PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 The Iruslees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial stalements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies sel out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's goveming document. the Companies Act 2006 and 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Ststement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102)" (effective 1 January 20191. During the financial year, Pendleside was delighted to lebrate its 35th anniversary of providing care to people in Burnley and Pendle. a great achievernenl and something that everybody al the Hospice is very proud of. Al the same time in February 2024 the Hospice was awarded Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, again another proud achievement. Nevertheless, following on from the last few challenging years, the Iwelve month period ending 31st March 2024 continued in the same vein as we continued to experien the impact of the cost of living crisis. including the significant rise in inflation resulting in increases to our general running costs and the impact of the national living wage increase, significant increases in public and private sector pay resulting in an increase in our salary budget lo slay legal and competitive in the job market. All of this. whilst at the same time receiving a freeze in our NHS grant funding meaning that we had to rely more than ever on our charitable income to fund patient care. The introduction and embedding of new initiatives, such as the ongoing developmenl of our hospice at home and health and wellbeing services and the development of services for people with dementia. including an Admiral Nursing seNice have all proven to be very successful with people receiving seNices continuing to provide excellent feedback. This has all been made possible. and further enhanced. through the dedicated care and supporl provided by our clinical. ancillary, administrative, fijndraising and retail employees and volunteers. The team continuing to work proactively and innovatively in order lo face the challenges being experienced. We simply could nol have achieved this have without the teams from across the Hospi pulling together as one with positivity and detemiination to meet the needs of the people in our local community who need our support. Chaimian's Report We are continuing to see a period of UnrtaInty and ever changing times. with the future remaining unclear and proving extremely difficult to plan for. Despite this. Pendleside Hospice continues to step up lo support our local community by adapting and increasing the support it provides to local people. In a positive way. we have been able lo support some of the most vulnerable people in our community whilst. at the same time. maintaining existing service provision and introducing new and innovative ways of delivering our care. In maintaining and developing our services. we have continued to worf( more collaboratively with other Hospices in Lancashire, the NHS, other charities. as well as social and domiciliary care providers. These enhanced ways of working enable the sharing of our knovAedge and experience of palliative and end of life care, whilst also ensuring a responsive, cohesive service for patients living with advancing, long term and life limiting illnesses, their families and carers. Particulady, we have been able to provide more support to people living with dementia. This has been recognised as extremely important for the future, with dementia now being one of the leading causes ofdealh in the UK. We have also supported people who we have identified as being less likely to access Hospice seNi¢es, including those with frailty, the homeless, those who are socially vulnerable and in minority ethnic groups. Besides focusing on the maintenance and development of our dinical services, we have, at the same time, continued to focus on income generation and fundraising in order to ensure long temi sustainability of the funding for our seNices. Our retail operation continues to grow and improve, and our "Rewear Revolution" campaign encourages people to both donate and shop in our retail oudets. Fundraising was also very successful with annual events such as Pendle Pub Walk proving as popular as ever. Overall, the level of supporter donations has been very positive.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Our 'meals on wheels, service, which started in late 2020, has also seen good growih. Besides seNing people who are isolated and vulnerable in the community, it also generated a surplus, which has helped in funding patient care services. 2023124 took us a year closer to the endpoint for implementation of our current organisational strategy. This sel out our priorities for the future and we are pleased to rewrt that we have continued to make some excellent progress with the strategy, continuing with the single point of aCsS for fast Irack night sits and further development of our hospi at home night sitting sel¢e. We have met all our regulatory requirements. and were delighted to be awarded "Outstanding" following our Care Quality Commission inspeclion in October 2023. This is an endorsement of the hard work and dedication of the whole of Team Pendleside and we are rightly proud of this achievement. Looking forward, we plan to review our strategy over the forthcoming year to ensure that it remains relevant. We will also look to expand on the achievements of the last twelve months in order to ensure that we continually meet all the objectives we have set ourselves. All of the above just goes lo emphasise how important the supw)rt that the Charity reiVeS from our local communily is and how we would not be able to continue to operate. as we do, without this support. We have been more fortunate than ever lo have this community backing with the cost of living crisis impacling our supt)orters as much as it has on the Hospice. We very much value the ongoing contribution that our local community makes towards the present and the fulure of Pendleside Hospice. Objectives and activities The objectives of the charity are to promote the relief of sickness by providing or aiding in the provision of medical, social and spiritual treatment and attention for persons who are suffering from any chronic or terminal illness. Activities The main activilies undertaken are- -Inpalienls -outpatients -Heallh Wellbeing and Rehabilitation Services (fomedy Day Services) -HOspI at Home and community services -Family Support Setvice (including pre and post bereavement support and spiritual carel Pendleside continues to work lowards its current four year strategy which sets out the vision, mission, values and aims for the next four years= Mlsslon: Pendleside exists to enhance the quality of life for people living in our community with advancing long temi and life limiting illnesses, through to end of life and in bereavemenl. Vision: Every adult with advancing long ten and lrfe limiting illnesses and those most important to them within our community will receive timely and equitable access to high quality services, delivered by appropriately trained staff and volunteer5.