Strateglc report The description under the headings 'Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet th8 company law requirements for the Trustees to present a strategic report. Achievements and p•rfomian¢e In the Quality Improvement Priorities 2023124 report, wè set out three priorities for improvement. We are pleased to report that considerable progress has been made as detailed beiow. Developlng our worklng cultur8 The aim of this objective was to bring staff and volunteers together to develop and 'own' a framéwork for Hospice culture that would ènable the Hospicé to become a great place in which to work. During the past year we have Conduct8d various 8ngagem8nt 8xerclses wlth the Hospice team, including questionnai$. asklng them to answer the question.. 'when we are at our best what values are alive in the organi5ation', Wè havè incrèased lèvals of t8am understsnding and Qoopèration by introduclng a section in our newsletter focusing on different t8ams, their role and responsibilities Completed personality profiling to improve self-awareness of the leadership team and to help them become more effective leaders and managers Shared with the staff team the drafl values for comment prfor to rolling them out. Once finalised the aim 18 to provide focus and a greater sense of purpose and engagement, reinforcing our broader goals and feeding into everyday decisions and work. These will act as one of the bulldlng blocks of hospice culture. giving a rnnsistent f$ranGe point, even in times of thange. Measuring clinical effectiveness.. A fundamental review Consldering the National Guidance for Palliative and End of Life Care, we Identmed the need for a fundamentsl review of the tools we use to measur8 clinical 8ffectiv8n8ss and evaluate how compatible they are with a rSOn- ntred approach. We identified a handful of current ass8ssm8nt tools which ar8 routinely completed on a daily or weekly basis. W8 then fomied a team from the Inpatient Unit to review each assessment tool. This proje¢t was split into threo phases=. Audit of current tolls. a lit8rature s8arch. r8vi&w of NICE guidance. collat8 b8St practice from local hospic8 networks and hospitals. FonulatIOn/adapt1on of Glinical tool and publish within Syslmone Provide staff education to enable trial and revi8w In three months against data collated from current tools. Our Ilteralure revlew and research on the first phase highlighted themes such as Incomplete ass8ssm8nt tools, poor sensitivity accuracy, inadequate Int8r-rat8r r81iabllity- thls may b8 due to lack of clear definitions withln the categories and differentiating level of knowledge between the users. For example, limitalions in the predlctive validity of the Waterlow sco. By contrast, within palliative care the PURPOSE-T assessment tool can be indivlduallsed, providlng speclfic care to that patient. We havè therefore formed a collaboration wtth a local hospice to integrate the PURPOSE-T tool Into practice and, by working together, plan to slandardise care.
DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 We are also currently piloting a nursing acuty tool known as The Mary Potter Tool". to assess individual patient acuty levels. to support decisions around admission and discharge and identfy appropriate staffing levels to ensure a high standard of nursing care and safety. W8 are now able to progress to the second and third phases of the review which we plan to complete within the next six months. Widening aCsS to Hospice servi$ This quality improvement priority emerged from our ambition to ensure Hospice care is accessible to the whole community. especially people with a low social*conomic status who are under-represented in our services. Our vision was to work with those system partners who already engage with people who are homeless, in vulnerable housing or experiencing financial hardship, to improve their awareness of Hospice services and to sw)port people known to them with palliative care needs. We also wanted to learn how to reduce barriers to Hospi care arKI deliver more inclusive services. In April 2023 the Hospice was awarded a grant through Hospice UK to implement a 1&month outreach programme with three main obje¢tives:_ Out-Reach', regular visits to voluntary organisations to raise awaran8ss of Hospice carg. In-Reach: provision of pallialive care social work support into lo¢al authority housing services. Lasting change: leaming from the lived experience of others, improving pathway. reducing barriers. improving outcomes. We have been deltghted by the progress mad8 and the response we have CeIv@d, l)oth in terms of the additional people we hav8 been able to support and the enthusiasm of other organisations to support Ihe project. In liné with the projéct plan, we have forged good relationships and rèferral pathways with the Local Authority téam rèsponsible for homelessnèss and thelr contracted providers. This has successfully raised awareness of palliative ¢ar8 and the support available and, through these contacts. we have met new people who may otheise not have accessed our services. Beyond the immediate stakeholders we hava shared the project aims with local councillors. the ICB and the Primary Care Nelwork. This led to a meeting with project leadèrs of a "Poverty Proofjng Pathways. audit for the local NHS Trust. This second phase of the project focussed on th8 Outreach to communty groups who Vrk wlth people experiencing financial hardship, including k)cal foodbanks and debt management agencies. Like our earlier work with the housing teams, our social worker met with these new stakeholders to rdise awareness of palliative care and Hospice services and. through these contacts. we have taken new referrals. Since the project began. 16 new referrals have been received. four of whom were for peop18 homeless at the point of referral. Our social Vrker has worked with these individuals and partner organisations trj advocate for the privacy and dignity of Peop in temporary accommodation. support advance care planning for those with lif8-limiting illness, enable access to specialist clinical services and help peopb to maximise their income. To date six people being cared for under this project have died: four on the Inpatient Unit and two died at hom8 with the support of our Community Hospice team. As we enter the final phase of the project we are looking to discem lasting quality improvements. Some th8mes are already emerging which we aim to take forward in the coming months. These include a named link worker in th8 Hospice team for housing and social care. exploring thè viability of outreach clinics in the communty and ongoing work with stakeholder agencies to embed referral triggers in their processes. From this year's review of our priorsties thal we have achieved a great deal. We have developed our working culture, initiated a fundamenlal review of the tools we use to measure clinical effectiveness and, throu9h the implementation of an oulreach programme, have introduced people to our services who may otherwise have not accessed them. Our work is made possible through an effectiv8, eclectic mix of stsff and volunt88rs. The Board and Senior Manager thank all of the people in our team and our supporters in the wsder communty.

