FleseNes
The opening of The Hangar, a new and innovative retail experience, in Rochester has had a positive impact on
Ihe results for the year with £109.022 being added to the new book value of fixed assets from the Charity's
accumulated funds being bought forward. The development of this project and luture projects will be carefully
managed from the operating cash flow of Ihe Charily. This will in turn impact further donations to Wisdom
Hospice Charily in the short term but the added income from the expansion to the retail operations will lead to
the Charity's ability lo make increased donations in Ihe future. Progress and future donations to Wisdom
Hospice Charity will be regularly considered by the Board of Directors.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the loreseeable future. For this reason, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the
adoption of the going concern basis can be found in Ihe Accounting Policies.
Financial risk management objectlves and pollcles
The Trustees have a risk managemenl stralegy which comprises an annual review ol the principal risks and
uncertainlies that the charitable company faces and the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to
rnitigate these risks.

Tru8tee8' report
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Reserves pollcy
The charitable company's unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2025 were £396,570 (2024: £343,250).
General funds are unrestricted or free reserves which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
The Trustees regard the level of unrestricted reserves in Ihe charitable company at 31 March 2025 as an
appropriate minimum level taking into accounts our future plans and they anticipate that donations of grants in
accordance with the charitable company's principal objective will generally be made of surplus funds
generated above this level.
In setting the minimum level of free reserves required the Truslees considered the risks set out in the Risk
management section, below.
The unrestricted reseNes after removing the value of tangible lixed assets as at the year-end were £206,376
(2024: £256,860). The Trustees consider this posilion to be ac￿ptable as the charitable company has the
ongoing support of its parent undertaking.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, in particular those
related to Ihe operations and finances of the charitable company and are satisfied that systems and
procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The risks associated with the cost of living
crisis were considered as part of the assessment.
The Trustees consider the main risks to be as follows..
1)
The loss of the good reputation of The Wisdom Hospice or Wisdom Hospice Charty as a charity. which
would affect the charitable company's abilty to encourage donations for sale in its shops.
A change in current customer buying habits due to their re-evaluation of their need for second-
handldonated goods.
The reduction or removal ol rate relief from local councils.
2)
31
All risks are considered by the Board on a regular basis and efforts are made to mitigate any risks where
p)ssible.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Future developments
The charitable company will continue to run its charity shops in order to make donations of grarrts to Wisdom
Hospice Charty. The charitable company will continue to look to expand Iheir retail operations across Medway
and Swale. In March 2025 the second phase of the Hangar was acquired and opened in July 2025. This
second phase, a Distribution Centre, will support the expansion in sales at all retail outlets across Medway and
Swale this growth will include online platrorms such as eBay which will be developed in ils new bespoke studio
al The Hangar.

Responslbllltles of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement, 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
stalements and for being satisfied that they give a twe 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 concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidat8 the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audlt of the flnanclal 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 Auditorfs 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 misststement 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 Influen￿ 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 bebw:
How the audit Was considered capable of detecting iffegulan"Èies, including frnud."
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including
fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows..
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with managemenl, and
from our commercial knowledge and experience in the sector:
we focused on sp￿lfi¢ laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
accounts or the operations of the charitable company, including the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies
Act 2006;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of management and inspecting correspondence; and
identified laws and regulations We￿ communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert lo
instances of non-compliants throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's accounts to material misststement, including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the intemal controls in pla¢e to mitigate risks of frdud and non-compliance with laws and
regulalions.
Page 9

Wisdom Hosplce Support
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Wlsdom Hospice Support (contlnued)
To address the risk of fraud Ihrough management bias and override of Controls, we..
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
tested joumal entries to identify unusual transactions:
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the
accounting polici8s were indicative of potential bias- and
invests'gated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In r8sponse to the risk of i￿egUlar1tieS and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed proGedures
which included, but were not limited to:
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporling documentation.
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governan￿. and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audil procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-wmpliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit Procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if
any.
Material misststements that arise due to fraud Can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they
may involve d81ib8rate conc8alm8nt or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website al: www.frc.or

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable companls members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of
income received for specbfic purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant
funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its
recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs
before income is received. the income is accrued.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have
been provided or on completion of the seprfice.
On re￿IPt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of

investment income in the Statement of Financial Activrties.
2.8 Tanglble flxed assets and d•prociation
All assets are capf(alised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or
value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at COSt. After recognition, under the c05t model, tangible
fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impaimient
losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be
included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tsnglb￿ fixed assets less their residual value
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings
Over the lease term
200/0 Straight line
2.9 Debtors

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past
event. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefrt will be required in settlement, and the amount
of the settlement can be eslimated reliably.
Liabilities are r￿Qgnised al the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the
debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or seTViC8S it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the lim8 value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflect5 the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount IS fecognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as 8 finance cost.
