The charity serves a population of c190k INing in Hastings and Rother. All the activities
undertaken by the charity are to further its charitable purposes for the benefit of the people
living within its catchment area and all servios are provKled free of charge.
Much of the charity's funding comes from local individuals and organisations and most of
its beneficiartes are predominantty. but not exclusively. drawn from Hastings and Rother.
Services are also available for those who have not been resident locally but need support,
e.g. someone who has moved into the a￿a to be ck)ser to their family.

For the year ended 31 March 2023
1.5. How achievement of aims will further the charity's legal purposes
Providing Hospice care directly fuffils the charty's legal aim of promoting the relief of
sickness by supporting the physical, psychological. social and spiritual needs of those
affected by life-limiting illness. In addition, it provides holistic emotional and spiritual support
to make sense of and cope with supporting someone with a life-limiting illness.
Providing education and training to other health and social Ca￿ professionals is indirectly
fulfilling the charity'5 aim of promoting the relief of sickness. Encouraging people to engage
in fundraising activities is a way of enabling them to do something positive in someone's
memory as well as raising awareness and support for the charity. This therefore indirectly
fulfils the charty's aim of promoting relief of sickness.

For the year ended 31 March 2023
3. STRATEGIC REPORT
Introduction from the Chief Executive Officer
l am delighted to present the 2022123 Annual Report. It has been another complex and
challenging year and l am consistently grateful to our employees. volunteers and
supporters for enabling us to Continue to provmje high quality palliative and end of life care
and bereavement support for the people of Hastings and Rother.
2022123 was the first year of our new strategy based upon the principles of a public health
palliative care approach. This model recognises that dying. death and loss are social
phenomenon and that communities play an integral role in developing social networks of
care to support people experiencing dying, death and loss. The Hospice strategy strives to
create a partnership between the clinical services il provides and the communities it serves
by sharing its skills and knowledge rather than them only being accessed by those with a
clinical need. A cornerstone of this strategy is building networks of support for carers to
enable and sustain them in their caring roles.
Our in-patient unit remains a key part of our service offer and bed number5 are gradually
tuming to pre-pandemic levels with 188 admissions in the year. During the winter, we
supported the local NHS Trust by offering additional in-patEnt beds to help reduce
pressure in the Conquest Hospital.
In response to changing preferences about where and how patients want to access
support and due to nats'onal healthcare workforce shortages. we have changed how we
provide community support. The Hospice Outreach team offers initial assessments and
reviews, at home and in outpatient clinics. and is supported by the Telephone Support
Line which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our focus on quality improvements is a theme that runs through all our work as we strive
to provide personalised. holistic, high-quality care and support to patients and families in
an enabling environment that respects their wishes. We also want to share our
experiences with others and to this end were invited to give two oral presentations at the
Hospice UK Conference in 2022.. one about our work in relation to equality. diversty and
inclusion and the other about how we are integrating our retail business with our
compassionate communities strategy. We also presented three posters focusing on a pan
Sussex 24[7 hospice line. health care and wellbeing assistants. development, medicines
management.
We have worked hard to be a supportive partner to our NHS and social care colleagues
despite an ongoing difficu￿ financial landscape. We will continue to focus on financial
sustainability whilst increasing our capacity. where possible as we move forward into the
next year. We have much to be proud of as I hope you will app￿late when reading this
report.

We have an ambitious strategy. to become a centre of exCel￿n￿ for palliative care

supports each other in dying. death and loss. We believe that our community is rich in
assets and that with engagement, education and support from the Hospice these Can be
harnessed to impact better end of life care for all. Alongside being a provider of specialist
palliative care, we will adopt and embed a public health approach to palliative care as an
equally important aspect of our core business. This is an innovattve approach. founded on
the principles of partnership and collaboration wrth the people we serve and those closest
to them, our generalist palliative ¢are partners, with neighbourhoods, community
organisations and with civic institutions. To achieve our vision we will..
a) Provide high quality specialist pallialtve and end of life care..
b) Understand, educate and collaborate wrth health and social care partners:

