The main functions ofthe charity team are to fundraise or to provide administrative and finance support. One member of staff directly works with patients to provide advice on welfare benefits and another work5 within the aromatherapy team. The focus for fundraising is to raise about £1.8m annually to support the costs for the service delivery teams shown on page 6. The £1.8m is principally NHS staffing costs, however, the charity also provides other nursing and medical equipment to improve patient treatment and comfort. Our wards at the Christchurch Macmillan Unit can accommodate 16 patients. The￿ are 5 private rooms and a guest bedroom. Patients are admitted to the unit for many reasons including a short stay to adjust medication or for the final days and hours of life. Whatever the reason, we are there to care for them and their families in the best way possible providing an exceptional stsndard of care and a homely environment. We care for cancer patients and those with life limiting illne55es such as Motor Neurone Disease or COPD. The Macmillan Unit wa5 awarded 'Practice Development ststus, making it a Centre of Excellence for Palliative Care. The unit also received The Princess Royal Training Award, for the training and development of their volunteers in 2017 and were very proud to earn the Queen's Award for Voluntsry Service in 2018. Many other patients are cared for in the community or at home. The teams continue to see an increased number of patients as shown in the clinical review on page 10.

Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 (I Macmlllan Hospice at Home {H@H) The primary aim of the H@H service is to enable patients with complex needs to die at home if it is their preferred place of care. The team provides care 24-7, 365 days a year. This care is hands-on and focused on complex palliative patients in the last 4 weeks of life. The service was started in April 2022, initially operating during daytime hours, and expanded in January 2023 to provide a 24-hour service. In 2024 there were 181 referrals. In 2025 there were 195 referrals. Since May 2025 the service has expanded and is now working together with Forest Holme Hospice. The H@H team now has a total of 14 full and part time staff, consisting of 2 team leads, 4 nurse5 and 8 health care support workers and is led by Matron for Hospice Inpatient and H@H Debbie Waters. Support is provided to patients who require admission to the inpatient unit or to prevent hospital admission Icrisisl pending alternative 5UPPOrt being provided. H@H aims to support rapid discharge from hospital or hospice to enable someone who is imminently dying to get home and be cared for in their preferred place of care at the end of life. The team offer expert clinical care during a period of high emotional stress to patients and families. This emotional and psychological support is imperative and during their visits the team are able to offer time and reassurance. We recognise that hospice at home nursinE is clinically complex and emotionally demanding so we ensure that effective support is offered to maintain safe care, staff wellbeing and service sustainability. Supportrng our team improves the quality, safety and experience of patient and families under our care. Education The opportunity to provide educational courses in 2025 was limited by stsffing constraints. Despite this, a couple of essential courses were provided. In April we hosted the "Allow a Natural Death" training at AFC Bournemouth Vitality Stsdium. This specialised training is aimed at registered nurses and covers the law and policies around AAND as well as the complexities of the actual conversation. Training was provided to 23 delegates who all gave feedback of "Very Good/Excellent" Delegates had the space to explore different approaches and communication style5 and reported that they felt more confident and empowered in having these extremely difficult conversations. In conjunction with Forest Holme and Weldmar Hospice our MND team provided face-to-face training to staff from local care agencies. A total of 52 delegates attended courses throughout the year. Delegates told us the training was.eye opening" and educational. Feedback showed that delegates felt more confident in caring for patients with MND. Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 Macmlllan What we want to do Fundraising 2024 was the celebration of our 501h year of service to our community and represented bumper year of fundraising. In 2025, we wanted to build on both the success of association with our 2024 Golden Partners and continue to engage our wonderful team of volunteers in our community fundraising. The charity recruited a team of over 50 volunteers to help at the fundraisin8 events and without this wonderful team. the range, diversity and number of community events would not be possible. We organi5ed and supported 122 events in 2025. Increase Awareness We set and met an ambitious goal for fundraising in 2025 and continue to work on our strategy for marketing the charity. We look to build on the publicity gained in recent years through print, radio and television. Our animated film ￿hat If" created by a student from the Arts University, is an amazing addition to our fundraising resource and featured in 2025 appeals. The Hospice at Home service was put under the spotlight with a moving video of Jade Carpenter. whose brother James was cared for by the team. It has helped generate over £50,000. The charity contributes to the Hospice UK legacy campaign which promotes legacy giving to h05pices in national TV advertisements. In 2025. legacies represented 73% of the charity's income and as such represent a vital source of funds to meet the cost of continuing services. The campaign airs in both February and September 2026. Rebuild the Macmillan Unit We aspire to rebuild the hospice at Christchurch Hospitsl which is reaching the end of its serviceable life. Patient referrals to our service have si8nificantly increased over the last five years. The existing unit was built in 1974 and is too small for the number of people under our care. Designs for a new hospice were signed off in 2019, but the covid pandemic prevented progression. Since the pandemic, there has been a considerable increase in the costs of materials and labour. An initial £5m towards the rebuild was paid over to UHD in 2018 and the charity continues to receive some donations which are held in our restricted funds. £25k has been received in 2025 through donations and legacies. There are several plans being discussed. and costed. for the development of the next chapter of our hospice story. To ensure that the charity save5 towards the objective of a new or refurbished unit, the Trustees have pledged to re-allocate funds from unrestricted funds towards thi5 project. The Board have agreed to allocate surplus unrestricted funds over 5 years from 2023 to 2027. The reserves policy has been amended to reflect this decision as highlighted on Page 14. The effect of this change in reserves policy means that the charity has ringfenced £4.021,486 towards the capital project. Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 Macmlllan Chairman's Statement On behalf of Macmillan Caring Locally and the Board of Trustees, l am privileged and delighted to welcome you to our Annual Report for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. direction now from Government and the NHS make this service an essential constituent of the future of palliative care in the UK. Governance is a vital part of a charity and this is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees. It is essential that the serving trustees have the experience and qualifications necessary to fulfil their role accordingly. We are delighted to welcome three new trustee5 during 2025 in Denise Bannister-Gee, Claire Wade and Howard Lee. All three bring considerable skills and experiences to our Board and you can learn more about them from our website. I must pay tribute to all the people who make our work possible. including our staff and volunteers, our supporters, partners & donors. Their enduring commitment and support over many year5 is nothing short of ma8nificent. This allows us to continue our vital work in making a real difference to people having to face life-limiting illness and the associated problems they and their families have to face. We are indebted to the remarkable palliative care nursing teams from University H05Pitals Dorset, who provide their care within our Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital and in our community. We continue to aspire to having a new or modified building to replace the existing Macmillan Unit, which is now 50 years old and is beyond modification in its present layout & condition. We continue to appraise the option5 available to us. given the vastly increased costs associated with this from our original plan some years ago. In 2024, we had our 50, year anniversary and it gave us the chance to acknowledge our founder Dr Ronald Fisher, whose profound vision then enabled our Macmillan Unit to be built as the first hospice in the state 5VStem. Needless to say, the fundraising initiatives and results in 2024 were astounding by any measure. This year we have seen the momentum continue and ourgrateful thanks go to our fundraising teams, our long-term SUPPOrters and all our supporters and donor5. We thank them for their continued generosity. The trustees are confident that with the continued support of ourvalued community, we will continue to provide our essential services for many years to come. This year we launched our Hospice at Home IH@Hl appeal and the early results look promising so far. This is a much needed dedicated, personally tailored support by our nurses to patients under palliative care who prefer to spend their final days at home in the comfort of their own surroundings.

CoUn￿e5 Macmillan Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 Macmlllan Financial Review Income for the year ended 31 December 2025 is £3,117,893, a decrease of £1,226,741 from the previous year, largely attributable to a decrease in legacies, following a particularly strong year for these in 2024. However, the estimated value of future legacies, neither received nor included in 2025 income, remains healthy and the charity continues to support the Hospice UK legacy appeal. This is recognising that this is such a significant income stream for Macmillan Caring Locally. There was some anticipation that donations, together with the top-up from gift aid, might th suffer following the 50 year celebrations. However, in fact the opposite has been true with these being £119,766 higher than 2024. The charity team and all our volunteers have worked incredibly hard to make this happen. The importance of hospice care to the local community continues to be reflected in the support of loyal donors. fundraisers and local businesses. However, by their very nature, these income streams do fluctuate. Costs year on year are relatively stable and reasonably predictable. The most significant cost to the charity in 2025 is the £1,700,0(KJ contributed to University Hospitals Dorset for staffi'ng costs for the service delivery teams as set out on Page 6. At 31 December 2025, Grove invoicing and recognition of rental costs against the Grove lease were moved back to the old, unincorporated charity. All credit notes for 2022 to 2025 were raised at this date and this has resulted in a cumulative adjustment to rental income and costs. These are further explained in notes 4 and 5 to these financial statements and also in the financial statements of the old, unincorporated charity, registered number 268218. There has been no loss of funds or harm to any person or group of persons as a result of the adjustments. The charity's investments with CCLA have underperformed against benchmarks and there will be an adjustment to investment strategy in 2026. Also, as interest rates continue to fall, but the charity has more cash to invest, a revised strategy is imperative to make the funds work harder to be able to address the future of the hospice building on the Christchurch site. The cash flow statement shows another positive net cash inflow of £826,843 in 2025. The surplus for 2025 is £996,046 compared to the previous year where the surplus was £2,065,229. The charity is looking to the future and is con5CiOUS that the ambition to rebuild the Macmillan Unit at Christchurch has become more expensive. The Board decided to designate surpluses arising from 2023 to 2027. as funds specifically targeted for the rebuild projert. Therefore. at the 2025 year-end a further £996,046 has been transferred from general unrestricted funds to designated funds to enable this project to commence in a reasonable timeframe. With the restricted capital appeal, plus £5 million already handed over to UHD, there is now just over £9 million saved toward5 this project. Reserves policy Our reserves policy is to hold unrestricted free reserves to cover 12 months of operating costs. This policy is considered sufficient