and frequency of direct marketing approaches that they receive, including fundraising communications. Through the Fundraising Preference Service website, members of the public can choose to stop email, telephone, post and/or text messages from a selected charity. During the financial year 14 members of the public opted out of contact from Hospice Aid UK via the Fundraising Preference Service.
Fundraising on our behalf
Hospice Aid UK requires any professional fundraising agencies working on our behalf to adhere to our fundraising standards and this is specified in our contracts with them.
Supporters are at the core of everything Hospice Aid UK achieves. It is with their continued support through our direct mail fundraising programme and the leaving of legacies that Hospice Aid UK can fund our programmes.
We work with two main fundraising organisations: - Euro DM Ltd (EDM), company number FCO 16785, which has extensive experience in advising on direct mail fundraising programmes by post and email and developing direct response material and Tom Petzal Consultants, who specialises in developing relationships with major donors. EDM, who support us by identifying potential donors, promote the charity to them and develop and maintain a database of those donors. Our relationship with EDM has led to an increase in donors overall with 80,000 new donors coming on board through EDM during the term of the agreement with the charity.
EDM acts as an extension of our staff handling all elements of the direct mail fundraising programme from copy writing to the evaluations of results.
Monitoring of fundraising activities and protecting people in vulnerable circumstances
Hospice AID UK is committed to ensuring that we always treat the public sensitively and respectfully, taking special care to protect people who may find themselves in vulnerable circumstances.
Complaints
Hospice Aid UK did not receive any complaints from members of the public about our fundraising activities in 2020/2021.
This does not include expressions of dissatisfaction relating to our use of specific fundraising methods which most charities will face.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity is financially dependent upon the donations and legacies made to it.
Total income for the year was £516,943 (2020: £333,875).
Donations have increased significantly by over £100,000, and legacies have increased by £77,000 which is largely due to their ad hoc nature.
Legacies include 2 legacies accrued at the year end, which were received in the following financial year.
Total expenditure was £312,372 in 2021 compared to £298,584 in 2020 as restated.
At the year end the charity had total reserves of £171,825, all of which was unrestricted.
In the current year, the prior year has been restated to reflect amounts owed to creditors as part of the agreement with Euro DM. Due to this the prior year reserves show a deficit of £32,746 as restated.
Our partnership with Euro DM Ltd
The charity has a long-standing relationship with Euro DM Ltd (EDM) with an agreement being first signed in March 2012 and subsequently renewed on 1 July 2017. The term of the contract signed in 2017 is due to expire on 1 July 2022. The total period of the contractual relationship with EDM is, therefore, 20 years. EDM is a corporate member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. EDM has expertise in direct marketing, database management and response handling and has a good reputation for helping charities reach new donors and managing donor relationships smoothly. EDM has a well-established track record in attracting new donors using the latest direct marketing methods and techniques, consolidating donor loyalty by building relationships, introducing donors to repeat donations and the benefits of Gift Aid, and identifying high-value donors and prospects for charities.
Before signing the agreement with EDM, Hospice Aid UK did not have a substantial donor database to rely on for a steady income stream. Through the agreement the charity has been able to grow a large group of loyal supporters and raise funds through direct marketing campaigns. Under the terms of the agreement the charity agreed to fund EDM's upfront costs to enable it to establish a broad supporter base. These upfront costs were funded by loans from EDM which EDM subsequently wrote off in financial years 2016, 2017 and 2019. During the term of the agreement, EDM has provided the charity with 80,000 new donors which, in the opinion of the Trustees, in terms of cost-benefit analysis, is an excellent and sustainable outcome.
At the end of this financial period the agreement had a further 15 months to run (with an end date of 1 July 2022). At the end of the agreement term with EDM (and under the terms of the agreement) all rights to the donor database vest in the charity. This is a valuable resource that the charity intends to maximise in the future to continue growing our steady income stream from loyal donors with reduced costs year on year.

HOSPICE AID UK
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Total gross donations given to the charity as a result of the agreement with EDM in this financial period were £315,285. The proportion of total receipts net of direct fees and costs that were available for the charity to spend for its general purposes was 82%.
EDM's direct fees under the agreement and other fundraising costs (£42,868) representing 18% (27% for the financial period ending 31 March 2020).
