At Sl. Teresa's Hospice. we remain committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with life-limiling illnesses and those close to them. Over the past year. we have built on our commitment to excellence by refining our practices, embracing innovation and strengthening our infrastructure to better support those in our care. Key achievements include the successful implementation of a new quality management system, which is already driving improved oversight and continuous improvement. We have strengthened partnerships with colleagues in primary care to ensure patients receive more timely and coordinated support. Recognising the vital role of our dedicated staff and volunteers, we have invested in initiatives to support their wellbeing, enabling Ihem to continue delivering the highest standards of care. Additionally, we have enhanced our holistic, person-centred approach by renewing our focus on the spiritual aspects of palliative and end-of-life care. This year, we supported a lotal of 1.247 individuals, with 940/¢ of patients able to achieve their preferred place of care and 94 /0 of service users expressing they would recommend us to friends and family- outcomes we are immensely proud of. Collaboration remains central to our approach. We have continued to expand our partnerships across health, social care and the voluntary sector. benefiting greauy from ongoing support from the County Durham and Darfington Foundation Trust palliative care team throughout the year. A major milestone this year was the launch of our new three-year Stralegic Plan - an ambitious and clear roadmap defining our vision, values and prÈorities. Developed with input from patients, families. staff. volunteers and partners, the strategy reflecis a collective ambition to shape services that meet local needs while aligning with broader health and care system priorities. Building on our existing strenglhs. the plan outlines focused goals to ensure our services remain sustainable, responsive. inclusive and accessible across our community. Central to this strategy is a steadfast commitment= to ensure everyone facing the end of life receives compassionate, high-quality care and support when they need it most. Every staff member and volunteer plays a vital role in realising these objectives and bringing our shared vision lo life. From a financial perspective, 2024125 has been another challenging year. Although our performance exceeded budgel expectations - largely due to the receipt of legacies, prudent cost management and the work of our income generation team - we ultimately reported a deficit and needed to draw on our reserves to maintain ¢￿tin￿lty of care and service delivery. We are currently meeting our reserves policy- however, as these reserves gradLHlly diminish year on year. their use continues to be carefully managed. Additionally, our free cash is actively invested to generate retums. This balanced and strategic approach enables us to maintain operational continuity while steadily progressing toward the delivery of our Strategic Plan and achieving long-term financial sustainabilty- I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to our work this year - donors, funders, partners. supporters. staff and volunteers. Hospice care is a team effort and without your support we would not be able to improve the lives of so many local families. l am especially grateful to our dedicated staff and volunleers whose commitment has made this year's achievements possible. Their compassion and professionalism are the foundation of the exceptional care that St. Teresa's Hospice is kriown for. Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our vision.. to ensure that all members of our communily facing the end of their lives are supported lo live life lully and die with dignity, in a place that is right for Iherry knowing their loved ones are supported. Thank you for taking the time to read our Annual Report for 2024125. 1 look forward to another year of growth, challenge and collective progress.

REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Publlc benefll The charity's aims and achievements are set out within this report. The activities set out in the report have been undertaken to furthèr the charity's charilable purposes for the public benefit. The Tru5tee5 confirm that they have complied wilh the duty in section 17 of the Charities Commission. The Trustees have considered this guidance in shaping the charitable company's objectives for the year and planning current and future aclivilies.

