CHAIRMAN’S AND CEO’S REPORT

In an unprecedented year, we have had to adapt and face significant operational and financial challenges head on. It’s not surprising that our focus became more operational with strategic imperatives paused. Of primary importance as we review this last year, we would like to pay tribute to the executive leaders and the wider staff for their management of the crisis, maintaining the excellent standards of care we are known for, including implementing a range of critical safety measures that needed to be put in place.

The majority of our patients are in the extremely clinically vulnerable or vulnerable groups and were advised to shield. The services teams adapted quickly to guidance on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) which included the use of Personal Protective Equipment for all patient encounters as well as regular testing of staff, patients and visitors. The hospice is proud to have been able to put the infection control measures in place to allow visitors throughout the year, albeit with reductions to the number of visitors allowed and limiting the duration of visits. This meant that wherever possible, we enabled family members to be with their loved one as they died. Multi-professional community care continued, with a move to providing as many consultations as possible remotely via telephone or video, limiting visiting to situations where face to face assessment was essential.

Our success is due to our staff and our dedicated volunteers. We recognise that investing in our people is key to maintaining the excellent service provided. The pandemic placed considerable burdens on staff through the decision to furlough many colleagues, the immediate deployment of new ways of working and an absolute focus on safe care through infection prevention and control discipline. Our ability to offer vaccinations to staff, soon after they became available to us, meant we were able to keep our staff safe.

We also note the humbling contribution and ongoing support of our volunteers during this difficult year whose contribution was also disrupted significantly. A number of volunteers actively continued to support the hospice in its service delivery, for example in counselling and visitor screening, even in the face of the limitations on face to face contact that were needed.

Alongside the challenges to service delivery posed by COVID-19, the impact on our ability to sustain and increase our income was significant. During the year, we saw our comparable year on year income drop

by 19.5% arising from the cancellation of most events and the closure of our shops during lockdowns. However, we have been touched by the incredible generosity of our community as our income generation team adapted their approach, focusing on a programme of supporter stewardship and fast tracking planned digital fundraising. We are very grateful to every person who has supported us over the past year, whether as an individual, family, group, Trust or company.

In anticipation of our income and cost challenges, we proactively carried out a full workforce review, providing a solid and efficient organisation structure, supported by multidisciplinary teams in support of our patients, families and friends, as we emerge from the pandemic, rebuilding our income and services in line with our strategic vision. This alongside focused cost containment resulted in a 9.2% saving of expenditure against the prior year.

In support of our financial position, we received emergency government funding support of £2.3m through Hospice UK negotiations, furlough and retail grant schemes. We would like to highlight the exceptional role Hospice UK provided in supporting

all UK hospices with central government funding negotiations. We also appreciate the government’s recognition of the support needed by hospices, not only during this financial year, but in support of the build back of our income streams and capacity for the local health and care system.

As stated above our focus on strategic delivery was reprioritised due to the demands of pandemic response. Our plans for the new hospice at Pease Pottage were paused during the year. In January 2021, the Board approved the project to proceed at a revised cost of £16.3m with a modified design to meet the funds available. The Board approved to re-engage the Capital Appeal with a target of £1.5m, supported by external advice. The support of all donors is warmly recognised by the Trustees as we are committed to maximise the invaluable contribution that underpins this project.

With our NHS commissioning arrangements under review with NHS System leaders in both Surrey and Sussex, St Catherine’s must now work afresh to build a profile with NHS system leaders in both areas and the importance of hospice collaboration

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 4

“Clearly, building back our income streams is key whilst recognising that COVID-19 protection measures will be a part of our care and other activities for the foreseeable future.”

to amplify this voice cannot be overstated. The seven Sussex hospices have been pursuing a collaboration programme since 2018. Although the pandemic brought a pause in the collaborative workstreams that had been agreed at the end of 2019, the seven hospices continued to support one another through mutual aid and knowledge sharing. Work will continue to progress these initiatives and more opportunities will be developed in the year ahead including a new focus on building a similar profile with our Surrey hospices. While each hospice holds fast to its local identity, we recognise the benefit of working together to make the most of our knowledge and resources in benefitting patients and families.

Clearly, building back our income streams is key whilst recognising that COVID-19 protection measures will be a part of our care and other activities for the foreseeable future.

