The Trustees of St. Racco’s Hospice, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, submit their annual report and the audited accounts of the Company for the 15-month period ended 31 March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice SORP 2015 (Financial Reporting Standard 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ issued in October 2020 in preparing the annual report and accounts of the charity.
The accounting period has been lengthened by 3 months to 15 months to 31 March 2025. The reasons for the change in the accounting period are to coincide with the NHS yearend, our Hospice colleagues’ year-end and make comparisons easier. As such, the comparatives with the previous year are not entirely comparable. The change of year-end was approved by the Board of Trustees on 30 July 2024 and the AGM on 3 September 2024,

5T. ROCCO’S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543) Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 March 2025
GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL
The Board of Trustees are accountable for the strategic direction of the charity. The Board takes a collaborative approach to determining the strategic direction working in partnership with the Hospice leadership team and stakeholders.
The Board of Trustees and its structure has been designed to align reporting and accountability of operational and strategic objectives, and the Board meets quarterly. During the last 15-month period, quarterly meetings have been supplemented by “Board Away Days” to facilitate the in-depth strategic discussions and decision mak'ng required when updating our direction, This period, away days have been instrumental in framing the approach we have taken to our next strategic period. To ensure the Board have remained integral to this important process, a task and finish group was formed,
The CEO and members of the Senior Management Team (SMT) attend Board meetings as core members to report against strategic and operational performance; wider tearm members are co-opted as required. Each Board commences with a Patient Story to ensure the orimary objective of the hospice remains the focus.
To enable the Board to carry out its duties effectively and in full, the Board delegates powers and responsibilities to Sub-Committees. Each Sub-Committee is chaired by a Trustee and has terms of reference defining membership, responsibilities, and delegated authority. These are reviewed annually by the Sub-Committee and aporoved by the Board.
Currently there are four sub-committees with three that meet quarterly. They cover:
-
Quality and Safety including Clinical Health & Safety
-
- People including Human Resources, Training and Health & Safety * Finance including Income Generation, IT and Information Governance * Remuneration
The Chair of each Sub-Committee reports to the Board of Trustees on key areas of development, risk, success and challenges. Attendance at these meetings is shown on the following pages. Our Remuneration Committee consists of the Chairs of the Board of Trustees, the Finance Sub-Committee and the People Sub-Committee together with the Chief Executive Officer. The Chair of the Hospice has an open invitation to each of the Sub-Committees. Due to the financial challenges faced during this period and the volatility of the landscape, the Finance $uo-Committee took the decision to increase the frequency of meetings to monthly, As an outcome of this we have been able to further develop the depthof our financial analysis, forecasting and therefore planning.
We are supported in our work by a number of Vice Presidents (VFs} who work in partnership with the board, sharing their skills on areas of development. Our VPs are Mr Basil Mitchell, Mr Alan Farquharson, Mr Michael Coates, Mr Andrew Mellor, Mrs Jennifer Roulston-Parry, Mrs Mary Rudkin and Dr Catherine £ Walshe.

The Trustees (who are also the Directors of St. Rocco’s Hospice for the purposes of campany law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual! Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year (or period) that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and its subsidiaries, and of the incoming resources and application of resources. This includes the income and expenditure of the charitable company and its subsidiaries for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

-
c. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

dd. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible far keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and its subsidiaries. They also ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by the Financial Reporting Standard SORP 2015 (FRS 102).

