## **How our Activities Provide Public Benefit**
## **OUR SERVICES**
Rotherham Hospice provides physical, psychological, social and spiritual support for patients with a terminal illness and requiring palliative care during the changing phases of their illness. There is no charge for our services.
Rotherham Hospice ensures that the patient is at the centre of everything we do. We support family, carers and friends through a person’s illness, their death and during bereavement.
Our breadth of service enables people to be cared for in their place of choice, which may be at the Hospice or to remain in their place of residence in the community. We co-ordinate our work with the wider healthcare teams in the borough of Rotherham to promote maximum continuity of support for our patients and their families.
The multidisciplinary Hospice team provide a package of clinical care, including symptom management, addressing the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of patients. The Hospice services also include the provision of complex symptom management, end of life care and specialist assessment.
Our Palliative service includes Inpatient Care, Community Clinical Nurse Specialists, Hospice at Home, Day Therapies, Carer Support Services, Health and Wellbeing Services, Counselling, Psychology and Bereavement Support Services, Sunbeams Children’s Bereavement Support and a Chaplaincy Service.
The Medical Team at Rotherham Hospice provide support for our patients within the Inpatient Unit, their own homes, the acute setting and also in our Outpatient Clinic. Patient Assessments can be performed within 24 hours if urgent.
Trustees acknowledge the importance of the whole Hospice team in the successful delivery of patient care which includes the income generation team, support services and other staff and volunteers.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Rotherham Hospice is an independent charity. We have seen changes in our activity levels in the last year which has been due to the impact of Covid 19 and means that we have seen more people in the community and fewer number of Inpatients. The Day Hospice has remained closed throughout this period.
The 24/7 Community Services allows an increased level of coordinated support to be provided ensuring that care is provided by the right people in the right place at the right time. This therefore allows appropriate use of our Hospice beds and prevents unnecessary hospital admissions.
The Hospice has continued to listen to the views of our patients and their relatives to aid our continuous reflection on how our services could be improved. These suggestions have helped to formulate the priorities for our improvement in 2020/2021. The limitations on visiting have impacted on our patients and relatives but many other opportunities have been in place to ensure that people can communicate with their relatives while they are inpatients.
We continue to be highly respected with an excellent reputation in the wider community. It has applied an engaging outlook, building strong relationships with public and business partners as well as those from the Health and Social Care communities, working to provide an increased strength and independence to support our sustainable growth and independence in the future. We have played a full role with the Health System in Rotherham in managing the Covid 19 pandemic throughout 2020/21.
Rotherham Hospice was inspected by the Care Quality Commission in March 2019 and was extremely pleased that our rating improved to ‘Good’ across all domains. We aim to build on this rating and continue to work towards a rating of ‘Outstanding’ for our next inspection.

## **Inpatient Unit**
The Inpatient Unit consists of 14 single bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. We actively encourage our families and visitors to be involved in the care of their loved ones. Visiting has been limited by the consequence of the pandemic but patients and visitors have been supported throughout.
The Inpatient Unit provides care 24 hours a day seven days a week, supporting admission and discharge as required. Patients can be referred for admission to have their pain and symptoms controlled, for rehabilitation or to receive end of life care.
## **Day Hospice and Day Therapies**
The purpose of the Day Hospice is to welcome patients into the Hospice environment, offer support and the opportunity to receive ongoing clinical monitoring as required. The support aims to improve confidence and enables someone to continue to make the most of their life, remaining as independent as possible for as long as possible.
The Day Hospice has been closed throughout 2020/21 due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
## **Patient and Family Support Services**
Our Counselling and Clinical Psychology Service is available to patients and their families. Our Bereavement Counselling Service supports bereaved family members or significant others with complex needs and is based at the Hospice. The counsellor can also provide pre-bereavement counselling if needed. The service has continued to operate as an online or telephone service throughout the year.
Our Sunbeams service provides practical and emotional support for children age 5 and upwards. Sunbeams offers a safe environment for the children to share experiences and address their needs around someone who is seriously ill or the death of a loved one. The service has continued to provide some remote support during pandemic in 2020/21.
## **Hospice Clinical Nurse Specialists**
The Hospice Community Team includes our Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) who support patients and their families in their home or care home seven days a week. They provide complex symptom management and give emotional support and practical advice to patients and their families. This is provided through clinics, home visits and the provision of a telephone advice line. This advice line is available to patients, family members and professionals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Clinical Nurse Specialist is often the patient’s main point of contact and acts as a link between other professionals.
## **Hospice at Home Team**
The Hospice at Home Team is also part of Rotherham Hospice Community Team. It supports patients and their families in their home or care home seven days a week. Night sitting in patients’ homes is available and there is an Out of Hours Rapid Response Nursing Service which provides 24-hour care, seven days a week.
The service provides practical and emotional support to ensure that patients’ needs are met by agreeing joint care arrangements with family members and other professionals or agencies that provide end of life care within Rotherham.
Community Volunteers also support this service and can provide additional support. This would be agreed as part of joint care planning. The team also includes occupational and physiotherapy expertise.

