North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Statement from Chair of Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
The year in view for North Yorkshire Hospice Care has, for many, been a time like no other, marked by unprecedented hopes and fears, joys and sorrows. At the close of the preceding financial year in March 2020, we alongside our community and the rest of the world were just beginning to see the effects of a global pandemic which would challenge us all in new and profound ways.
It was not, however, these challenges which would define our year as North Yorkshire Hospice Care, but our response to them.
As an organization we adapted quickly to different ways of working, harnessing digital solutions and maximizing innovative funding and service development opportunities. We redoubled our commitment to be here for our community and our country as part of the national response to the pandemic. And, in turn, our community and country made a remarkable pledge to be there for us.
Along with a generous package of government funding and sound financial planning, we could not have maintained and increased our care commitments without those who found new ways of raising funds and awareness; partners together with whom we delivered new and innovative services regionally and nationally; our volunteers whose flexibility and dedication propelled us forward; and the passion, resilience and determination of our own teams, who gave 120% to care for more people affected by terminal illness, and offer much-needed bereavement and emotional wellbeing support. In fact, together we cared for 120% more people a truly remarkable response, and an astounding achievement.
-wide helpline for frontline staff as part of the pandemic, in partnership with national charity Hospice UK.
Supporting 30% more people in the comfort and safety of their own homes this year, April 2021 also saw our growing HOME service mark a milestone of 1 million miles travelled since its launch in 2016.
As an organisation shaped and owned by local people, we believe we have a duty to our community to be courageous and ambitious both today, and in the years ahead. Our response to the pandemic taught us that our adaptability is one of our greatest strengths, and that our community places value on the work we do and its importance today have seen more sharply than ever the key role organisations like ours have to play in end of life care, and have demonstrated our ability to step up in response to the needs of our local, regional and national communities as part of the pandemic.
This learning shapes our latest three-year strategy, created at the beginning of 2021 and driven by our commitment to tackle unmet need, increase accessibility, improve sustainability, and nourish collaborative and partnership working. This will see us improve and expand our current services, as well as developing our range of services.
To realise our ambitious goals, we embark on our next financial year needing to raise all the expenditure we have in budget, making the support of our community more important than ever.
And as we take stock of our achievements and the dynamic and dedicated community of action of which we are a part we are excited and energised to stride forward and continue do as much as we can, as well as we can, for as long as we can, for as many as we can.

Legacy income decreased by £174k compared to the previous year. Legacy income remains difficult to predict therefore the Trustees adopt a prudent policy with regard to setting forecasts of income and expenditure which include legacies.
The net contribution received from Fundraising, donations and grants was £3,341k, an increase of £1,035k from the previous year. This increase was driven mainly by Government Covid support which helped to ensure the continued running of vital services.
The impact of Covid 19 and a National lockdown saw the closing of all retail shops in England and a hold on many fundraising events. This hugely impacted the 17 retail outlets which remained closed for long periods of time, especially during the start of 2021.
The Charity reported a cash inflow of £693k during the year, compared to an outflow of £263k in the previous year.

Reserves policy
North Yorkshire Hospice Care is financially well run with income and expenditure closely monitored against pre-agreed annual budgets. The Board of Trustees has established a policy having regard to the volatility of income streams and having regard to those funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets.
The Board of Trustees considers that the Charity should have reserves of between 20% and 50% of expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level would enable the Charity to continue its current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding whilst alternative sources of funding and activities were considered. Free reserves are calculated as Unrestricted Current assets less Unrestricted Current Liabilities and stood at £2,031k at 31 March 2021 (2020: £1,207k). The unrestricted reserves currently invested in tangible fixed assets are not included in this calculation. Lottery costs and depreciation are excluded from expenditure for the purposes of this calculation.
7
North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
The level of reserves will be reviewed on a continuous basis. The budget for each year will be set including the level of reserves in the calculations and will aim to ensure that North Yorkshire Hospice financial management is in compliance with this policy.
The current level of free reserves is 52% of expenditure, lower than at the previous year end (2020 - 25%). The increase is due to the surplus in the year.
Investment policy
North Yorkshire Hospice Care does not currently have any investments
From time to time, equity based shares are donated and these are retained either according to the wishes of the donor, or until such time as it is judged prudent to convert them into cash based savings.