5T. ROCCO'S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543) Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 March 2025
RISK MANAGEMENT
St. Rocco's has developed an approach to risk Management that embraces both clinical and non-clinical risks. The Board of Trustees hold overall responsibility for risk Management and are involved in the evaluation of the risk environment via a review of the corporate risks register presented as a highlight report by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at each Board meeting. The Board works in conjunction with its Sub-Committees; each risk is identifiable by the Sub-Committee responsible for oversight.
During this period, we have redrafted our Risk Management Policy. Based on the increased capabilities gained through our risk management software system Vantage, we now have greater insight; this higher level of analysis has been drawn upon to develop a risk appetite reflective of all parts of the organisation. To ensure consistent application of the policy, alt senior lescers have received in-person training on risk Management and the software.
Strategic risks continue to be defined in a Board Assurance Framework (BAF) and are reviewed annually, There are twelve strategic risks included on the BAF focusing on our strategic direction, business model, funding, clinical and support services, regulatory standards, workforce, community presence, and engagement. Qur assurance mechanisms around these risks are updated on a quarterly basis and reported to Board.
Due to the continued volatility of the environment around us, our principal risk areas remain unchanged. As a skills-based organisation, we are reliant on our ability to recruit, retain and develop our workforce. A core element of this relies on financial resilience to keep pace with thisrising market costs, driven by the national skills deficit. As we increasingy learn to operate in landscape and as the dernand for our services grows, we must find new ways of working including looking to digital solutions. Here our risk is twofold, manifesting in the challenges faced by cybersecurity threats, budget constraints and integration challenges but also the digital skills readiness of our people, Ensuring that our systems are well designed, fully implemented and embedded will be a critical part of our work and risk management mitigations as we go forward.

EMPLOYEES
Our workforce has again shown an exceptional amount of commitment, dedication and motivation throughout this period. Our total warkforce at year-end reduced slightly versus the prior year through restructures and new ways of working. We have continued to be able to recruit successfully in a highly competitive recruitment market. Recognising that our people are our most valuable asset, we are maintaining our focus on:
-
Developing our approach to workforce planning, including talent development and succession planning. This is essential to help us utilise our resources wisely to support the development of our staff but also to ensure our future sustainability. During the period we have committed to a number of workforce development roles, including Apprenticeship opportunities at L3, LS and L7 across a number of teams, utilising Apprenticeship Levy transfer from partner organisations in Warrington

Evaluating our current health and wellbeing offer. In support of this we have an employee-led wellbeing group who shape and support the delivery of our wellbeing programme which is further enhanced by our Mental Health First Aiders and staff-led wellbeing team who have worked collectively to develop a series of wellbeing events
-
Drawing clear synergies between work that we have undertaken in and around our clinical services for example, our patient safety and just culture work. We ensure that these principles are reflected in our People policies and procedures
The People Sub-Committee meetings have continued throughout the period providing appropriate governance to decisions around people issues. This Sub-Cormmittee has maintained oversight of workforce performance indicators including recruitment and retention, sickness and absence, and education and training. In addition, we continue to develop and improve our data reporting to increase our workforce insights.
REMUNERATION
Work continued during 2024/25 to benchmark our terms and conditions, including pay, to ensure that we can attract and retain our key talent. This work is overseen primarily by the Pecple and Finance Sub-Committees and outputs are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee as required.

STRATEGIC REPORT
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
This period has again proveda significant challenge. The impact of COVID-19 has remained present; however, despite this the clinical team at St. Racco’s have continued to work collaboratively with our local community, system partners and infection control tearns to move towards living with COVID-19 while maintaining a safe environment for our patients and these important to them.
IN-PATIENT UNIT
Through careful adherence to infection prevention and control measures and collaborative working with our local Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) team, we have been able to maintain open status throughout the course of discharge, the last 15-month period. Due to delays in availability of care packages to support discharge hame, and availability of 24-hour care home placements, we have continued to see a length of stay (LOS) above 14 days
To support system pressures and patient flow within the acute setting, we have developed from last year's test and learn winter pressures initiative and have successfully implemented a short-term early supported discharge within the winter months. This directly relieved pressures within the acute patient flow, along with recognising preferred glace of care/death for patient care,