Pivotal to our immediate and longterm future must remain our people plan delivery which has rightly focused on the safety and wellbeing of our staff so they can continue to offer our patients safe and effective care. Going forward we must continue to address our workforce requirements providing an inclusive culture that reflects the communities we serve in tandem with developing our staff and leaders who can help us shape the future.

TRUSTEES’ / DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Trustees are pleased to present their report and the audited financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021, a year in which hospice activities were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company has chosen in accordance with section 414C(11) of the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 to set out within the company’s strategic report the Company’s Strategic Report Information required by Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium Sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008. This includes information that would have been included in the business review and details of the principal risks and uncertainties.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The hospice is a company limited by guarantee, and is a registered charity governed by its Articles of Association.

The principal activity of the company is that of a hospice, caring for people at the end of their lives and supporting their families, friends and carers across our catchment area of Surrey and Sussex by providing in-patient beds and community outreach services. In addition, there is a wholly owned subsidiary company, St Catherine's Hospice Trading (Sussex) Limited (Company number 2822933), which raises funds for the hospice.

The hospice’s charitable objectives which were set by the Trustees, with due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, are:

St Catherine’s Hospice services are provided equally to all members of its community with no charges levied to patients or their families. The NHS

provide partial funding of the healthrelated services provided, requiring over 70% of the hospice’s expenditure to be met through fundraising and trading activities actively supported by the generosity of the local community and its donors.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, in St Catherine’s catchment area there were approximately 5,600 deaths each year, of which 20-25% could be classed as sudden or not predictable. Approximately 4,000 local people would therefore benefit from palliative care as they approach the end of life. St Catherine’s is currently only able to reach one third of these people, a position we strive to improve.

Projections of future palliative care requirements will increase demands on the hospice by patients with increased clinical complexities and the evidence base is awaited as to how COVID-19 will further inform this picture. The increasing need is driven by an aging population and advancing medical care enhancing the life expectancy of patients managing life limiting and terminal illness, who will also live with greater co-morbidities. To support this, the Trustees recognise their responsibility to ensure that the charity maintains its high levels of care whilst

developing its expertise and reach to support its community further. Again, the implications for our service because of the palliative needs of survivors of COVID-19 is a new factor to consider and we will continue to work with NHS leaders and the broader hospice sector to consider this important emerging dynamic.

Our Vision

A world where everyone can face death informed, supported and pain free.

Our Mission

Pioneering standards in expert care and support, for anyone facing death and bereavement.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievements and Performance

St Catherine's has continued to demonstrate significant impact in its community promoting continuing excellence even in the face of the toughest challenge placed on healthcare organisations in living memory. As a result, our focus was on delivering a safe and effective service, whilst supporting our staff and protecting our income to ensure our future sustainability.

“For me the hospice is like a second home and family. It’s a place that gave me hope and made me see the whole world with different eyes. And every patient I’ve cared for has given me a life lesson.” Ela, Staff Nurse

Staff and Volunteers

The pillar to all our success remains our staff and our dedicated volunteers. This year:

“Being able to visit Anthony brightened my spirits. After not being able to see him in hospital it made such a difference. I always felt safe that I was being looked after, so was Anthony and the other patients, with COVID temperature checks and PPE. That was really reassuring.” Arlene, Relative

Service Delivery

The COVID-19 pandemic presented considerable challenges to provision of services throughout the year.

which uses hospice expertise to support care homes across Sussex and East Surrey to improve skills and confidence in end of life care.

“The Telephone Buddy scheme has made a real difference. I’m classified as extremely vulnerable so I’m not able to go out and I only get the odd conversation with people. Speaking to Graham each week has been a lifeline.” Earl, Patient

Investing in New Premises

The SMT and Trustees took the decision to pause the new hospice build programme during 2020 while the charity focused on its financial and operational response to COVID-19.

Providing Leadership in End of Life Care

The Trustees recognise the importance of being a core and integrated part of the healthcare infrastructure to maximise the care and support given to the community it serves. The charity collaboratively works with existing and emerging new NHS and social care structures across Sussex and Surrey.

“It’s a privilege to be given a window into someone’s life. One gentleman I rang was a jazz singer and musician who’d sing to me on the phone. It was magic. Our calls gave him an outlet to express himself and his treasured skill, and it was lovely for me to validate his interests.” Hannah, Volunteer

Voluntary Income

Alongside the challenges to service delivery posed by COVID-19, the impact on our ability to sustain and increase our income was significant.

