The Council Members, who are also Non-Executive Directors of the Charlty for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit thelr annual report together with the audited financial statements of The Hartlepool Hospice Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2021. The Council Members confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity and the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association adopted on 31 October 1980 and last amended on 26 September 2013.

The Council is responsible for the overall governance of the Charity. Council Members are either elected or coopted and there must be a minimum of three Council Members, there is no maximum number of Council Members. The board will be made up of not less than 2 lay Council Members (meaning not appointed to act as a professional advisor) and such number of professional Council Members as the Council Members consider appropriate. Each Council Member shall retire from office at the fourth annual general meeting following the date of his appointment. Any professional director who so retires is eligible for re-election by the members or the directors as appropriate.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Robin Armstrong who has been a long standing board member but has now retired, we wish him well in his retirement.

The Hartlepool Hospice Limited is trading as Alice House Hospice. The Council aim to maintain a balanced skills and experience base by identifying skills shortages when an opening exists for a new member.

Effective partnership and clarity of differentiation between governance and management roles continues to contribute significantly to our success. Apart from the AGM, Council meetings were bi monthly. At Council meetings the Council Members review performance against agreed strategy and financial performance against agreed budgets. New Council Members receive an induction pack containing everything they need to know about the Charity and its work for effective and Informed decision making. The Council Members take full ownership of the Charlty’s philosophy, five year rolling strategy and annual income and expenditure budgets.

The Council delegates the exercise of certain powers in connection with the financial control of the Charity as set out below. This is controlled by requiring regular reporting back to the Council, so that all decisions made under delegated powers can be ratified by the full Council In due course. In setting the pay and remuneration of staff (including the senior management team) the Council Members have regard to local pay conditions for similar roles in similar organisations in the North East region.

Chief Executive

The Chief Executive is responsible for the day to day management of the Charity’s affairs and for implementing the strategy as agreed by the Council within the boundaries of the budget and various policies and procedures agreed by the Council. The Chief Executive is assisted by the Council Members.

Corporate governance

Processes are in place to ensure that performance throughout the organisation is measured and monitored and all employees are subject to performance management and achievement of competencies. Where employees do not perform to expected standards support is provided through individual action plans.

Corporate governance is assured through a myriad of meetings and reporting mechanisms and evaluated against the Charity’s strategy. Internal audits reflect the Charity's five areas of organisational excellence and are reported on a bi monthly basis to Council Members through the Chief Executive and Directors’ reports.

Finance sub group The Finance Sub Group comprises Council Members who are independent of the management and free of any relationship that in the opinion of the Council would interfere with the exercise of independent Judgement as members of the Group. The Group has six bi monthly meetings per year. It is responsible for the setting of annual Income and expenditure budgets and the monitorlng of such, including quarterly year and forecasts. The Group ensures proper procedures are In place to manage cash resources prudently, and to maximise income from liquid resources whilst maintaining sufficient funds to meet dally cash requirements. The Group also advises the Council on the appropriate level of free reserves and of any significant change needed in Investment strategy. .

Risk management

Ths Council have a formal risk management process to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies. This involves identifying the types of risks the Charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and identifying means of mitigating the risks. As part of this process the Council Members review the adequacy of the Charity’s current internal controls and the costs of operating particular controls relative to the benefits obtained. Procedures have been established for reporting failings immediately to appropriate levels of management.

The significant risks to which the Charity is vulnerable, and methods in which they are controlled, are: Loss of income Regular monitoring of financial performance and setting and reviewing budgets Disaster Health and Safety officer review; regular risk management meetings (fire/loss of power etc) Staff crisis Use of bank staff — relocate patients to other providers

Objectives and activities Objects, oblectives and principal activities of the Charity

: i i 1 i |

During this period a new refreshed organisational strategy was developed and disseminated, however due to Covid, some elements will need a review to align with the Impact of Covid on our services, thls will be performed once we are over the pandemic and understand the full impact. Hospice UK forecast that during this pandemic around 30% of Hospices could close due to lack of funding, nevertheless the Government interventions have helped sustain our finances.

