REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (including Directors Report)
The Trustees who are also directors and members 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 31st March 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the 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).
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims of Alexander Devine are to support life limited and life threatened children and their families and carers. This is within their own homes through Alexander’s nurses, whether in Berkshire or the surrounding areas, or in the hospice itself. Our ethos is “to reach out to every child and family that needs us”.
ACHIEVEMENTS
HOSPICE
The position of the hospice is ideal for the needs of the children and their families with excellent motorway links between East and West Berkshire and South Bucks. The building was opened in June 2018 and currently provides day care, hydrotherapy, bereavement and sibling support. The service will be further expanded in a phased way reflecting the availability of staff and funds.
SERVICE
Alexander’s Nurses continue to provide regular, quality respite, end of life care and bereavement support to many families in Berkshire and into surrounding counties. With the hospice now open to day care, our parents can choose between support at home and/or in our purpose built hospice. Our ongoing work continues to recognise the significant gap in regular respite care and choice of service for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families. Our aim has always been to provide a seamless service that supports frequent year-round care throughout the child’s life. We aim to offer accessible, responsive, flexible and frequent care to meet the individual needs of a child and that of their family: care delivered when and wherever they need it. Whilst the pandemic has meant that the charity has had to change its way of working, Alexander’s Nurses have continued the service throughout the year.

A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report in February 2017 resulted in an overall rating of ‘GOOD’ and it reported:
“We saw children and young people received care and support in a personalised way. Complex medical needs were managed by staff who were well trained to deliver specialised care and support. Children and young people said they felt safe with staff.”
In March 2021, we sought feedback on families’ experience of the service. 30 parents responded and 97% rated the overall experience of the service as excellent or very good and 93% said Alexander’s care team is always approachable and responsive.
Alexander’s Care Team, led by the Director of Care and supported by the Lead for Quality and Governance, is registered with CQC and operates under their quality standards. By the

end of the year, as well as the Director of Care, Lead for Quality and Governance and Matron who are medically qualified, the team directly employed ten nurses, two play specialists and three carers. With the appointment of Clinical Nurse Specialists we have been able to extend the service provision improving care for children and families. The
Clinical Nurse Specialist service provides assessment and symptom management. There is also a contract with the Royal Berkshire Hospital for the assistance of a paediatrician for two hours of medical support a week.
The charity has implemented a new way of recording the output of care staff in order that management, funders and other interested parties can fully understand the impact that the team are making. For this reason, no comparative figures are available.
The number of families the team supports has continued to grow and by the end of March had increased to 143 (2020: 133). We are finding that the cases referred to us are becoming more complex such that where a visit previously could be made using just one member of staff, this increasingly needs two.
The community team has spent 5,924 hours providing care including respite and telephone consultations, 3,319 hours have been spent on day care, respite, hydrotherapy and general care in the hospice and our clinical nurse specialists have spent 2,431 hours providing support. In addition our play team has spent 2,452 hours giving support to our families and our music specialist has spent 328 hours providing music therapy. In total, 14,454 hours have been spent on delivering care to our families.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The charity had planned to continue to grow and expand services in 2020/21 and had already employed several staff before the COVID-19 virus hit the country. This has caused us to halt further expansion and do everything we can to reduce costs. We suffered a large drop in income with many of the companies and groups that provide a significant proportion of our income closing for a period of time and almost all suffering drops in income. We also cancelled our ball and a number of other events. We furloughed up to 14 staff (mostly fundraisers) and sadly had to make six fundraisers redundant. We have received income from NHS England to assist us to continue in operation. For 2021/22, as restrictions ease, we hope to continue the expansion of our service. However, without the one off COVID-19 income we expect a significant drop in income for the year. Cash flow projections have been made and although these show a significant loss in 2021/22, the Board are happy that with the reserves we have in place, the charity can survive as the situation improves and funding slowly recovers. The charity will then be in a position to continue expanding the service, in line with the strategic plan, with the fundraisers actively seeking opportunities to develop other income streams to ensure that our service is sustainable in the long term.
The future expansion will be phased in to reflect the availability of staff and funds.

