Sam Beare Hospice (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31st March 2023
Structure, Governance and Management
Sam Beare Hospice is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In May 2006, Sam Beare Hospice, a charitable company limited by guarantee, was restructured as a wholly controlled subsidiary of Woking Hospice, a charitable company limited by guarantee which is its only member.
The Charity was formed by Woking Hospice taking over the management and operation of the Sam Beare Unit based at the Weybridge Community Hospital under a contract with the North Surrey Primary Care Trust.
Organisational Structure
Sam Beare Hospice operates under the same governance and management of the group and is governed by the same Board of Trustees who meet on a regular basis. The balance of the Board is such that it provides the hospice with the necessary skills and expertise to ensure the effective running of the hospice.
The day to day running of the Charity is undertaken by the Chief Executive and a Management Team of the parent Charity. They are tasked with making operational decisions but refer to the Board to ratify significant decisions in their meetings.
The structure of the established Governance Committees, working with the Management Team, cover all the main activities of the hospice. They have Trustee representation and chairmanship on each Committee. The Committees are comprised of senior management and Trustees.
All services are provided by the parent, Woking Hospice
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Trustees are elected to serve for a period of four years after which they must stand for re-election.
New Trustees are appointed from the population of the catchment area of the hospice according to a formal recruitment procedure. The Board constantly monitors its own skill base and aims to ensure that it has proper representation for all functions that will enable it to govern the hospice effectively. New Trustees are recruited by identifying specific skills, through the local press, other relevant media, and local organisations and where appropriate, knowledge of suitable local candidates. All potential candidates are fully vetted and go through a selection process using a sub-committee of both Trustees and senior managers who jointly recommend the most suitable person(s). Once approved, a new Trustee is co-opted until the next AGM when he or she stands for formal election.
Trustee Induction and Training
There is a formal induction programme using the existing Trustees, the Management Team, staff, and volunteers. In addition, the Trustees receive a full induction pack and ongoing training.

Remuneration policy
Trustees are not remunerated. All staff are employed by the parent Woking Hospice. Staff salaries are benchmarked against similar roles in the voluntary sector and for our clinical staff against the NHS. A Remuneration Committee consisting of Trustees is in place to approve the Management Team's salaries, which are benchmarked against similar roles within the charity sector. Further details can be found in the Financial Statements of the parent, Woking Hospice.
Board Effectiveness
Our Trustees are all distinguished figures from the world of finance, business, law, medical and clinical, marketing, and public life. These are all local community residents and are ultimately responsible for all we do. The Board of Trustees works with the Management Team to:
-
Shape the hospice’s long-term strategy and key priorities to ensure its charitable objectives are met;
-
Monitor progress and evaluate the impact of the hospice’s activities;
-
Provide vision, challenge and leadership, upholding the highest levels of integrity, finical stewardship and corporate governance.
Related Parties
As detailed in note 17 of the accounts there were no related party transactions in the year.
Achievement and Performance
Sam Beare Hospice ceased the day to day running of the Hospice in December 2016. The Charity is now maintained for fundraising and donation purposes. Any gifts received in the year are granted to the parent Charity, Woking Hospice. During the year a grant of £988k was made to Woking Hospice in order to fund End of Life and Specialist Palliative care.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
With the reallocation of services to Woking Hospice the ongoing financial risks are now within the parent, Woking Hospice.
Financial Review
The net funds generated during the year have been granted to the parent, Woking Hospice. All care and retail activities within the Sam Beare Hospice have been transferred to the parent, Woking Hospice. Active fundraising activities will also be conducted by the parent, Woking Hospice. It is very important to us that we continue to support palliative care in the area covered by Sam Beare Hospice. All future surpluses generated by Sam Beare will be granted to Woking Hospice. During the year donations of £764k [2022: £102k] were received by the Charity and grants totalling £769k [2022: £101k] were made to Woking Hospice.
Reserves
All running costs of the Charity have been transferred to the parent, Woking Hospice. This therefore negates the need for Sam Beare to hold reserves. The free reserves of Sam Beare at 31 March 2023 were Nil. All free reserves have been granted to the parent. Further details on the reserves policy can be found in the accounts of Woking Hospice.

