Report of the Board of Trustees Year lo 31 March 2023
The Board of Trustees I'the Board'l presents the slatulory report and financial statements of
Biilish Home and Hospital for Incurables {'Brilish Home'l for the year ended 31 March 2D23.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set
out on pages 27 10 30 and comply with British Home's Charler of Incorporation and
Regulations, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of
Recommended Practice applicable to charitie5 preparing their accounts in accordance with
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of IreSand IFRS 1021.
A Note from our Chalr
Welcome lo our Annual Accounts and Report. On reading this you will see that much has
happened in 202212023 both in activity and continued financial improvement and you will see
the future for the British Home's ambitions.
Before continuing il is important from the start to recognise the continued dedication that all
staff - clinical, support and management make lo the continued life of the residents of the
British Home and the Charity. Without their knowledge, dedication, and support in so many
ways there would be no British Home, and the Trustees are forever grateful.
2023 has been a successfu5 year in that we have been fully discharged of Covid and all that
sits around it. We have been able lo give much more attention lo the strategic plans that were
first initiated in 2019 and then halted over the pandemic. We were able lo resurrect some of
these plans in the middle of 2022 and we have seen far more activity happening with our 5-
year Strategy over the last year.
Al the heart of our 5-year strategy has been our ambition to develop even more specialist
neuro-rehabililation services in response to greater demand from people with more complex
neurological conditions. Our overarching aspiration is lo become a specialist level-2 service,
as defined by the British Society of Rehabililalive Medicine.11 remains our firm belief that more
specialist beds and services are needed for the population ol people living with severe
neurological conditions.
Towards the end of 2022 we appointed a new Director of Care and Registered Manager who
brought with them the expert knowledge in nursing and rehabilitstive care that will support our
strategy. The new clinical leadership team remain mindful ol the support. wellbeing, training
and Gonlinuous development that our staff require for the journey ahead of u5.
The staff al British Home are as diverse in background, culture and thought as our residents
and we continue lo draw on the strengths and unique characlerislics of all al British Home, lo
ensure our service is accessible and responsive to the needs of everyone we support. In the
next year we will implement a new equality and diversity strategy with OUT Staff and residents,
lo ensure that we continue to maintain an open and inclusive culluie for all al British Home.
In our report last year, we discussed our revised governance arrangements and how this is
important for our Board lo achieve ils slralegi¢ objectives. As part ol the Board's succession
plan, we undertook a skills review of the Board earlier in the year. We identified the skills and
knowledge gaps that we would need to address lo support the charity's stffitegic aims.
British Home and Hospital for Incurables 3

Report of the Board of Trustees Year lo 31 March 2023
A Note from our Chair Iconlinuedl
We began our first search in early autumn 2022 and were delighted with the number of
individuals who applied for a Trustee position In November, we recruited three Trustees who
bring with them experience of financial management as well as people and culture within
senior, executive roles. In July this year we recruited a further two Trustees with clinical
expertise in the field of neuTO- science. We expect that our recently appDinled Trustees will
play a vital role in the British Home's journey towards becoming a sustainable and highly
specialist provider of care and therapy for people living with neuro-disabilily.
We continue lo look al the ever-increasing costs the Charity is bearing as a result of admitting
residents who are requiring far more clinical and care needs. We 8re seeing many
Commissioners acknowledging the specialist skills and care the British Home is providing and
therefore referring individuals with more complex needs than we admilled prior to the
pandemic.
This has resultèd in a significant increase in our revenue. However, we have also seen an
increase in our staffing costs, as the national shortage of qualified nurses and carers has
resulted in a higher reliance of agency staff. This presents further challenges in reducing our
operational defiGil which is a key objective of our strategy. In the last six months we engaged
with the government's Skills Bootcamp initiative which aims lo provide London residents with
the skills and experience required to lake up Careers in adult social care. We have reciuiled
oveT 10 staff into British Home, providing continued training and support provided by our Care
Trainer. Through this initiative we are abl8 lo offer new career opportunities to those who
share our values and ambition lo improve the lives of our residents. This has the du81 benefit
of reducing our reliance on costly, temporary staff and will go some way lo ensuiing that our
fee income covers the cost of our specialist care.
With Covid now not dominating our every action, this year has seen a shift in our activity as
described above, be it our ambitious Clinical Strategy lo offer a Level 2 service", our Financial
Strategy to eradicate our deficit position, or our Governance and appointment of new
Trustees. The Board remain energised and determined to deliver on all of these key objectives
and we are confident that the Brillsh Home has a bright future.
I need lo acknowledge the retirement of hvo long standing Trustees - Rowenna Hughes and
Patricia Collinson. Rowena retired after many decades 21 the Home giving much service to
the development of our physiolherapy and occupational Services. Always a supporter of
these services, Rowenna championed these at Board discussions and visited the service
many times. Patricia has also been a Trustee for over 15 years, ensuring the Board remained
focussed on Clinical governance and imparted much knowledge and support for continuous
qU81ity and clinical safely. Their dedication lo these areas and a much wider tx)ard
governance contribution and support is greatly acknowledged and appreciated.
I must 81so thank Paul Perkin, and his team, who has steered the Charity through the last
turbulent years, always doing so with huge knowledge and professionalism and a smile. He
has enabled the Charity lo survive and come through looking ambitious and even brighter.