Reserves and Going Concern

During the financial year robust forecasts were produced to 2024/25 supporting the strategic direction of the hospice informing the Trustees’ decision making process in the new hospice development. The impact of COVID-19 and the resultant COVID-19 centred risk register focused the Trustees and Executive’s attention to monthly reforecasts during the year, which reverted to quarterly from Q4 2020/21 as volatility eased and a clearer line of sight was obtained.

Having reviewed and formally agreed the forecasts and cashflows prepared in January 2021, together with the Executive’s recovery plans, the Trustees believe, to the best of their knowledge, that the charity remains a going concern for the 12-18 month period from the date of approval of the financial statements.

St Catherine’s reserves policy is to maintain free reserves at a level that is sufficient to protect services from the potential financial impact of known significant risks over the short to medium term. The assessment of risks to inform the reserves policy is derived from the corporate risk register, with the key risks detailed on page 15 and 16 and is reviewed at least annually or more frequently if there is a major change in circumstances. In addition to known and approved capital and other commitments, which are set aside as designated funds, the charity’s policy is to hold between £4 and £9 million in general reserves. This policy remains valid having overlaid and tested the COVID-19 risk register and associated financial impact.

The net movement in reserves in the year is set out in Notes 19 to 22 to the accounts.

Total reserves at 31st March 2021 were £25.3m, (2020 - £23.3m), with available reserves of £21.2m and Free General Reserves of £6.6m (note 19), (2020 - £5.3m).

Net Expenditure excluding COVID-19 (C-19) government support during the year was £256k.

Focusing on Unrestricted General Reserves which is equivalent to the hospice’s operational position a net loss of £858k was seen in year as a direct impact of the pandemic on voluntary income generation, excluding government support. The build back of the investment market resulted in a net unrealised gain of £541k resulting in net loss on unrestricted general reserves of £317k, as illustrated in the table below:

Restricted Reserves
Govt Support
Unrestricted General Reserves
Balance as at 01/04/2020 £7.3m
Income / (Expenditure) on operational activities (£0.8m)
Investment Gains / (Losses) £0.5m
Net Income / (Expenditure) (£0.3m)
Balance as at 01/04/2021 £7.0m
C-19 HUK Income £1.6m
C-19 Furlough Income £0.5m
C-19 Rates Grants Income £0.1m
C-19 Net Government Support £1.6m £0.6m
C-19 HUK Funded Cost Transfer (£1.6m) £1.6m
Other Transfers (£0.7m)
Balance as at 01/04/2021 £0.0m £8.5m

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 14

Government Support by way of Furlough and Retail Rates Grants totalling £600k was received supporting the hospice’s staffing and retail costs during the year where fundraising and retail income were severely affected to maintain safety, complying with government guidelines. This funding improved the net unrestricted expenditure position from £317k to a net income of £283k as seen in the SOFA on page 25.

The hospice was supported during the year with Government support negotiated by Hospice UK with NHSE to a value of £1.6m, and restricted to support patient care against charitable costs, excluding income generation, in its delivery.

A further £0.2m of funding was received by local CCGs, restricted in support of the provision of additional capacity with clear restricted cost alignment in the year.

The restricted HUK receipts of £1.6m have been matched to cost via a reserve transfer from unrestricted general funds to restricted funds, thus preserving transparency of operational cost and year on year comparisons.

The hospice’s “free” reserves (unrestricted general reserves less the value of unrestricted fixed assets) at 31 March 2021 were £6.6m as seen in note 19, which aligns with the charity’s reserves policy.

Market Value of Land and Buildings

Freehold land in Crawley was donated to the hospice and valued at £60,000 by the Directors in December 1983. All other freehold land and buildings shown in Fixed Assets in the Balance Sheet are included in the financial statements at cost or open market value if lower. In the opinion of the Directors, the open market value of the freehold land and buildings is not less than the amounts shown in the financial statements.

Investments

A formal evaluation of each fund managers’ performance and consideration of the need to undertake full market testing is undertaken every 3-5 years. The Financial Sustainability Committee will give consideration to the timing of this evaluation at the same time as it reviews the overall investment policy.