## **THE IMPACT OF COVID-19**
We have been extremely proud of the dedicated and professional approach of our staff across the Hospice in the way that they have responded to the demands of the pandemic. As keyworkers on the frontline of the epidemic and outside on the NHS, they have worked unfailingly hard to provide services to patients, support the wider health and care community across all settings including importantly in people’s homes and in care homes. All this has been at a time of massive uncertainty for themselves and their families and an ever-changing picture of the impact of the virus.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Rotherham Hospice has closely followed and implemented all the relevant national and regional guidance, to maintain the safety of both our patients and staff at all times. Below is a synopsis of the actions that the Hospice has implemented since the beginning of the crisis.
## **Generic Measures**
- To facilitate social distancing, several measures were implemented in line with guidance.
- Maintaining a stock of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has been vital in keeping our services operational.
## **Impact on our Service**
- Our Day Hospice and specialist clinics such as the Lymphedema service have been closed. Patients from this service have been absorbed into our Community team caseload, with telephone support available from the Advice line. Our Day Unit Specialist Nurse has maintained contact with this cohort of patients. Day unit staff were redeployed to support the Inpatient Unit service.
- Our Sunbeams Children’s Bereavement Support Service was suspended on 23 March 2020, support was put in place via partner organisations for any vulnerable children. Key information and guidance were placed on our social media platforms for families to access. Referrals continue to be taken, triaged and prioritised with any high priority referrals being contacted and supported if necessary. Sunbeams staff have been redeployed with training and support to cover other roles within the hospice.
- Our Café was closed to the public in line with national guidance, this has had an impact on the revenue that this service provided for the Hospice. Patient and staff meals continue to be provided, with only two members of staff being able to work within the kitchen due to social distancing guidance.
- Following local and national guidance, visiting was initially stopped ‘unless’ the patient was on the End-ofLife Care Pathway, in which case two nominated visitors are allowed. Due to visiting restrictions, a campaign was launched on our Social Media platforms called; ‘Hearts of Love’ and ‘Love Letters’, where families were able to send in letters, poems, photos or even request a WhatsApp Video call with their loved one. Visiting is increased in line with local and national guidance.
- Volunteers were unable to continue working at the hospice, strict visitor restrictions were implemented and the use of sessional use of PPE rolled out to enforce infection control and prevention measures to keep staff and patients safe.

**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **HOSPICE SERVICES RUNNING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC**
## **IPU**
- The IPU has remained fully open throughout the Covid-19 period.
- A Cohort ‘Hot’ area consisting of 5 beds was created on the IPU, all new patients were admitted into this area, swabbed on admission and remained in this area until the result of their swab was returned.
## **Community**
Our Community Team Service continued to operate throughout the Covid-19 period. At the beginning of the crisis we restructured the team to be entirely responsive, this entailed:
- Merging the ‘Planned’ and ‘Responsive’ teams to provide a fully responsive service. Several vulnerable staff were moved to work at home, we therefore adapted all processes to facilitate a new way of working, and within a matter of days this team moved to being entirely paper free and working online.
- New referrals for this service continued to be taken. Patients who are high risk of Covid-19 were supported in their own homes wherever possible. We have provided considerable support to the District Nurses caseload of patients during periods where they did not have adequate amounts of PPE in place.
- Those patients needing ‘hands-on’ care continued to be seen i.e. those requiring complex support, a syringe driver commencing or symptom control via injections.
- The Community Team have played a key role in supporting patients and staff within several of the Care and Nursing Homes within the borough, many of which experienced high incidences of the disease, our input was invaluable in providing symptom control for patients and emotional support for the staff working in these settings.
- The Advice Line is manned 08:00 until 20:00 7 days a week by the Clinical Nurse Specialist team who can provide specialist symptom control and clinical advice for patients within the community setting, they also provide support and guidance for staff from local partner organisations. This function has also been providing support to those patients who would normally attend our Day Unit. Activity for this service has risen considerably throughout the Covid-19 period.
## **Counselling & Family Support Service**
## **Sunbeams**
- We continue to triage referrals made to this service whilst it is closed, and any children identified as needing urgent intervention continue to be supported by a member of the team. We are currently exploring other options such as Zoom technology to provide ongoing support to this group whilst social distancing guidance remains in place.
## **Bereavement Support**
- This service continued to operate with volunteers moved to work from home, they were able to focus on providing support to their clients via telephone. Support for these volunteers is provided by the Head of Family Support, who, together with our psychologist, have also provided exceptional support in setting up support services for our staff during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as providing external guidance and advice to external partners such as RMBC.
- Our two counsellors continued to support their caseload of clients predominantly from home, however support was also provided to patients and their significant others on the Inpatient Unit when required. We are also looking to introduce NHS approved AccuRx video conferencing to improve this remote service for our clients soon.

## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and policies, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate those risks, which are set out in the Corporate Risk Register, and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Risk Register is updated routinely and monitored at each of the meetings of the Board of Trustees. A new Risk Management System was introduced during the year to improve risk and incident reporting and provider a greater level of assurance.
As part of its contractual requirements, the Hospice completes the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSP) annually which ensures its data protection policies and procedures are in line with the requirements of the NHS. This is an essential priority for the Hospice in maintaining reputational integrity and delivering the high standards expected of us and to demonstrate that to the public bodies that regulate and fund the Hospice.
Patient safety is our upmost priority. We have bi monthly Patient safety and clinical risk meetings the second of each month being a combined meeting with Quality and clinical effectiveness. These meetings feed into the Governance Committee which meets up to four times a year to receive assurance that clinical matters remain well-managed and operating effectively.
Financial sustainability is a risk which the Hospice continually monitors with monthly reporting in place and a full root-and-branch review of our service offer, retail offer, fundraising activities and back office functions.
On 14 June 2021, the Trustees received the Corporate Risk Register which included the principal risks and uncertainties that could seriously affect the performance, prospects or reputation of Rotherham Hospice as follows:
- Maintaining the highest standards of quality and patient experience and meeting all our regulatory and contractual bodies requirements (both national and local)
-
-
- Failing to operate in a financially sustainable manner
- Responding to the ongoing demands on COVID-19; from a clinical, financial, retail perspective
- Loss of staff due to the difficulties of maintaining a highly skilled and motivated workforce on a limited budget and with the pressure of increasing NHS pay scales and external market rates, staff morale and the impact of COVID-19
-
- Reviewing the approach to cash collections in the lottery and other sources