Aim5 Objectives and Strategy
British Home provides specialist nursing and rehabilitation to adults living with neuro disability.
This will typically include people living with severe impairment often resulting from brain injury,
stroke or through a degenerative i1Sness. We work with each of our residents lo tailor a holistic
and bespoke package of care and rehabilitation, enabling them to live as full and independent
lives as possible. British Home also provides end of life Care, ensuring that dignity, comfort.
and choice remain at the heart of all that we do.
British Home is registered lo look after a maximum of 127 residents., however, due lo the
incfeasing complexities of residents over the last several years, the number of commissioned
units has been reduced lo achieve a more optimum operational capacity of 80 beds This
includes bed5 for both fasl-stream and longer-lerm rehabilitation, as well a5 palliative care
and respite.
During the pandemic. the average occupancy within the service reduce(f significantly due lo
higher mortality rates amongst residents and delayed dlscharge from referring agencies.
Since the end of the pandemic, we have Continued lo receive referials for residents with
increasingly more complex needs. This has resulted in rnore time needed lo plan for
admissions which has impacted on bed occupancy. Average occupancy over the last year on
this basis was 85Vo or 68 residenls12022 - 88°A or 70 residents}.
In February 2023, the Board Teviewed 115 5-year strategy, with a central aim to build upon ils
experience and become a specialist provider of neuro-disability rehabilitation. Over the next
three years. the Board will continue lo invest charitable income to develop British Home into

Rehabilitation Medicine IBSRMI standards. The Board remains commilled lo its objective of
developing Specialist Level -2b Tehabililalion beds within British Home. In addition lo this. we

Our Values
All al British Home are committed lo upholding our organisalional values which have been
developed in collaboration with our residents, staff and other stakeholders and partners.
These values inform every aspect of our work, including the care we provide to residents and
the way we support our staff lo carry out their important roles.
Our Values determine that we..
put the individual at the heart of their care.,
understand that every individual will have their own targets and motivations. and that
rehabilitation is a process that people tske at their own pace.,
recognise the advantages that our diversity provides, we will hamess the lalenl and
energy of everyone at British Home.. staff. volunteers, residents. families and carers,.
will a￿ayS act with integrity, openness and honesty,. and
are committed lo the highest standards 8nd will embrace innovation and models of best
practice.
Pèrsonalised Support
Al British Home, we recognise that each resident is an individual and that they and their
families will often provide the greatest insight into how our staff can best meet their care
needs. Residents at British Home are continually assessed by a multi-disciplinary team
comprising of clinical staff and Iherapisl to ensure they receive an appropriate service offer
commensurate with their individual needs. We work with residents and their families lo
develop personalised care plans, ensuring that they direct and control the care we provide.
Over the next year we will continue to train and develop all our nursing and care staff in
rehabililalion support, which will ensure greater integration of each resident's individual
therapy and Irealmenl plans across all aspects of their daily care. We continue to work with
residents receiving palliative care lo develop personal end of life care plans. Last year 1 OOQ/o
of residents had an agreed end of life plan in line with their personal wishes.

