AIMS, OBJECTIVES, VALUES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITY
The Charity’s aims are to serve the sick and the dying, and to seek to care for the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the person, whatever their race, colour or creed.
In so doing, the Charity is aware that it is measured by its grace, its charity and its ethical principles. Since its foundation in 1856, the Hospital has been fully committed to a multi-faith philosophy, whilst maintaining its strong Catholic tradition in its spiritual and ethical principles.
The Charity carries out its Christian commitment in maintaining a Hospice and provides amenities for organisations dedicated to the work and study of the religious principles and practice of medical science, and its relationships to the total care of the sick.
Objectives
The Charity’s objectives are:
-
For patients to receive appropriate corrective and supportive treatment in an environment where patient safety and choice are of paramount importance
-
To achieve the highest standards of medical care, measured in terms of quality of staff, facilities, equipment and management
-
To remain active in the field of acute hospital care and
-
To develop the concept of caring for its patients in the totality of their physical, spiritual and emotional needs, and for such care to extend to all members of staff
The Charity’s achievements against its objectives for 2021 are as follows;
-
Increased number of Consultants with Practising Privileges
-
Increased patient numbers
-
Maintenance of high staff to patient ratios
-
Increased patient satisfaction
Values
The Charity’s values guide its decision making and place the wellbeing of its patients first:
Compassion
We recognise the human side to healthcare and business. This guides Us. Compassion runs deep within our organisation. Our Caring, empathetic approach sets us apart.
Commitment
We’re devoted to excellence. Our hallmark is outstanding care coupled with leading edge treatment. We’re committed to delivering the best possible outcome for every patient.
Performing at our best, on our own and as part of our team
Community
We have strong ties with our local community. Our building is a friendly, neighbourhood landmark not a cold clinical institution. A welcoming, inclusive place where people come to use our services.
Charity
Charity is our reason for being. It’s fundamental to our ethos. It inspires and motivates everything we do. Private healthcare. Not here, we’re different.
Activities
The Charity is committed to serving the medical needs of the community. It achieves this by working with other local healthcare providers such as NHS Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups, and through fundraising and using surpluses from Hospital activities to have the ability to treat patients with life limiting illnesses, without charge for themselves, in the Hospice and in their own homes.
The Charity’s fundraising department aims to raise awareness in the local community, especially in young people, of palliative care needs by working with schools to educate, as well as to encourage children to engage in activities that may assist patients under the care of the Hospice.
The Hospice cares for a wide range of patients affected by illness, including people with HIV, and assists this group in coping and adapting to an extended lifespan, resulting from combination therapy which has improved their prognosis.
5
The Charity provides full medical support and services for patients in the Hospice Inpatient Unit (Hospice@Home provides this service in the patient’s own home). In addition, the Hospice Day Centre provides additional support to those patients who are faced with terminal illness. These services are delivered free of charge to the patient.
The Charity also offers a Chaplaincy Service to care for the spiritual, pastoral and religious needs of patients, relatives and staff whatever their faith and belief.
Structure, Governance and Management of the Charitable Funds
Governing Document
The Charity was founded in 1856 and is registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 235822). Its current governing instrument is a Scheme made by the Charity Commission on 21 May 1993, as amended by a further Scheme made by the Charity Commission on 2 February 1998 and a Charity Commission order dated 4 April 2005.
Trustees
The Trustee of the Charity, appointed by clause 2 of the 1993 Scheme, is the body corporate called The Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth.
This Corporate Trustee is a company limited by guarantee (number 2808390) and also registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1020916).
Directors; a Director may appoint any other Director or any other person to act as his/her alternate Director. The Directors may elect a Chairman and a Vice Chairman, both of whom shall hold office for a period of three years. Directors, excluding nominated Directors, may hold office for a period of three years. At every Annual General Meeting, one third of Directors shall retire from office but shall be eligible for reelection.
Any Director can submit a name for consideration as a Director to the Board. There follows a discussion on the appropriateness of the nomination, and if there is general agreement that the appointment might be of benefit, the prospective candidate is interviewed by the Chairman and at least one other Director. The Chairman will then report back to a subsequent meeting of the Board when a decision will be taken to appoint or not. Potential Directors must display eligibility, personal competence, specialist skills and availability.
