Extemal Context
Population
The majority of the area served by St WlfrKI's is thin the boundaries ot NHS Sussex, the Irtsgraled Care
Board IICBI for both E8St and West Sussex. A very small prow)rtion of Sl Wiffrid's patients, service users,
employees, volunteets. and supporters INe in and around ErnS￿th, a ward of Havant Borough Council. just
over the border into Hampshire.
Sl Wlfrtd's provides in-palienl arKI communty services to mos( but nol 811. people in the areas served by
Chichester District Council ICDCI and around haK (the western halfj of the people living in the area coveied
by Arun District Council IADC}. Communty services in the Midhufst area are provided by Ma¢Millan.
Given the Telatively small scale of the Hampshire influence on St Wiltrid's extemal context. and the lack of
ward level data available from Hampshire County Counol. the data and commentary below will focus on the
populations of ADC and CDC. The 2021 census recorded ADC'S population as 164.800, and CDC'S as
124,100, giving a total of 288,900. This has in¢￿aSe<l from 263,300 in 2011.
The dats sel QLrt befow is exlracted West Sussex County Council's Joint Strategic Needs Anatysis
publication 'Census 2021_' Ethnioty, language and ￿lIgIOn- Public Heatth Briefing August 2023,. by
Cathertne Wells of the Public Hearth a￿1 Social Research Unrt.
The demogr8phi¢ data Sl Wiffn"d's holds about rts employees. volunteers. pab.ents l $ervi¢e users, and
supporters is not complete. Although age infom)ation about employees and voltjnteers Is available and
accurate. not all other categories of data about thosè groups have been collected consistently about the
current workforce. Volunteer data is more complete than em￿oyee dats. but not enb.rely so. Demographic
data collection about patients and service usets is tetter, bLrt not consislenlly complete. Ethnicity data was
¢tsllecled from only 91.6% of patients during 2024r25, for example. and data on relig*)n from onty 65.2% of
patients.
These gaps in the dats held make comparison ¥￿th Ihe wder population unreliable. Impming the qualty of
demographic dala contsnues lo be a key wDrkstream for the Equalrty, Diversity & Inclusion IED&II Worknng
Group, and the position is definitety improvirwj.
Population - Ag9
By comparison wlh the national modal average. Thh)re wple libryng in the ADC a￿a are 65 years or over
128.4% Compared 18.3%}, and the median average age is 49.6 years. In 2021 there were 505.5 people
aged 65 or over for every 1000 people of working age.
The picture in the CDC area is very similar. 27.1% of the people INing in the area are over 65 years of age.
and the median average age is 49. The national median average age is 40.7 yeats.
These factors play 8 part nol onty in increa￿ng leve15 of demand for Palliative and End of Life Care IPEOLCI
services, but in sustaining the long-temi St Wilfrid's supply of employees, volunteers, and supporters.
Populatlon - Dgprlvatlon
There are very areas of material deprivation in U)e CDC area. but some notable Challenges in parts of
the ADC area, particularty around Bognor.

In both ADC and CDC only 2% of the population rep￿ts praciising a religion other than Christianity.
These data refflect Sl Wlfrid's experience of working vthh patients and their loved ones, both as inpalienls
and in the community. Over the last ten years. approximalety three Jewish, four Muslim and several
Buddhist families have been directty supported by Ihe ¢hapl¥inGy team. as wpll as several patients who
identify as Pagan.
11 is often the case that pah"ents, service users, andlor their families who describe themselves as'not
praclising. are happy for St Wlfrid's Chaplain to minister to them appropnalely. On those occasions, the
Chaplains are ¢areful in their choice of language. to honour the beliefs held by the individuals in question.
Some patients have sought to re*ngage wrth religious practices, such as requeslirsg Holy Communion, after
eonvetsalion wlh the Chaplain. while others value a less f(rnl approach lo their spirituality.
In such circumstances, as they do with pakn.enls vkno indicate Ihat they have no ￿lIgIOn. the Chaplain$ offer

For praclising patients and service users. the patient or their family wll usually have their own leaderwith

For those who are not praciising but vtant to see a leader from their own faith tradition. the Chaplaincy Team
has contacts for Muslim. Buddhist, Hindu and Jewsh leaders.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Clinical services
Perfomiance. quality and govornancg
St Wfilfrid's clinical services continue to operate within changing heahh and soci81 Care structure5, and an
increasing emphasis on integration.
Many aspects of this challenging environment have a wide•ranging impact on St Wlfrid's dinic81 seNices, in
particular..
the increasing and changing need5 and demographics of the people for wthom St Wilfrid's cares.
Specificalty, a projected increase Èn the number of people need palliative and end of life Ca￿ in the
future
existing unmet need for palliatNe and end of lrfe care, exacerbated by inequality, inequty. and social
exclusion
funding shorttalls and increasing costs
These drivers p￿sent both opportunrties and challenges. It is WKlety acknovAedged that h05pi¢es are
operating in a period of continuous eharwè. unprecedented uncertainty and complexrty.
St Wlfrid's has focussed this year on *vrking ¢losety v*ith other adult hoswces across SLtssex, to form the
Sussex Hospice Alliance. This allows its members to share leaming and work ct05ety together to Improve the
quality of Ca￿ provided to people across the county at the end of their lrfe. whilst maintaining each
organisab'on's independence and individual identity. The Alliarte also helps to demonstrate the positive
impa¢t hospice care has on the lives of the people of Sussex
It is Crucial that Sl Wilfrid's remains agile, adapb.ve an¢J responsive, and continues lo pursues Its long-lem
vision, which places the people of the communities rt seNes al the heart of all activities and plans.
During 2024r25, St wttrid's continued to ensu￿ that clinical V•Drkloads v￿e managed more'smartly.. and
the teams have focussed on improving the consistency of recording patients, preferTed place of death, and.
importantly, 8n8lysing achievement of this outcome. The figures in the table below demonslrale an increase

hilst the average age of those relerred to St Wilfrid's is 7&77. 16% of referrals relate lo patients who are
under 65 years old. It is recognised that younger patients tend to have complex needs whi¢h are recognised
eadier, and there are often young children involveij as well as the pab"ent's parents. As a result. this group of
patients lends to utilise mofe of St WKrid's seThices, and sometimes for a longer per￿d. However, St

As a whole, the volunteer workforce donated around 58.000 hours over 2024125, on average 1,120 hours
per week, supporting all teams. The hours donated by rth"I volunteers equated to 47% of the overall hours

In February 2025 St WINn"d's Volunteers were cekbrated by the presentation of the Chichester Cty Council

The Trustees express their heartfett thanks to all volunteers vtho supported St Wilfrid's during
2024125. Volunteers continue to generously offeT tIEir experbse. sknlls and b.me to support St wI￿rid,s
through a variety of volunteer opportunities.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees remain fctussed on the delNery of all strategic objectives, but reduction of reliance on
reserves to fund operational actNty is a notable priority. Several neighbouring charity hospices have
implemented cuts to service provision during 2024r25. and the [￿speCt of having to make similar reductions
remains an influenc1ng factor for 2025126.
The strong reserves position at the Ènd of 2024r25 enabled the Board to approve a deficit budget for
2025126 to fund material growih in St Wlfrid's ￿tall business. Three new shops, including a mega-store, are
planned for the next two years, 5UPPOrted by investment in the ￿ts11 infrastructure lo increase ils effiuency.
These investments are planned to deliver retail in¢ome increases from 2026r2027.
The Trustees also plan to pursue increased NHS income, from the current level of around 17% A￿hoUgh
NHS funding nab"onally is undergoing radical ralionalisation, pa￿e1patIOn in Ihe Sussex Hospice Alliance is
supporting slrenglhened negotiating p(Mer wilh the local Inlegraled Care Board, leading to improved access
lo existing NHS funds, dedicated lo supporting palliative and end of lrfe care patients cutrenlly in other
settings. Through the Alliance, St Wilfn'd's is able to demonstrate more effeclwely its potential for
contribution lo the govefnmenfs natKJnal heamh Care agenda and strategic objectives, and as a
consequence. is able lo claim additional income. Continuation and expansion of this approach is planned for
2025126 and beyond.
Options for expansion of St Witlrid's services rnto other clinical pathway5 are also in development for fvture
implementation. Two n￿-¢ancer specialist nurse posts have been made pemianenl for 2025126 after a two-
year pilot. Again, demonstration of St Wilfrid's capacty and capabilrty to support delivery of local and
national NHS objective5 is expected to attract opportunities for increased stale fiJndir¢g for revenue costs.
None of these adctilional income streams are guaranteed, ho*tver. and during the first quarters of
2025126 the Trustees will consider conts"ngency plans for implementation in the event that il becomes clear
that slate revenue funding WTII not increase.
The Trustees will also draw up plans during 2025126 for experKlilure of a signfficanl slate caprtal grant
announced at the end of 2024. Options for use of the sum {expected to be around £400,000), which must bg
spent during 2025126 are under consideration.
The Trustees ￿11 continue to monitor debate conceming the im￿en￿n￿t￿n of ￿an￿e<l Assisted Dying
legislation. The role that hospices like Sl WIKrid's could or shoukl play in delwery of Assisted Dying service8
13 currently unclear, bul engagemerrt in n8b.onal and Ioc81 discussions will be maintained to allow the

Unrestsicte(l General Funds
Sl Wilfrid's Reserves Policy provides for an 8￿ePtsbIe level of general ￿n￿stricted funds lo ensure the
charity's l¢ng-lerTn financFal viabilty. St Wilfrid's is largety reliant on voluntary i￿ome and these reserves are
held lo meet any shorttall bets¥een anticipaled in￿ffle and ￿dgeted expenditure, plus any unforeseen
expenditure, over a period of two yeafs.
Part of these reserves. the Operational Reserve. was increased from £870k to £950k in 2024r25. The
Operational Reserve is to meet short-tefm working caprtal reqU1￿Ments, in line wlh the Reserves Policy.
The level of free reserves. including OFwational Reserve. was £8.961m 3131 March 202512023.. £8.394ml.
During the year the Trustees reviewed the areas of risk relating to income and expenditure and calculated
new target level for free reserves as an Operatsonal Reserve of £950k. plus a finarrial sustainability reserve
of £5.245m, lotaling £6.195m.
The Trustees recognise that the level of reserves al the year-end is £2.77m above the target level reqUI￿d
by the Policy. The Trustees consider this is reasonable in the light of a deficit budget for 2025126, the current
budgetary foreea$ls for ftrture years, and the general economic OLrtlook. In reaching this wew, the Trustees
also note the Significant reliance of St Wlfrid's charitable benefiaaries on the palliatsve and end of life care
services providefj by the hospice. Reduction of this vital support would cause deth'ment to the community, at
odds wlh Sl Wilfn"d's values and ils charitable objects.
Restricted Funds
At 31 March 2025, the Charity held £35k of funds restrthd by donors for specific purposes. Further detail is
given in note 21a to the accounts.

32

## **ST WILFRID'S HOSPICE (SOUTH COAST) LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's and the group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the CQC Regulations and General Data Protection Regulations. 

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be with the completeness and accuracy of income (specifically Non-NHS grant income and legacy income) and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Finance Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, designing audit procedures over income streams noted above, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non­ compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non­ compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **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.