Report of the Board of Trustees Year lo 31 March 2023
Alms Objectives and Strategy {conlinued)
Risk management
The Board regularly reviews the potential major risks to the charity and undertakes a forma
risk audit each year lo identify any additional risks that the charity may be exposed to and lo
ensure that adequate control measures are in place lo mitigate identified risks. To protect the
assets of the Charily, British Home maintains a comprehensive suite of insurance policies.
The Board considers the 'failure lo reduce its opeTational defi'cit,, as ils key strategic and
operational risk, given that this would have a detrimental impact on the future sustainability of
the Charity and the well-being of ils residents. The Charity's 5-year strategy has guided British
Home's tmnsilion from a traditional nursing care model lo that of a specialist provider of neuro-
disability nursing care and rehabilitative support. This wil5 ensure Ihal care fees are more
commensurate with residents, support needs and that the Charity is not required to subsidise
the costs for those residents who no longèr require the level of specialist nursing and support
provided within the Home.
In recent years the health and social care sector has experienced significant challenges
around recruilmenl and retention of experienced care staff. British Home is not immune to
this, and over the185t year the recruilmenl of skilled staff into British Home has emerged as
a key risk for the Charily. The Executive Team has Introduced a range of measures lo allract
talented staff and to reduce ils dependency on temporary workers, with some success.
However, this has not been without significant cost as the Charity has sought to increase
salaries and benefits lo attract skilled workers within a Compelilive market. Over the next year,
the Executive Team will engage with local Integrated Care Partnerships lo ensure that care
fees reflect the demands of IoGal latiour markets, and that British Home remains able to attract
and relain highly skilled and eXperIen￿d staff.
Volunteers & Carers
Volunteers at British Home make a positive difference lo the lives of residents al British Home
through their involvement in a wide range of activities including reh8bililalion support,
recreational aclivilies, befriending and fundraising. The Board remain grateful for the
significant contribution that all of our volunteers make lo the charity and its residents.
British Home also p18ces significant value in the views and contributions of ils community of
resident's families and carers. The Charity offers a variety of ways for families and carers lo
have their say on how care and support is delivered at British Home, recognising their role as
advocales and experts in how their loved ones are cared for. Over the last year, families and
carer's views were heard through online quarterly families and carer's meetings as well as
through our annual family and carer surveys.
Fundraising
The shortfall in our operating income, as noted earlier, is made up in parl from generous
donations and legacies bequeathed to the Home. British Home is reliant on voluntary
contributions to provide resources and develop innovation lo improve the lives of everyone
we support. The Board are grateful for all charitable contributions from our generous donors
and would like to pay parlicular thanks lo the following Trusts and individuals for their
continued support..

a) Fees
Income from fees charged increased by 13Yo to £5,482,29912022 £4,833,020). The
decrease in average occupancy as a result of impact of the pandemic was augmented
by higher fees generated in respect of new admissions Wlth continued focus on allracling
specialist needs residents with neurological conditions and a greater emphasis on the
charity's therapy provision. As in recent years, a very low level of fee increase was
awarded for longer term residents and only by a small number of funders putting
continued pressure on the charity's resources.
b) Expenditu
Expenditure in 2023 increased by 170/D to £7,982,82212022- £6,810,981).
Within this lolal, staffi'ng costs amounted to £4,179,92912022- £3,771,193) an increase