The overall objective of the charity for its investments, which represent reserves held consistent with its reserves policy, is to provide financial security and stability, recognising that the charity is exposed to a degree of financial risk due to the variable and uncertain nature of its income streams.

Note 14 gives further information on the Investment position as at 31 March 2021.

The Trustees have agreed that the charity’s assets can be invested widely and should be diversified by asset class, by manager and by security. Asset classes could include cash, bonds, equities, property, hedge funds, structured products, private equity, commodities, and any other asset that is deemed suitable.

A significant element of the charity’s investments are held with Rathbone Investment Management, Sarasin and Partners LLP and CCLA, where investments have been de-risked or held as short term cash deposits to protect funds required for the imminent New Hospice build.

The charity seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The charity has adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict with its aims or can lead to reputational damage. The investment objective for the long-term fund is returns which over a rolling 5 years achieve of CPI +4%.

Given the pandemic and the risks associated with future performance as we re-start our New Build project, the Financial Sustainability Committee are considering the investment strategy to continue to protect funds available for the project, but also to ensure that funds are not put at risk in support of operational requirements during this period.

The Financial Sustainability Committee has responsibility for agreeing the investment strategy, setting benchmarks and monitoring the investment assets on a quarterly basis.

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 15

QUALITY

We have maintained our focus on the quality and reach of our services and income generation development, whilst strengthening our supporting activities through our integrated governance framework.

We have continued to meet its high standards of care, including the introduction of critical safety measures to protect our patients, families, staff and volunteers.

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 16

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed, both operationally and financially.

A formal strategic risk register is maintained and regularly reviewed during the year by the Senior Management Team and appropriate Committees, chaired by a Trustee. The Trustees recognise that effective risk management is integral to the achievement of the charity’s strategic and operational objectives. A comprehensive risk management framework is in place to ensure the effective management of both strategic and operational risks. Training is in place for managers as part of the charity’s management training programme.

In response to the COVID-19 emergency, an additional risk profile was managed by the SMT. As the impact of COVID-19 became a part of our new normal ways of managing the organisation, the risk register was subsumed into the hospice’s strategic and operational risk register. The table below highlights the significant risks identified on the charity’s risk register and agreed by the Trustees:

However, we will also focus on the financial impact of the pandemic and any emerging clinical needs in relation to delivery of care to people who are at their most vulnerable.

Income

Recognising that COVID-19 will be a part of our lives for the foreseeable future we will continue to adjust to ensure a sustainable future.

Staff and Volunteers

The key focus will be on delivering the People Plan, which immediately focuses on the safety and wellbeing of our staff:

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 18

Investing in New Premises

Work will commence this year to prepare the organisation for the transition to the new premises, incorporating the lessons from undertaking care and providing a safe facility during the pandemic.

Developing our Service Proposition

With our restructured service delivery model in place we can focus on safely delivering our key service priorities more efficiently across multidisciplinary teams as we work towards our transition to the new hospice.

Providing Leadership in End of Life Care

These service priorities remain as follows:

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 19

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The directors are also the Trustees of the charity for the purposes of company law and as such are responsible for the management of the hospice’s affairs and its future strategy. The Trustees are required to hold at least four Board meetings a year. There are six committees, chaired by a Trustee which are attended by the appropriate Senior Management Team Member(s), which meet prior to and feed into each Board meeting.

Rotation, recruitment and appointment and induction of Trustees

The Trustees consider it essential that the Board is strong, well-balanced and effective comprising members with the requisite professional skills and experience in healthcare or local services to properly represent users of the charity’s services. Looking forward, the Board will carefully consider how to increase its diversity and inclusion to better meet the needs of the local population.

Trustees are recruited through local advertising and a robust selection process. Trustees serve for a maximum of two terms of four years each.

An induction programme is provided to all new directors. They are advised of their responsibilities as directors and Trustees, including their legal

obligations under charity and company law and the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, given copies of the charity’s governing documents, and are appraised of the charity’s aims and activities, current financial performance and its plans for the future. All Trustees receive an annual performance review and are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

The Trustees who served St Catherine’s Hospice during the year were as follows:

Terence O’Leary Chairman of the Board & Chair Remuneration Committee

Catherine Blackburn Chair People and Development Committee Lisa Compton Chair Quality Committee Jan Dowding Resigned July 2021 Co-Chair Financial Sustainability Committee to June 2020

Gregory Andrews Chair Financial Sustainability Committee from June 2020

Gemma Dawson Appointed November 2020 Philip Ingleby Appointed November 2020 Richard Griffin Appointed November 2020 Christine Maclean

Resigned June 2020 Chair Board Effectiveness Committee to June 2020

Given his significant relevant experience, the charity is delighted to enjoy the support of one of its Vice Presidents, Andrew Wates, who leads the New Build Project Board. Also supporting this effort is Mr Bill Mackie whose guidance on legal and other matters impinging on the new build programme has been, and remains, greatly valued.

Two Trustees resigned during the year. The Trustees would like to thank them for their valuable contributions during their time with St Catherine’s Hospice.

Three Trustee elects were formerly appointed as Trustees in November.

Following the changes in Trustee during the year and in line with the rotational expectations, a reorganisation of the committee chairs was made with those changes in place from June 2020 as shown above.

The General Meeting was virtually held this year, where the Trustees provided an overview of our achievements and future plans, allowing additional challenge to the Trustees and the organisation, on behalf of the community.

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 20

Senior Management Team

The Board delegates the day-to-day management of the hospice to the Chief Executive, Giles Tomsett and the officers of the company:

Claire Irving acted as Chief Executive for the period between February and June 2020, covering Giles Tomsett during an approved three-month unpaid sabbatical. On his return, the Chief Executive also took over responsibility for Wellbeing Services, pending the service delivery restructure which commenced in April 2021. The Trustees would like to thank Giles and Claire for their significant contribution during this period.

The charity has set up a clear pay progression arrangement for its senior leaders which reflects arrangements in place for all staff and managers. As the charity strives to make its reward offer as competitive as it can afford, it will continue to consider managers and senior management remuneration. The pay points for the Senior Management Team are now in place having recently been set, using benchmarks for similar sized charities. Pay progression for these senior officers is delegated to the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive’s pay also progresses over several pay points and progression is agreed by the charity’s Remuneration Committee.

The Senior Management Team meets weekly, rotating meetings to review strategy and business plan delivery,

the quality management system across all activities, risk management and operational service performance, including budgetary review and regular reforecasting. The SMT have been trialling the closer engagement of the charity’s senior managers recognising the risk that the pandemic might impact the availability of leaders at any time. This pilot has proven very successful and will be consolidated within the charity’s Integrated Governance Framework.

and the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, FRS 102.

Company law requires the directors 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 the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period.

Information is cascaded to the Heads of Department and key managers in two monthly interactive update sessions and to staff through appropriate all staff meetings, awards events and departmental team meetings. In the last year all meetings were held virtually. Trustees are invited to attend these meetings periodically to assure themselves of the quality of communication, education and training that is being provided.

In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:

AUDITORS REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of St Catherine’s Hospice Limited for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Hospice Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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:

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

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 Chairman’s and CEO’s Report and in the Trustees’ 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

ST CATHERINE’S HOSPICE | REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020-2021 23

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:

Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 20, 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 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 charity and company law applicable in England and Wales, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the 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 and the Charities Act 2011, and consider other factors such as sales tax 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 the improper recognition of revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

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.

Accounting Policies

Principal Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of Accounting

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 (FRS 102) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The hospice meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Legal Status of the Charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member.

Going Concern

Having given prioritised oversight of, the financial forecasts, cashflows and risk register during the year in response to the pandemic and its impact on future aspirations, the Trustees have realigned the hospice’s future strategic direction to meet short to medium term constraints. The Trustees, therefore, consider that there are no material uncertainties about St Catherine’s Hospice Limited’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Free reserves stand within the charity’s reserves policy requirements which has been agreed on a risk-based profile. Medium-term forecast projections indicate that the charity’s free reserves remain within its policy’s acceptable limits.

Material Areas of Judgement

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 Donation, Grants and Other 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 section 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.

Group Financial Statements

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly-owned subsidiary St Catherine’s Hospice Trading (Sussex) Limited on a line by line basis. A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations where the donor has specified they should only be used for particular areas of the hospice’s work. The aim and use of each designated and restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Donated Assets

Tangible assets donated to the hospice are recorded at the original estimate of their value to the company.