Strategic report The description under the headings 'Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet the company law requirements for the Trustees to present a strategic report. Achievements and perfomiance In the Quality Improvement Priorities 2024125 report, we set out four priorities for improvement. We are pleased to report that considerable progress has been made, as detailed below. ualit Mana ement S stem In 2024 we introduced Mycompliance to help us work more efficiently and slay accountable al every level. This is a flexible quality management system utilised to simplify how we manage audits, review policies and co-ordinate ontributions to reports. Mycompliance now hosts our hospice audit schedule. This system keeps track of outstanding audit adions and notifies staff when policies are due for review or ratification. Many teams and working groups have also moved their action logs into the system. creating a more consistent and transparent approach. Staff have shared positive feedback, particularly around easier task tracking. helpful reminders and having everything in one place. Many have found it reduces the need for manual lists and helps clarify responsibilities. saving time and reducing administrative workload. For the Senior Management Team, il offers a clear overview of progress across the organisation. That said, we are still leaming and adapting. Some staff have found it challenging to Co-ordinate shared actions on this platform, whilst others suggested that the number of email reminders should be reduced. To help with this we are offering further training, reviewing how the system delegates tasks and exploring ways to tailor notifications. We will continue listening lo staff and refining how we use Mycompliance, making sure il is user friendly and genuinely supports our goal of providing excellent care. Enh iritua Care as art of Holistic Person-centred S ort In line wilh the Ambitions for Palliative and End•of-Life Care 12021-20261 documenl. which highlights the importance of addressing spiritual dislress, we recognised a need to build more confidence and consistency around spiritual care within our team. This aligns with current research, where spirituality is seen as a vital, but often misunderstood. part of palliative care. Stsff, seNice users and visitors alike also shared the need for a quiet, dedicated space for reflection and remembrance. The Bereavement Care Team in particular, recognised the need for a place that could r6spectfully house our Book of Remembrance. DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accordingly, over the pasl year. one of our kèy priorities has been to strengthen the spiritual aspect of care. We. therefore, brought together a "Task and Finish Group. made up of staff and community representatives to shape a framework for how we assess and respond to spiritual needs. This included consideration of how we might create a refleclive space for everyone who comes through our doors. The group successfully delivered on all of its aims, resulting in a fresh approach to spiritual care which flows through our culture, our conversations and our care. Looking ahead we are excited to implement our mobilisation plan for this irnportant piece of work. Next steps include recruiting volunteers, providing training and sharing our new resources with staff and patients to help embed this approach into everyday practice and deepen the holistic care we are proud to offer. Stakeho der En ement- Buildin Slron er Links with GP Practices As part of our continued commitment to improving timely access to hospice care, we focused on strengihening our relationships with local GP practices across Darfinglon and South Durham. We know that early involvemenl with hospice services can make a real difference to patients- enhancing quality of life. supporting people to remain in their preferred place of care and improving equitable access to support. To help achieve this we sent our service infomiation packs, complete with leaflels and posters, to all 20 GP practices in the area. We then reached out to praclice managers to Introdu￿ a named hospice link w(￿ker for each practice. Where requested, these link workers have offered updates on our services and attended Gold Standards Framework {GSF) meetings to support referral pathways into hospice services. Over the past year our team has participated in 14 GSF meetings. Looking ahead. we aim to continue Oltr engagement in a more targeted and sustainable way. We plan to offer annual visits to all practices to provide a seNice update, while focusing more intensive support in communities with higher levels of sociooconomic deprivation, where we know thal people face addilional barriers to accessing hospice care. We also intend to refresh our infomiation packs and distribute them across the locality, and we will continue to offer professional engagement opportunities such as open days. Staff Wellbein Supporting and retaining our team is essential to delivering higFkquality care and this year we have focused on strengthening stsff wellbeing across the hospice. Concentrating on the lower-scoring areas from our staff survey, namely °feeling secure at work having headspace to reflect. and "working free from worry" we have introduced a number of initiatives aimed at creating a more supportive and resilient workplace. Over the past year we have collected feedback from staff around their awareness of our existing weilbeing offering and suggestions for future inilialives via team meetings and our anonymous stsff survey. Encouragingly our year-end survey showed improvements across all focus areas.. a 3 /0 rise in overall engagemenl, and specific increases in feelings of security1+4y.), headspace (+7 /0) and freedom from worry (+4 /0}. Looking ahead, we will continue to build on this work by reviewing staff feedback, embedding our values in everyday practice, refining our support programmes and using our new HR system to better undérstand wellbeing- related trends. We will also fully roll out our new resilience-based clinical supeFvision programme and Gonduct a wid&r review of our supervision and framework across both clinical and noncommittees report back to the Board and have Trustee representation. The group of senior staff, known as the Senior Management Team. hold delegated day to day management responsibilities and line manage the individual department headslteam leaders.

Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees, responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the Charity for the purpose 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 control a5 the Trustees detertnine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial stalemer7ts that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorfs 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 audito¢s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 15 a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee Ihal an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect a material misstalement when Ft exists. Misstatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in Ihe aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

This description forms part of our auditorfs report. 11 DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE Extent to which the audit was consldered capable of detecting irregularltles, including fraud Irregularities. including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wtlh our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. We obtain and update our undetstsnding of the entity. its activities, its control environment, and likely 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 misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, and obtain audtl evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations. including fraud. In response to the risk of irregularÈties and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included.. Enquiry of management and Ihose charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual. suspected and alleged fraud- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., Assessing the extent of compliance wilh the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection,. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo assess complian¢e with applicable laws and regulations., Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of conlrols. including testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transacl¢ons outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. Because of the field in which the chariiy operates, we identified the following areas as the most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Care Quality Commission (CQC) and compliance with the UK Companies Act and Charities Act. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more Ihat compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of norFcompliance. The risk of nol detecting a material misststement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of internal control. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable CoMpan￿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 slate to the charitatrje company's members those matters we are required to slate to them in an auditorfs ￿pOrt 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. 12- DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE Simon Brown BA ACA DChA (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of Azets Audit Services Chartered Accountants Statutory Auditor Bulman House Regent Centre Gosforth Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 3LS 13- DARLINGTON & DISTRICT HOSPICE MOVEMENT TIA ST TERESA'S HOSPICE STATEMENT OF FINANCIALACTIVITIES INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Unrostricted Restricted funds funds 2025 2025 Total Unrestricted Restricted funds funds 2024 2024 Total 2025 2024 Notes Income and endowmen from: Donations and legacies Other trading aclivities Investments Other income 2,438.275 224.022 2.662.297 2,364,379 165,886 2,530,265 748,785 91.722 40,003 748.785 91,722 48,003 740.820 73,169 30,906 740,820 73,169 30,906 8,000 Total income 3.318,785 232,022 3,550,807 3.209.274 165.886 3,375.160 Raising funds 848,408 848,408 908,531 200 908,731 Charitable activities 2.672,781 156,532 2,829,313 2,512,100 150,146 2,662,246 Total expenditure 3,521.189 156,532 3,677,721 3,420,631 150,346 3,570,977 Net (expenditure)lincome for the yearl Net movement in funds {202,404) 75,490 {126,914) (211.357) 15.540 (195.817) Fund balances al 1 April 2024 4.757,686 904,020 5.661.706 4,969,043 888,480 5,857,523 Fund balances at 31 Mar¢h 2025 4,555.282 979,510 5,534,792 4.757,686 904,020 5.661,706 The statement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year.