Performance In the year (continued)
ej Income
Income from legacies increased over the prior year to £212,621 12022 - £130,669). In
line with the legacy income recognition policy, whereby a future legacy receipt IS
recognised as income provided probate has been granted and eventual receipt is
probable, £21,04412022 - £109,000) has been recognised as income ahead of receipt
in cash. Historically the legacy income of British Home has flu¢lualed and is
unpredictable from year lo year.
Penslon Liabilities
The charity previously operated a final salary pension scheme which closed lo new members
as 0131 March 2014.
The Board engaged KPMG lo advise it as to whether measures could be taken lo potentially
miligale the liabilities of the scheme and whether securing member, benefits under the
scheme IhroLJgh an insurancè eompany buy-out might be an affordable option for British
Home. The Board considered that removing al an affordable cost the risk to ils reserves
represented by an open-ended obligation lo fund any future defi'cits in the scheme would be
in the best interests of the Gharily.
In February 2018 the Iruslees decided lo withdraw from the scheme and a lotsl liability of
approximately £1,788,000 cryslallised. This quotation also included wsls for legal and
actuarial fees associated wrth the buy-out, as well as provision for any unforeseen costs
arising from a final data cleansing exercise of the scheme. which will be jolntly conducted by
Aviva and the scheme's actuary.
The Iruslees paid over the sum of £1,010,OOa on 3 March 2018. There remains a provision in
the accounts at the reporting dale 01 £778,000. The data cleansing exercise was still in
progress at the reporting dale and the provision remains unchanged.
The Board are pleased to have secured a buy-out of the closed defined benefit scheme with
an established and reputable insurer such as Aviva. This will ensure greater security in the
longer-lerm for the members of this pension scheme. while removing a significant liability from
the charity's balance sheet.
The replacement to the now closed final salary scheme is a defined contribution Group
Personal Pension Plan provided through Royal London. Under this arrangement British Home
contributes 1 OYO of pensionable salary while erllployees contribute So￿. Employees who have
not elected lo join the GPPP are. if eligible, subject to autoenrolment al contribution rates set
as parl of the Government's pension membership initiative.

The Home's Net Assets
The nel assets of British Home al 31 March 2023 were £11,773,66812022 £14,214,997).
Of these £633.50412022- £569,654) related to fixed assets which were comprised mostly of
freehold buildings. which are wholly used for charitable purposes and are represented by a
specific designated fund. Fixed asset purchases and disposals during the year are shown in
the notes lo the financial slatemenls. The nel assets also included £12,477 of endowment
funds not expendable by the charity. After allowing for further designated funds as described
below the general unrestiicted funds of the charity at 31 March 2023 were £3,224,687.
Reserves pollcy and financial posltlon
In determining the level ol reserves necessary to Gontinue the work of British Home, the Board
balances ils long-term obligations and risks with the needs of current beneficiaries. Vvhere
there is a capital commitment, a need lo generate income for a specific purpose, or a need to
ring-fence funds for the future stability of the charity, the Board has established designated
funds. COVID- 19 had a significant impact on Ihe Charity's reserves and highlighted the need
to relain an appropriate level of free reserves in order lo respond lo unforeseen events and
to protect the wellbeing of the charity's beneficiaries.
Designated reseNes
Al the end of the financial year 2022123 the British Home held £12,063,705 in investments
which were otherwise unrestricted reserves. These funds were split be￿eell general reserves
£3.224,687 and £8,533,504 designated fLJnds for fixed assets, continutiy of care and major
and cyclical maintenance. The Board is awaiting coslings for the planned redevelopment
project which would require a further designation along with capital fundraising lo fund the
project. The Board has currently made the lollowing designations.
Continui
of Care Fund.. The Board of Trustees is conscious of ils loNg-tÈrm obligation to
the residents in its care. their sponsors and their carers and to balance the needs of current
residents with those of the future. The Board believes that the equivalent of 12 months
anticipated costs is required to meet ils obligations to provide essential services for all parties
in the event of a critic81 incident. The Board has therefore designated £5.9M of ils reserves
to this fund, lo provide for one year's running costs.
Ma
or and C cllcal Malntenance Fund: The British Home operates from an old, Victorian
building which is both expensive lo maintain and will also occasionally require costly
unplanned repairs. Trustees have therefore created a fund lo meet the costs of major and
cyclical maintenance when the need arises. The Board has designated £2M of its reserves
to this fund, in the event that major repairs are required lo the building's infraslruclure.
Investmentpolicy andperfomiance
The investment objective of the Board is lo maintain the Teal value of the fund over lime whilst
generating a stable and sustainable return on investments in the form of dividend payments
lo supplement the charity's income. The Finance Committee has responsibility for agreeing
strategy and monitoring the investment assets. The committee meets quarterly and reviews
the portfolio's performan￿.