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Our values underpin everything that we do: Care.. We ensure a professional standard of high quality care provision delivered with kindness, dignity andrespect. Compassion.. We ensure that a compassionate and a non-judgemental approach remains central to the delivery of our services. Support: We ensure thal people are listened to. their contribution valued and that ne$Sary support is provided according to each individual need. Our overall aims: Proud to Be Pendleside Our people identify Pendleside as a good place to worklvolunteer and we are the health care organisation of choice to worklvolunteer for. Community collaboration To build a compassionate community involving, influencing and working in partnership with all stakeholders to enhance palliative and end of life care. Care delivery To reach out to as many people as possible who need our care. Governance The Hospice meets its regulalory requirements and manages risk effeclively. Sustainablity Services are sustainable in the changing extemal environmenL Our care is free of charge to those we serve. The policy of the Trustees is to generate sufficient Incoming Resources as to {a) provide adequate income lo cover the anticipated increase in operating costs of the charity and (bl build sufficient reserves as to cover future growth and capital investment. In addilion, the Trustees need to be very aware of and allow for possible variations in funding streams from major donors such as the NHS. The grant income previously received from the NHS continued to be an important Sour of income in maintaining our services, funding however decreasing to approximately 22% of the Hospice operating costs due to a freeze in our NHS grant. The contribution significanlly lower than the, than the 30°/o average contribution, provided nationally to Hospices across the UK. It was disappointing to receive no increase in our NHS grant funding despite the significant increase in inflationary costs experienced in both our general running costs and wage costs as a result of the impact of high inflation both nationally and globally and Ihe living wage increase and increases in public and private sector pay, for Pendleside lo slay legal and competitive in the job market locally,. whilst at the same time the demand on our services continuing to grow and the Hospice continuing to provide significant support to the health and social care syslem locally.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Income from Pendleside's hard working supporters. remained exlIent and grew in comparison to the previous year. This was, in large, due to the reinstatement of community fundraising initiatives following the removal of Covid restrictions, which allowed supporters to, once again, organise their own events, and for Pendleside's own major events, program to be fully reinstated. alongside other new events. which were introduced during the year. Our traditional events. which includes the Pendle Pub Walk and Light up a Life celebrations, did particularfy well, with great support whilst, at the same time. raising a substantial amounl of funding. We also successfully held several new Fundraising events in celebration of our 35th anniversary including Memories on the Lake, which replaced our previous Sunflower event, Pendleside Does Slriclly, The Great Pendleside Trek and Pumpkin Trail all of which were very well received and supported by our community and raised significant funds to support the work of the Hospice. It was also very positive to work, once again, with local businesses in the local area, and lo bring back our Corporate Challenge event, which had to be put on hold due to the Covid pandemic. Businesses in the Burnley and Pendle areas together raised over £167,926.74 to support the work of the Hospice. Our retsil operation was this year moved into our new trading account as part of our risk strategy. Following a challenging few years for our reiail operation. a positive action plan and a new campaign for our 35th anniversary "Rewear Revolulion" (the campaign aiming to raise awareness of the benefits of shopping for preloved items and, in doing so. raising vital funds for patient care at Pendleside it was encouraging to see the shops doing well and once again raising the highest level of retail income in the history of the Hospi. We continued to build on links with other Ial retailers. who continued lo donate new gcK)ds for selling in our shops. In addition. the Hospice eBay shop once again did well raising £77.400 with plans to grow this income further over the forthcoming year. Our meals on wheels service set up in Covid, as a pilot, to supporl people who are frail and housebound whether or not they are known to the Hospice, has now been fully embedded in our service provision and continues to grow. This is the only SeN1 charged for by Pendleside and consequendy as well as delivering a service to local people it makes a small contribution to funding patient care. Lottery income was reduced for the third year running. down significantly by 6 %. however wilh expenditure less than in previous years overall the surplus was down by only 5Yo. This is thought to be due to the increase in competition with other Charity lotteries operating in the area but also the impact of the cost of living crisis. With lottery income being an important income stream as it provides regular income lo Ihe Hospice, plans are in place for the forthcoming year to revitalise the lottery with a new campaign and to commence lottery canvassing again. Along with all of the above, and more crucially than ever as the Hospice sees its NHS funding remaining static, our community support remains exlIent wth many individuals. groups and businesses across Burnley and Pendle undertaking their own fundraising initiatives to raise money. The importance of this area of income for the Hospice cannol be underststed nor undervalued. As always, Ihe Board wishes to express its full appreciation for this outstanding level of public support, withoul which the Charity would not be able to continue its operations. The objectives for 2024125 are to continue to maintain all existing Hospice servIs. whilst developing and enhancing them, wherever possible, within financial and other resource constraints.