## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The  Trustees,  who  are  also  directors  of  the  charitable  company  for  the  purposes  of  the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the consolidated financial statements of the group  for  the  year  ended  31  March  2021.  The  Trustees  have  adopted  the  provisions  of Accounting  and  Reporting  by  Charities:  Statement  of  Recommended  Practice  applicable  to charities  preparing  their  accounts  in  accordance  with  the  Financial  Reporting  Standard applicable in the UK and Republic  of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019). 

## **INTRODUCTION** 

Saint Francis Hospice, one of the UK’s largest hospices and an independent charity, serves the diverse growing population of Brentwood, Havering, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge and West Essex. 

End  of  life  care  is provided  to patients,  and  support to their loved  ones,  both  during  the patient’s  illness  and  continuing  into  bereavement  support,  including  for  children  who  are affected. 

Most people are cared for in the community, by our Specialist Community and Crisis Support Service and by our Hospice at Home team who typically provide care in the last weeks of life. We have a 19 bedded ward to provide care for people with the most complex needs. 

Our  Specialist  Multidisciplinary  Support  Services  team  provide  physiotherapy,  occupational therapy, and family services including social workers. 

As part of our commitment to excellence in end of life care, our onsite Education Centre has excellent teaching facilities and an extensive reference library, and provides training to people on the frontline of palliative and health/social care. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission.  They have referred to  the  guidance  in  the  Charity  Commission’s  general  guidance  on  Public  Benefit  when reviewing the Hospice’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities as demonstrated below.

## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** 

Saint Francis Hospice is committed to helping anyone in our communities affected by a lifelimiting illness, and to ensure they receive excellent person-centred care when they need it, ideally in a place of their choosing. 

The last twelve months have been challenging, with changing models across all services as a result of restrictions caused by the pandemic.  Throughout, patients and families have been supported and have received care albeit delivered in different ways and often using virtual means. 

Across all services, the number of patients cared for increased by 11.8% between 1[st] April 2020 and 31[st] March 2021.  The number of people we have cared for with a non-cancer primary diagnosis continues to rise and is now 38%. 

Inpatient Unit admissions increased by 7.5% despite periods when beds were not available due to Covid restrictions.  Of those admitted 66.5% died in the Hospice, 33.5% were discharged home (including to a care home). 

Our Specialist Community and Crisis Support (SCCS) team has seen a significant increase in the number of face to face or telephone contacts with patients and relatives – 17,834 compared to 16,565 (increase of 7.6%). 

Our Hospice at Home team made 4,537 home visits to 585 people in the last few days of their life,  working  safely  with  PPE  and  social  distancing  where  possible  to  ensure  safety  of  all concerned. 

Pemberton  Place,  our  day  hospice,  was  closed  early  in  the  pandemic,  so  only  47  people attended in person during the last twelve months.  However, all who would normally attend where supported via phone and zoom calls and regular creative therapy packs. 

The  Family  Support  Team  supported  192  people,  with  a  further  513  people  (including  76 children) who received bereavement counselling. 

Further information is available on our website within the Saint Francis Hospice Quality Account 2020/21. 

## **Activity Costs** 

We endeavour to continue to provide all of our services free of charge at the point of delivery. Whilst doing this, we use financial indicators to highlight the actual cost of providing specialist, palliative care services.  The average patients costs were £606 for one day of care in our InPatient Unit; £305 for a Day Therapy Services session;  £54 per hour of care given by the Hospice at Home team, and £286 for a home visit – all of these figures are used as our financial benchmark. 

Five local Clinical Commissioning Groups (NHS) contract us to deliver the provision of end of life services. 

We are absolutely dependent on both our NHS contracts and the generous support of local people and businesses. Public awareness of our services and the work of our fundraising and Retail teams continue to be critical to our organisation since our work requires on going and increased funding to reach people who need our help.

## **SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The enclosed financial statements detail the financial performance and the state of affairs of the  Group  for  the  year  ended  31[st] March  2021.   The  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial Activities shows that income of £12,557,000 (2020: £12,291,000) was received, with related expenditure  in  the  year  of  £10,646,000  (2020:  £11,111,000)  leading  to  a  net  inflow  of resources (before investment gains) of £1,911,000 (2020: £590,000). 

The retail income from our 16 stores across Barking & Dagenham, Brentwood, Havering and Redbridge   including  sale of donated goods unfortunately have not made a contribution in 2020/21  due  the  pandemic  and  has  cost  £1,190,000  (2020  contributed:  £560,000)  to the charity. 