c) Listen to, enable, energise and empower ¢ommunih"es;
d) Influence, support and advise civic institutions, su¢h as schools, WQTkplaces, local
councils and cultural or faith organisations.
We see St Michael's Hospi￿ as an InflUen￿r and that through investment in community
developmentwe have a unique Vehic￿ to shape both the dialogue and experience ofdying,
death and loss in our communities. The ethos of one united team extends to all a￿a5 of
the Hospi￿ and is key to our strategy,. working together as one team to achieve our vision
and mission. As we develop and support our compassionate community, our Hospi
shops will have an integral role to play in being the va￿. of the Hospice in local
neighbourhoods and providing facilities to enable people to receive our services closer to
where they live. Our Lottery Collectors are already playing a significant role in connecting
people with the Hospice and reducing social isolation across our catchment areas.
The following section highlights some of the key achievements in 2022123.
3.2. Increase clinical reach
In 2022123 more patients were supported than in the previous year. The total number of

St Michael's Hosplce Ha$tlngs and Rother
Report of the Trustees and strategic report (continued
For the yearended 31 March 2023
In addition to in-patient services. the Hospice Outreach team, consisting of Clinical Nurse
Specialists and doctors, see patients at home. and in outpatient clinics. for inttial
assessments and reviews. The rehabilitat￿n. social work, spiritual support and wellbeing
teams also visit people at home and in outpatient clinics. This is a post-pandemic service
development. The Hospice's Telephone Support Line. supported by nurses, paramedics
and healthcare assistants is available 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. There is also
aC￿sS to an on-call dodor rf required. The Community team. including Wellbeing,
supported over 1,800 patients, made over 1,600 home visits and over 25,000 telephone
calls to patients and their carers in this period.
Hospice Consultants continue to in-reach into the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
(ESHTI through the Conquest Hospitsl. Wellbeing and Bereavement seNices continue to
be provided from the Hub on Rye Hill lo enable patients in the east of the Hospice's
catchment area to a¢¢ess support closer to home.
The demand for bereavement support conts.nues to grow and Ihis year we introduced new
groups to support people who felt they did not belong to the regular groups the Hospice
offered. In response to this and the findings from the Hospice's Equality. Diversity and
Inclusion Audit in February 2021, the Bereavement Team established a Queer Grief
Group as part of its RISE {Resilienrk with Inspirational Support & Empathy) service. It
aimed to offer a safe space for queer people to process their grief and therefore provide
greater access to bereavement support for those who may feel disenfranchised.
In January 2023, the Board approved the Compassionate Communities strategy which
aims to listen to, enable, energise and empower Communit￿S. For people who are living
with advanced illness, those who are caring for them and those who are bereaved,
loneliness and isolation is a tangible Prob￿rn. As lack of mobilty. the burden of care and
associated poor mental health increases. connection to established ne￿orkS decreases.
Dying. death and loss are themselves marginalising eXperIen￿S and so the
Compassionate Communities strategy strives to include the 'strangers at the edge, of the
community. Through its delivery, the Hospice aims to include people notjust marginalised
by their health condition, Caring responsibilities andlor grief but also where this intersects
with race, sex, gender, class, sexuality. age. dtsability. religion or belief and civil partnership
or marital ststus.
The compassionate communty strategy has three interconnected workstreams:
cSinical services that support a compassionate Community agenda
Hospi¢e-led initiattves that aUgn￿nt or pump prime compassion within a community
working with the communty using an asset-based communty development (ABCO)
approach.
In 2022123, over a six-month period. an average of 64 people, per month. were supported
by a Community Volunteer and 83 peop￿ were supported by a Telephone Volunteer
Befriender. The Saturday Socials. occurring on the last Saturday of the month. were set up
to tackle loneliness and isolation and each month an average of 43 people attend. 17 of
those have reported feeling less socially isolated after attending.