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 All service developments and enhancements during the year were driven by the Chartty's understanding of ils community and service users, needs, along with national and local guidan and, where appropriate, these were implemented in partnership with the statutory servi$ and other independent organisations. Our "Pendleside Togetherf group of Servi users, patients and stakeholders continues to be hugely influential in analysing service effectiveness. recognising and helping to deliver service improvements and assisting in the overall development of seNices. Volunteers The Trustees recognise the huge amount of work put in by the Hospice's volunteers. which support and complement the work of the Charity's employees. Pendleside Hospice simply could not function without its volunteers, and there are. currently. over 400 volunteers working across all Hospi servIs, including the clinical services, Charity shops, reception, administration, fundraising. gardening counselling. driving, gardening and our Friends of Pendleside {who support the Hospice with ad hoc events throughout the year). This is slightly less Ihan last year as we struggle lo recruit new volunteers into roles that become vacant. particulady within our retail operation. Nevertheless our Hospi retail operation has nearfy 200 volunteers working across all our shops. As well as all this, we cannot forget to mention the high level of commitment from our trustee team who contribute to the overall running of Ihe Hospice. Our 'volunteer representative group. set up last year. wntinues to grow and embed with representative from all departments across the Hospice. ensuring that all our volunteers feel able to influence the role of volunteering across all areas of Ihe Hospice. It is important to mention that the financial statements exclude the value of voluntary help, as this is extremely difficult to quantify. Public Benefit Statemenl The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidan contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when setting the Charitys aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting policy for the year. The Charity's prime objectives continue to be the promotion and provision of specialist palliative and end of life care, of the highesl quality, for the people of Bumley and Pendle with advancing, long tem and life limiling illnesses and lo do so in partnership with statutory ServIS and other independent organisations. Its aim is lo promote the quality of life for each individual accessing its services as well as that of their families, friends and carers. This care is provided free of charge to all people of sevenleen years and over. Inpatient care is also provided for patients from the Rossendale area.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Achievements and perfonnance Summary of main achievements As already detailed, in 2023124, our main achievements have been the continuation and maintenance of our existing service provision whilst conlinuing lo develop and enhance our services and respond to the needs of people living with advancing, long term and life limiting illnesses in our community. including those affected by the aftermath of the pandemic and cost of living crisis. In particular, responding to the needs of patients with either a cancer or non- cancer diagnosis and those with multiple comorbidities. along with their families and carers. This has meant responding lo people with more complex needs and ensuring Ihat we provide responsive, safe and effeclive care. Whilst there were many achievements throughout the year. a particular success was overall across the organisation reIving an oulstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission. In addition there are have been several achievements within each of our clinical services, including- _ Inpalienls introducing an electronic prescribing system which supports the safe prescribing, administration, ordering and monitoring of medicines. The continued development of the hospi at home night sitting service and single point of access for fast track care The continued development of ServIS for people with dementia. including appointing a specialist Admiral Nurse, funded by the Hospice wort(ing in collaboration with the charity, Dementia UK. Developing ServIS for people underrepresented in our community using a compassionate community approach. Induding.. Continuation of work with a homeless Charity to support socially vulnerable or homeless people who had palliative and end of life care needs Promotion of services to people from minority ethnic groups. ensuring that the services we provide are fit for purpose Promotion of services to people with frailty. again ensuring that the services we provide meet the needs who are frail and approaching the end of their life. The above work meaning that we are now caring for some of the most vulnerable people living within our local community, their families and carers. Our Health, Wellbeing and Rehabilitalion service (formerly known as Day Services), continuing to grow from strength to strength, by caring for more patients than the previous year, increasing its support to carers through introduction of various carers groups and the development peer support groups for people who don't necessarily need the support of the Hospice but benefit from meeting people in a similar situation as themselves. facilitated by the Hospi. Feedback from service users during the year was oveNthelmingly positive. with all who responded to our service user suNey stating they would recommend Pendleside seN1$ to others in similar circumstsns Likewise, our staff survey was also very positive. Of those who responded:_ 98 % stated they enjoy Ihe work they do 970/0 felt they could make a difference 97 /0 believed in the aims of the Charity 960/0 are proud to work for Pendleside We were also delighted to be awarded two national awards from Hospice UK conference. for Team of the Year and Inclusivily Champion as well as being shortlisled in the prestigious Lancashire Red Rose Business Awards in the employer of the year and the health and wellbeing categories.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS.