Investment policy andperfomiance (confinued)
The market value of the portfolio at 31 March 2023 wa5 £11,713,70512022 £13,801,164
and 2021 £14,491,862). This is a book valuation and may differ signilicanlly from the price
achieved when the fund5 are sold. The v21ue of the portfolio fell during the year because of
withdrawals lo cover cash shortfalls arising from the deficit. The amounts drawn down on 31
March 2023 were £1.500,000 {2022 - £500,000 and 2021 £2,500,0001 The underlying
investment performance showed nel unlealised investment losses of £600,455 for the yèar,
12022- £651.943 gains and 2021- £2,496,626 losses) reflecting the change in market value
of investments since 31 March 2022. The income produced from these investments amounted
10 £359.41512022 - £362,042 and 2021- £419,585).
Whilst the charity's ftjnds are of a sufficient size to have a segregated portfolio, the TrLJStees
decided, after a review some years ago, to invest in pooled and common investment funds
for charities. The saving in costs is considerable but il means that the eharity loses its power
lo directly influence and control the underlying investments made or the detail of the
Environmental, Social and Governance IESGI policies lo be followed.
The two funds in the portfolio are the COIF Charity Investment and Fixed Income Funds,
managed by CCLA, and the Sarasin Consolidated Alpha Fund for Endowments, m8n8ged by
Sarasin & Partners. Both these managers are mindful of the ethical concerns of their charity
clients and pursue active ESG research. This research informs not just asset allocation,
assessment of risk and stock selection bul also how they vote the shares they buy. Both
managers talk lo the management of those companies to raise concerns. Both managers
publish detailed ESG policies and descriptions of how they assess iisk. Both managers also
present annually lo the Finance Committee illustrating the analysis of Ihe financial return, risk,
asset allocation, the funds, performance against agreed market benchmarks, and the
investment objectives.
Future plans
In February of 2023, the Board of British Home revised the charity's 5-year strategic plan. Our
new strategy 2023-2026, has been developed to focus on what we do well today ancj make il
even beller. We will provide high quality specialist neuro rehabilitslion lo a local and wider
population. As the complexity of resident care increases, we will expand our offer to new
cohorts of residents including specialist Level- 2 provision which provides a much greater
Iherapeulic input lo residents who will benefit from this higher level of intervention. These new
service5 will complement our existing provision of longer-lem rehabilitation and palliative care
and we will continue to invest in these areas as we progress our strategy.
As part of this strategy. we will continue to work towards a long-lerm solution for redeveloping
our building lo provide a slale-of-the-art ¢are facility . This will include new infrastructure and
in-house facilities that will enable us lo incorporate the lalesl technologies lo support people
with their rehabililalion. Furlhemiore, we will consult with our residents and sl8ff lo create a
more modern and therapeutic environment for all who live and work al British Home.

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularltles including fraud
Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of material misslalemenl in respect of
irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows..

appropriate Competence, capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance
with applicable laws and regulations-

management and trustees and from our knowledge and experien￿ of the charity sector,

(continued)
+ Tested the aulhorisalion of expendilure,.
Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting

+ Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we
designed procedures which included, bul were not limited to:
+ Agreeing finanGial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documenlalion.,
• Reading the minutes of meets'ngs of Iruslees. and
• Enquiring of as lo actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed
that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely il is that we would
become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards abso limil the audit procedures required
lo identify non-compliance with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the trustees and other
management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder lo delect than those that arise
from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

The Federated Flexiplan No. 1 1"Ihe Plan'l is a defined benefit pension scherne. 11 is a 'las1
man standing scheme which means that all participating employers are joint and severally
liable for the Plan's liabilities. However, because of the non-associaled multi-employer nature
of the Plan, the charity does not have sufficient information available lin particular to identify
its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Plan) to use defined benefit accounting.
As such and as permilled by FRS 102, it accounts for the Plan as if il were a defined
contribution scheme. As a result. the amount recognised in the slalemenl of financial activities
represents the charity's contributions payable lo the Plan in respect of the accounting period.
Members of the Plan are enlilled lo benefits on either a"Pensions Capital" or Target Pension"
basis. Under the Pensions Capital basis. contributions paid by and in iespect of members are
accumulated up lo retirement and then used to secure benefits for the member. Under the
Target Pension basis, members receive a defined pension at reb'rement based on length of
service in the Plan and their Pensionable Salary al date of leaving. The Plan is closed lo new
members and lo future accrual of benefits.