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Details of the income and expenditure are given on the page headed "Statement of Financial Activities".
In the year ended 31 March 2021, overall income exceeded expenditure by £2.6m (last year £527k), being comprised £1.9m (last year £400k) on Unrestricted Funds and £0.7m (last year £127k) on Restricted Funds. This improvement is a credible testament to the partnership working within our local health system and the generosity of our local population.
Unrestricted Funds represent reserves which the Hospice can use to run its services safely and effectively on an ongoing basis, whereas Restricted Funds represent specific donations ascribed to a specific purpose. These are detailed in a note to the accounts. Whilst every donation is important to the Hospice, we encourage donors to make donations on an unrestricted basis to enable the Trustees to have maximum flexibility to invest resources in services.
Total income for the year amounted to £8.1m (last year £6.6m). Income from the NHS Rotherham CCG contributed around 56% our total income. Income from Donations - including In Memorium Donations - were gratefully received and amounted to £487k (last year £478k). Legacies were also gratefully received to the value of £78,535 (last year £227,797).
Income from trading activities which includes Lottery, Events, Corporate Fundraising and Retail provided £0.8m (last year £1.5m) of support. Within that, the most significant effect was the reduction in Retail Income due to the impact of the pandemic.
We are also grateful to the work of Hospice UK in securing additional funds from the Government to support the Hospice sector. We were fortunate to receive support grants from Hospice UK which amounted to £1.4m to support the ongoing activities of the Hospice through the pandemic. In addition, we have continued to access local and national support schemes (such as the Furlough Scheme and Retail Grants Schemes). Finally, our close working relationship with the local health economy has secured funds to pay for a variety of costs related to the pandemic and to continue to deliver services.
During the year, we spent £5.5m (although our underlying cost base is £6.1m); which equates to nearly £17,000 every single day. That means we need to raise around £8,000 every single day; which is over and above the income received from our local CCG. This is a huge undertaking made even more difficult in the current circumstances. Nevertheless, we spend more than 80% of our income on patient care with the remainder on raising funds (including lottery prizes, running events, keeping shops open and supporting our fundraising team).
With regard to financial indicators, our current assets are £8.9m (last year £6.3m) have improved during the year including an increase in cash during the year. Unrestricted Funds are £7.7m (last year £5.7m) and Restricted Funds are £1.2m (last year £0.6m)
Our longer term financial position is more unsettled. We have identified an underlying deficit where expenditure exceeds income on an ongoing basis, and we are facing a tough set of challenges as we emerge from Covid-19.
We are looking to expand our fundraising income position as we begin to plan more events and May 2021 saw the launch of our Sunflower Appeal. We also plan to increase our digital profile and improve our lottery membership. During the year, we will go further in reviewing the service offer. This means a multi-faceted approach to potential changes across the entire portfolio of services offered by the Hospice; touching on retail, transport, systems and all aspects of our clinical services.
Page 10
**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED**
Looking ahead into an uncertain economic climate nationally and locally, we will do all we can to ensure that we maximise our fundraising and retail income, work with our NHS and non-NHS colleagues to attract more funding, manage our costs in a mature and disciplined manner and connect with our local population and businesses to ensure that we have a thriving financial position on which to weather future storms and provide exemplary great care for patients.
In these unprecedented times, we are grateful to our supportive local population and business for their continued support. Thank you.
## **INCOME GENERATION**
We are extremely appreciative of all the support we receive from our donors who give generously, support our events, lottery and charity shops. We are also particularly thankful to those who remember us through their legacy donations.
We will continue to focus on how we communicate our message with a greater emphasis being placed on marketing, public relations and digital activity.
Lottery has again seen a reduction in overall membership and we are looking at modernised methods of attracting new members and retaining existing players. Thank you to all of you who have continued to contribute to our lottery through the pandemic
All fundraising activities are directly managed by the Hospice. We are committed to the highest standards of fundraising practice, and all our activities are carried out in an ethical manner. Rotherham Hospice is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the standards set out in the Code of Fundraising practice. Our policies, procedures, systems and processes have been reviewed and updated in line with General Data Protection Legislation (GDPR). The Hospice has never and will never share or sell details of our donors. There have been no fundraising complaints during the year.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The Trustees continue to consider the future required levels of reserves.
In line with the policy outlined in 2014; the aim of the Trust continues to be to build an available reserve equivalent to 15 weeks of our total income, excluding income from the NHS. This amount fluctuates slightly from year to year and would amount to approximately £597k at 31 March 2021. The actual level of available free reserves (unrestricted funds net of unrestricted fixed assets) exceeds this figure at £4.2m (last year £2.1m) or 105 weeks. This improvement is due to the increased cash reserves during the year. On this basis, there have been no material concerns raised about the ability of the Hospice to continue to operate for a period of 12-months from the balance sheet date and therefore, no issues affecting the Going Concern of the Hospice for the basis of preparing the accounts.
The Trustees consider this level of reserves is required to ensure the Charity could continue to operate should there be reduction in funding from both the NHS and Legacy Income. The continuing commitment to Rotherham Hospice from its supporters has enabled the Trust to carry out the excellent work that it does and ensure it begins to build enough reserves for the future.

