REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objective is:- "to relieve sickness and suffering and to promote the spiritual well-being of adults in South East Lincolnshire requiring palliative care by the establishment and maintenance of a hospice and associated services."
Our strategy for achieving our objectives continues to be by developing our organisation and encouraging interaction and activities with the various communities supporting the hospice. This is achieved by networking, consultation with our partners and communities. The Trust and clinical staff and volunteers are encouraged to participate in internal discussions and support the prioritising of various areas of development. The Trust continues to develop partnership working and to encourage multi-service use of the Hospice for the benefit of patients and families.
The ongoing working relationship the Trust continues to develop with the NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is vital to ensure the provision of services most needed to serve our communities.
Fundraising is vital and we have an ongoing wide programme of fundraising activities planned for the next twelve months and these, together with our retail activity and the highly valued efforts of a number of other community organisations and corporate supporters, will continue to increase our funds. We continue to provide speakers to other local organisations in order to widen community understanding and support for our aims and objectives.
Public benefit
The activities undertaken by the charity to further public benefit include the provision of free 24-hour patient care in the hospice for those who need it funded by the income taken from the shops under the control of the charity and the fundraising activities carried out. In addition to the clinical service provided, the Butterfly Hospice provides pre and post bereavement therapy by providing compassionate, and personal support to people affected by the challenge of a life-limiting illness or bereavement. The therapy service is an organisational member of the National Counselling Society, and the National Bereavement Alliance.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Relationships with related parties
The trust continues to maintain relationships with a wide range of local and regional organisations which include other local third sector organisations, local councils, Lincolnshire NHS Trusts, NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board and others.

Achievements & Performance
A Decade of Care
The year 2023-24 was a year of celebration, as the team marked our 10[th] year of hospice care. This was the year to shout about our achievements; from an ambition that began at the turn of the Millenium to a much-needed and highly valued community service. Looking back on the 10 years since admitting our very first patient, brought about a strong sense of pride in what had been achieved year on year. More importantly the impact this has had on people’s lives as they enter our hospice doors. The team set about showcasing the work of the hospice.
To commemorate the tenth anniversary, a new 10-Year Stamp Mark, symbolising transformation, hope, and rebirth was unveiled. A Decade of Care video was also produced, capturing the stories of patrons and founding members, and celebrating the journey of the Hospice.
August 2024 gave tribute to all people past and present, who had contributed to the Butterfly Hospice Story. The pinnacle of which was the ‘Celebration of a Decade of Care’, where the community came together at the Boston Stump. This is the church where the hospice seed was sown in 2000, and where this year, local people gave thanks and remembrance for the community effort. Founding members and those new to the Butterfly Hospice, all united as one.
Butterfly Hospice staff: A Celebration of a Decade of Care at St Botolphs Church
Meanwhile at the Butterfly Hospice, the anniversary was marked with an intimate gathering of people – those needing care, their loved ones and the dedicated hospice team who are with them by their side. The Butterfly Hospice, the place where togetherness and compassion is central to the care.

A Call to Action: Sustaining our Future
Our fundraising efforts for the year, particularly for in-memory events were very well attended, Light up A Life (Winter) and Butterfly Release (Summer) both captivate our audiences and showcase the amazing work of the hospice.
Our staff, trustees and volunteers continue to promote the charity in every which way they can. Our presence across the south and east of Lincolnshire is incredibly strong – through attendance at community events, village fetes and business charity days.

Longstanding and loyal support from local golf clubs has been particularly strong, as have our connection with the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce who have been brilliantly supportive in helping us to raise our profile through their networks.
This year we have showcased 2 highly successful Casino Nights – bringing a different ‘spin of the wheel’ to our traditional fundraising activities.
Releasing a butterfly – one special moment where people come together
We enjoy our close connection with people and our Retail Division is key to our continued success in raising income, but also to share with customers the vital service provided at the hospice.
Casino Night: Hosted by Peugeot Taylor, Boston
This year we fully embraced technology and installed digital screens in the shops to bring our service into sharper focus. Feedback from the general public has been very positive, and interest in stock has been generated. Vitally people are talking about the hospice and are understanding what it does for people - the promotional video was key to this success.
The beating heart of Retail comes from our Furniture Warehouse & Donation Centre in Boston. Here we have the most superb team of staff and volunteers who provide an excellent service on site, and through their popular collections and delivery service.
Wellbeing Service Expands
Demand for the Butterfly Therapy Service continues to grow and in response, the Trust has invested in an increased team of staff.
Butterfly Therapy: A place to belong
The number of wellbeing groups have also grown, with sessions dedicated to support the social and emotional needs of people who have a lived experience of bereavement or those who have a caring role for a loved one with a life-limiting illness. Meanwhile 1:1 counselling sessions continue to run from the Therapy Village, as well as telephone, home visits and video-conference calls.
The Trust has invested into this service from legacies received, as well as being proactive in accessing grant funding. This has become a valued service in the community. With excellent links with other local groups and organisations, there is confidence that more people will continue to be helped in the years ahead.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Policy on reserves
During the year, the board of trustees conducts an annual review of the level of unrestricted reserves not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") in the general fund, by considering the risks associated with the various income streams, expenditure plans and balance sheet items. This enables an estimate to be made of the level of reserves that are sufficient: i) to allow for reorganisation in the event of a downturn of income or asset values ii) to protect ongoing work programmes. Under the constitution, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit provided appropriate advice is taken from a professionally qualified person under the Financial Services Act 1986.
Principal funding sources
The principal ongoing funding sources for the charity are currently by way of donations, fundraising activities and our retail division consisting of premises in Boston, Spalding, Horncastle, Louth, Bourne and Wisbech.
Investment policy and objectives
The trust seeks to maximise income without putting funds at risk. The trustees will continue to monitor the needs for investing funds on a regular basis.
Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, they believe the charity could provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Butterfly Hospice Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 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 Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
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 establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BUTTERFLY HOSPICE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Butterfly Hospice Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2024 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of its 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.
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 Auditors' 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 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 8
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BUTTERFLY 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.
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 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 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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:
-
we have enquired of those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
we have reviewed financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
enquired of staff engaged in the completion of VAT, tax and compliance work to identify any instances of non compliance with laws and regulations.
-
audited the risk of management override of controls including review of journal entries and large or unusual transaction, evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions outside the course of business.
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.