Members
There can be up to 50 members of the Charity. The key role of members is to appoint Trustees. Membership is either through being a Director of the Corporate Trustee or through nominations from specific groups associated with the works and locality of the Charity.
The Directors have the power to co-opt further members. Anyone who is a member in more capacities than one shall only be counted once. There shall at all times be at least 75% of the membership who profess the Roman Catholic faith. Each member agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the Charity winding up.

In addition, the Chairman and Chief Executive provide a detailed briefing and a guided tour, during which new Trustees and Directors are able to meet key employees and other Directors. There is an ongoing assessment of the training needs of the Trustees and Directors, and additional training is provided as required. Trustees and Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Organisation
The Board of the Corporate Trustee administers the Charity and fulfils the Corporate Trustee’s legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objects of the Charity. The Board meets on at least four occasions per annum and is responsible for approving strategic plans, the annual business plan including the annual budget, and for approving the annual accounts and Trustees’ report. At each meeting, the Directors receive reports on financial results and activity levels, and the progress made against the annual budget and business plan to ensure that they are able to exercise their fiduciary responsibilities.
To assist in this task, there are a number of Board subcommittees, comprising Directors, senior management and Nominees, with agreed terms of reference and periods of office. These sub-committees are responsible for strategic, financial and operational issues. The subcommittees report at each meeting of the Corporate Trustee on the progress being made against agreed objectives. A Chief Executive is appointed by the Corporate Trustee to manage the operations of the Charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has delegated authority, within terms approved by the Board of the Corporate Trustee, for operational matters including finance, employment, clinical standards and the day-to-day management of the organisation. The Chief Executive is supported in this role by the Hospital Management Board (HMB).
Remuneration of key management personnel is set by the Remuneration Committee taking into account cost of living increases and external market conditions.
Related Parties
The Charity has a close relationship with the Brampton Trust and is its principal beneficiary. The Brampton Trust provides financial support by way of donations and interest free loans, and owns the freehold of a significant part of the estate. One of the Brampton Trust Trustees is also a director of the Corporate Trustee.
The Brampton Trust has not been included in the financial statements of the Charity as the Corporate Trustee does not exercise control over it.
Note 14 in the Notes to the Financial Statements details the related party transactions with the Directors of the Corporate Trustee.
Public Benefit
All our activities advance our charitable purpose for the public benefit to save lives and serve the sick and the dying. The impact of our services extends beyond the clinical and non-clinical care provided to our patients by providing bereavement services and support to their families. Further details are set out below on page 11 of this report.
When setting the strategic plan and approving the annual business plan, the Board of the Corporate Trustee has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Charity is committed to ensuring that Patients within the Hospice are able to attend at no cost to themselves.
Corporate Governance
The Board of the Corporate Trustee strongly supports the principles of corporate governance. Their main responsibility is to protect the long term security of the Charity, by ensuring that the Hospital and Hospice are well managed and that it maintains appropriate standards of clinical care. Clinical Governance A structure of policy setting and monitoring is well established in line with the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (Part 3) and the standards as laid out by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009 (Part4)
The Director of Governance & Risk Management and the Medical Director help to ensure that best practice and national clinical standards continue to be met.
The Charity remains compliant with all regulatory requirements since our Care Quality Commission inspection was undertaken in 2021 where we received an overall ‘Good’ rating, demonstrating the high quality care provided at the Hospital and Hospice.
The Hospital participates in all appropriate National Confidential Audits into peri-operative death, the National Joint Registration and provides information on the rates of hospital acquired infection to Public Health England. The Hospital has low infection rates including a zero record of Hospital acquired MRSA and MSSA for the past nine years.
The Hospital is a member of the Private Healthcare Information Network and is fully compliant with all Competition Market Authority Article 22 regulation requirements.
The Board of the Corporate Trustee welcomes the national framework that supports commitment to ensuring that standards and quality of care are maintained. Issues of clinical governance are reviewed regularly by specialty committees and their findings and recommendations are reported to the Hospital Management Board and Medical Advisory Committee, the Chairman of which is also a member of the Board of the Corporate Trustee.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income
Income increased year on year by 7.7% to £59.9m (2020: £55.7m), of which £4.3m was restricted funds (2020: £1.8m). This was driven by an increase in patient related income, particularly from inpatient services and Daycases.