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
The Board has developed a strategy which will take forward the development of the Hospice services through to 2021/22. The strategy is underpinned by the four strategic objectives adopted by the Board in January 2018:
1. Better patient care through early intervention and education/integration of the network across the Borough.
2. Continuous improvement of HR processes and staff capabilities, including leadership skills, volunteer engagement and internal communication.
3. Enhance the Hospice’s influence and profile in the Borough, with the community, local businesses and healthcare partners.
4. Increase turnover and contribution from every revenue area and continuously seek new sources of income.
This is underpinned by the core Hospice values:
- Caring
- Working Together
- Trust
- Respect
- Inspiration
At its meeting on 14 June 2021, the Trustees agreed a revised set of objectives to develop the Hospice through the year. The objectives for 2020/21 were developed by the Senior Management Team over a 3-month period using a workshop approach to review progress against the objectives that were agreed for 2019/20.
1. Reduced Our Deficit by £250k and Established Ourselves on the Road to Financial Sustainability
2. An Agreed Pay Strategy In Place And Rolled Out
3. Established Ourselves as ‘Outstanding’
4. Our Values and Behaviours are Fully ‘Embedded’ And ‘Owned’ By Our Totally Engaged Workforce
5. Increased Our Collaborative Working with Other Organisations
6. Improved Our Organisational Effectiveness With Systems In Place To Make It Happen
7. A Plan In Place To Reduce Our Impact On Climate
## **ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS**
Trustees would like to acknowledge Lady Scarbrough’s ongoing role as our patron.
Trustees are, once again, most grateful to all who support the work of the Hospice, whether by giving so generously through donations and legacies or supporting our lottery, other fundraising events and our charity shops.
Trustees also appreciate the work of everybody connected with the Hospice and its palliative care services and who help to enhance the standing of the Hospice in the community, whether staff or volunteers.
## **VOLUNTEERS**
Trustees would like to thank the wonderful team of volunteers who have given so much of their time, support, enthusiasm, compassion and care over the years. Most have not been able to continue due to the pandemic although we hope to bring all 293 of them back on board when restrictions allow.

Trustees confirm their eligibility to act as a Trustee of a charity (under the provisions of the Charities Acts 1992 and 1993) and complete several additional checks which satisfy the standards set by the Care Quality Commission. The appointment is confirmed following the completion and return of an Enhanced DBS check, confirmation of any Declaration of Interest and after a personalised induction programme has been undertaken.
Trustees regularly assess their skills and competencies both individually and collectively as a Board. Trustees receive ongoing support and development opportunities through Trustee and Board Appraisals and are also required to undertake the Hospice Mandatory and Statutory Training workbook yearly (a training score of 100% must be achieved).
None of the Trustees receive remuneration or any other benefit for their role as a Trustee of the Charity. Any connection between a Trustee or senior manager of the Charity, with a third party or other organisation, must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year, only three related-party transactions / declarations of interests have been reported. Two of these were in relation to Trustee’s undertaking additional voluntary work within other areas at Rotherham Hospice and the other reported instance was a Trustee declaring that their spouse is a paid Bank Staff Nurse at Rotherham Hospice.
## **Organisational Structure and Management**
The Board Manual sets out the governance structure of the Hospice. Trustees are responsible for strategic leadership and govern the work of the Hospice. The Trustees are, for the purposes of the Companies Act, equivalent to Directors. The Board meets regularly, generally every three months, with most of the Trustees attending the meetings.
The Board operates with three Committees, being the Finance and Income Generation Committee, the Governance Committee and the Human Resources Committee. Each of the Committees has Trustee and management representation and is chaired by a Trustee.
The Board operates a scheme of delegation and the operational management is delegated to the Chief Executive and the Executive Team. There have been a number of changes to the Trustees and Executive during the year reflecting substantive appointments made to Executive vacancies and a recruitment project to expand the number, skills and experience of the Trustees.