A donation of land was received in 2019/20 and accounted for in accordance with this policy ensuring the valuation was a fair value, carried out by external professional valuers, as defined within FRS102 being the “amount for which an asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, or an equity instrument granted could be exchanged, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction”.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed assets other than donated assets are stated at historical cost. All assets costing more than £2,000 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write down each asset to its estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:-

Page | 28

Accounting Policies

Freehold buildings 2% per annum on cost Extensions and refurbishments 10% per annum on cost Equipment (excluding leasehold improvements) 25% or 17% per annum on cost Leasehold improvements calculated on remaining length of lease Computer Equipment 25% per annum on cost Motor vehicles 25% per annum on cost

Taxation

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in the Finance Act 2010 and therefore meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation on income or capital gains to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Operating Leases

Rental costs under operating leases are charged to the general fund operating account in equal annual amounts in accordance with the terms of the lease. Any benefits received or receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension Contributions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme, the assets of which are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds chosen by individual staff. Some staff participate in the NHS defined benefit pension scheme. Any resulting liabilities on this scheme would be met by the State. Therefore, contributions payable for the year in relation to either scheme are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.

The company also participates in a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 950 non-associated participating employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore, it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.

The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore, the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.

The charity is also making additional payments into the fund in order to eliminate the deficit. These payments commenced in April 2013 and are currently scheduled to continue until January 2025. To recognise the future liability and in accordance with FRS 102 the Trustees have agreed to make a provision for the present value of the outstanding deficit contributions.

Further details including the current buy-out debt amount and value of the provision are given in Note 11.

Donations Grants and Other Income

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Page | 29

Accounting Policies

the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated Goods and Services

Donations of goods and services, including seconded NHS doctors, are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from its use is probable and the economic benefit can be reliably measured. These items are included in income at the estimated value of the gift to the charity when received based on the amount the charity would have been prepared to pay had it been required to purchase them.

Volunteers

The value of the services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Further details of their contribution are provided in note 12.

Expenditure

Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis once there is a legal obligation to make a payment, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is categorised under the following headings:

Costs of raising funds comprises fundraising costs incurred in seeking donations, grants and legacies; investment management fees; costs of fundraising activities including the costs of goods sold, shop costs, commercial trading and their associated support costs. Fundraising costs do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the hospice’s charitable activities.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of providing specialist palliative care and support to patients, their families and the wider community; research and other educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Support costs comprise those costs which are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the hospice and include governance cost, finance and office costs. Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with complying with constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. Where practicable irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs are allocated to each of the activities on a variety of bases, principally headcount, floor area or time spent on activities depending on the nature of the support costs, to best allocate the costs to each attributable heading. More details on the analysis and basis of allocation is given in note 6.

Financial Instruments

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

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price, except for the shares in the trading subsidiary which are carried at cost. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the

Page | 30

Accounting Policies

net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired during the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments. The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity and bond markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitudes of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and other instruments within particular sectors.

Stock

Stock of goods for resale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Stock donated for resale are not included in the financial statements until they are sold because the Trustees consider it impractical to be able to assess the amount of donated stocks as there are no systems in place to record these until they are sold and undertaking a stock take would incur undue cost and income loss for the charity which would far outweigh the benefits.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due. Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid deposits with a short maturity of 95 days or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the account.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due for settlement can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount.

There were no other related party transactions in the current year or previous year.

11 Pension Contributions

The charity makes contributions to the National Health Service Pension Scheme for participating employees. The NHS Scheme is a defined benefit scheme. As the scheme is a multi-employer scheme and the charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities, this scheme is accounted for by the charity as a defined contribution scheme. Any resulting liabilities on this scheme would be met by the State. Therefore, contributions payable for the year in relation to the scheme are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.

The company participates in a pension scheme operated by the Pensions Trust called Growth Plan, with further details in accounting policies on Page 31.

The charity has been notified by The Pensions Trust of the estimated employer payment on withdrawal from the scheme as at 30 September 2017. As of this date the estimated employer payment for the hospice was £513,265. The potential debt is not included in the financial statements.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2017. This valuation showed assets of £794.9m, liabilities of £926.4m and a deficit of £131.5m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

£11,243,000 per annum payable monthly and increasing From 1 April 2019 to 31 January 2025: by 3% each on 1st April)

Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustees the term to 31 January 2025 applies.

