Mountbatten Hampshlre Llmlted Statementfrom the CEO For year ended 31 March 2025 As my final annual report as the CEO of Mountbatten, there is an opportunity to reflect on the13St ten years or so, a time to focus on what we have achieved together, our developments, our successes, our challenges and what still needs to be done. However, we stand at a crossroads, particularly with the future financial support of hospices under critical threat from the local NHS and it is clear that we stand on the edge of a fight to stand up for what is right and what dying and bereaved people should categorically expect from the statutory sector. There is no question that Mountbatten has changed beyond all recognition in the13st ten years, both the seNices that the org3nisation delivers on behalf of our local communities, but also the sheer numbers of people that we are reaching stretching the scale of our endeavours and our influence both in and beyond the sector. There is nothing wrong with us all bein8 very proud of what we have and what we continue to achieve for those who are at their most vulnerable Mountbatten's work really matters. partScularly at this time when hospSce and end of life care are under threat within the wider UK Health and Soclal Care system through dlslnvestment in funding and financlal Investment. It is also both dlsappointlng and frustratin8 that it still remains significantly easy for the dylng and the bereaved to be Ignored within the NHS, highlighted by current funding cuts and the lack of understanding of the sector by commissioners who can no longer afford to deliver the services that our populations need and deserve. It is a sorry state of affairs to be reminded of the terrible deficlts In end of life care which were rlfe In the new National Health SeNlce of the 1940s where dylng was not part of the vision and when the new modern hospice movement rose up in protest and rebelllon, The modern hospice movement ha5 developed during the lifetime of many of us and will reach Its slxtleth anniversary In 2027. Our generation should be so rightly pleased of this achievement, where we have protested against a Health and Social Care sector who in the past so easily misplaced and forgot the dying, foolishly thinking that they cannot come back and complain about the lack of care they have received. As the dying and the bereaved are marginallzed once more, it is Mountbatten's job to both complain and to campaign and we must never stop doing thls. It has become clearer to me over the past decade, that through our public engagement work and Advance Care planning drive, our local communitie5 understand Mountbatten's commitment and service to them more and more. Through listening to those who live locally and hence delivering both what our local population want and need when they and their loved ones are at thelr most vulnerable, Mountbatten remains firmly In the hearts and minds of those who are touched by our devastating duo of expertise and kindness. This web of intense and dedicated relationships remalns Mountbatten's most powerful weapon. The support we have through our many fundraising and income generation activities is also qulte simply extraordinary. As demand grows and Mountbatten's services become more stretched, the understanding and commitment from those who live across our catchment areas matters more than ever and will continue to do so whilst healthcare commissioners contlnue to ignore their responsibilities to those they are meant to be servlng, It seems to me that we are on the verge of a battle with our local healthcare commissioners. Thls battle wlll not be between Mountbatten and them, but between our local communities and them. I know that our local populatlon wlll not slt back and see their commitment to Mountbatten's vision and mlsslon be destroyed. Dylng and bereavement are major events In all of our lives and when we are facing both of these Issues we deserve the very best from those who are trusted to both fund and to provide the care we need. I wish Mountbatten well a5 It stands on the ver8e of a new era and wholeheartedly 5UPPOrt the appointment of Becky Mc Gregor as my succe550r. I will alway5 continue to support thi5 remarkable organisation from the sidelines and will always be prepared to take my place on the battlefield to ensure that our communities will always receive the expert15e and kindness they des rve when they come to the end of their lives or when they face bereavement.

Mountbatten Hampshire Limited Trustees, Report {Includlng Dlrector< Report) For year ended 31 March 2025 Working in partnership to tackle the disparity in accessing our care Mountbatten Hampshire has held Independent status since April 2019 and during thi5 time, changes have been made to broaden the seNices we provide to the population we support. Our caseload has grown. the walting list obliterated. referrals to our bereavement and psychosocial services have increased and the café in our Hazel Centre provides a social space for patients, their families, carers, and our community. Despite these achievements, we know an inequlty exists within the populations we serve. We are experts in our field, we know that, but we aren't yet experts in understanding the needs of under-represented groups. So, we talked to the experts the people who know the communities; faith leaders,. hostel workers- community groups,. local clergy; homeless charities, and our own staff. The effect has been tangible, relationshlps are beginning to form and trust In the knowledge that we genuinely want to be there for our entire population is being established. One area of focus has been homelessness and users of substances. An end-of-llfe forum convened In February 2023 and contlnues to meet quarterly to discuss and understand the issues faced by this 8roup of people and the challenges encountered by our Mountbatten nurses and the hostel workers who supportthem. As a result, Mountbatten, In collaboratlon wlth the Homeless Healthcare team and hostel staff has produced a bespoke Advance Care Plan, establSshed end-of-life trainln8 needs of hostel staff, and supported a monthly drop-in service at Patrick House. Issues surrounding the safe storage of controlled drugs and the efficacy of end-of-life medicines are Just some of the challen8es being worked through currently. The impact of our nurses working alongside the homeless healthcare team has seen individuals, curloslty turn to trust, with opportunities taken to discuss individual personal experiences. Early near-death events have resulted in conversations around end-of-life wishes and the reality of what their expectations might look like; the challenges of detox in dlfficult environments,. and support to put Wills Sn place. Dr Susan Goddard GP lead of the Homeless Healthcare team commented, "IVS been 8reat havln8 the Mountbatten nurses at the hostel. Dying is on many of our patients, minds, even thou8h they might not admit it. So, it Is comfortln8 for them to have the opportunity to explore their feelings about St." Page 8