Sam Beare Hospice (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31st March 2023
Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Woking Hospice has continued to build on its relationships with its partners within the Integrated Care Partnership (the ICP) for North West Surrey and its contract for the provision of clinical services has been renewed by the Clinical Commissioning Group.
In the current climate it is clear that new challenges are becoming more apparent. These include the pressure for further wage rises and other operational cost increases.
Recruitment continues to be challenging across the health and social care sector but we have been successful in filling our nursing vacancies. Demand for our clinical services has not reduced and our NHS partners appear to be more reliant on us than ever before.
The Finance and Sustainability Committee of Woking Hospice continues to monitor monthly financial performance against Budget and Prior Year. The Committee also focuses quarterly on cash flow forecasts on a rolling 24 month basis and annually over a 36 month basis. Despite the cost pressures noted above, our cash reserve position appears to be sufficiently strong to maintain activities at full capacity levels.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees consider that no material uncertainties exist concerning its ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Woking Hospice for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report (Including the Strategic 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 the financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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;
-
ensure that applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed in the financial statements;
-
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 rationale for the going concern basis is explained above.

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

2.2 Going Concern for Sam Beare
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties re rdin ga g the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The Hospice has continued to build on its relationships with its partners within the Integrated Care Partnership (the ICP) for North West Surrey and its contract for the provision of clinical services has been renewed by the Clinical Commissioning Group. In the current climate it is clear that new challenges are becoming more apparent. These include the pressure for further wage rises and other operational cost increases.
Recruitment continues to be challenging across the health and social care sector, but we have been successful in filling our nursing vacancies. Demand for our clinical services has not reduced and our NHS partners appear to be more reliant on us than ever before. The historic and current strategy of the trustees is to achieve its objectives through support to Woking Hospice hence the charity's going concern considerations are closely linked to its strategy.
Page 13
Sam Beare Hospice (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
The Finance and Sustainability Committee continues to monitor monthly financial performance against Budget and Prior Year. The Committee also focuses quarterly on cash flow forecasts on a rolling 24 month basis and annually over a 36 month basis. Despite the cost pressures noted above, our cash reserve position appears to be sufficiently strong to maintain activities at full capacity levels.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees consider that no material uncertainties exist concerning its ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
2.3. Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the Charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the Charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
2.4. Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Expenditure on fundraising activities includes the operation of the income generation and retail departments;
-
Expenditure on Charitable Activities includes the grant to the parent Charity, Woking Hospice Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
2.5. Support Cost Allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. 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 costs of fundraising activities and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Page 14
Sam Beare Hospice (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
2.6. Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in paragraph 1schedule 6 Finance Act 201 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. It therefore does not suffer tax on income or gains applied for charitable purposes.
2.7. Debtors and Creditors
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
2.8. Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and 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.
2.9. Financial Instruments
The Charity only holds basic Financial Instruments. Financial Instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement as financial assets or financial liabilities. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows:
Debtors – trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are classified as financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Amounts due for taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is simply an obligation to deliver charitable services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
2.10. Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
2.11. Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statement: Consideration of the going concern basis, as described above and legacy income recognition which is always on a prudent basis as we will not provide for legacies until we are certain that they will be received.

This legacy will be recognised and included once the legal matters have been concluded or adequately clarified for recognition purposes.

Sam Beare Hospice (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
19. Controlling Party
Sam Beare Hospice is a wholly controlled subsidiary of Woking Hospice, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Woking Hospice registered charity number is 1082798, with a registered company number of 03955487. The registered office address is Goldsworth Park Centre, Woking, Surrey, GU21 3LG. Woking Hospice is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity in the United Kingdom.
Woking Hospice is a patient-centred charity that delivers palliative and end of life care to people with advanced life limiting illnesses and that provides support to their carers, and families.
Whilst the income for Sam Beare is much higher this year, due to a large legacy, it has been decided not to consolidate the two entities this year. The Trustees have taken the option not to consolidate since March 2017. Legacies are inherently variable in nature and if in future it appears that Sam Beare is consistently receiving notifications of high value legacies then the point of consolidating will be reviewed again.
We are committed to retaining the Sam Beare name and therefore Woking Hospice operates as Woking & Sam Beare Hospices.