having taken into account the variable nature of legacies. Page 114 Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 Macmillan This mean5 that the charity has to keep in hand about £2rn of cash on relatively short-term deposit. As at 31 December, the charity has £3,375,797 in unrestricted free reserves which meets our required reserves policy of 12 months of expenditure. The Board took a decision to move reserves from unrestricted to designated at the end of 2025. £966,046 of re5erve5 have been transferred. This is to support the capital project to rebuild andlor refurbish the Macmillan Unit. The Board of Trustees will continue to actively review the risks faced by the charity and discuss these in relation to our reserve5 level. Structure, Governance and Management Macmillan Caring Locally's governing document is a Trust Deed dated July 1974. as subsequently amended in 2018. Following receipt of professional advice and agreement by the Charity Commission, the Trust established a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ICIO) in May 2020. The assets and business of the Trust lexcluding the leaseholdl were transferred on l January 2022 and registered with the Charity Commission with registration number 1189412. The Board The Board currently comprises ten Trustees. A list of Trustees who have served during the year can be found on page 3 and further information about their backgrounds. experience and interests can be found on the Macmillan Caring Locally website. Following a review of the Board's strersgths and weaknesses, during 2024 and 2025. the charity successfully recruited several new Trustees. A new Chair was appointed in 2025 to start to address the issue of succession planning. The skills audit has highlighted some gaps in experience potentially arising in the future and these will continue to be addressed by appropriate recruitment. All Trustees give their time freely and no remuneration was paid during the year in respert of their position as Trustee. Governance The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall strategy and policie5 of the charity and meet four to six times a year. Responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Trust is delegated to the Trust Secretary. Trustees set the remuneration policy of the Trust annually considering matters such as performance. cost of living and charity market fartors. Trustees set the investment policy of the Trust in the context of the overall budget and reserves policy. Day-to-day management is delegated to the Financial Controller. Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 (I Macmillan Trustees are encouraged to visit the Macmillan Unit regularly and to familiarise themselves with the work of the Trust, in addition to being informed by regular bulletins and updates. Briefings are given at all the Board meeting5 by the Leadership team. UHD consultants and staff and other advisors where necessary. Trustees have carefully considered the fundraising activities of the charity and have made the decision to not employ external fundraisers. There is a small team of Trust employees who fundraise for the charity under the supervision of the Trust Secretary and Fundraising Director. Fundraising policies are monitored by the Trustees who would be briefed with reports on any complaints received and any actions taken. No complaints have been received to date. Public Benefft Charity Trustees have a duty to carry out their charity's purposes for the public benefit.

Risk Management The Trustees consider annually a statement of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and consider the actions to be taken in mitigation of these risks. Disclosure of Information to Auditor Each Trustee has taken the steps they ought to have taken as a Trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The Trustees confirm there is no relevant information they know of and which they know the auditor is unaware. Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 Macmlllan Responsibilitses of the Directors and Trustees The trustees (who are also the director5 of Macmillan Caring Locally for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for preparing the trustees, report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards Iunited Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial ststements for each financial year.

Reasonable a55urance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 15 detailed below: A5 part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Charity. We gained an understanding of the Charity and the sector in which the Charity operates as part of thi5 assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affectingthe Charity- As part ofthis, we reviewed the Charity's website for an indication of any regulations in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were Charity legislation, health and safety regulations and breaches of The General Data Protection Regulation l GDPR"). We also considered those laws and regulation5 that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP - FRS 102. We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the Charity complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the Charity's ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following: > Enquiries of management and trustees regarding their knowledge of any non- compliance with laws and regulation5 that could affect the financial statements. As part of these enquirie5, we also discussed with management whether there have been any known instances, allegations or suspicions of fraud. > Reviewed fllings With the Charity Commission and whether there were any serious incident reports made during the year. > Discussed with management if any health and safety incidents have been recorded during the year. > Review of the GDPR policy and enquiries to management as to the occurrence of any reportable breaches. Reviewed legal and professional costs to identify any possible non-compliance or legal costs in respect of non-compliance. > Reviewed Board minutes. > Audited the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. > Reviewed estimate5 and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias. Pagfv 120 Macmillan Caring Locally Annual Report 2025 (I Macmlllan > Audited the risk of fraud in revenue recognition Icompleteness and valuation of legacies), including analytical procedures and substantive testing of legacy income from sources external to the accounting system. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.