The number reported appear significantly higher than the previous year and whilst we recognise that we have increased the care provided we have also upgraded how we capture information. The breakdown of this us as follows'.- 1,472 {1,079 previous yearl patients 6891589 previous yearl family memberslcarers pre and post bereavement 125176 previous year) children reiVed bereavement support This was a similar number to the previous year but. as menb.oned earfier. the number of contacts per service user increased significanuy. The breakdown of service delivery is detailed below.. Inpatient services cared for 149 patients. slightly less than the previous year. This appears to be due to the average length of stay for patients being higher Ihan average and also due lo changes in medical provision, 0 of our long term doctors retiring and their being a period where new doctors were recruited and inducted, meaning that we did not have the medical capability we had the previous year whilst we went throLJgh this prOS$. Bed occupancy was 86Vo the same as last year. Similarly 73°A of patients received end of life care and 27°A were discharged home or to a care home. 444 service users attended the Health Wellbeing and Rehabilitation Service, with a total of 7,000 face lo face contacts, compared to 6,363 contacts the previous year. The number of patients on the outpatient caseload increased to 742 patients.

PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Financial review In the financial year ended 31st March 2024. the Charity generated a surplus of £450,888, which was a marginal improvement on the surplus of £445,061 during 2022123. Tolal funds al the year-end came to £13,693,030. More detailed on the income, expendilure and the financial position is shown. on pages 16 to 18 of the financial slatements. With Covid no longer a serious threat or hindrance, we were able to run, for a second consecutive year, with a full program of fundraising aclivilies. However. there were many challenges still lo overcome. as the effects of the 'cost of living crisis, and high levels of inflation continued to have an effect on both inwme levels and operational expendilure. In 2022123, the Hospice reiVed a record level of bequests made in supporters. wills, which made a huge difference to the financial outcome for the year. In the year ended 31 st March 2024 this was not repealed being around 60 /0 down on the previous year. The tumaround for the year came in the enhanced values of the Charity's listed investments. Our trading subsidiary company. Pendleside Trading Ltd. which commenced operating in April 2021. now reports on our community Meals on Wheels seNice and the charity retail side of our operations. Income from general fLJndraising - supporter donations and activities plus various events - achieved record levels of approximately £1.165m. Similarly. our Charity retail operations hit a new record of over £897.000. This is a very encouraging performance and suggests that further investment in retail activitses should be a focus for Pendleside. Whilst 'gifts in wills, income was at just over £1.5m in 2022123. the latest year was just short of £640,000. This further highlights the unpredictability of this fomi of income and, whilsl strategies are in formation to grow this in the future, the timing of incoming funds from this Sour will always be out of our control. The NHS continues to provide support to the Hospi through an annual grant. However. there have been no increases of any substance to the sum received meaning that inflation has further eroded its effect on the Charily's annual expenditure. A service level agreement, for a 'fast track. night sit servi, has lifted our NHS-based income but this comes with a large level of cost meaning that there are no surplus funds generated for this area of activity- With interest rates remaining. relatively high during 2023124. we have been able to generate acceptable levels of return from our cash reseNes due to the availability of deposit temis around Ihe 5.10 mark. Whilst dividends from our listed investment portfolios remain very modest the recovery of global markets led to the lotal valuations of Ihe two managed funds held by Pendleside to appreciate by around £815,000. prior to management fees, during the financial year.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 In terms of expenditure, staff pay, food costs and utilities were substantially up on previous years. The increase on our lotal expenditure from 2022123 to 2023124 was just over 13/. With staff cost making up the majority of our operational costs. the need to maintain competitive pay rates adds a significant sum to each year's running costs. With regard to the new financial year that commenced on 1st April 2024. an increase of 0.6¥0 in our annual NHS grant offers little to help the Hospice with the significant cost increases it faces or has already started to incur. A pay award to staff, effective from April, more than wiped out the whole annual increase (below £6,000) on the NHS grant and the annual budget for 2024125 has projeded an operalional deficit of approximately £700,000. This includes very challenging income targets thal means Ihe generosity and support of our community will be crucial to even meeting this target. Without any subsiantial and unexpected income streams. which. in reality, are only likely to come from legacies left lo the Charily, it would seem very unlikely Ihat we can avoid our firsl significant annual deficit. Fortunately. fiscal prudency means that the reserves of the Hospice will be available