The remaining amounts were used to settle invoices incurred in the period and creditors at the year ended 31 March 2020.
Under the terms of the agreement EDM is contracted to receive 10 pence per piece of direct mail, a monthly management fee of £500 and a fee associated with the direct mail artwork that ranges from £500 to £3,500. Many of the upfront costs at the beginning of the agreement in 2012 have been covered as EDM have agreed that loans of £405,783 and £31,500 have been written off in 2017.
This has meant that significant costs in setting up the donor database have been saved and there has been a substantial increase in the funds available for the charity to further carry out it charitable purposes. EDM pass on funds raised as a monthly donation to Hospice Aid UK. The balance of donations owed will be accounted for or paid across at the end of the agreement.
Projected EDM fees to the end of the agreement term in July 2022 are 01 April 2021 to 31 March 2022: £24,923 and for 01 April 2022 to 1 July 2022: £6,379.
The performance of the agreement with EDM far exceeded our expectations at the start of the financial year. At the start of our financial year COVID-19 had broken out and we went into our first lockdown. We, along with many hospice support organisations and other charities, had to delay or cancel our fundraising events. We were expecting a very bad year. With the support of EDM we launched an emergency appeal to our donors through direct mailing. EDM agreed that, after administration costs such as postage and printing, all funds raised would go directly to support hospices. The emergency appeal through EDM was successful. Although a drop in charitable giving had been predicted because of COVID-19, with the benefit of EDM's work, we were able to ride the COVID-19 crisis while all other avenues of fundraising had to be put on hold.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity has implemented a financial controls policy and staff appraisal policy. Reporting and decision making are in the process of being reviewed in conjunction with trustee inductions and a general governance review.
We are intending to recruit more trustees who will be able to bring their own knowledge and expertise to the charity, to compliment the skill base that we have. Trustee training will also be provided in light of the number of additional trustee appointments after the year end.
Our Nightrider cycle places had been deferred to June 2022.
We will continue to work with Euro DM to raise funds with them under the agreement until 1[st] July 2022. The fundraising environment continues to be challenging particularly because of the Covid 19 pandemic in the UK. A key focus for the upcoming year will be corporate sponsorship and one high profile event; a charity song composed by, our patron, Debbie Wiseman and written by, lyricist, Don Black.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under {art 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligable for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statements of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities.
I have no other concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Hospice Aid UK is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered address is 6th Floor, 9 Appold Street, London, EC2A 2AP.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charitable Company is a public benefit entity for the purposes of 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.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The charitable company has taken advantage of the exemptions available not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The principal accounting policies, which are applied consistently, are set out below.
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 the approval of the financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company’s forecasts and projections and have taken into account the pressures on donation and grant income. In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and, while some projects have been delayed it is not anticipated that this will affect the charity’s ability to continue its charitable objects in the short to medium term.
Having carried out a detailed review of the Charity's resources and the current economic challenges facing both the Charity and its members the Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on the going concern basis.
In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
All income is accounted for when there is evidence of entitlement, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
Voluntary income including donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when For legacies, entitlement is taken at the earlier of the date on which either; the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executors to the charity that a distribution will be made, or where a distribution has been received from an estate.
Donations are received by Euro (EDM), legacies, postal donations and credit card donations are processed in the charities bank account.
EDM provide an monthly amount to Hospice Aid UK which formns part of the total donations receivable in the year.
13
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation for payment to be made.
Costs are disclosed in the following categories
-
Governance costs are the costs associated with the strategic direction of the organisation and with meeting regulatory requirements.
-
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources including a split of staff costs between promoting & raising awareness of activities and support costs.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued.
All fixed assets with a value over £250 are capitalised at cost, being their purchase cost together with any incidental expenses at acquisition, and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Compuer equipment
Straight line over 3 years
A review of fixed asset lives and impairments is undertaken on an annual basis.
The charity makes contributions on behalf of employees to their individual personal pension schemes during their period of service, at a rate fixed by the Trustees.
Operating lease and rental costs, where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor have been charged to expenditure as they arise.
Unrestricted funds are received and applied for the general objects of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to such restrictions as specified by donors and are utilised in accordance with donors' wishes.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.