It has been difficult to set a new budget but we have managed to create a surplus and Council Members are confident that the Charity will achieve this budget. We have new income streams coming on board which once the Covid restrictions are lifted will generate income from entirely new sources and more importantly will provide us with a younger generation of supporters.

The Charity’s primary objective is to provide care for individuals who are suffering from any illness, disability, disease or other infirmity whether physical or mental.

a Our Vision Every person, to the last moment of their life has the right to dignity, respect, support and care. ToOurprovide Missionservices that add value to life and make a difference to patlents and their families.

To achieve the Mission, the Charity has diversified its activities whilst still remaining true to the primary purposes of the Charity. Service delivery has evolved into a more structured response to the specialist needs of palliative patients with a range of clinical needs and this structured approach also encompasses the wider health economy needs.

Our Values . We value each person as an individual . The patient is at the heart of all of our activities . We believe in the importance of celebrating life and relationships . We will demonstrate integrity and professionalism at all times * We will be modem and progressive and seek out new opportunities to develop our services . We will strive to be the best we can and encourage staff and volunteers to actively seek opportunitles for personal growth and development . We will exercise responsible financial management to ensure long term sustainability. Strategies for achieving objectives Our new strategy sets 3 strategic goals: . We will ensure all of our services are of a high quality and are delivered safely with compassion and dignity. . We will ensure aur organisation is governed and managed in accordance with best practice. ° We will seek out opportunities to support our communities in all of their interactions with us. The strategy provides a Patient's, Trustee's and Staff Charter which confirms our intentions and provides a commitment to collective responsibility and organisational cohesion.

Activitles for achieving objectives

Prior to Covid the Hospice was functioning well and had a full year of fundraising activities planned which we were confident should have hit the Identified budget. Additionally, after some difficult times, the Community Services had Increased significantly through improved integrated working with Primary Care partners and was achieving budget. The Holistic Centre activities were starting to increase and this was a new service which needed time to build up. Our retail sector performed very well and beats its target year on year. The Hospice continually scrutinises the organisation for areas of cost savings and waste reduction alongside areas for ‘income generation. We will be focusing on reducing utility bills through the exploration of green energy this year but it will take time to understand our carbon footprint and options for renewable energy. The Council consider that they have complied with their duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when setting objects, strategy and Achievementsobjectives. and performance

We continue to run a highly professional organisation with a stable financial position which reflects ethical fundraising and cash holding policies decided by our Council Members.

The credit rating during the reporting period has remained at level A.

Strategle objectives We will manage our Charity as effectively, efficiently and responsibly as possible. The Board have had regular updates and our risk register has been updated regularly to enable effective , management of issues arising.

We will ensure all of our services are of a high quality and are delivered safely with compassion and dignity. We have held regular engagement meetings with our CQC officer through zoom and have contacted them for advice when necessary.

There has been one formal complaint made in the previous 12 months which has been resolved without issue.

We will ensure our organisation is govemed and managed in accordance with best practice.

The Board recelve updates from all of our Senlor Management Team for each meeting to ensure transparency and service developments are always approved by the Board.

All of the Board have fulfilled their mandatory training requirements.

We will seek out opportunities to support our communities in all of their interactions with us.

Collaboration has been high on our agenda and we have worked in partnership with the local authority to provide mental health support through our ‘place for space’ programme in the Holistic centre. We have continued to work with the CCG on educating care homes, and the community housing group has cemented many relationships.

Mental health recovery following Covid will be a substantial focus for us over the next year.

Financlal review

Reserves policy

Free reserves available for use by the Charity are deemed to be those that are readily realisable, less funds whose uses are restricted or else designated for particular purposes.

As a matter of policy the Charity aims to build up and hold a maximum of two months running costs as reserves. This objective is secondary to the achievement of the Charity’s strategic objectives as stated in the current strategy, so that reserves will not be built or maintained at the expense of planned or current patient care.

Two months running costs would be approximately £570k. With free reserves (after removing long term liabilities) of £697k the Charity is ahead of target. The Charity expects to utilise the extra reserves over the next year to support the Charity as it recovers income streams post Covid.