**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
We are pleased to report that following a period of Trustee and Executive turnover in the previous year, we have remained broadly stable. We are delighted to have recruited a Director of Income Generation & Communications who joined the team in June 2021.
The Executive Directors report to the Board of Trustees at each Board meeting and are actively part of all Board Committees.
The Hospice is commissioned by NHS Rotherham CCG, to deliver a range of palliative care services to people affected by terminal illness. The Board assures that the Hospice fulfils the requirements of the NHS contract through the Clinical Governance Committee. The Board maintains a robust governance framework to monitor, review and ensure compliance with all regulatory and best practice standards established by national regulators (Care Quality Commission, Law Commission, Charity Commission and NHS England) and local regulators (NHS Rotherham CCG). In addition, the Board maintains close working relationships with a range of stakeholders including the Rotherham Health and Wellbeing Board, The Rotherham Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council; as well as a range of local care providers including care homes, bereavement support charities, patients, public and volunteers.
Due to the current circumstances, the requirement for the Hospice to produce a 2020/21 Quality Account has been deferred although the Clinical Governance Committee maintains oversight of clinical activity and performance.
In March 2021, the Hospice submitted a compliant Data Security and Protection Toolkit, which provides assurance that arrangements are in place to safely process data in line with the NHS contract enabling connection to NHS systems.
Until the impact of the pandemic, the Trustees were regularly undertaking both formal unannounced audits and informal visits to the Hospice.
The Board also monitors national developments in the health and social care environments to ensure that the Hospice is fit to respond to future opportunities and challenges in palliative care.
## **Pay policy for Senior Staff**
The Board of Directors, who are the Trust’s Trustees, give of their time freely and no director received remuneration for their role as Trustee in the year. Details of Trustee Remuneration and Related Party Transactions are disclosed in note 12 to the accounts.
The Executive Directors are the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Trust on a day-to-day basis alongside a wider senior management team. The remuneration of the Executive Team and the senior staff is reviewed against the marketplace for Hospice Executives from time to time.
The Trustees have considered and reviewed the pay and associated benefits for staff. The first pay award for staff after a few years of pay-freeze came in April 2019 with a 1% award. During the 20/21 year, the Hospice agreed a non-recurrent / non-consolidated award to staff of 2% to recognise the hard work and commitment during such a difficult period. From 1 April 2021, the Trustees agreed a 3% pay award to staff which represented the largest single pay award for many years.

**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees (who are also directors of The Rotherham Hospice Trust for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Disclosure of information to the auditor**
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
In approving the Report of the Trustees, we also approve the Strategic Report included therein, in our capacity as company directors.
Approved by the Board of Trustees on 4 October 2021 and has been signed on their behalf by:

**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Rotherham Hospice Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Rotherham Hospice Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Page 16
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Rotherham Hospice Trust**
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the report of the trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the report of trustees. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 17
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Rotherham Hospice Trust**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, 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 control as the trustees 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 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 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and Charities SORP 2019. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of trustees.
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 that 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 non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Page 18
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Rotherham Hospice Trust**
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements - continued**
As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-andguidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **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 those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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.

**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Notes to the Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2021**
## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## a) **Accounting Convention**
The Rotherham Hospice Trust is registered as a company limited by guarantee, without a share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts inaccordance with theFinancial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## b) **Going concern**
The Board have considered the long term impact of COVID-19 on the charitable company’s income and operating cost base and have in place plans to deal with any financial losses that may arise.
They have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure and cash flow for the period to 31 March 2023 which shows that they have sufficient reserves and cash to be able to continue for the foreseeable future. They will continue to monitor the impact on income and take appropriate action as necessary.
The Board therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
## c) **Income**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
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.�
Page 24
**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Notes to the Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2021**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.
Gifts in kind donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Where estimating the fair value is practicable upon receipt it is recognised in stock and ‘Income from other trading activities’. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against ‘Income from other trading activities’ and the proceeds are recognised as ‘Income from other trading activities’. Where it is impracticable to fair value the items due to the volume of low value items they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within ‘Income from other trading activities’.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
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.
The charity receives government grants in respect of charitable activities and captial expenditure. 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.

**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Notes to the Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2021**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property, which includes interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
## d) **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. It is categorised under the following headings:
- The costs of raising funds relate to purchase of promotional goods, cost of running the retail outlets, cost of events, publicity and lottery prizes and running costs.
- Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be directly allocated to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
## e) **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
A fixed asset is any tangible asset purchased for use in the day-to-day operations of the Company from which an economic benefit will be derived over a period of greater than one year and has a cost of £500 or more.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at the following annual rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value, over their useful economic lives:
Freehold property 2% straight line Leasehold property straight line over shorter of lease period and 50 years Equipment & computers 5%, 20%, 15% & 33% straight line Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
## f) **Stocks**
Stocks of bought in goods for re-sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Donated stocks are included based on values of donated good sales in the first two weeks after the year end.
## g) **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Page 26
**The Rotherham Hospice Trust Notes to the Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2021**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## h) **Cash at Bank and in Hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## i) **Creditors and Provisions**
Creditors 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## j) **Restricted and Unrestricted Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## k) **Operating Leases**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities when incurred.
## l) **Pension Scheme**
As disclosed in note 11, the company contributes to two pension schemes. Contributions to both schemes are recognised as they fall due.
## m) **Employee 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.
## n) **Financial Instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## o) **Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions**
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
