MPC is a grant-funding charity committed to supporting the Midhurst Specialist Palliative Care Service (the Service), provided by Sussex Communtty Foundation NHS Trust (SCFT). Since its registration as a charity in August 2021, MPC has been able to develop all the necessary attributes for a charitable organisation ofour size, so that in this financial period we were able to commence providing regular quarterly grants of money to SCFT. This gives us great satisfaction, reflecting the importance of the Service to those in West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey who benefit from the skill, hard work and compassion of the multi-disciplinary team of nurses, doctors and other health-care professionals, led by Jo Stuttaford. The generosity of our supporters. including legators and donors, the commitment of Emma Harrison and her fundraising team, the success of our Midhurst shop run by Arabella Madge and colleagues, not to mention the very many volunteers who give up so much of their time, all demonstrate to us how important it is that the servi￿ is given the reSoUr￿S it needs. As this Report sets out, we are optimistic that we can rise to the challenge- and not only meet the current funding requirement but also help expand the Service. On behalf of my fellow Trustees, I would like to thank our supporters and donors who help make MPC suc￿Ssful and also our volunteers whose time and hard work underpin our fund-raising activities. Above all. I thank those dedicated professionals who work so hard for the Service itself. Registered Charity.. 1195572 R¢gist¢r¢d Office-. Pearson Unit. Midhurst Community Hospital. Dodsley Lane. Midhur5t, GU29 9AW www.mpc-midhuTStmacmillan.o]B 1p￿11R PhLLihTIVE hpE Activities The focus during our fourth year of operation has been to further consolidate and expand the activities of the charity. Amongst many activities.. In November 2024 we were elected as the Cowdray Estate's nominated charity for a I￿0-year period. Our charity shop has become well established in North Street, Midhurst. and sales continue to be good. In April 2025 we introduced retail gift-aid. We successfully ran our second open garden event at the home of a local supporter. A third one is booked for September 2026. We have run other events, and supported events organised by others, to raise funds and to help raise awareness of the charity in the local area. We opened a Remembrance Garden in the grounds of Midhurst Community Hospital. In the Garden is the Memory Tree, a beautiful copper tree sculpted by a local artist. Copper leaves can be dedicated for a donation and engraved in memory of a loved one before they are attached to the Tree. The Garden is peaceful pla￿ to sit and reflect. The website continues to operate well (www.mpc-midhurstmacmillan.org) with ongoing expert support from the IT department at Sc￿. We have continued to work with a local marketing agency to support us with marketing communications and social media activity. Due to the increasing workload for our team in organising and attending charitable activities and events, the related administration and the necessary complian￿, we have recruited a fundraising assistant. Strategic Report Our main achievement is to have made our first Service grant payment to SCFT. This is our core objective,. however. thanks to the generosity and hard work of our supporters we have been able to do more than this: We have established a fund for training and welfare for the staff of the Service. Since the year end, we have established a hardship fund for patients and their families. We have also committed to continuing to fund a counselling post in the Service. We are already looking at funding other posts in the servi￿ to expand the support and services it can provide. Registered Charity= 1195572 Registered Offiee.. Pearson Unit, Midhurst Community Hospital, Dodsley Lanq MidhursL GU29 9AW www.mp¢-midhurstmacmillan.org PALLIATIVE M4rmilknSer¥K* Our Performance We principally measure our performance against our commitment to support the se￿1￿ with sufficient funding to ensure that SCFT can maintain the Service in future years. Our policy is to make sure that we have at least three years of funding for the Servi before we release funds for other purposes. Thanks tothe generosity ofour supporters (including legators and donors), we have built-up sufficient reserves be able to pay for enhancements to the Service. Overall, the Trustees consider it to have been a very successful year, which is reflected in an increase in net funds to £2,665,133 from £2,211,439 at the end ofAugust 2024. As always, the Trustees are extremely grateful to our volunteers for the amount of time and supportthey give to us, without which we would not be able to carry out our various activities. We are also grateful to our supporters and donors who help make the charity successful, both financially and in other ways, such as raising awareness of the charity and the Midhurst Macmillan Service in our local communities. Financial Review As of 31 August 2025 the value of our funds stood at £2,665,133, which is sufficient to meet the current level of funding required to support the servi￿ for the next three years. Interest earned from investing the funds contributes significantly to each year's income target. Regist¢r¢d Charity.. 1195572 Registered Office.. Peaison Unit, Midhurst Community Hospital.

This is reflected in our Reserves Policy, which is as follows.. Reserves Policy 2024 to 2025 The Tnjstees detem7ine that the charity should hold across all its accounts a minimum of three years, worth of anticipated expenditure. The Trustees consider that the current level of reseNes be increased so as to better meet ftiture contractual obligations of the charity. The Trustees, aim is to maximise the charity's contribution towards the cost of the Midhurst Macmillan SeNice and to future proof that contribution by increasing the amount of sustainable income generated by the charity's rese￿es. The Trustees therefore distinguish between." Unr8sts7Cted funds which are required for cu￿ent expenditure and specific commitments Restricted funds which are spent in aGcordance with the wishes of the donors Designated funds which will be used for discretionary support of the Midhurst Macmillan Service Registered ChaTity.' 1195572 R¢gisteTed Office: Pearson Unit.

The pie chart below shows the make-up of our total unrestricted funds of £2,631,183. They comprise the core Service support costs in bright green (£1,935,000), additional Service support costs in light blue (£224,400), and uncommitted funds available for future projects in purple (£471,783). Proportions ofTotal Unrestricted Funds in £ Until our funds are used, whether for core servi￿ support or additional SeNice support, we hold them in a series of accounts within either commercial banks or via the Flagstone platfom, always aiming to keep such accounts fully covered by the Financial servI￿s Compensation Scheme limit of £120,000 per business account. The interest is credited in the usual way. Plans for the Future We are committed to finding ways of helping SCFT expand the ways the Service supports and helps their patients and their families. We are conscious that, though the servi￿ provides high-quality and much-valued support for those referred to it, there may remain unmet areas of need. Registered Charity.. 1195572 Registered oifice.. Pearson Unit, Midhurst Community Hospital. Dodsl¢y Lane, MidhursL GU29 9AW www.mpc-midhurstmacrnillan.org PhLLihTivE 5crvico We are actively looking at funding other posts in the Service. Since the financial year end of 31 August 2025, the Trustees have approved the provision of the charity's full funding for a 0.6 whole time equivalent physiotherapy posl within the Service. In 2025 we committed to covering part of the costs of the Service's counselling service. We continue to work closely with the Service to plan the future funding of other potential posts. Future Reserves Policy Having taken expert advice on our financial position going into 2026, we are revising our Reserves Policy, as shown below, to reflect a maturing view of both the sums required to assure our future financial obligations, along with an identified amount that the charity could propose be used to fund new posts within the Service. By ring fencing three years, worth of Service support costs in a designated fund, we ensure no interruption to the SeryiGe's frontline work. These resetves are referred to by us as our Service Support Fund. It fulfils two main purposes. It both enables the charity to sustain its financial support of the Midhurst Macmillan SeNice even if the charity suffers an unexpected fall in income, and it also provides an essential income stream. It guarantees three years of vital services if other income falls short. This discipline in fiscal managementis how we help safeguard the future of the SeNice (which is our main beneficiary). The charity has assessed that it now holds an adequate sen11￿ Support Fund for the ongoing financial support of the SeNice. This allows it to explore the potential funding of additional posts not currently provided by the Service within its present funding structure of dual charity and NHS income. The costs relating to new posts will be held within our Designated fund, the amount of which will be adjusted accordingly. Registered Charity.. 1195572 Registered Office..

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Chartties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fai view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 12 Registered Charity-. 1195572 Registered Office= Pearson Unit, Midhurst Comtnunity Hospital, Dodsley Lane, Midhurst, GU29 9AW www.mpc-midhurstmacmillan.org AqiPHUP PhLLihTIVE Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention".- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements.. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met., or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention shouSd be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