The charity does not US8 professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised dired from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charities Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.

Our fijnding continues to be provided via a core grant reiVed from the NHS and through the generous support of the local community in the form of donations. legacies. fundraising evènts and our One Wish Lottery and shops. We commenced the year wilh a deficit budget of £539.474, the outcome for the year was a positlv8 uplift. however still a deficit of £195.817 with the previous year being a £336,044 deficit.

Staff costs are our largest expense equating to 60.371)kn of total expendlture, howav8r without the dedication from all our professional staff and volunte8rs th8 Hosplco could not contlnue to provide its services. In summary the Hospice relies on the support of the Integrated Care Board (ICBI. our committed staff and volunteers. the community and businesses and its i)wn commercial actlvitles to continue operating. This continues to b8 so as the cost of Ilvlng continues lo increase for everyone. We enter 2024125 with 8 deficit budget of £593k, we are therefore reliant on our healthy cash position and built up reserves. The staff, Trustees and volunteers Bre commltted to maximising incom8 and controlling expgndlturé without ompromising services to help ensurg that Ihe Hospice can conilnu8 to offer the high-quality care and support that has made it an essential part of the communty for so many years.

We design prowlures in line with our responslbllllles, outlined above and on the Financlal Reporting Council's website, to d8t8cI material mlsstat8m8nts In resp8Ct of irregularities, including fraud. We obtsin and update our understandlng of thè entlty, Its 8Ctivttl8s. Its control environment. and lik8ly future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misslatement of the financial statements. whether due to fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit évidenc8 that Is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of th8 risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, Including fraud. In response to the risk of irregularit19s and non-wmpliance with laws and ragulatlons, Including fraud, we designed procedures whlch Included.. Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and ¢laims as w811 as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations consider8d to have a direct material effect on thé financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection,. ReVwing financial ststement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations". Performing audit work over tha risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of joumal 8ntri8s and other adjustments for appropriaten8ss, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside Ihe normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimat8s for indicators of potential bia5. Because of th8 field in which the chartty OP8rat8s, we identifi8d the following areas as th8 most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Care Quality Commission {CQC), health and safety, employment law (Including the Working Time Dir8Ctive)' and compliance with the UK Compani8s Act and Charities Act. Because of the inherent limitalions of an audit, Ihere is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to 8 material mlsstatemenl In the financial statements or non-compliance with regulalion. Thls risk increases the more that compllance wllh a law or regulatlon Is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noTrcompllance. The risk of not detecting a material misstat8ment resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve ¢ollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misr8presentations, or the override of inlemal control. Usa of our report This report is made solely to the charitable Company's members. as a body, in accordance wlth Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

At the year end th& charity had n8t current aets of £2,953,504 including cash of £2,628.488 and made a deficit of £195,817. The chsrlty took out a CBILS loan during a prior year, however, this was fijlly paid off in July 2023 and there are limlted other financial commitments.

Th8 charity has strong cash and n81 current assets balances. In the trustee's assessmènt of reasonably possible changès In financial pèrfonnance for the n8xt tsvelve months they hav8 consid8red a fall in fundraising and tradlng income should restrictions be reintroduced. Based on the factors set out above. the trustees believe that there is no material uncgrtalnty in relatlon to going ¢oncem and that the charity has adequate financial resources to ntInUe in operational existence foT at least e1ve months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore, the trustees beliève it remains approprlate to prepare the financial statements on a golng conrn basis. 1.3 Charltable funds Unr8Stricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Designated funds comprise fLtnds which have been set aside at the discrelion of the Trustèes for specific purposes.