We continue to rely on strong support from our local community and are extremely grateful for the income received from public donations which, including legacies, amounted to £5,319,000 (2020: £6,201,000). 

The NHS and local health trusts have also maintained their commitment to and collaboration with  the  Hospice,  providing  funding  equivalent  to  around  35.5%  (2020:  30.5%)  of  total expenditure. 

The costs of providing services relate primarily to staff salaries with the Group employing on average 183 full and part time staff during the course of the year. 

The operating costs for the Hospice, which includes all the shops, for the year ahead 2021/22, are forecast at £11.4 million in support of a comprehensive range of activities. 

## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties** 

The  Group’s  approach  to  its  Reserves  Policy,  Investment  Policy,  and  Risk  Management  is summarised below. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The  need to retain  reserves has  been  considered  and  reviewed  in detail  on  behalf  of the Trustees by  the  Finance, Audit and  Investment Governance  Committee.  There  remains  an essential requirement to support and maintain the core activities and objectives of the Hospice. Around  70%  of  annual  income  is  expected  to be  generated  from  the  continued  generous support of the local community through donations.  As the economic environment continues to be  difficult,  the  Trustees are  conscious  that income  generated  through  public  donations  is becoming  increasingly  difficult to predict.  This  is particularly  notable  with legacy  income, where greater risk of fluctuation  may be anticipated.  It is, therefore, important to keep a financial buffer to support potential recovery planning, in the light of any significant future income loss. 

The use of free reserves was reassessed during the year as part of the planning and budgetary process aimed 

at ensuring and safeguarding the future requirements of the Hospice’s patients. 

The Trustees continue to financially evaluate the risks and the required level of free reserves to be  set  aside  as  a  designated contingency  fund  and  have  retained  the  agreement  that  it remains a robust and appropriately prudent assumption to work towards a fund equivalent to 12 months’ planned operating costs for the Hospice. 

The existing fund of £18 million is equivalent to approximately 18 months’ planned Hospice 

Page **9** of **48** 



operating costs for 2021/22, which include a provision for inflation. 

Total unrestricted funds amount to £18,229,000 and the Trustees have designated £9,846,000 towards a number of programs and contingencies as described in note 18. General unrestricted funds amount to £8,383,000 (2020: £5,167,000).

## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)** 

## **Investment Policy** 

The Board of Trustees has invested funds to obtain the best return, whilst ensuring easy access to meet the operating costs of the Hospice.  In addition, the Trustees are mindful of social, environmental  and ethical considerations when formulating  investment arrangements.  This and other policy issues have been reviewed by the Audit & Investment Governance Committee. Investec  are  the  appointed  investment  fund  managers  for  the  Group,  and  they  provide quarterly reports to the Finance, Audit & Investment Governance Committee, and attend twice during the  financial year.   During the  year  the  investment  markets  again fluctuated considerably, but the Trustees instructed Investec to continue to take a prudent approach with the Hospice’s investments and have performed to a standard acceptable in light of the market, and worked with sensible caution to fulfil the benchmark criteria given to them. 

The  Hospice’s  over-riding  principle  in  its  Investment  Strategy  is  that  good  liquidity  is maintained  to  meet  operational  needs  and  the  ability  to  respond  to  new  needs  and requirements.  Therefore, only funds not expected to be required in the short term have been invested. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees recognise their responsibility with regard to the assessment of the potential risks to which the Hospice may be exposed.  Existing policies and procedures have been integrated to form a comprehensive risk management strategy with review processes and systems to be used to mitigate identifiable risks. 

The Register continues to operate as the basis for monitoring, review and management of risk by the Hospice’s management team. 

## **Impact of Covid Pandemic** 

The operational and financial impact has been significant in 2020-2021; 

The key risks identified were:- 

- Risks to the safety of Patients and Staff/Volunteers arising from COVID19 transmission and consequential risk to the delivery of clinical services. 

   - To mitigate these risks immediate action was taken to implement our Pandemic Gold command structure. All clinical staff had and still have access to appropriate PPE in accordance with government guidelines; our Working Safely for the Future Policy was implemented and continues to be reviewed every 4 weeks throughout this period.  Extensive  internal  communication  was put in place. All  staff who could work from home were immediately deployed to home with intensive ICT support. 

   - We worked with our local hospital’s Occupational Health department for testing and access to vaccinations which was done for staff and volunteers as part of the first  phase.  Inpatient  beds  were  appropriately  spread  out  which  did  limit availability and visiting was restricted during this period. 

   - Full  risk  assessments  were  undertaken  for  staff  and  facilities  and  regularly reviewed. 