GOVERNING DOCUMENT
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 27th March 2006 and registered as a charity on 25th April 2007. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which sets out the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Articles were last updated on 5th October 2017. The charity operates as Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service.
All members of the Charity apart from Mrs Fiona Devine, give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Mrs Devine works full time for the charity and received permission from the Charity Commission to be paid for this work. Her costs of employment and all expenses claimed by Trustees in the execution of their duties are reported in note 8 to the financial statements. The Trustees have carried out a skills audit to ensure that the Board has the necessary spread of skills to ensure good governance. They look to fill any gaps in knowledge within their contacts and charity supporters and if they do not find suitable candidates, they will widen the spread of applicants by advertising. They ask successful candidates to attend Board meetings for a period to assess their contribution before appointing them full Trustees. There is an induction process in place for new Trustees and ongoing training is available as applicable.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
The Directors 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 UK accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and,
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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.
Each of the Trustees has confirmed that in so far as they are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and,
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
Page 6
- they 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.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees regularly consider risk at their bi-monthly meetings and are satisfied that systems in place to mitigate the impact of key risks are being observed. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations for staff, volunteers and families. A comprehensive risk register is in place which is reviewed by the senior management team on a monthly basis. The charity raises money from a wide variety of bodies ensuring that a problem with one of these would not significantly impact on the overall income of the charity. Given the phased and controlled plans to open the hospice and reserves already in place, the Trustees believe that the charity will be able to sustain the service despite the threat of reduced income due to COVID-19. They believe it will prove possible to continue expansion in a measured way.
RESERVES
The target for free reserves now stands at between twelve and fifteen months of ongoing expenditure which is between £1,629,000 and £2,037,000 based on 2020/21 costs. However, with the planned expansion of the service, these figures increase to between £1,811,000 and £2,264,000 for 2021/22. They believe this level will enable the charity to continue its activities and make all payments as they fall due whatever short-term issues may arise. The level of free reserves at the end of March 2021 was £2,128,574 (2020: £1,688,733). The Trustees are happy that this level of reserves is appropriate given the continuing uncertainty in respect of future income due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Trustees believe that they are managing risk and have a sensible and sustainable approach.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total income for the year was £1,888,773 (2020: £1,567,075), showing an increase of 21% on the previous year. The usual sources of income produced much less during the year due to the pandemic, but this was supplemented by furlough income of £82,000 and by restricted funding from NHS England of £461,000 which was given to the charity so that the service could continue and could take pressure off the NHS. We have also secured funds from East Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group to contribute towards the cost of the End of Life pathway.
Expenditure on charitable activities has increased by 32% to £1,280,888 (2020: £967,385) reflecting the expansion of the service and the increased running costs of the hospice as well as ongoing legal costs. Expenditure on raising funds has decreased by over 25% to
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
Page 7
£349,077 (2020: £468,781) reflecting the decreased level of staff required due to the pandemic and a reduction in fundraising activities.
Support and governance costs have increased by 5%. Support costs have been allocated between charitable activities and activities to raise funds based on time spent by the members of staff employed in this area. Hospice costs have increased by 39%. £130,000 of the costs relate to depreciation of the building. The legal costs mentioned in note 1c) are also charged here and account for much of the increase. Hospice costs are allocated between charitable activities and activities to raise funds on the basis of area of the building occupied. Despite the significant expansion in the service, due to the uncertainty in respect of income, it has not been possible to expand as quickly as Trustees would have wished. The net movement of funds of £258,808 (2020: £130,909) represents an increase of 98% on the previous year. The total fund is now over £10 million despite having started from nothing in 2006.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees considered the guidance offered by the Charity Commission on public benefit and have developed strategic plans to ensure their objectives, the provision of care and support to children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families, fall under the purposes defined by section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.
HISTORY
John and Fiona Devine set up the charity after identifying the need for a dedicated local children’s palliative care service within Berkshire and the surrounding area. Their experience and that of others has been one of the driving factors in making this a reality, with all credit to their amazing son, Alexander. The lack of provision for quality respite, symptom management, end of life care and family support is something that has been lacking in the county of Berkshire forcing families to travel long distances out of county to access help elsewhere. The need for a local provision has been well identified by families and health care professionals and the hospice has been opened to cater for this.
STRUCTURE
The day to day operations, strategic management and events are managed by Fiona Devine with the support of the Trustees and the five senior management staff. Fiona and the senior team have previous management experience and are suitably qualified. By the end of the year the charity employed 32 permanent members of staff with 18 of these directly involved in the provision of care. Performance is overseen by the Board of Trustees who receive regular briefings from the management and timely financial reports.