During 2024-25, the Palliative Virtual Ward (PVW) medical model continued to develop and was incorporated into the joint virtual wards offer at Place, including the Frailty Virtual Ward and Acute Respiratory Virtual Ward. The PVW was the first in the région and allowed us to demonstrate that St. Rocco's is at the forefront in new ways of working and learning from the first year of the nurse-led pilot. We were able to share our learning and integrated approach to virtual wards at Place which supparted the development of the Frailty Virtual Ward.
During this reporting period, Healthwatch Warrington have supported us by conducting an independent evaluation of the Integrated Palliative Virtual Ward. This evaluation ended in April 2024 and was published and shared June 2024.
Bereavement support is offered as an outreach service through twice monthly bereavement support cafés in Warrington. The cafés run as drop-in sessions and are open to anybody wha is grieving. They offer people the option of connecting with others experiencing a similar bereavement for peer-to-peer support. The cafés are assisted with the help of 25 volunteers who provide an option of one-to-one listening support to anyone who attends,
The cafés rely on valunteers from a vast array of backgrounds and skills including counsellors, teachers, engineers, nurses, social workers, and many others who have benefited fram CAEC services in the past and want to give something back to St. Rocco's.
Over the last 12 months the cafés have supported over 370 people. The team received 124 feedback forms, and 100% of respondents said they benefitted from the café and 100% said they would recommend it to a friend.
This period, the Counselling and Emotional Care (CAEC) Team have introduced new initiatives, including Letters to Loved Ones. This project offers anyone the opportunity to write their thoughts, wishes or a special message on wildflower seeded paper and post it in the box. When the box is emptied in Spring, the messages are planted in a special flawerbed in the Hospice gardens where the seeds grow and flourish. Our community can come and visit the gardens at any time to see their flowers and take a mament to remember their loved ones.

Hospice at Home supports people who choose to be cared for in their home. A team of experienced nurses oversee and co-ordinate the service and they are supported by healthcare assistants who give practical nursing care and psychological support to patients and their families.
During this reporting period we continued to provide additional support to enable peoole to stay at home and assist our community providers to source timely packages of care.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The Hospice showed a deficit result, however more positive compared to budgeted figures for the period. We had a strong statutory income result driven mastly by the provision of the Palliative Virtual Ward and other non-recurrent statutory income streams during the period.
22
ST. ROCCO'S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543) Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 March 2025
Details for the period are shown in the Staternent of Financial Activities and Notes forming part of the financial statements. The Trustees are satisfied with the activity and results. The Company Statement of Financial Activities is set out beginning on page 40 of these accounts, The Trustees report a consolidated loss for the 15-month period of £564,749 (31 December 2023: £312,838) and consolidated accurnulated funds of £8,958,905 (31 December 2023: £9,523,654).
Our fundraising team completed a full-year schedule of activity including re-introducing some previously successful events. Our retail footprint consolidated in 2024, but trading days remained steady with improvements to our retail offering.
The financial markets continued to remain volatile during 2024-25 with the on-going Ukrainian war and challenging political landscape in the Middle East. However, our interest income was higher than budgeted by £44,864. Changes to our investment portfolio also took place during the period, as it was agreed to change from a shares portfolio to a bond portfolia to reduce risk and exposure. This resulted in a non-recurrent gain on the sale of investments of £95,093 in the reporting period.
Inflation and interest rates remained a focus of central banks and investors alike. The Investment Sub-Group, along with the Finance Sub-Committee reviewed our investment strategy, which has remained unchanged. This has been approved by the Board of Trustees,
All aspects of expenditure continue te be regularly reviewed, including carefully managing recruitment and overtime. This is evident from our non-pay costs for the period, as they were 7% lower than budget.
We are reassessing the overall impact on our financial position ona monthly basis, particularly monitoring and forecasting our cash and reserves positions using the latest information available. Our reserves are there to provide financial stability in difficult times such as these, and so far, we have managed to have sufficient cash and reserves to provide our services throughout the period. We have reviewed both Investment and Reserves Policies. These are detailed in the Investment Policy and Reserve Policy sections of this report.
We have also taken the decision to increase our Designated Funds to ensure that we can continue operating long-term,
The Trustees are grateful for the support given by our commissioners and recognise the excellent working relationship that exists between our arganisations.
The charity and group's activities, together with the factors likely to affect future development, performance and position are set out in this report. This includesa description of the financial position of the group and its cash investments and reserves oolicy. The group's forecasts and projections, taking account of likely changes in statutory income, donations, legacies, fundraising activities and other income, show that the group should be able to operate with the current levels of reserves it has. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence

for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and financial statements.
INCOME GENERATION
The work of the Hospice is partially funded through statutory contracts; however, the majority of its work is funded via income that is generated through various fundraising endeavours which include:
-
Regular Giving
-
® Legacies * Community and Events
-
Lottery (via St Rocco’s Promotions Ltd)
-
« Retail (via St Rocco’s Shops Ltd) * Grants & Sponsorships * Corporate Partnerships
The 2024/25 15-month reporting period was an opportunity to move forward with new digital enhancement to generate income by streamlining processes, and utilising data more strategically. Income growth at the beginning of the period remained a challenge across alll areas, but we did see growth accelerate especially in retail from Q2,
Recruitment of a Corporate Partnerships Manager has provided opportunities to develop and grow our existing corporate income stream and to reach and engaze new supporters.
Our commitment last yeer to revisit our community and lottery income streams has proved positive, with both areas performing above budget and welcoming an apprentice inta the team has further supported fundraising income.
The Trustees thank the dedication and tenacity of the team and extend gratitude to all of our supporters across a wide variety of communities for their continued support for the work of the Hospice.
The 2025/26 40" anniversary of St. Rocco's will provide the income generation teams with an opportunity to utilise the celebrations to provide awareness within the community, There will be a continued facus on Corporate Giving to not lose progress of the work made so far, with legacies anc retail continuing to be a feature of growth. This year will also see a re-brand of the lottery and a return of larger events.
FUNDRAISING —- HOSPICE
The fundraising income streams produced a downturn over the period, with community and lottery being the only positive growth areas for fundraising. Having no facus on our corporate partnerships pipeline proved detrimental for the first six months of the period. in addition, our larger scale events did not return the same revenue as previous years.
24
ST. ROCCO'S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543} Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 March 2025
Income from In Memory donations declined slightly compared to the last year. This was largely due to a temporary pause in the promotion of tribute pages on our previous platform, pending the transition to a new, bespoke tribute page service, MuchLoved. Since the implementation of this platform, we have seen a positive impact, with an encouraging increase in the number of tribute pages and higher levels of engagement from supporters honouring loved ones well after their page is set up.
We fave seen a notable increase in incame from community-led events, continuing the upward trend from 2023. This growth can be attributed to enhanced engagement strategies, broader outreach efforts, and stranger collaboration with schools, nurseries, and local community groups. It is particularly encouraging to see orgoing support from returning fundraisers who continue to organise events on our behalf year after year.
Our regular giving and annual fundraising campaigns, including Will Month, Sponsor a Nurse, and seasonal appeals, have performed steadily, This is a result of improved data analysis, a refresh of our offering and a deeper understanding of donor motivations, which is proving invaluable in shaping our future engagement and supporter relationship strategies.
Income from Gifts in Wills saw a modest decline this period, which is in line with wider sector trends. In response, the Hospice has invested in the UK-wide Hospice Legacy Campaign to strengthen this income stream. We have begun promoting the importance and long-term impact of leaving a gift in a will, with a national television campaign launched in early 2025 and to be repeated throughout the year.
Events and challenge events collectively raised £181,092, achieving 79.1% of the events’ annual income target. Total expenditure was £35,500, coming in £13,200 under budget.
The period began with the 11" Christmas Tree Collection in January, which raised £40,000 through collecting and recycling 2,700 trees, meeting 87% of its income target. April marked the return of the Colour Run after a hiatus since 2018, attracting 330 participants and raising £16,200, achieving 81% of its budgeted goal. The 2“! Hospice Hike followed in June, with 100 walkers raising £18,800, representing 53.7% of the budgeted income. Although there was a drop in participant numbers and income from the previous year, the event maintained healthy individual fundraising figures, averaging £129 per participant. The 15" Dragon Boat Race held in July was a standout success, with 16 tearns raising £29,400 and Surpassing its bucget target by achieving 105%. December marked the 10° anniversary of the Strictly event, which raised £53,160, equating to 70.9% of its budget. This was £20,000 less than in 2023, due to reduced corporate sponsorship and fewer corporate table bookings.
The challenge events calendar was expanded in 2024 to offer more variety and flexibility for supporters. These events generated £23,500 in income, with an additional £3,400 raised through corporate employee fundraising. We partnered with Run Through as the headline charity partner for the Warrington Running Festival in September, contributing £17,000 to the challenge events budget—a 7.5% increase from the 2023 event when we shared charity partner status.