The increase in Inpatient attendances led to increases in related activity in Pathology, Imaging and Theatre procedures.
Voluntary income increased by 305.0% as a result of a legacy donation from a benefactor.
Expenditure
Total operating costs increased by 5.6% in 2021 to £57.0m (2020: £54.0m), which was mainly due to higher hospital supplies and professional fees. Staff costs increased mainly due to higher agency staff costs. Professional fees also increased mainly due to higher consultants and cardiology fees.
Policy on Reserves
The policy of the Trustee is to seek to build up and maintain free reserves at a level which will:
Operating Surplus
The operating surplus for the year amounted to £3.1m (2020: £1.8m) of which £3.3m surplus was restricted.
The balance sheet has strengthened with a £8.3m increase in total assets and a £5.2m increase in total liabilities. As a result net assets increased from £54.7m at December 2020 to £57.8m at the end of 2021.
The Charity does not maintain a policy on investments because these are generally not significant. Upon receipt of a donation in the form of an investment, an assessment is made as to whether to keep the investment or liquidate for cash. The assessment is done on a case by case basis.
-
Assist in providing the Charity with adequate working capital to continue to operate in furtherance of its charitable objectives
-
Provide protection against cyclical and seasonal operating factors, and unforeseen events and;
-
Support the Hospital’s planned redevelopment which commenced in 2017
The Charity’s Free Reserves at 31 December 2021 were £2.9m (2020: £1.7m). The reserves are expected to decline in 2022 as it supports cash flows for its planned development (HJE2020), but the Trustees’ intention is to grow the general fund once this has been completed.
The restricted funds which comprises of donations, grants and development funds held for the benefit of the Hospice at 31 December 2021 was £11.2m (2020: £7.9m).

Risk Management
The Board of the Corporate Trustee has implemented a risk management strategy in relation to the Charity which comprises:
-
The development of a risk register that is reviewed by the Board on a bi-annual basis
-
The establishment of systems and procedures to manage those risks identified
-
The implementation of procedures to minimise any potential impact on the Charity, should those risks materialise
-
day-to-day operations with oversight from a strong group of Directors of the Corporate Trustee
-
Appropriate insurance to cover identified risks where possible
Detailed considerations of financial and commercial risks are delegated to the Finance and Audit Committee, which is assisted by senior management, drawing on information from relevant sub-committees of the Board and reports from external inspection authorities such as the Auditors, whilst clinical risks are managed through the Quality and Risk assurance Committee. For all areas risks are identified, assessed and controls are established throughout the year. Risks identified are prioritised on the likelihood of an event occurring and the impact should the event occur. All risks are then entered onto a risk register, which is reviewed quarterly by the Hospital Management Board and twice yearly by the Board of Trustees. A formal review of the Charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis and a Risk Management Report and Statement of Internal Control is produced and signed by the Chief Executive.
The Charity has a Corporate Governance and Risk Management Department, which ensures that a corporate risk register is maintained, reviewed and updated on a regular basis. The Charity also has a Health and Safety Committee which reports to the Risk Management Committee, which in turn reports into the Hospital Management Board.
The Chief Executive, who leads the Hospital Management Board, reports to the Board of the Corporate trustees.
Key Risks
The Charity has a number of risks, the main ones of which are:
-
Business Performance: the Charity needs to maintain a certain level of activity so it can continue its key objective to serve the sick and the dying
-
Macroeconomic, in a recession or economic downturn the number of insured lives and people willing to fund their own treatments may fall, having an adverse effect on the Charity’s results. Healthcare is less sensitive to economic trends than some other sectors, however costs currently reflect the levels of activity and there would be opportunities to reduce costs in some areas
-
Risk of a Cyber security incident and/or a serious data breach, which could result in regulatory, legal or contractual issues. This is managed through IT security controls, policies and procedures, regular external review and continually reviewing new threats.
-
Clinical Risk is a risk which can have wider consequences for the Charity, stakeholders and users. Medical malpractice is a risk through potential financial loss and reputational damage, as a result of poor clinical outcomes. This is managed by actively managing a diverse group of leading external Medical Consultants who conduct surgical and medical procedures, each of whom carries their own insurance, the hospital also carries out regular clinical audits and outcome reviews to measure clinical effectiveness
-
With a single site and business there is a concentration of risk to the Charity’s assets. This is managed through a well-defined governance process and in particular the appointment of an executive Hospital Management Board to manage operationally
9
The impact of COVID-19 on business
Covid has continued to impact performance and forecasting as there is a high level of uncertainty and variability as Covid number increase and fall. Many restrictions put in place through the first and second waves of the pandemic have now been removed and we expect these to remain in place aiding business improvement.