- Risks to our financial sustainability arising from the loss of retail and fundraising income; senior management have revised financial plans and have reduced expenditure by 8%. 

   - We  mitigated  these  risks by  the  Hospice  furloughing  Retail  staff  and  worked closely  with  Hospice  UK  to  receive  Government  financial  support.  We  had 

Page **11** of **48** 



extensive on line communication with our supporters who really responded with PPE, as well as donations. We immediately introduced restrictions on recruitment and  a  planned  programme  of  cost  reduction  to  minimise  spend.  We  have subsequently implemented a phased programme of staff and non-staff spending cuts to assist in the Hospice financial sustainability.

## **SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Impact of Covid Pandemic (continued)** 

- Increased demand for services especially in the community have had an impact on both our  financial  base  and  the  workload  of  our  clinical  team  and  the  Hospice  has collaborated  with  Clinical  Commissioning  Groups  to  understand  their  pressures  and demands in order to be able to deploy our resources as effectively as possible. 

   - To mitigate this on line access was put in place so that patients and family could have support albeit not face to face. 

During the past year, the Hospice has increased support for Staff. The number of mental health first aiders has increased, plus on line support sessions for staff and volunteers. We ensured the counselling service continued on line and fully communicated links and support networks. We continued our Schwartz rounds for staff switching to on line.  For staff who were furloughed we did regular well being check in calls. 

## **Fundraising approach and performance** 

The charity undertakes fundraising activity to its supporters via direct mail, telephone, email, appeals,  fundraising  events,  sponsored  events,  weekly  lottery.  We  are  members  of  the Fundraising Regulator and fundraise in line with the Fundraising Code of Practice set by them. 

Saint Francis Hospice believes it has a legitimate interest in advising the local community about their local  hospice  and  the services available  to them and  the funding  needed  to support delivery of the services that those under our care and their family or registered next of kin benefit  from,  as  well  as  the  wider  community  in  supporting  our  charitable  work.  The organisation complies with the Fundraising Regulator’s requirements and provide a simple and robust way to stop communications that are no longer required. 

Information about supporters is held securely on our central communication database called ThankQ. ThankQ is a Customer Relationship (CRM) Database that enables communications to be managed accordingly and compliantly and holds other relevant information about you that relates to any donations you have given, any fundraising support such as event participation and other details about your interaction with the Hospice. 

A supporter is defined as any individual (including organisations, groups, businesses) who have made or offered to make a financial  donation or give support of any kind to Saint Francis Hospice. They may also be people who have expressed an interest in supporting our work, have requested  information  from  our  fundraising  team,  bought  a  raffle  ticket  or  added  to  our supporter database as legitimately interested people as well as family and next of kin who have experienced our care. 

The types of information that we may collect or hold on you for fundraising and marketing purposes include name, address, contact details including email and telephone where given, family links and relationship nature, donation amounts, method of payment such as cash or direct debit, fundraising or communication reason, employment status where given or other community and hospice links, communication preferences to understand supporters better, or assist with analysis and understanding of who our supporters are and why they’re interested in Saint Francis Hospice. 

- Full details can be found in our Privacy Policy, published on our website www.sfh.org.uk/privacy policy. 

A total of 2 complaints about fundraising (derived from in excess of 100,000 communications) were received in the year and all were promptly resolved without the need for escalation to the regulator or the Information Commissioner.

## **TRUSTEES‘ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Members of the Board of Trustees** 

Each  voluntary  member of the Board  of Trustees (the governing  body) is a Trustee  of the Charity and a Director of the Company.  They are elected by the guaranteeing Members.   The Trustees listed on page one of the accounts were all Members during the period from 1[st] April 2020 to the date of signing these financial statements.

Trustees are  obliged  to make formal  declarations  of interest at each quarterly governance committee meeting and at the Board of Trustees meeting. 

The  work  and  responsibilities  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  is  supported  by  three  Trustee  led governance committees, which meet quarterly: 

- Finance, Audit & Investment Governance Committee – was chaired by Ian Gunn who has been a Trustee since 5[th] July 2019.  This committee oversees the financial aspects of the Hospice, including budget setting and monitoring; the investment portfolio performance and compliance with all legal and statutory requirements including overseeing the audit and audit findings.

The  committee  meets  quarterly  to oversee  Health  &  Safety  and  Risk; Human Resources/Staffing and Equalities; Non Clinical Complaints; Information Governance/Information Communications Technology; Estates and Facilities Management. 

