Trustees & Management

Throughout the financial year, the Trustee Board has remained stable, comprising five dedicated Trustees with expertise in Business Management, Financial Accountability, Health and Social Care, the Medical Profession, and HR law. There have been no resignations, ensuring continuity in govennrnance and strategic oversight.

Following extensive deliberation, Trustees worked closely with the CEO and made the difficult decision to streamline the Charity after the loss of funding for its core contract. As a result, a redundancy process was completed, and the majority of staff, including the CEO, received redundancy payments at the end of April 2024.

All staff were offered the opportunity to remain in post and work alongside Trustees to support the rebuilding of the Charity and the sourcing of new funding to enable services to be reinstated. Two members of staff chose to take up this opportunity and have continued to support the Charity during this transitional period.

Achievements

During the year, Home from Hospital Care developed a secondary project known as People’s Corner, aimed at bringing communities together through inclusive and accessible community events.

HOME FROM HOSPITAL CARE AFTER TREATMENT

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st March 2025

Significant work was undertaken with refugee communities, who benefited from the provision of toiletry packs, food parcels, and back-to-school supplies. This initiative reached more than 1,000 citizens, including elderly people and those most vulnerable within the community, demonstrating the Charity’s continued commitment to social inclusion and community support despite challenging circumstances.

Volunteer Engagement and Expansion

The Charity has endeavoured to maintain a strong and committed volunteer base. At year end, 22 active volunteers remained registered with the Charity. However, due to the Charity’s current operational limitations, it has been challenging to fully utilise the valuable support and services our volunteers offer.

Regular contact has been maintained with volunteers, ensuring they are kept informed of developments and progress as the Charity works towards rebuilding capacity.

Challenges

This year has undoubtedly been the most challenging in the Charity’s history. Despite these difficulties, the organisation has remained resilient and forward-looking. Trustees and staff are optimistic that the coming year will present opportunities to access funding and redesign services in a way that allows the Charity to re-establish its role as a vital source of support, as it has been in previous years.

The remaining staff team have demonstrated exceptional loyalty and commitment, working tirelessly to keep the Charity operational with the support of a Freelance Advisor.

Financial Sustainability and Funding Impact

The Charity experienced a significant reduction in income during the year, with total income of £50,684 received.

However, prudent financial management in previous years has ensured that the Charity retains sufficient reserves to sustain operations in the short term. These reserves provide reassurance that contractual obligations, including notice periods for staff, can be met should further funding challenges arise. While reserves offer an essential safeguard, securing additional funding remains critical to achieving long-term sustainability.

Page 2

Resilience and Future Planning

In response to these financial challenges, Trustees and staff have worked diligently to identify and secure alternative funding streams. The Chairperson, supported by the Advisor, has engaged extensively with statutory partners and commissioning bodies in pursuit of opportunities to sustain and rebuild services.

As the financial year draws to a close, the Charity remains positive and encouraged by ongoing discussions, with confidence that alternative funding opportunities may be secured in the year ahead.

Conclusion

Despite an exceptionally challenging year, Home from Hospital Care has demonstrated resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to its charitable purpose. Trustees, alongside the remaining staff, continue to explore innovative and sustainable ways to deliver effective services within available resources, while actively pursuing new funding opportunities to enable the reinstatement and future growth of services.

for the year ended 31st March 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

HOME FROM HOSPITAL CARE AFTER TREATMENT

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Fund accounting

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Investments

include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year. 2. DONATIONS AND LEGACIES

9. IMPAIRMENT

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

10. EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The charity operates a defined contribution for the benefit of its employees. All contributions are expensed as they become payable. A defined contribution is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no further payment obligations. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

11. GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

12. JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 13. DEBTORS: AMOUNTS FALLING DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR
