St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

St Helena wants end of life care to be better for everyone across north east Essex, regardless of where they live, how old they are, or their diagnosis. It has worked with partners in the north east Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance to develop a new population approach to end of life care focused on the ‘10 Outcomes That Matter’ most to people in the last phase of life and their families. 

## These are … 

1. To identify and recognise people in the last 12 months of life 

2. To inform people thought to be within the last 12 months of life and their families of the likelihood of death within the next 12 months, sensitively and honestly 

3. To elicit and record people’s preferences for care during the last 12 months of life 

4. To respect people’s preferences for care during the last 12 months of their life 

5. To ensure people’s preferences for care are accessible to all parts of the health and social care system/end of life care system 

6. To treat people at end of life as individuals, with dignity, compassion and empathy 

7. To control pain and manage symptoms for people during the last 12 months of life 

8. To minimise inappropriate, unnecessary and futile medical intervention during the last 12 months of people’s life 

9. To ensure that people at end of life have equitable access to flexible 24/7 end of life care services, irrespective of the place of care or the organisation/s providing care 

10. To provide support to the families and other carers during and after their loved one’s end of life 

## **Main Activities** 

St Helena has established a 10-year vision to ‘double our reach’.  To achieve this, it continues to explore new ways to provide enhanced care, ease access and provide support to more local people. This includes developing new services and programmes, working with community groups and voluntary organisations, and making sure its facilities are sustainable and future proofed. St Helena recognises that others have an essential role to play in good palliative and end of life care, so it embraces partnership working; and to get the most from this it provides leadership and coordination on behalf of our population. 

Service delivery is organised around two multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) – The Hospice MDT (inpatient care) and Hospice in the Home MDT (community and home based care). Support is offered to patients, family members, and professionals through the 24/7 SinglePoint palliative care coordination centre and end of life care hub. SinglePoint coordinates end of life care services across local providers including GPs, district nursing, the acute hospital, out of hours services and the ambulance service. It also coordinates the My Care Choices Register, a means of capturing and sharing the wishes of people in the last year of life. 

In addition, St Helena provides a range of complementary and support services, including spiritual care, through its own teams and in partnership with community groups and other local providers as part of the Compassionate Communities programme.

St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

Last year St Helena supported over 4,400 people. It wants to do more, and it continues to strive to further strengthen work to personalise care, widen access, and tackle inequalities in both access and outcomes. 

- The charity generates c71% of its income through voluntary, commercial, and charitable means including: • Operating the ‘Your Hospice Lottery’ and the ‘Make a Smile lottery’, both partnership lottery models that involve St Helena providing lotteries to 17 hospices and 19 more good causes from across the country. 

- Retailing through a network of 22 charity shops, online and via the trading subsidiary’s activities. 

- Operating a franchised Domiciliary Care business which provides at home support for private paying clients 

- Operating a commercial contract cleaning business. 

- Gifts in wills. 

- Fundraising through community events, challenges, appeals, corporate and major donors, and individual giving. 

- Submitting bids for specific funding from charitable trusts, the Department of Health and other funders. 

- Building support with the local community to fund specific services. 

- Income from its investment portfolio and interest on temporary surplus cash balances. 

C27% of St Helena’s income is provided through a grant from Suffolk and north east Essex NHS Integrated Care Board. 

The charity is a partner in the Hospice Quality Partnership and procures via available national frameworks organised by this venture or alternatively will conduct tenders for local services. The trustees and executive team review support service and management structures and arrangements regularly. 

During the year, St Helena partnered with Swan Housing Association (acquired by Sanctuary Housing Association in February 2023) to sub-contract to them a range of new services, including an homecare, contracted by the North East Essex Community Services (NICS) collaborative. 

During the year, 234 people began volunteering for St Helena and at the year-end there were 805 volunteers generously giving their time for free. 

## **Strategic Report** 

## **Clinical Achievements and Performance** 

This year has seen St Helena support more people than ever before across each of its In-Patient Unit (IPU), Virtual Ward and SinglePoint services. 

5 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 


St Helena’s inpatient unit supported 405 patients this year, maintaining an average wait time for a bed of just three days. 

It has increased the amount of capacity available in its Virtual Ward, offering more care hours per day and enabling more people to be cared for at home at the end of their life. An admission avoidance audit demonstrated that admission to acute care was avoided in 80% of patients referred to the Virtual Ward. 

Its SinglePoint service, which provides 24/7 access to advice and crisis support, also supported more people this year, taking over 45,500 calls and making 1,588 rapid response visits to patients and families in crisis. 

To improve inclusivity, St Helena partnered with SignVideo so deaf people can video call us via a BSL interpreter. It has also introduced on demand video remote interpreting, which means staff will be able to communicate with deaf patients and visitors on the spot, as and when needed. 

The Safe Harbour project continues to work with local communities to understand and address barriers to accessing end of life care. St Helena held a ‘Hospice for all’ event which invited members of local communities to visit the Hospice to increase their understanding of hospice care and explore some of the issues they experience in accessing hospice services. New partnerships with marginalised communities have been created to help it better understand, co-produce and provide better end-of-life support for all. 

Recognising a gap in local service provision, St Helena has been able to secure funding for a children’s bereavement service which has launched to support children who have been bereaved, regardless of the cause or place of death. 

Working with the East of England Ambulance Service, St Helena secured funding for a pilot project for a paramedic role within its SinglePoint service. The pilot involves four rotational paramedics splitting their working time 50/50 between SinglePoint and their usual role within the Ambulance Service.

St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

The charity remains Outstanding rated by the Care Quality Commission and under their new monitoring regime had no concerns flagged last year. Feedback from Alliance and Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care System partners is positive. 

Feedback from service users is very important to the charity. During 2022/23, the charity received an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars on iWantGreatCare. 

A comprehensive annual Quality Account is published on the charity’s website. 

## **Financial Achievements and Performance** 

The year to 31st March 2023 was a challenging year financially. Significant inflation in areas that directly affect the hospice caused major cost and margin pressures which are continuing into the next financial year. 

Considering the economic backdrop, St Helena performed well across its income generation operations with total income increasing in the year to £19.2m (2022: £18.9m). This increase was, however, not enough to counter the cost rises brought about by the cost of living crisis, leaving St Helena with an operating deficit of 0.88m for the year  (2022: Surplus of £1.23m). 

St Helena’s retail business once again exceeded budget with a net contribution of £1.37m (2022: £0.94m).  It opened two new shops in the year and saw growth across nearly all of its stores.  It continues to focus on expanding this operation, with several more units being investigated for this coming year, as well as further expansion of its café offering and online retail operations. 

St Helena’s lottery business delivered a net contribution of £1.18m (2022: £1.21m). It was a challenging year for this income stream, which relies on regular plays through player direct debits. With the current economic challenges, many players have been cancelling ‘non-essential’ direct debits and this business has felt the impact of this. Despite this, the team has worked diligently to secure new players and promote single ticket sales. The year ahead will continue to be challenging for lottery, but St Helena is securing new partners and is confident of meeting budget. 

St Helena’s fundraising activities delivered a net contribution of £0.63m (2022: £0.64m), exceeding budget. 

Radfield Home Care in support of St Helena (its domiciliary care business) has just completed its first year of trading and is forecast to break even this coming year, in line with its business plan.  St Helena also established a new commercial cleaning business, toward the end of the year which commenced trading in FY24. 

St Helena Hospice Trading Limited, also traded in the year, acquiring new goods on behalf of the retail operation and generated a profit in the year of £11.6k (2022: £31.4k). 

NHS grants amounted to 27% of total income at £5.08m (2022: £4.37m). 

St Helena’s success in income generation was tempered by an increase in costs across the organisation as a result of the economic climate. Significant areas of impact included electricity and gas costs, increased salary costs (both aligning with the NHS’s Agenda for Change wage increase in the year, as well as providing staff 

7 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

with two separate cost of living payments amounting to £750 per employee), and some unexpected works at the Hospice site. 

The end result was an operating deficit of £0.88m for the year (2022: Surplus of £1.23m). Despite this, St Helena’s reserves remain in a healthy position, with free reserves at 31[st] March 2023 of £8.079m (2022: £8.4m), of which £4m is sitting in a Hospice Development Fund to support potential new capital works for a future development of the Hospice. Excluding this designated fund, free reserves at year end are £4.079m, which falls within the upper and lower collar of its reserves policy (of between £3.3m & £4.9m – Reserves Policy outlined below).  This does place significant pressure on our reserves moving into the coming year where cost pressures are expected to continue.

In addition, trustees receive safeguarding and general trustee training. 

## **Principle Risks and Uncertainties** 

St Helena has a risk management strategy that comprises: 

- Maintaining a risk register covering all parts of the organisation.  This identifies which risks need to be escalated across the organisation to the different levels of management 

- Regular reviews of the risks the charity may face. 

- Establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate risks identified in the plan. 

- Maintaining adequate insurance cover. 

The charity has identified the following significant strategic risks and manages them as follows: 

|**Risk Identified**|**Mitigation**|
|---|---|
|Insufficient funding to<br>run the charity.|The charity maintains and develops a diverse range of income sources<br>to spread the risk of shortfalls of income and over dependency on any<br>one source.

There has been no significant change in the risk profile of the charity. 

## **The Year Ahead** 

With a new 10-year vision in place, to double its reach, St Helena is looking to be increasingly innovative in its approach to supporting its community through the model of care it delivers, as well as how it funds it. 

It has forged close working relationships with the local NHS and wider system bodies and is seeking new ways to partner with them to support it in expanding its reach and service offering. 

10 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

St Helena is conscious that as it works towards doubling its reach, it also needs to significantly expand its income streams to fund the high proportion of work that it does not receive NHS grant funding for.  To this end, following year-end, it established a new commercial cleaning business; Total Clean in support of St Helena, which will provide commercial cleaning services into local businesses.  It is also proactively investigating a number of other income generating businesses. 

St Helena is reviewing its current organisational structure to ensure that it is able to separate its charitable activities from its commercial trading ones.  All commercial businesses will be 100% owned by the charity and will gift aid profits back to St Helena, however St Helena wants to ensure that the charitable entity is focused primarily on delivering its charitable objects with the trading subsidiaries focused on generating commercial income to fund them. 

To support St Helena’s 10-year vision, it has developed a strategic plan based on 5 interlinked pillars of transformation: 

## **Pillar 1; Ensure St Helena has a home fit for the future** 

Ensuring that its estate is future-proofed and capable of delivering St Helena’s vision of doubling its reach and providing world class care. 

## **Pillar 2; Grow the outcomes-based population health model for the last phase of life** 

This will be linked to the NHS triple aim: better population health and wellbeing; safe and quality services; and more effective use of available resources. St Helena will work with its partners across health and social care to deliver integrated, person-centred and high-quality care for people in their last phase of life, while improving population health outcomes and reducing costs. 

St Helena aims to foster integrated and person-centred care by aligning its efforts and sharing resources with others. The charity will actively participate in provider collaboratives, workgroups and forums to ensure seamless coordination and cooperation across the healthcare system. Through these collaborative efforts, St Helena will contribute to the overall improvement of population health outcomes and the delivery of highquality end of life care in the region. 

## **Pillar 3; Embrace Technology & digital transformation in all aspects of its work** 

St Helena will use technology and digital tools to enhance its care delivery, improve its efficiency and effectiveness in all areas of its operations, and reach more people in need. It will invest in innovative solutions that enable St Helena to provide personalised and integrated care across different settings and platforms. It will also use technology and digital channels to communicate better with its patients, families, staff, volunteers, supporters and partners. 

This pillar plays a vital role in supporting St Helena’s business and commercial income generation activities, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of its support services. By leveraging innovative digital solutions, the organisation can streamline its operations, optimise resource allocation and improve cost-effectiveness. Technological advancements not only enhance the efficiency of support services but also enable St Helena to explore new avenues for revenue generation and expanded digital engagement with patients, families, and supporters. 

11 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Pillar 4; Be commercially disciplined and enterprising** 

Through the adoption of commercial discipline and an enterprising ethos, St Helena will secure the necessary resources to fulfil its mission and continue providing exceptional care and support to individuals in need. By diversifying income streams (whether from charitable, public or private sources), maximising fundraising potential, managing costs effectively, optimising resources and demonstrating value for money, the charity will ensure its long-term financial sustainability while maintaining a steadfast commitment to its vision of being a leader in caring. 

This may involve forging partnerships with corporate partners, trusts, foundations and other organisations that share its vision and values. By cultivating these collaborations, St Helena can access additional funding opportunities and expand our financial resources. 

## **Pillar 5; Support our colleagues to grow and thrive as we change** 

St Helena is committed to supporting its colleagues to not only adapt to change but also to grow and thrive in an ever-evolving environment. Recognising that change can be challenging, it will provide comprehensive support to foster personal and professional development, empower employees and promote their overall wellbeing. 

One of the ways St Helena will support its colleagues is by offering ongoing education opportunities. It understands the importance of equipping its staff and volunteers with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their roles. 

In addition to education, St Helena will foster a culture of continuous learning. It will encourage its staff and volunteers to engage in professional development activities such as career planning, attending conferences and participating in workshops. 