3.3. Improve and demonstrate our effectiveness
Five Trustee visit5 took pla￿ in 2022123 with a ￿ViSed format where all ath'vities were
undertaken jointly rather than each Trustee having a different agenda for the day. The
fonnat is based on the Care Qualty Commission {CQC) Key Lines of Enquiry and topics to
explore to illustrate this are suggested. Feedback is given within two weeks of the visit, so
anything highlighted can be considered in a timety way. The positive feedback re￿iVed
was eVIden￿d in a Trustee survey, in January 2023 which demonstrated the value
Trustees obtain from the visits including meeting team members, seeing the teams at work
and also in relalion to providing context and information. The visits remain an important
part of governance assurance.
The CQC is undergoing a period of transition and restructure as it moves towards a new
model of inspection based on a Single Assessment Framewotk. A Direct Monitoring call
was held with CQC on 1s1 March 2023 with the Clinical Services DirectorlRegistered
Manager and the Associate Director- Quality. Key Lines of Enquiry were discussed, and
the outcome was that there was no indication an inspection was required.
Regrettably, there are tirnes when the Hospi￿.$ services do not meet the expectations of
its service users and in 2022123 there were ten complaints. A thorough investigation is
undertaken into all Complaints and a written response provided to the complainant within
20 days. Lessons learntand recommendations from the investigations inform the Hospice's
education, audit and qualty improvement priorities. Feedback is shared with team
members to increase understanding of the impact of a poor experience on patients and
families and leaming is shared more widely across relevant teams. In the past year teams
have worked to..
enhance the focus on providing person centred-care
make sure carer experience is heard and valued
improve infomation and communication about Se￿iceS so patients and families
know what is available
provide clarity on who is providing Ireatment and interventions where care is
shared across different organisations.
DKJital transformation remains a key priority to enable the Hospice to provide better care
and to empower patients. families and carers by increasing access to services, opening
new channels of communication and providing people with more ways to aC￿sS the care
and infomation they need. Phase one of the implementation of a new electronic patient
record system (EPRS) Systmone. a joint initiative with St Witfrid's Hospice (Eastboume)
was successfulty implemented in September 2022. A joint Clinical Lead post was
introdU￿d and continued until the end of June 2023 to support phase two of the project.
Data sharing with ESHT has been enabled and work is ongoing regarding the best way to
roll this out to GPS.
A new Hospi￿ website went live in February 2022 and provides a better user joumey, with
engaging articles as well as an easy access fomiat that leads users to the infomation they
need about Hospice seN1￿$ and how they can support the organisation.
Work to improve effectiveness and to support and develop the workforce has continued
through the collaboration that exists across the seven adult Sussex hospices. Following
PaKe 11

St Michael's Hospice Hastings and Rother
Report of the Trustees and strategi¢ report Icontinued)
For the year ended 31 March 2023
the withdrawal of the current learning management system (LMS), Relias, from the UK
market. a new LMS needed to be procured. A project team. across five hospices, worked
at pace to have this system successfully go live at the beginning of 2023124.
The collaborative's leadership and management development programme "THRIVE. has
re￿iVed very positive feedback from the th￿ cohorts of managers (49 in total) who
completed the programme in 2022123. Two further cohorts will be delivered in 2023124.
3.4. Develop and value our people
There has been significant change to the structure of the Extended Leadership Team
{ELT), with two Directors (Medical Director and Finance and IT Director} working jointly with
St Wilfrid's Hospi￿ (Eastbournel and plans to share the Clinical Services Director role from
October 2023. In addition to this. three Associate Directors have been introduced to cover
clinical services. quality, dats. education and research. A Head of Business Support was
recrurted to improve systems and processes and organisational effectiveness.
The first Hospice Annual Celebrats'on event was held in Summer 2022, where employees
and volunteers were able to spend some social time together over some food whilst being
entertained with live music. Long service and Team awards were presented by the Trustees
and Leadership Team. The feedback from this evenl was overwhelmingly positive and so
it will become an annual event.
Year of the Organisational Development Strategy has delivered some key areas of
further improvement some of which are highlighted below.
The Hospice continues to be committed to offering career development opportunities and
was de1￿hted when a Trainee Nurse Associate transferred from elsewhere in her second
year of training following an enjoyable placement with the Hospice. A Health Care Assistant
will Commence their Nurse Associate training in September 2023. Despite national nursing
shortages, newly qualified nurses and those from other specialities have been successfully
recruited and supported through their induction peiiod. and beyond via a preceptorship
programme. In response to a lack of specialist nurses in the locality. the Hospice created
a new Associate Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) role to grow and develop skills in this area.
Two Associate CNS are completing their development programmes and will become CNS
in 2023124.
Following the successful implementation of the Nursing Competency Framework in
2021122, a competency framework for Wellbeing Assistants has been launched and level
three of the Registered Nurse skills framework will be launched in 2023124. In line wilh the
Service Level Agreement with ESHT, all H05pice doctors underwent a formal appraisal. No
doctors were due for revalidation and no complaints or ¢oncems relating to doctors were
raised.
To support and develop all areas of equalty. diversity and inclusion (EDI) a new equality,
diversity and inclusion statement has been approved along with a prO￿sS to evaluate the
impact any policy, service development orchange will have on EDI across the or9ani5ation.
The EDI strategy has made progress in raising awareness across a range of topics through
Conscious Inclusion workshops and embarking on the Hospi￿ UK'S Compassionate
Page 12