The main risks that Board considers to be in place from the current uncertain situation regarding COVID-19 are:
-
Slower up-take of elective surgery than forecast
-
General impact of any economic decline on the number of insured lives resulting in a reduction in number of corporate clients and a fall in discretionary spend for households.
-
Deferral of non-clinically necessary treatment such as cosmetic surgery
-
Continuing absence of staff and clinician through Covid
-
Business disruption through late cancellations by patients and clinicians who test positive for Covid
The Situation in Ukraine
The situation in relation to Ukraine is constantly changing but our view is that the impact on our business is likely to be limited, with the largest impact on our costs base likely to be in relation to energy charges which are due for renewal in October 2022. We have not seen any change in our demand for services since the crisis started. We have strong contingency and business continuity plans which we review periodically and will continue to do so should the situation change.
Going Concern
On the basis of our assessment of the charity’s financial position the Trustee Directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
The key controls used by the Charity include:
-
The Charity has a robust committee structure to ensure scrutiny of the Charity’s operations.
-
All Board meetings and committees have formal agendas.
-
Detailed terms of reference exist for all committees and are regularly reviewed and approved
-
Comprehensive strategic planning, budgeting and management accounting is in place
-
Established organisational structure and lines of reporting
-
Formal written policies which are reviewed and updated regularly
-
Comprehensive conditions upon which practising privileges of Consultants are granted
-
Using external professional advice where appropriate
-
Representation on the Hospital Management Board by the Medical Director and Director of Governance & Risk Management
-
Supplemented by appropriate insurance which is reviewed annually
Summary of Future Plans
The Charity commences its hospital redevelopment programme in 2017 and in October 2021 the first phase of the development became live with the opening of our main operating suite with the planned completion of all other phases in 2022. This development will provide expanded and enhanced facilities for the hospital to grow and support the Charity.
The hospital has also embarked on its digital transformation programme, in 2021 we appointed a new CIO who is focused on the delivery of our IT strategy.
In 2022 we plan to commence the refurbishment of our hospice day centre and community nursing and hospice administration offices which will enable us to enhance our day service offering and ensure we meet the needs of the patients we serve and provide support to. Funds for this development have been secured from our supporters.

St JOHN’S HOSPICE
St John’s Hospice (the Hospice) is the Charity’s provision of specialist palliative care through inpatient, community and day care services to the public. The Hospice has established partnerships with seven local Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who assist in funding the Hospice to allow its services to be provided to patients free of charge.
In addition to providing inpatient and day services the Hospice supports patients in the community with a Specialist Palliative Care Team and Hospice@Home services across a large geographical area. The Hospice also provides a Lymphoedema Service across two sites. We are one of only a few hospices nationally to run a fully equipped Palliative Care Ambulance, enabling us to transfer patients at short notice into and from our Hospice.
The Hospice also provides a Lymphoedema service In 2021, 490 patients were seen (2020: 350) and 1,373 sessions of treatment were provided (2020: 867). During the year, the Hospital provided £2,971,442 of assistance to the Hospice through the provision of clinical and non-clinical support (2020: £1,821,657). This sum does not include the value of infrastructure and equipment used to provide services to the Hospice patients on site.
The Inpatient Unit is an 18 bed residential care unit, which is supported by a specialist team providing 24 hour care. It provides family centred care for people with terminal illnesses, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, respiratory disease and Motor Neurone Disease. The Day Services Centre provides palliative care, complementary therapies, and a range of resources and activities.
In 2021, the Hospice had 234 admissions (2020: 256) which produced 3,404 inpatient bed nights (2020: 3,416). It also saw 36 patients in the Day Services Centre (2020: 46), producing 491 day care attendances (2020: 461). In relation to care provided to patients in the community, the Hospice had 228 new referrals (2020: 201), and provided care to 343 patients in total (2020: 327).
As the name suggests, Hospice@Home extends the care provided by the Inpatient Unit into the homes of patients who wish to remain in familiar and comfortable surroundings during the later stages of their illness.
The Hospice also provided 8 people with bereavement support from our Social Work and Bereavement Team (2020: 49), and two dedicated children’s bereavement days.
In total, the Hospice provided direct clinical care to 1,935 people (2020: 1,590).
Chaplain
The Chaplaincy Service cares for the spiritual, pastoral and religious needs of patients, relatives and staff whatever their faith and belief. The Hospital’s Chaplain, Father Hugh Mackenzie offers a friendly face, a listening ear, a chance to talk through thoughts and concerns and, where appropriate, prayer and Sacraments. The Chaplain and Eucharistic Ministers visit the wards during the week offering Holy Communion to those who request it, and the Chaplain celebrates Mass in the Hospital Chapel on Sundays and Tuesdays, for those who wish to attend. The Chaplain also provides an “on call” service in case of emergency. In addition, our Chaplain provides training and support for staff in all areas of the Hospice.
11
Apart from financial and other support provided by the Hospital’s activities, the Charity generates additional funding from various fundraising activities. These include trusts and foundations, challenge and community events (including three Fayres), a major donor strategy, the operation of two charity shops and other community supported activities. In December of each year, the Hospice holds its “Light up a Life” evening, which allows people to celebrate and remember the lives of their loved ones. The evening includes a multi-faith service at St John’s Wood Church and a candlelit procession from the Church to the Hospice.
Revenue from Fundraising increased to £4,349,000 (2020: £1,788,000). Legacy income increased from £333,000 in 2020 to £3,498,000 in 2021. Donations from individuals decreased by 32% to £117,000 from £173,000 in 2020. Community and Events income decreased by 94%, from £669,000 in 2020 to £43,000 in 2021. Income received from trusts increased in 2021 to £522,000 from £454,000 in 2020.
The services detailed above all assist in furthering the Charity’s aim of the reception, care and treatment of patients and to serve the sick and dying, and to care for the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of patients.
Fundraising Approach
The Charity uses its own staff to carry out fundraising activities. No third parties are utilised, and the Charity does not operate any aggressive fundraising activities. All fundraising is carried out in the UK and no individual donations over £25,000 were received from non UK residents.
The Fundraising Department is registered with the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and the Fundraising Regulator, adhering to all statutory requirements. The Charity also follows guidance from the Code of Fundraising Practice, which is continuously developed by the fundraising community through the IoF, to outline the standards expected of all charitable fundraising organisations across the UK.
Staff and Benefactors
This report would not be complete without thanking the Staff, Consultants and Volunteers for all their hard work, and also thanking everyone who has supported the Charity over the past year. Without such generosity and dedication, the Charity could not continue to undertake its charitable commitments.

Relationship with the NHS
The Charity maintains a strong relationship with the NHS which it assists where practicable. The key instances are:
Butterworth Centre
The Charity provides to the NHS the Butterworth Centre which is a unit for older persons with a mental illness. This is a purpose built facility of 45 single bed rooms with en-suite facilities, and which also includes an assessment unit and respite beds, all within the grounds of the Hospital. The aim of the unit is to provide a home for life in a safe environment, whilst ensuring quality of life is maximised through therapeutic and recreational therapy. As with the Hospice, patients receive care and treatment free of charge.
COVID-19: Partnership working with the
NHS
The hospital continues to work with the NHS to provide additional capacity as part of their waiting list reduction initiatives.
We expect this to continue in 2022 and beyond.
NHS GP Services
A local NHS GP Practice, St John’s Wood Medical Practice, and the Primary Care Team operate from premises within the Hospital. This is a seven partner practice looking after over 15,000 patients.
NHS Medical Training Programme
The Hospital is part of the NHS medical training programme, offering rotations for doctors from Charing Cross Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital. A specialist registrar in palliative medicine has been placed in the Hospital as part of the London Deanery specialist training in palliative medicine. Regular attachments for “taster” sessions occur for junior doctors from the Imperial NHS Trust and University College Hospital. Regular teaching is also provided to medical students at Imperial Medical School. This is an important community link to support Government moves to move palliative care into the community. The placements have been rated highly by the trainees.