St Helena also places a strong emphasis on employee wellbeing and work-life balance. It acknowledges the importance of creating a positive and supportive work environment that nurtures the physical, mental and emotional health of its colleagues. Initiatives such as wellness programs, flexible work arrangements and employee assistance programmes are in place to support the wellbeing of employees and address their diverse needs. St Helena recognises the emotional burden associated with much of its work and will ensure support is provided, including through clinical supervision. 

## **Fundraising Practices** 

St Helena’s supporters are very important and it is their support that enables St Helena to do what it does to help the people of north east Essex at a very difficult time in their lives. It aims to ensure that all its fundraising activities are carried out in accordance with best fundraising practice and its supporters and wider public are treated fairly and with respect. 

## **Fundraising standards** 

The charity voluntarily registered with the Fundraising Regulator and works within the Code of Fundraising Practice. Its lottery is regulated by the Gambling Commission and it adheres to the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice as set out by the Gambling commission. 

12 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Working with third party fundraisers** 

So that it can engage with as many potential supporters as possible, St Helena’s staff talk with members of the public both on the telephone and in person. It does also work with external organisations who have specific expertise in this area. All such arrangements are under robust contracts which specify that the activities must be carried out by suitably trained staff and in accordance with applicable laws and codes such as the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice and data protection laws. The charity expects these organisations to reflect its values when working on St Helena’s behalf. In addition to this and as part of its compliance with the Gambling Commission, St Helena has a series of interventions in place to ensure that the work being carried out is to the highest possible standards. This includes, but is not limited to, spot checking of new supporters who sign up in support of the organisation.  All spot checking is logged and narratives kept of each communication with a particular supporter. 

## **Complaints** 

During the year 27 (2022-35) complaints relating to St Helena’s fundraising were received, all of which have been resolved. St Helena views complaints and supporter feedback as important information about the impact on our supporters and an opportunity to learn about and improve our practice. 

## **Protecting vulnerable people** 

St Helena Fundraisers are aware of the Code of Fundraising Practice and in particular, the importance of protecting vulnerable people (and others) from unreasonable intrusion on privacy, unreasonably persistent approaches or undue pressure to give. Our lottery operation has a responsible gambling policy in place which identifies the actions taken to protect the most vulnerable in society. This is also covered in the training that every member of the lottery team has when they join the organisation and at regular intervals. 

## **Investment policy** 

The Charity works closely with its fund managers to ensure its investment portfolio is responsibly managed. This means managed in line with the charities own risk profile, by reputable traders, and in accordance with the purposeful integration of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into investment management processes and ownership practices, and have adopted the following nonexhaustive definitions of the underlying components of ESG: 

- 1 - environmental: issues relating to the quality and functioning of the natural environment 

- 2 - social: issues relating to the rights, well-being and interests of people and communities 

- 3 - governance: issues relating to corporate governance and corporate behaviour 

In addition to applying the above general principles the charity will hold no direct investment in companies whose main source of revenues and profits is derived from tobacco. 

The Charity seeks to produce the best possible financial return within an acceptable level of risk, which is classified as a level 4 by their professional investment managers (with level 1 being the lowest risk level and 6 being the highest). 

The investment objective is to generate a total return of CPI plus 3% per annum over the long- term, net of all fees. The Charity adopts a total return approach to investment, generating the investment return from income and capital gains or losses. Due to the challenging economic environment, this objective has not been achieved this year.  The Trustees remain confident in this investment approach however and it is expected 

13 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

that, in the long term, the real value of the portfolio will be maintained in accordance with the investment objective above. 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

The charity needs financial resources to achieve its purposes and must plan for the longer term to ensure continuity of its services to patients. 

The trustees regularly monitor the reserves policy and the level of reserves required having regard to the following: 

- The charity forecasts of expenditure based on planned activity and the analysis of future needs. 

- The reliability and volatility of income. 

- Funds required for replacing assets. 

- The need to cover contingencies and the ability to be able to respond to unexpected events or opportunities. 

The trustees utilise a risk-based approach for assessing the appropriate level of free reserves (fair value and general reserves). The policy is based on an assessment of the volatility and certainty of each of the organisation’s main income streams; a potential need for unplanned or unexpected expenditure; and the requirement to maintain sufficient working capital to ensure the continuing smooth running of the charity. This assessment produced figures of £1.7m for income volatility and uncertainty, £0.6m for unplanned or unexpected expenditure and £1.8m for working capital requirements, giving £4.1m in total. The trustees consider that it would be appropriate in normal times to maintain free reserves within a range of plus or minus 20% of this figure, giving a free reserves range of £3.3m to £4.9m. Free reserves at 31 March 2023 stood at £8.079mm. This includes £4.0m set aside in a new designated fund, Hospice Capital Fund, to support potential capital infrastructure works for future development of the hospice as described in future plans below. Excluding this designated fund, free reserves amount to £4.079mm. 