Report of the Trustees and strategic report {continued>
For the year ended 31 March 2023
Employers programme where the Hospice achieved the Silver award in November 2022.
The aim is to achieve Gold by October 2023.
The volunteer workforce dirninished somewhat duTing Covid and the Hospice has been
working on ways to grow this part of the workforce again. There has been a significant
increase in the number of Bereavement volunleers recruited this year and a new role of
Community Volunteer to support the Compassionate Communities strategy has also
proved popular. Volunteer training is being developed as part of the Sussex Hospices
Learning Hub collaboration to ensure the right balance of training and skills relevant to the
role is available and applied consistentty.
3.5. Ensure our long4erm sustainability
Expenditure was closely monitored and was wDthin tolerance levels throughout the year.
However, the pandemic and the cost of INing crisis continued to have a significant impact
on the Hospice's ability to raise funds.
The Hospice appointed a joint Finance and IT Director with St Wilfrid's Hospice
(Eastboume) to enable sharing of skills, knowledge and good practi￿, build relationships
with the commissioners and explore fvrther opportunities to share resources and systems.
In 2022123, this has facilitated a joint approach to the implementation of a new EPRS see
section 3.3 and in 2023124 there will be shared finance system.
a) Lottery
The Lottery continues to grow, recouping the losses experienced during 2021122. The
canvassers and ¢olle¢tors were fully back at work. supported by promotion at events
and utilising the new microstte. The Lottery generated £888k which resulted in a
covenant of £518k to the Hospice.
For every £1 played in the lottery. 59p goes to the Hospi￿ (the legal requirement is to
pay at least 20p), 17p goes into the prize fund and 17p covers the adminislration,
promotion, and legal regulation expenditure.
b) Retail and E-commerce
All seven shops were trading throughout the year and the recruitment of a Relief Shop
Manager has supported shops to open on a consistent basis. Across the company
there is a need for greater number of volunteers to improve both high street and e-
commerce sales.
The Retail Company generated £648k in income. over £100k in excess of the previous
year. Additional costs in the year meantthat a covenantwas not payable to the Hospice
but Performan￿ for the first quarter 2023124 has exceeded expectations.

The charity's investment objective for short-term reserves is to preserve the capital value
with a minimum level of risk ensuring that the Hospice is able to meet unanticipated cash
flow requirements. Funds treated as short-term would usualty be invested only in a mix of
short and medium-term deposits.
The investment objective for long-temi reser4es ts to secure a retum in excess of infflation,
generating an income to support the Hospice's on-going activities. The Hospice has
adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict wrth its
aims, and therefore precludes direct or indirect investments in companEs that generate
revenue from tobacco or arms and those companies whose principal activity is either
gambling or pornography.