Aspirational objectives for reserves: the Charity aims to become financially independent of Primary Care Trust contracts as a security measure against diminishing contract values and the uncertainty of the level of tariff funding arising from the Palliative Care Funding Review. Nevertheless it will still seek appropriate contracts to advance patient services. The achievement of this will be through the new VR studio and other business opportunities as the care agency has closed down.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Council Members’ responsibilities statement, the Council Members (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 satlisfled that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Councll Members 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 financlal statements, the Councll Members are responsible for assessing the 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 Council Members either intend to Jiquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITORS’ 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 Auditors’ 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 Ilne with our responsibilities, outllIned 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:

• In identifying and assessing risks of materlal misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team: . Obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regularity framework that the charitable company operates in and how they are complying with the legal and regularity framework

• . Inquired of management and those charged with governance about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities including any known, actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud,

• ° Discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements might be susceptible to fraud.

As a result of these procedures we considered the most significant laws and regulations which have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company's goveming document. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliance which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the council members report and remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents.

,

:; . ; ' ;

| i

The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls and Income recognition as the areas where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may Involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Alice House Wells Avenue Hartlepool TS24 SDA

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.3 Going concern

Despite a challenging year due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Charity has made a surplus of £292,031.

Despite this uncertalnties as identifled by the Council Members remaln. Costs continue to increase and these are not covered by the income from charitable activities. The Charlty Is rellant upon the continued support of the public In the form of donations and legacies.

Council Members are always looking for new fundralsing opportunities and have invested in a virtual reality project which it is hoped will raise money and introduce potential new supporters to the Charity. The profect has made an encouraging start in the new year and other fundraising events and shop income have recovered significantly in the 2021/22 year after postponements, cancellations and closures brought about by the pandemic. The Council Members have great confidence in the Charity's ability to hit budgets and stay viable. The financial statements therefore continue to be prepared on the going concem basis.

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

: For legacies, entitlement Is taken as the earlier of the date on which elther: the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the . executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution wlll be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Recelpt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of the executors intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

The Council Members acknowledge that they are assets of the Charity as soon as received but due to the fact that a very large number of smali value items are received the time and cost of valuing donated goods at receipt would outweigh any benefit to the users of the financial statements of having them so valued.

Where goods are donated under the Gift Aid scheme the Charity is not entitled to the income until the goods are sold and the donor has confirmed that they are gifting the proceeds. In this case the income is included as a donation rather than as a sale.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deads of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

2.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there Is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity.includingThesupportcostscostsof eachinvolvedactivityIn undertakingara made upeachof theactivity.total Directof directcostscostsattributableand sharedto a costs,single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Snared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Costs of generating voluntary income are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Fundraising costs are the direct costs of operating the charity shops and other trading activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include central costs. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

,

Tangible fixed assets costing £250 or more are capltallsed and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are Initlally recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tanglble fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impalrment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tanglble fixed asset into its intended working condition should be Inctuded in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - 20/50 years straight line Plant and machinery - 7 years straight line Motor vehicles - 7 years straight line Fixtures and fittings - 7 years straight line Computer equipment - 3/5 years straight line Other fixed assets - 3 years straight line

2.10 Liabilities

Liabilities and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, itis probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

2.11 Flnance leases and hire purchase

|

Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Charity. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of financial activitles so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

2.12 Pensions

The Charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

Defined benefit schemes

The Charity makes contributions to the Natlonal Health Service Pension Scheme and The Penslon Scheme Trust.

The Charity is however unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities in the schemes and has accounted for contributions as if they were defined contributions schemes as follows:

The amount charged to the statement of financial activities in respect of pension costs is the contributions payable In the year.. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually. paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet. Amounts included in expenses are allocated between activities on the basis of staff time in line with other support costs.

The Charity has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement and 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 detalled In these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised asa finance cost.

eee 25. PENSION COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Pensions Trust The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 950 non-assoclated participating employers. The scheme Is a deflned 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 Penslons 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.

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 From 1 April 2019 to 31 January 2025:

' £11,243,000 per annum (payable monthly and increasing by 3% each on 1st April)

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

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