St. Racco’s Hospice holds financial assets in an externally managed investment portfolio, on cash deposit and as operational cash.
The Hospice is currently experiencing annual net operating cash deficits, and the course of action to achieve an annual break-even level in accordance with our medium-term plan suggests such deficits will likely continue until then.

Such funds will be used to support future initiatives and fund the normal demands of the Hospice in order to ensure sustainability (see reserves below).
The Total Reserves of the charity are split between the Minimum Free Reserves as set by the Reserves Policy) and the excess cash reserves.

Sub-Group and the institution needs a rating of at least ‘A’. Staggered expiry dates for the investments are sought, bearing in mind the timescale of funding needs. Investments in institutions of a lesser rating, but still with a BBB rating, should not be greater than the amount covered by a Financial Services Compensation Scheme {FSCS} protected bank, currently £85,000,
UK Government Treasury Gilts are also allowed as an alternative to cash deposits, with 3 maximum of £1m over a period no longer than two years in maturity fram the date of purchase.
Management, monitoring and reporting
Quarterly reports on the Fund are sent to the Trustees by the Investment Manager, which will include a breakdown of quarterly and annual performance against the agreed benchmark. There should be a minimum of two meetings with the Investment Manager each year.
Investment Manager Selection and de-selection criteria
The Board of Trustees will decide on the selection or de-selection of the Investment Manager after taking appropriate advice.
RESERVES
At St. Racco’s Haspice, the Finance Sub-Committee has traditionally reviewed our Reserves Policy on an annua! basis to ensure we have a Reserves Policy that reflects the environment and effectively addresses the Hospice’s emerging risks end financial situation. The current Reserves Policy was reviewed again in 2025.
The current Reserves Policy takes into account the changes in the economic environment and our local health economy to better reflect the short-term Position and the expected incame from our commissioners. Likewise, our Investment Policy also reflects our expectation that our income would reduce substantially, and we would require more cash. Winding Up reserve: Absolute Minimum
As Trustees and directors, we are obligated to ensure that the Hospice has the ability ta continue to pay its obligations, It is proposed that the absolute minimum level of reseryes required should be equal to the funds required to close down the Hospice whilst being able to fulfil all our financial obligations, including staff notice and redundancy, lease obligations, and monies set asice to organise the closure should that decision be made. This has been estimated at £2.5m at year-end.
Working Capital
Over and above the costs to close, the Hospice requires wor King capital, The amount required will vary from time to time, and there is no absolute value, However, three months working capital should be sufficient in mast circumstances, i.e. £1m.
32
ST. ROCCO'S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543) Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 March 2025
Risk Capital
8efore we sald our shares portfolio, we mitigated against further capital risk like the risk of investment performance. This risk has mostly disappeared with our investments now mainly in Treasury Gilts.
In total, we required as of 31 March 2025, Free Reserves of £3.5m, with an Absolute Minimum of £2.5m.
As mentioned in the Investments Palicy section above, we also decided that our Investment Policy should be set with our operational cash requirements in mind ie. hald sufficient cash or cash equivalents for Working Capital. Risk Capital and Wind-Up Capital could be held in other forms; however, at this time it would be prudent to maintain our minimum reserves in cash or equivalents.
Funds are invested in order to produce reasonable income over time, whilst following the Investment Policy guidelines.
During the period, the charity’s total consolidated reserves decreased fram £9,523,654 to £8,958,906 of which £3,275,754 is held in tangible fixed assets. At 31 March 2025, the amount of restricted reserves was £809,753 and the amount of free reserves was £8,146,808.
Due to the better-than-expected results in the last few years, the Board has committed to recognise the need to invest staff and in adequate up-to-date systems in line with strategic goals. Any unrestricted General Funds surplus to the minimum reserves policy will be used for the continued provision of Hospice Services. These include, for example, the charitable net investment in the non-commissioned services of beds, strategic and transformation development, medical equipment renewals, improvement to patient areas and general refurbishment, training costs, digitisation of our systems and the development of shops.
Considering the unpredictability of legacy income, our “legacy equalisation reserve” which represents a fund made out of excess legacy income over our ‘ong-term £230,000 average, can be released in periods of less than average legacy income. This will smooth out the cycle of highly unpredictable and irregular legacy income.
Our cash reserves are still strong, with over £3.1m in cash or cash equivalents and a further £2.1m in investments at 31 March 2025.
Our praspects for 2025-26 and beyond do not look as healthy following the inflationary pressures on both pay (National Minimum Living Wage and National Insurance contributions increase) and non-pay costs and we expect our income challenges to continue. This means our potential budgeted deficit for 2025-26 could exceed £700,000. Keeping our Reserves Policy in mind at all times, the SMT and the Board of Trustees are closely monitoring the monthly management accounts, cash flow and reserves position, and forecast. We keep allocating our resources efficiently and promote oversight, review of our service models and