13
Strategy and Achievements
The Hospital’s aim of continual improvement in key operating metrics for service delivery will enable the Hospital to improve operating performance over time and thereby drive the delivery of the Charity’s objectives.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustee of S.S. John and Elizabeth Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of S.S. John and Elizabeth Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Annual Report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
16
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 auditor’s 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 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 the financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
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.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.
In addition, we evaluated the trustees’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
-
Making enquiries of the trustees and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
-
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
-
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Based on our understanding of the charity and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation, non-compliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID19.
17
Use of the audit report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 01 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments to market value. The SS John and Elizabeth Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Key judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
-
Estimating the useful economic life of fixed assets for the purposes of calculating the depreciation charge
-
Estimating the recoverability of debtors and determining any necessary provision for bad or doubtful debts
-
Estimating accruals with respect to expenditure incurred on charitable activities at year end date
The principal accounting policies are summarised below.
Whilst uncertain, we do not believe that the impact of the COVD-19 virus will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity.
On the basis of their assessment of the charity’s financial position the Trustee Directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Replacement cost is not considered to differ materially from bought in cost.
Debtors
Fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost where this value is greater than £1,000.
Trade and other debtors are recognized at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Depreciation
Freehold land is not depreciated. Other fixed assets are written off by equal annual instalments over their expected useful lives as follows:
-
Buildings are stated at cost and are depreciated from 1 January 1978 or later date of acquisition over 50 years.
-
Building refurbishments are depreciated over 10 years.
-
Machinery, equipment, fixtures and fittings are stated at cost and depreciated over 3 to 10 years
-
Motor vehicles are stated at cost depreciated over a 5 year period
For assets under construction, no depreciation is recorded until the asset is placed in use. When the construction is completed, the assets will be capitalised and depreciated accordingly to the type of fixed assets.
Going Concern
We continue to take a number of measures to monitor and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 virus on the business. This includes safety and health measures for our staff such as enforcing social distancing and remote working where possible, agreement to provide additional capacity support to NHS England, supply chain reviews to secure inventory, draw down from facility agreement to support HJE 2020 progress and continuity of operations.
Investments
Investments are stated at their bid value at the balance sheet date. All movements in value arising from investment charges or revaluation are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Net realised gains or losses on investments are calculated as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the historical cost or from the movement in market values during the year.
Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
22
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the entitlement and the amount. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy.
Income from charitable activities includes income from private patients’ services which is recognised when the service is provided, and income received under contract which is recognised as earned.
Income is deferred when it is received in advance of services being provided to which it relates.
Expenditure
Finance costs
Finance costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as they form part of the cost of that asset. The capitalisation rate used is 3.2%. Other Finance costs are recognised as an expense.
Pension
The Charity operates a number of defined contribution pension schemes. Principal amongst these is the automatic enrolment into the People’s Pension. The Charity also funds personal pensions provided by Aviva.
Eligible employees are able to remain members of the National Health Service Pension Scheme. The assets of each scheme are held separately from those of the Charity in independently administered funds.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis:
-
Raising funds - expenditure incurred on staff specifically employed for fundraising and the cost of specific campaigns and events for the raising of donations
-
Charitable activities - expenditure which is directly attributable to pursuing the Hospital’s charitable objects
-
All irrecoverable VAT is recorded in the appropriate expense category
-
Support costs, including governance costs, are allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources e.g. by occupied floor areas, per capita, full time equivalents, IT ports and other costs by their usage
Funds
Restricted Funds
Donations received for specific purposes, such as the Hospice, are treated as Restricted Funds. Related costs, including depreciation, are charged against these funds.
Unrestricted Funds
These comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on the Statement of Financial Activities, excluding restricted funds. They are available at the discretion of the Corporate Trustee in furtherance of the general charitable objectives of the Hospital.
Finance and operating leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period in which the cost is incurred.
Taxation
The Hospital is a charity within the meaning of Para 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the Hospital is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
No tax charge arose in the period.
Financial Instruments
The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans (Note 9) which is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Measurement of other basic financial instruments as follows:
-
Cash is measured at cash held
-
Debtors is measured at settlement amount after trade discounts or amounts advanced by the charity
-
Creditors is measured at settlement amount or amount advanced to the charity
-
Bank deposit is measured at cash amount of deposit
Assets purchased under finance lease are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written-off to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge.