to use against this short-term deficit. The Pendleside management team and all our staff continually strive to control as much as we possibly can in relation to our oulgoing expenditure However, some overheads are unavoidable and cannot be influenced or reduced by the Hospice. The cost of utilities (electricity, gas and water) are often decided on by national and global factors, as are insurance premiums. Extemal subscriptions and stslutory fees are, largely, unconlrollable. The pressures exerted by the job markets all impact on the costs involved in employing the numbers of staff we need to employ to provide our services. National NHS staff pay agreements will always make it a challenge to be competitive in recruiling and retaining slaff. as will increases lo the National Living Wage rate. As costs increase, our efforts to generate the income needed to maintain a status quo outcome at the end of each year need to be greater and more innovative.
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Investment Policy The Charity may undertake any investment that the Board ofTrustees see fit. This is given in our 'Memorandum and Articles of Association,, and is constanuy reviewed. It is considered that the most appropriate policy for investing the majority of ils funds is a varied porifolio of stocks. shares. unit trusts and deposit accounts. The Charity has also invesled in additional property during the year. In the aulumn of 2023, we secured new shop premises, which included first floor offices. This means that the charity now owns two shops. four flats. one house and the office space. Rental income is received from these properties and one more house, left to the Hospice in a legacy, has, since the turn of the financial year. been added to the asset register with a view to obtaining rental income and asset appreciation. The Finance and Resources subgroup look at our investments each month and consider that the ongoing utilisation of third party investmenl managers, to provide balanced portfolios that aim to produ quarterly income as well as capital growth are wholly appropriate for the Charity. The managers of these funds have delegated responsibility to manage them with an expeclation to maximise retums. These investments are all quoted on the stock exchange and are subject to fluctLJations in the markets. The intention is that their designed and composition wll enable growth over a longer term. Hence, it is crucial thal their perfomiance is judged over a number of years rather than just one single period. Global financial and geopolitical influences do cause significant fluctuations in investment valuations and we must be wary of events such as energy crises, conflicts le.g. Ukraine and Gaza) and threats of Us-led economic recessions having detrimental impacts on the values of our investments. We aim to ensure that the risk profile adopted with our inveslments is appropriate and responsible, at all times. Principal Funding Sources There have been no changes to our primary funding SoUrs. These remain as supporter donations and fundraising activities, by individuals. groups and organisations. plus legacy bequests, Charity retail income, fundraising events and activities, a prize lottery scheme, Meals on Wheels service and investmenl income. Alongside this is the annual NHS support grant and other contracted services. The total of our Incoming Resources for the year amounted to £5,102,380. Resenies Pollcy A'summary of Funds, is shown in Note 26 to the accounts. As al 31 st March 2024, our total reserves amounted to £13.805.773 of which £112.743 was held in restricted funds. Our accumulated reserves enable the Charity to plan for the medium temi future with a significant level of confidence and security. The Board of Trustees constantly l(K)k to ensure that the reseNes held are invested in a prudent and wise manner. The intention is to make sure the Hospice is capable of providing ils community with Ihe best possible services. It is recognised that maintaining our vigilance and efforts to financially sustain and. where possible, grow our income is crucial to the future. 11 is our mission to expand and sustain existing services whilst looking to provide new ones that would benefit those in need of them within the Bumley and Pendle boroughs. Our reserves policy is to remain unchanged. As previously. general funds are to be maintained at a level thal will enable the Charity to continue the pmvision of its setvices during a period of unexpected difficulty- This could be, for exarnple, a significant downlurn in our overall income levels. The 2023124 annual accounts show a surplus of £450,888, which is after taking into account investment gains of around £815,000. excluding management fees. The previous year had a surplus of £445,061 but with significant reductions in the values of our investments {over £579,000). It was only a record level of legacy income. at £1.511.272, that prevented the Hospice from recording a deficit for the year. Rising costs. particularly with staff salaries, increased in order to ensure effective recruitment and retention of staff, alongside the unpredictability of several incoffle streaffls, have resulted in a budgeted deficit for the financial year 2024125. 10-