processes and focus on best return on investment income generation streams, We also keep strengthening our management intelligence information to optimise our scrutiny.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As we enter a new strategic period in 2025, our refreshed focus will build on the foundations we have created in prior years. We continue to operate in an uncertain context that is driving financial volatility. Despite this our population continues to grow and age, driving increased levels of demand. How we respond nationally is under scrutiny, no more so than in the speciality of Palliative and End of Life Care through the Assisted Dying Bill. Putting inte sharp focus inequity of provision, access and quality, it is essential that St. Rocco's positions itself to influence at all levels in support of our Warrington population
The work we have done over the last strategic period has further distilled our understanding of the needs of our population and our organisational opportunities and risks. Our new strategy is therefore positioned on four key influencing factors:
-
The growth in our population and how we expand the ways in which people can access our care, focusing on our community-based models of care
-
Developing our services to respond to the needs and wishes of our changing population
-
Equitable inclusive access to Palliative and End of Life Care for all of our population
-
Building services that are sustainable so that we are here for our current and future generations
Centring our focus in these areas will support us to evolve our services to keep pace with the evercnanging needs of our population, whilst strengthening organisational resilience for the future. To deliver against our ambition, our future work will be constructed around three key building blocks: care quality, an empowered workforce and organisational transformation:
We will transform our services and deliver high quality, inclusive, specialist palliative and end-of-life care (PEOLC) care to our community. We will achieve this through:
-
New models/ways of working
-
Developing cultural and religious links and grow accessibility
-
® Understanding and respond to future demand
We will be a great place to work and to volunteer where experience and skills are recognised, supporting and empowering our people to deliver the very best levels of service and care. We will achieve this by investing in and developing:
- Inspirational leadership/coaching

For the period ended 31 March 2025
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees responsibilities, 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 contral as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errar.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the 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 2 guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstaternents can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the econamic 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 misstaternents in respectof irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held in order to identify any laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. Throughout the audit, the team were updated with the outcomes of these enquiries including consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the charitable company and the group.

- ROCCO’S HOSPICE (Registered Number: 1565543) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To THE MEMBERS OF ST ROCCO'S HOSPICE
For the period ended 31 March 2025
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
No instances of material non-compliance were identified, although the prospect of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is inherently difficult. This is due to: difficulty in detecting irregularities; limits imposed by the effectiveness of the entity's controls; and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities as a result of fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those that resulting from error. Despite the audit being planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK), there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www. fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
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 thase matters we are required ta state to them in an auditors' 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.