Mountbatten Hampshlre Llmited Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of Mountbatten Hampshire Limited Foryearended 31 March 2025 Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, Including fraud Irre8ularities, includi ng fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We deslgn procedures in line with our responsibilities, Outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Councll's website, to detect material misstatements in respect of i rregularities, includinB fraud. We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audlt procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. In response to the risk of irregularitie5 and non-compliance wlth laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures whlch included.. Enqulry of management and those charged with 8overnance around actual and potentlal litlgation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. Revlewlng mlnutes of meetln8s of those charged with 8overnance,' Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations consldered to have a direct materlal effect on the financlal statements or the operatlons of the entity through enquiry and inspection,. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentatlon to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulation5; Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, includlng testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potentlal bias. Because of the Inherent limltatlons of an audit, there is a r15k that we will not detect all irregularlties, including those leadlng to a material mi55tatement in the f inancial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Thi5 risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less Ilkely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omlssions, mlsrepresentations, or the override of internal control, 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 Companles Act 2006, Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable companvs members those matters we are required to state to them In an auditorfs report and for no other purpose.

Creditors and provlslons are nomially reco8nised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Flnanclal Instruments The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section Il'8asic Financlal Instruments, and Sectlon 12 '0ther Flnancial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its flnancial instruments. Flnancial instrument5 are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of fhe instrument.

Mountbatten Hampshire Llmlted Notes to the Flnancial Statements For year ended 31 March 2025 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Impalrment of fln3ncial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and 105s, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Flnancial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impai red, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognlsed, the impaimient is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Oeretognltlon of flnanclal assets Flnanclal assets are derecognlsed only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfer5 the financial asset and substantially all the rlsks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some slgnificant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that Is able to sell the asset in it5 entirety to an unrelated third party. Classlficatlon of financlal liabillties Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered Into. An equlty instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest In the assets of the company after deductlng all of its liabilitles. Baslc flnancial liabllltles Basic financial Ilablllties, incl udln8 credltors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companles, are Inltially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constltutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payment5 discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities cla5slfied as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortlsed cost, uslng the effective interest rate method. Trade creditor5 are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired In the ordSnary course of business from suppliers. Amount5 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 initlally at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Mountbatten Hampshire Limited Notes to the Flnancial Statements For yeaf ended 31 March 2025 ACCOUNTING POUCIES (continued) Pensions The charities contribute to the NHS Superannuation pension scheme for certain qualifying employee5. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charities in an independently administered fund. The pension charge represer)ts contrlbutions payable by the charity to the fund. It is a multi-employer scheme and the charities are unable to identify their share of the underlying assets and li2 bilities. It is therefore accounted for as though it were a defined contribution scheme. The group also provides a defined contribution pension scheme for staff other than those within the NHS superannuation pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in separately administered fund. Pension costs relating to employees recharged from the NHS Trust are not Identlfled separately and are included in wage costs, on a defined benefit basis. Judgements and key sources of estlmatlon uncertalnty In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assurnptlons about the carryin8 amount of assets and Ilabilltles that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on hlstorical experlence and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may dlffer from these estimates. The estlmates and underlyln8 assumptions are reviewed on an on8oln8 basis. Revisions to accountlng estlmates are reco8nised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period. or in the perlod of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Management do not consider there to be any key estimates or judgement5 in the preparation of these financlal statements. Page 46

Mountbatten Hampshire Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For year ended 31 March 2025 19. NHS Pension Scheme The charities operate an NHS Pension Scheme. The scheme is an unfunded, deflned benefit scheme that covers NHS employees, general practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State, in England and Wales. The scheme is not designed to be run in a way that would enable each body to identify its share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme. Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the two NHS Pension Schemes. Details of the benefits payable and rules of the Schemes can be found on the NHS Pensions website at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/pensions. Both are unfunded defined benefit schemes that cover NHS employers, GP practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary af State for Health and Social Care in England and Wales. They are not designed to be run in a way that would enable NHS bodies to identify their share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, each scheme Is accounted for as if it were a deflned contribution scheme.. the cost to the NHS body of participating in each scheme Is taken as equal to the contributions payable to that scheme for the accounting perlod, In order that the defined benefit obllgations recognised in the financlal statements do not differ materially from those that would be determined at the reporting date by a formal actuarial valuation, the FReM (Government Financial Reportlng Manuall requires that "the perlod between formal valuatlons shall be four years, wlth approxlmate assessments In intervenin8 years" An outline of these follows: a) Accounting valuatlon A valuation of scheme liability is carried out annually by the scheme actuary (currently the Government Actuarvs Department) as at the end of the reporting period. This utilises an actuarial assessment for the previous accounting period in conjunction with updated membership and financlal data for the current reportin8 perlod, and is accepted as providing suitsbly robust figure5 for financial reporting purp05e5. The valuatlon of the scheme Ilability a5 at 31 March 2021, is based on valuation data as 31 March 2020, updated to 31 March 2021 with summary global member and accounting data. In undertaking thls actuarial assessment, the methodology prescribed in IAS 19, relevant FReM interpretations, and the discount rate prescribed by HM Treasury have also been used. The latest assessment of the liabilities of the scheme Is contained in the report of the scheme actuary. which forms part of the annual NHS Pension Scheme Accounts. These accounts can be viewed on the NHS Pensions website and are published annually. Copies can also be obtained from The Stationery Office. b} Full actuarial {fundlngl valuatlon The latest actuarial valuation undertaken for the NHS Pension Scheme was completed as at 31 March 2020. The results of this valuation set the employer contribution rate payable from April 2024 to 23.7% of penslonable pay.