Note that the scheme’s previous valuation was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2014. This valuation showed assets of £793.4m, liabilities of £969.9m and a deficit of £176.5m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustees have asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

£12,945,440 per annum (payable monthly and increasing From 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2025: by 3% each on 1st April) £54,560 per annum (payable monthly and increasing by From 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2028: 3% each on 1st April)

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 scheme liabilities.

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.

A rate of discount of 2.5% has been assumed in both 2019/20 and 2020/21 representing the Hospice’s estimate of the cost of money to the charity.

The hospice also participates in a defined contribution pension scheme operated by the Pensions Trust, the assets of which are held separately from those of the hospice. Employees contribute between 3.2% and 6% of their salary with the charity contributing 150% of the employee contribution

The total pension cost charge of the group represents contributions payable by the charity and amounted to £604,000 (2020: £544,000). The figures have been shown net of NHS funding.

At the year-end contributions outstanding totalled £0 (2020: £90,000) and are included in the creditors. The estimated employer pension contributions payable by the company in 2021/22 is £600,000.

12 Volunteers

The charity is dependent upon a team of part-time voluntary helpers who assist in all areas of the charity’s care.

There are three key types of volunteer:

Hospice Volunteers - providing a range of clinical services (e.g. complementary therapy, counselling, patient drivers) and support services (e.g. administration, hospitality, gardeners).

Retail Volunteers - providing sorting and till support to 14 charity shops, our warehouse and e-commerce work.

Community - supporting our fundraising work through Friends groups, running street collections and supporting events (e.g. marshalling, registration, refreshments, game stalls).

The pandemic has affected volunteering and our volunteers in many ways, as we have learned to adapt to the impact of COVID-19. We initially stood down all volunteers (with exception of our Counselling volunteers who continued throughout) and as we required their services in the face of an everchanging environment and working practices, they have continued to support us where they are safely able.

During 2020/21 we recruited 66 new volunteers, received over 370 enquiries to volunteer and created 7 new roles to help us deal with the challenges that COVID-19 placed upon us. We had over 220 volunteers supporting us at various times throughout the pandemic and for those who couldn’t, they remained supportive and ready to return once we felt it was safe to do so.

Supporting Notes to Financial Statements

All the tangible fixed assets of the group are part of the accounts of the main charity.

Freehold land at Malthouse Road was donated to the hospice and valued at £60,000 by the Directors in December 1983.

Freehold land at Pease Pottage was donated to the hospice in December 2018. The Trustees carried out a valuation, supported by a firm of independent advisors, who valued the land at £1,000,000. The basis of value is at a fair value, as defined within the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102, being “the amount for which as asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, or an equity instrument granted could be exchanged, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction”. This valuation assumes that conditions within the transfer for starting the development are met such that the option to purchase for £1 is not exercised. This option is exercisable should the development of the new hospice not take place and ceases 28 months after the transfer of the land.

All freehold land and buildings are included in the financial statements at lower of cost and open market value. In the opinion of the Directors, the open market value of the freehold land and buildings is not less than the stated value.

Designated funds have been agreed by the Trustees to support costs in the delivery of its strategic goals.

New Hospice Fund

As described in the Trustees’ / Directors’ report St. Catherine’s will be building a new hospice at Pease Pottage following the generous donation of five acres of land from Mr Bill Bridges and a donation from Mr John Shemeld in excess of £6m, representing monies set aside to finance the future major capital developments that are required to maintain and enhance the services of the hospice. This fund has been supported by the charity’s reserves, including an additional funds transfer of £300k agreed by the Trustees, and the Capital appeal which aims to raise £3.2m, of which £1.8m has been raised to date, as detailed in note 20.

Strategic Delivery Fund

The Trustees have agreed to designate funds in support of the delivery of the charity’s strategic aims with regular review and monitoring. These projects will support digital transformation, operational efficiencies with strengthened governance as well as our staff through development and EDI over the next 2-3 years, as summarised below:

Given the financial uncertainty in the year, all non-essential spend was put on hold with £0.6m of designated expenditure paused. Acknowledging this and in support of future forecast spend, the Trustees agreed to transfer £450k of unrestricted funds to designated funds providing the identified total of £1.3m.