- Clinical Governance Committee – chaired by Dr Robert Weatherstone who has been a Trustee  since  1991.   This  committee  meets  quarterly  to ensure  that  patients  using hospices service receive  the highest possible  standards  of safe, quality care and  to review clinical performance and clinical complaints and serious untoward incidents/serious drug incidents.  The Clinical Governance Committee will ensure that our service users’ voices are facilitated and heard  and that our patients’ and carers’ experiences inform our care and service development 

The Hospice provides Trustee indemnity insurance for the benefit of all Trustees. 

## **Recruitment, Appointment and Induction of Trustees** 

A special Board sub-group (the Governance Steering Group) is charged with recruiting new Trustees, reviewing each Trustee’s training needs and ensuring they are met.  The sub-group also looks at the existing skill mix within the Board to ensure there is a wide expertise profile. All  new  Trustees  undergo  an  induction  programme  based  on  the  model  recommended  by Hospice  UK,  which  involves  structured  training  sessions,  participating  in  the  Hospice’s corporate induction programme and attendance at each of the three governance committees. New Trustees also have an assigned mentor for this period.

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 group 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. 

## **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 group'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. 

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 Trustees’ Annual Report and the Chairman’s Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 

Page **19** of **48** 



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. 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the  information  given  in  the  Trustees’  Annual  Report  (which  includes  the strategic report and the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company  and  its  environment  obtained  in  the  course  of  the  audit,  we  have  not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report). 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate  accounting  records  have  not  been  kept  by  the  parent  charitable company; or 

- the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 12, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial 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 group’s and the parent charitable company’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 group or the parent charitable company 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 

Page **20** of **48** 



or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the  Charity  Act  2011,  Companies  Act  2006,  the  Fundraising  Regulator,  Charity Commission and Care Quality Commission (CQC), and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, FRS102, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) and  payroll tax. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting of inappropriate journal entries and management bias in certain accounting estimates Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates 

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. 

## **Use of our report** 

This  report  is  made  solely  to  the  charitable  company's  members,  as  a  body,  in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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  charitable  company  and  the  charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation of Group Financial Statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Saint Francis Hospice meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102, Assets and  Liabilities  are  initially  recognised  at  historical  cost  or  transaction  value  unless otherwise stated in the relevant account policy note (s). 

The  financial  statements  consolidate  the  results  of  the  charity  and  its  wholly  owned subsidiary Saint Francis Hospice (Trading) Limited on a line by line basis 

## **Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis** 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Hospice’s ability to continue  as a going  concern.  The  most significant area of uncertainty is the level of income  which  needs  to  be  raised  every  year  and  is  covered  in  more  detail  in  the performance and risk sections of the Trustee’s report.  The review of the Hospice’s financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trustees confidence that it remains a going concern for the foreseeable future. 

## **Estimation Uncertainty and Judgements** 

In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision  affects  only  that  period  and  future  periods.   In drawing  this  conclusion,  due consideration has also been given to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the activities of the charity. 

The most significant area of judgement and key assumptions that affects items in the accounts  is  the  estimation  of  income  from  legacies.   The  estimated  value  of  each outstanding legacy at 31 March is calculated in accordance with the principles set out in the  Income  section  below.   Another  significant  area  of  assumption  is  in  respect  of depreciation of fixed assets.  The rates of write down are shown in the Tangible Fixed Assets note  below.  The  Trustees  are  satisfied  that  these  write  down  rates  are  a  reasonable reflection of the expected useful life of the assets in each class. 

## **Income** 

All income  including  donations are recognised  once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probably that income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Legacies are accounted for as income upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.  Material legacies which have been notified but not recognised, as income in the Statement of Financial Activities due to the amount receivable cannot be measured reliably are disclosed in a separate note to the accounts with an estimate of the amount receivable. 

Page **26** of **48** 



Service agreement income is recognised as income in the period to which the income relates. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis once the amounts can be measured reliably.

**SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **Goods Donated for Resale** 

Donated items of goods for resale are not included in the financial statements because the Trustees consider it impractical to be able to assess the amount of donated stocks.  This is because  there  are  no systems  in place  to record these  goods  until  they are sold.   A stocktake would incur costs to the Charity which would far outweigh the benefits. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis once there is an obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.  Where possible costs are allocated directly to main expenditure categories of the SOFA, but where this is not possible these are allocated on the bases set out in the note to the accounts.  Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Expenditure is classified under the following headings: 

Costs of Raising Funds comprise direct fundraising costs incurred in seeking donations, legacies and grants from trusts, together with direct costs associated with trading income together with an allocation of indirect support costs. 

Expenditure  on  charitable  activities  includes  the  direct  costs  of  providing  specialist palliative care and support community services, research and other educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity, together with an allocation of indirect support costs. 

Support costs are those costs which are necessary to the delivery of Hospice services but are not part of the direct costs of the expenditure categories in the SOFA.  These relate to governance, premises, catering, central administration, finance, IT and HR and Vehicles. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets other than land on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.  Fixed assets acquired at a cost of less than £5,000  are  not  capitalised  but  shown  as  expenditure  in  the  Statement  of  Financial Activities. 

Freehold buildings 2% on cost Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 25% straight line Leasehold improvements period of the lease 

## **Investments** 

Investments include listed investments. Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially shown in the financial statements at market value.  They are subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.  Net gains and losses on the SOFA represent realised and unrealised gains on investments.  Realised gains or losses are calculated between sales proceeds and their opening carrying values or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial  year.  Unrealised  gains  or losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year-end and their carrying value. 

## **Stock** 

Stocks of new goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Stocks of donated goods are not included in the financial statements.

**SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors  are  recognised  at  the  settlement  amount  due  after  taking  into  account  any discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due. 

## **Cash and Bank** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening the deposit or similar account 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the charity are either: 

Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees. 

Designated funds – these are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for the specific purposes. 

Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Endowment  funds  –  these  are  funds  where  the  donor  has  requested  that  the  initial donation remains intact. 

## **Pensions** 

A defined contribution pension scheme is in operation for the benefit of its employees.  The assets of the scheme are held independently from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.  The pension costs charged in the financial statements represents the contributions payable during the year. 

The majority of staff are members of either the National Health Service Pension Scheme (“the NHS scheme”) or defined contribution schemes operated by the Charity. Contributions are made by both employees and employer.  Although the NHS scheme is a defined benefit scheme, the nature of the scheme is such that the Charity cannot identify its share of the scheme’s underlying assets and liabilities.  In accordance with FRS102, payments to the NHS scheme have been treated in the same way as contributions to the defined contribution schemes and the payments made by the Charity are charged against the profits of the year in which they become payable. 

The Hospice’s employer contribution to the NHS Pension Scheme is at a rate set by the Government  Actuary.   The  Hospice’s  employer  contribution  to  defined  contribution schemes  is  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the  schemes  and  where  applicable  autoenrolment rules. 

## **Other employee benefits** 

Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received. Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

Page **29** of **48** 



The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments are recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

All  investments  are  held  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  are  valued  at  bid  price.   All investments are under the management of Investec Wealth and Investment Limited. 

The substantial reduction in the value of investments in the year ended 31 March 2020 was as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic; this has been fully reversed in the year ended 31 March 2021. 

Saint Francis Hospice owns 100% of the ordinary share capital of Saint Francis Hospice (Trading  Company) Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (see note 3a). 

The hospice holds investments in the Hospice Quality Partnership.  The nominal value of the investment was £10 at the time of its acquisition. The value of the investment is not readily available or easily quantifiable and consequently, no valuation has been included for this investment in these financial statements.

Children in Need funding has enabled our Child & Family Therapists to support children of those under Saint Francis Hospice care with pre and post bereavement. 

Orangeline offers support for people who experience isolation and loneliness and has been funded specifically by a “Big Lottery” grant. 

Kay Julia Miller Trust Fund is a bequest received to run Pemberton Place which will be a multi user facility supporting people to enjoy complementary therapies, creative therapies, physiotherapy, active groups, breathe easy groups, and social groups. 

Family  support  restricted  funds  are  donations  received  specifically  for  helping  and supporting families and young children; included the grant received from Children in Need. 

Young Adult Transition Group represent donations towards supporting young adults and their families 

The IPU Fund represents donations received for purchasing specialist equipment for our Inpatient Unit. 

Other Restricted Funds represent other donations  in respect of which the donors have restricted the use of the money. 

The transfers were to account for restricted income and expenditure, which had occurred in the prior year but accounted for as unrestricted.

The Contingency fund was set up to ensure that Saint Francis Hospice can continue to function without fluctuations in its services to the community. It is intended that this fund is built up to align with the charity’s reserves policy of maintaining free reserves equivalent to twelve months’ operating costs. 

The Fixed Asset Fund represents the net book value of fixed assets, excluding amounts funded from restricted income. 

Site Development fund represents money received from the disposal of properties set aside to maintain and develop properties owned by the hospice 

The Storm Appeal fund was set up to set aside funds to repair the damage caused to the hospice property following a storm in 2014.  Subsequently the balance will be used to fund some further repairs to the Hospice property. The fund was closed in during the 2020/2021 financial year. 

The ICT Digital Strategy Funds were set up to support a more agile and creative approach to the way services are delivered going forward.