FUNDING
The charity takes the fundraising regulations seriously and is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and Fundraising Institute. The charity raises funds through its corporate contacts who raise money on its behalf, by responding to invitations to visit community groups and by approaching trusts and foundations. Fundraising from individuals is carefully controlled following industry guidelines and no cold calling takes place. No professional fundraisers were used during the year. The charity has a Volunteer Co-ordinator in post who has responsibility for overseeing volunteers and their compliance with regulations and best practice.
SPONSORS
We would like to thank all our corporate sponsors for their faith and ongoing support.
KEY MANAGEMENT STAFF PAY
The pay of key management personnel is set by the Trustees on the recommendation of the Chief Executive after the posts have been benchmarked against similar posts in other charities.
PATRONS AND VOLUNTEERS
In addition to our patrons, we have in excess of 160 volunteers who give up their time and offer endless enthusiasm for the charity. We would like to thank them all sincerely for their help.
AUDITORS
A resolution to reappoint HW Fisher LLP as auditors will be presented at the AGM.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ALEXANDER DEVINE CHILDREN’S CANCER TRUST
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet the statement of cash flows, and the 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31[st] March 2021 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity’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.
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
Page 12
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 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 our audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
• the directors' report included within the Trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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
-
• the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
Page 13
in preparing the Trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable charity for the purpose 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 charity’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.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANICAL 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 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, is detailed below.
As part of our planning process;
-
We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, The Companies Act 2006, The Charities SORP and The Charities Act 2011.
-
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
-
Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
Page 14
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
-
Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
-
Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates.
-
Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
-
Reviewing documentation such as the charity board minutes for discussions of irregularities including fraud.
-
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.
-
Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
-
Performing a physical verification of key assets
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with those charged with governance of the entity.
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. 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 auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1a. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office was moved from 122 Tinkers Lane, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 4LP to Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice, Snowball, Hill, Maidenhead, Berks, SL6 3LU in January 2021.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and "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[st] January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
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 £.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, despite the effects of COVID-19, given the reserves held, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
-
Donations and legacies are recognised as income when receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement.
-
Grants are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable, or any requirement imposed on the grant is fulfilled.
-
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Expenditure
-
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds and an apportionment of support costs.
-
Costs of charitable activities comprise all expenditure identified as wholly or mainly attributable to achieving the objectives of the charity. These costs include staff costs, wholly or mainly attributable support costs and an apportionment of support costs.

Page 20
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section11 “Basic Financial Instruments” and Section 12 “Other Financial Instruments Issues” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability immediately.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial instruments classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Items costing over £1,000 are capitalised. Office equipment – 20% on cost Computer equipment – 25% on cost Hospice equipment – 20% on cost Completed freehold buildings – 2% on cost Land is not depreciated

Page 21
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Debtors
Debtors include amounts owed to the charity for the provision of goods and services as well as amounts paid in advance for goods and services it will receive.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet short term commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes.
Cash on deposit
Cash on deposit represents monies held on a short-term basis in excess of immediate requirements which are invested to produce investment income.
Creditors
Creditors include amounts due for goods and services provided to the charity and income received in advance.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Endowment funds represent the value of the building and land. This is not readily realisable as the donors of the land restricted the use of the land.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in note 16 to the financial statements.
Support
Support costs are split between charitable activities and the cost of raising funds on the basis of the number of staff employed in each activity.

1b. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Trustees do not consider there to be any critical accounting estimates or judgements in preparing the financial statements.
1c. OTHER INCOME
£81,815 (2020: £3,451) was received in respect of furlough payments from HMRC.
The charity claimed damages for breach of covenant over land adjacent to their premises in 2017. £150,000 plus costs was awarded by the Lands Tribunal. However, the Trustees did not think this was adequate compensation and successfully appealed during the year 2018/19. The Lands Tribunal ruling was set aside and £150,000 damages were repaid. £50,000 was awarded in costs as an interim amount on account. The net amount of these transactions amounting to a charge of £100,000 was shown in other income in 2018/19. The other party made a counter appeal but were not successful. The Trustees are now negotiating suitable compensation. All costs incurred during the year are shown in note 9.

Designated funds were set aside by the Trustees for further work on the hospice and gardens and for ongoing maintenance for the hospice, and also to take account of the amounts tied up in fixed assets that cannot readily be realised.

NHS England COVID funding is funding that was awarded to allow the hospice to make available bed capacity and community support from April 2020 to July 2020 to provide support to children with complex needs in the context of the COVID-19 situation and to provide bed capacity and community support from November 2020 to March 2021 for the same purpose.
Donations have also been received to fund a play specialist as well as an additional nurse and carer.
The gardens fund was set up to raise money to construct gardens for the hospice. Donations to this fund are set against expenditure on the gardens.
A number of other donations have been received for equipment for the hospice. Some of these are restricted to specific items.
The transfers arose in respect of expenditure on gardens and equipment which was directly allocated to the balance sheet and not to the income and expenditure account.