Principal risks and uncertainties
Risk management
The Board of Trustees identifies and regularly reviews major strategic risks to which the charity is exposed and has put systems in place to mitigate such risks, through policies and procedures. The organisation has completed risk assessments in support of fire safety, health and safety, food hygiene and infection control, which we consider to be the key risks to the organisation. All specific fundraising events are subject to individual risk assessments. Where risks have been identified, action has been taken to minimise them and insurance cover has been taken out where considered prudent.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they 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 financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable 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.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a 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 line with our responsibilities, outlined 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on
12
North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Independent Auditor s Report to the Members of North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of identifying irregularities, including fraud
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through and legal correspondence. We discussed with the Trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance during the audit.
The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including company law, charity law, financial reporting legislation, pensions legislation, taxation legislation and further laws and regulations that could indirectly affect the financial statements, comprising safeguarding, medicines regulation, environmental, health and safety and employment legislation, and, in the current economic climate, Covid regulations. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify noncompliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These procedures did not identify any potentially material actual or suspected non-compliance.
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud we considered the opportunities and incentives and pressures that may exist within the charitable company to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: enquiry of Trustees and other management to understand the high level policies and procedures in place to prevent and detect fraud, reading Board minutes and considering performance targets and incentive schemes in place for management. We communicated identified fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of fraud during the audit.
-
As a result of these procedures we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: - income recognition and in particular completeness, the risk that income is recognised in the wrong reporting period, or that restricted income is incorrectly recognised within unrestricted income; and
-
subjective accounting estimates.
These fraud risks arise due to a potential desire to present the results in a differing light to suit management objectives.
As required by auditing standards we also identified and addressed the risk of management override of controls.
We performed the following procedures to address the risks of fraud identified:
-
identifying and testing high risk journal entries through vouching the entries to supporting documentation;
-
assessing significant accounting estimates for bias;
-
testing the recognition of income and in particular that it was recognised in the correct period and any restrictions recognised; and
-
testing the control environment around cash takings, including segregation of duties and cash reconciliations.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
13
North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Independent Auditor s Report to the Members of North Yorkshire Hospice Care
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Company information
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee, the liability of the Directors is limited to one pound, and a charity registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Crimple House, Hornbeam Park Avenue, Harrogate, HG2 8NA.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with 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) ( Charities SORP (FRS 102) ), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
North Yorkshire Hospice Care meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The Trustees have at the time of approving the financial statements a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Whilst the global economy has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 virus, the charity still has reserves sufficient to meet its immediate requirements. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attaching to the item(s) have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of fundraising events is deferred until the event has taken place and the criteria for income recognition are met.
Grants
when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and not deferred.
Legacies
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: 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 hospice that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy in whole or part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and where the hospice is not aware of any potential challenge to the estate. 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.
19
North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
At 31 March 2021, the Charity was not aware of any legacies that it is entitled to but had insufficient information to measure the monetary value.
Donated goods, services and facilities
Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from use of the item is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities SORP (FRS 102), the value of volunteer time is not recognised in the financial statements. Please refer to the T Annual Report for more information.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income from goods donated for sale in the ch of the high volume of low value donated goods received by the charity, the cost of recognising these items at fair value on receipt would outweigh the benefit of recognising them in the accounts.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Fund accounting
Funds held by the charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the charity at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds - these are funds that 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.
Further explanations of the nature and purpose of restricted funds is included within the notes to the financial statements.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, exclusive of any VAT which can be recovered.
Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in the appropriate cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity (including support costs), they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources. Cost allocations have been based on staff time between each activity.
Staff costs
The costs of short term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense where settlement of obligations does not fall within the same period.
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the charity and are invested in independent funds. The charge to the Statement of Financial Activities ( SoFA ) represents the contributions payable by the charity to the scheme during the year.

North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the SoFA on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental costs of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual values, of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives to the charity. The annual depreciation rates and methods are as follows:-
| Leasehold property | - Straight-line over the life of the lease |
|---|---|
| Freehold property | - See below |
| Freehold property improvements | - 10% on a straight-line basis |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on a straight-line basis |
| Fixtures and equipment | - 25% on a straight-line basis |
No depreciation is charged on the freehold property other than impairments as the Board of Trustees consider that the economic life and residual value of the property are such that any depreciation charge arising would be immaterial both on an annual and aggregate basis.
Stocks
Donated items of stock for resale are not included in the financial statements until they are sold as the Trustees consider it impractical to assess the amount of donated stock held as there is no system in place to record these items or value them until they are sold. The value of these goods to the charity is therefore recognised when they are sold in the shops.
Financial instruments
The charity
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity held for working capital.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
21
North Yorkshire Hospice Care
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impairment loss is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Creditors, loans and provisions
Creditors, loans and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors, loans and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial liabilities are only derecognised when, and only when, the charity discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Amounts recognised as provisions are best estimates of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Taxation
North Yorkshire Hospice Care is a registered charity and as such is a charity within the meaning of schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the Hospice is potentially entitled to tax exemption under part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of income and gains arising.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the C s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
Residual values of freehold properties
The charity owns freehold properties which are depreciated at cost less estimated residual value over the remainder of their useful economic life. The residual values are estimated based on the current market value of the properties assuming they are already of the age and condition expected at the end of their useful life.
Legacies
The value of accrued legacies are estimated based management review of estate accounts and other information provided by executors.