The trustees have considered the financial position of the charity, its investment portfolio, its reserves, as well as its cash flow and liquid resources and they believe the charity is able to manage its business risks successfully. 

There are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees having reviewed the evidence have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the near future and can continue to meet its liabilities for the next twelve months. Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. 

## **Related Parties Transactions** 

The charity is the sole adult hospice and lead provider for community end of life care in north east Essex. The charity is a shareholder in the Hospice Quality Partnership, a trading company wholly owned by hospices established to maximise value for hospice care through collaborative procurement and income generation.

## **Remuneration policy for key management personnel** 

The Remuneration Committee, which consists of the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer, has delegated responsibility from the Board for pay and remuneration of the senior management team.  An external agency undertakes benchmarking of salaries with reference to hospice, public, charity and private sectors. The agreed pay policy for senior employees is to aim for salaries and rewards within the range of lower to middle quartile for the relevant role and only in exceptional circumstances to be in the upper quartile. 

## **Diversity, Equity & Inclusion** 

The charity is an equal opportunities employer and committed to a policy of treating all employees and job applicants equally. The aim is for a workforce that will be truly representative of all sections of society, in which all colleagues feel respected and able to give their best. 

It is the policy of the charity to provide equality and fairness for all. This includes taking all reasonable steps to employ and promote employees based on their abilities and qualifications without regard to race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, trade union membership or nonmembership, sex, pregnancy/maternity, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, married or civil partnership status, age, or being a part‐time or fixed term worker. It opposes all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination. 

The charity strives to prevent unfair treatment by operating fair, objective and systematic procedures including: 

- Good communication through the organisation. 

- Recruitment and selection policies 

- Internal promotion opportunities. 

- Robust performance management processes including training and development. 

- Access to support systems such as Employment Support Programme and Occupational Health. 

- Grievance and whistleblowing policy with access to Freedom to Speak Up Guardians. 

- Ensuring the fair treatment and dignity of employees at work and making sure our workplaces are free from harassment, victimisation and bullying. 

The charity treats everyone with dignity and respect and is committed to creating a work environment free of harassment and bullying. 

## **Employee information** 

As at 31 March 2023 there was 337 staff employed (158 full-time and 179 part-time) excluding bank and sessional employees. 

The charity regularly monitors sickness absence, vacancy rates and turnover and continues to perform favourably with NHS and charity sector comparators. In 2022/23, the charity had an average rate of sickness absence of 5.0% and an average turnover rate per month was 1.58%. 

The charity evaluates job descriptions and salaries for all roles externally and uses external benchmarks to ensure that pay policy is consistent and competitive. Pay policy is for salaries to be in the range between the lower and middle quartile for the relevant role and only in exceptional circumstances to be in the upper quartile.

St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

The charity has an employee forum with representatives from across the organisation chosen by employees. It has an Organisational Change Policy that sets out the consultation arrangements used when proposals might affect employment or terms and conditions. 

Internal communications with employees include an online business communication platform from Meta, internal communication emails, regular team meetings, and a quarterly Chief Executive briefing open to all employees and volunteers. The charity ensures information is provided to employees on matters of concern to them including financial and operational performance, changes in the operating environment and new developments or activities. 

Annual appraisals for all staff in the charity include organisational objectives to encourage individual employees to contribute to the overall charity performance and success. 

St Helena also regularly seeks feedback from employees with a view to continuously improving it’s employee support offering. 

## **Relationships with Stakeholders** 

St Helena maintains frequent dialogue and consultation with its key stakeholders, ensuring that it maintains strong and positive relationships, and has regard for its stakeholders in all decisions that it makes.  Patients and family’s feedback through the iWantGreatCare system, as well as other direct pathways, employees are engaged with frequently, including through annual surveys and staff forums, the charity maintains very strong relationships with its local partners and commissioners, including ESNEFT, the local ICB, Northeast Essex Alliance, Colchester City Council and other bodies, and St Helena regularly seeks wider community engagement through pathways including its Compassionate Communities work. 

## **Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting** 

As a charitable organisation, St Helena is required to report its energy use and carbon emissions in accordance with the Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018. The data detailed in this table represent emissions and energy use for which St Helena is responsible, including energy used in our hospice, offices and shops, and fuel used in companyowned or operated vehicles or for company business. We have used the main requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard to calculate our emissions, along with the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2021. Current data capture processes mean that over 92% of figures captured were from actual data sources for energy consumption.

## **Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The trustees (who are also directors of St Helena Hospice for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report including the strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company or group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

17 



St Helena Hospice Limited Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2023 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware. 

- The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31st March 2023 was 48 (2022: 48). The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

## **Auditor** 

The auditor during the year was Sayer Vincent LLP and they have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity. The trustees’ annual report which includes the strategic report has been approved by the trustees on 23 August 2023 and signed on their behalf by 

Nigel Pye Chairman

Independent auditor’s report To the members of St Helena Hospice Limited 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the members of St Helena Hospice** 

We have audited the financial statements of St Helena Hospice (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the 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: 

- 31 March 2023 and of the group’s incoming resources and applica�on of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Chari�es 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 group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company 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 St Helena Hospice'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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, other than the group financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees 

19 



Independent auditor’s report To the members of St Helena Hospice Limited 

are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group 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. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the group financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the group financial statements themselves. 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. 

## 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 informa�on given in the trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements 

- The trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, has 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 their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- Adequate accoun�ng records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- and returns; or 

- 

- We have not received all the informa�on and explana�ons we require for our audit. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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 

20 



Independent auditor’s report To the members of St Helena Hospice Limited 

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 

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charites Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts. 

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 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 are set out below. 

## Capability of the audit in detec�ng irregulari�es 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- suppor�ng documenta�on, concerning the group’s policies and procedures rela�ng to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of mee�ngs of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on those laws and regula�ons that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the opera�ons of the group from our professional and sector experience. 

- We communicated applicable laws and regula�ons throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indica�ons of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- assess compliance with applicable laws and regula�ons. 

- We performed analy�cal procedures to iden�fy any unusual or unexpected rela�onships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in 

21 



Independent auditor’s report To the members of St Helena Hospice Limited 

are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 and section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 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.

## **St Helena Hospice** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

**For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **r) Pensions** 

## **AVIVA Pension scheme** 

Employees can join a defined contribution pension scheme which is administered by Aviva. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 9. The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employees' contributions. 

## **NHS Pension scheme** 

Staff transferring from the NHS may continue to contribute to the NHS scheme. 

Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the two NHS Pension Schemes. Details of the benefits payable and rules of the Schemes can be found on the NHS Pensions website at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/pensions. Both are unfunded defined benefit schemes that cover NHS employers, GP practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in England and Wales. They are not designed to be run in a way that would enable NHS bodies to identify their share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, each scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme: the cost to the NHS body of participating in each scheme is taken as equal to the contributions payable to that scheme for the accounting period. 

In order that the defined benefit obligations recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from those that would be determined at the reporting date by a formal actuarial valuation, the FReM requires that “the period between formal valuations shall be four years, with approximate assessments in intervening years”. An outline of these follows: 

## **a) Accounting valuation** 

A valuation of scheme liability is carried out annually by the scheme actuary (currently the Government Actuary’s Department) as at the end of the reporting period. This utilises an actuarial assessment for the previous accounting period in conjunction with updated membership and financial data for the current reporting period, and is accepted as providing suitably robust figures for financial reporting purposes. The valuation of the scheme liability as at 31 March 2023, is based on valuation data as 31 March 2022, updated to 31 March 2023 with summary global member and accounting data. In undertaking this actuarial assessment, the methodology prescribed in IAS 19, relevant FReM interpretations, and the discount rate prescribed by HM Treasury have also been used. 

The latest assessment of the liabilities of the scheme is contained in the report of the scheme actuary, which forms part of the annual NHS Pension Scheme Accounts. These accounts can be viewed on the NHS Pensions website and are published annually. Copies can also be obtained from The Stationery Office. 

## **b) Full actuarial (funding) valuation** 

The purpose of this valuation is to assess the level of liability in respect of the benefits due under the schemes (taking into account recent demographic experience), and to recommend contribution rates payable by employees and employers. 

The latest actuarial valuation undertaken for the NHS Pension Scheme was completed as at 31 March 2016. The results of this valuation set the employer contribution rate payable from April 2019 to 20.6% of pensionable pay. 

The actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2020 is currently underway and will set the new employer contribution rate due to be implemented from April 2024.