Governance. Audit and Risk, People and Clinical Governance Committees, on a bi-monthly
or quarterly basis. identifying potentialty s￿nIficant risks. assessing their likelihood and
impact and agreeing mitigating action. Corporate risks are subsequently reported to the
Board at each meeting.
The key risks faced by the charity in 2022123 as Klentified in risk registers were:
Nursing workforce shortages: the national shortage of specialist palliative care nurses
Combined with Brexit and the impact of the pandemic on healthcare workers continued to
adversety affect the Hospi￿. and in particular Ihe community nursing service. Pay for all
linical employees is reviewed annually and benchmarked against equivalent roles in the
NHS. The employee assistance programme supports peop￿ to get more timely clinical
interventions and expediting their retum to work. Career development pathways continue
to be considered and created so that the Hospice is able to develop its own nurses for the
future. The Hospice continues to work closely with NHS co51eagues lo tackle nurse
recruitment at system level.

reputation is of vital importance. Change5 to Servi￿ delivery, as a result of workforce

complaints and reputational damage. Some rebranding of services has taken place to
ensure that the public are clear about the Hospice offer and comments and complaints are

expenditure and its supporters. abilty to donate, the Hospice may be unable to generate
sufficient income to ensure the Hospice and subsidiary companies can operate effectively.
A prudent budget has been set for 2023r24, opportunities to Collaborate and share costs

Risks associated with business continuty, e.g. a major incident, a serious failu￿ in utilities
and IT failure due to cyber-attack. virus. breakdown or hacking.. Policies and prO￿dureS
are subject to ongoing review and updating to ensure cornplian￿ with best practi￿ and

activities.

supporters with the h￿hest level of Care, consideration and respect. The Hospice
undertakes fundraising activty via support from volunteer fundraising in the community,
applying to and partnering with companies and grant-giving trusts. direct mailings and

Responsibilities of truslees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees. Responsibilities on page 15, the
trustees (who are also the d1￿ctOrS of the parent charttable 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 inlemal control as the trustees
detemiine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial ststements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group
and the parent charrtable company's abilrty to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable. matters related to going cOn￿M 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 allemative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in
accordance with regulations made under that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent
financial stalements 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 orerror 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 wrth our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregulartlies, including fraud The specific procedures for this
engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detectsng irregularities, including
fraud are detailed below.
Identifying arKI assessing nsks related to irregularities..
We assessed the susceptibilty of the group and parent charitable company's financial
slatements to material misstaternent and how fraud might occur, including through
discussionswith the trustees, discussions within ouraudit team planning meeting, updating
our record of internal ￿ntrOl$ and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We
evaluated possible incentives and opportunrties for fraUdu￿nt manipulation ofthe financial
statements. We identifEd laws and regulations that are of SUnifican￿ in the context of the
group and parent charitable company by discussions with trustees and updating our
understanding of the sector in which the group and parent charitable company operate.
Laws and regulations of direct signific2nce in the context of the group and parent charttable
company include The Companies Act 2006 and guidan￿ issued by the Charity
Commission for England and Wales.

Further the group is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequen￿$ of non-
compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial
statements, through 5ignifi¢ant fine, litigation or restrictions on the group's operations. We
identified the most significant laws and regulations to be those issued by the Care Quality
Commission covering health care services and those issued by the Gambling Commission
covering the requirements for running a lottery.
Audit response to risks identified".
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our
audit prO￿dureS on the related financial statement item5 including a review of financial
statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent charitable company'5 records of breaches
of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities
to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charitable
company's policies and Pro￿dureS for Compliance with laws and regulalions with members
of management responsible for compliance.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention
to the key areas which might involve non-complian￿ with laws and regulations or fraud.
We enquired ofmanagernentwhethertheywere aware ofany instances of non-compliance
with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual. suspected or alleged fraud. We
addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the
appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transacts'ons that were
unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whetherjudgements made
in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At
the completion stage of the audrt. the engagement partner's review included ensuring that
the team had approached theirwork with appropriate professional s¢epticism and thus the
capacty to identify non-complian￿ with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the ftjrther
removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the
risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is hKJher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may invofve deliberate concealment by. for
example. forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