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Within our total reserves figure. as al 31 st March 2024, is a designated fijnd amount of £7.748,912. This is includes £2,748.912 for the book value of our fixed assets. Once again. the Trustees have considered the level of general funds at the end of the financial year and, with a view lo supporting some of the priorities of the Charity, the Board has agreed an increase to the designation of these funds. This aligns our priorities with the overarching organisational strategy and with the Hospice's future development of its services. It W8s in 2018 that the Trnstees made the decision to designate the sum of £2million of its resetves towards seNice lines, staff training and staff development, as well as the potential development of the former Reedley Hall site, which is adjacent lo the current Hospice buildings. Consideration of the challenges arising in the management of budget deficils, alongside expected increases in Ihe demand for our servIs. and having to review how we respond to the complex needs of people needing access to the HospI'S services contributed lo this decision previously. However, with significant increases in inflation, since this was agreed, plus an ageing building and exploratory works lo upgrade the existing building and develop the Reedley Hall site, it was identified that the amount designated was insufficient to meet what it was intended for. With work undertaken to consider the requirement to upgrade and refurbish the Hospice building over forthcoming years alongside the development of Ihe Reedley Hall sile and a significant increase in salaries since 20218. in order to stay competitive in the job market, it was agreed to designate a further £3million of reserves to support this. As we started the new financial year, in April 2024, after accounting for these restricled and designated funds, the Charity now has the sum of £5.359.021 in our general 'unrestricted' funds. Financial forecasting leads the Trustees lo consider that the magnitude of these funds, after increasing the amount held in designated funds, remains wholly justified and it is felt Ihat the sum will be sufficient to provide the Hospice with financial sustainability of Ihe Hospice for several years, even given a run of subslanlial operational annual deficits. The last few years have shown that there is much fulure uncertainty. The Board fee15 reassured that the financial projections made show that our reserves are sufficient lo maintain our current level of services, in the medium temi. They offer peace of mind to both the Board of Trustees, the Senior Management Team and the entire workforce of Pendleside Hospice. Structure. governance and management The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees. which takes overall responsibility for all element of its work.

Audilor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objeclives are to obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan 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. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-complian wtlh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstalemenls in respect of Iegular1ties, including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures are capable of delecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. We identify and assess the risks of material misststement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. including obtaining audit evidence Ihal is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 16-
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF PENDLESIDE HOSPICE Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstalement in SpeCt of irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations. we have considered the following= the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business perf0mlan including the design of the Charity's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors, remuneration, bonus levels and perfomance targets., results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Charitys do(yJmentation of their policies and prOdureS relating to- idenlifying, evaluating and complying wth laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instanS of non-compliance- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud- Ihe intemal conlrols established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations., the matters discussed among the audit engagement team including significant component audit leams and involving relevant specialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicalors of fraud. As a result of these procedures. we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the grealest polenlial for fraud in Ihe following areas". timing of recognition of commercial incorne, posting of unusual joumals and complex transactions., and manipulaling the Charity's perfomiance profit measures and other key perfomiance indicators to meet remuneration targets and externally communicaled targets. In common wth all audits under ISAS {UK). we are also required lo perfonn specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the delemiination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this conlext included UK Companies Act. Charities Act, employment law. health and safety regulalions. pensions legislation and lax legislation. 17-
PENDLESIDE HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF PENDLESIDE HOSPICE Audil response to risks identified Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following= reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on Ihe financial statements., enquiring of management conceming actual and potential litigation and claims., perfoming analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud., reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance and VIewIng correspondence with HMRC; and in addressing the identified risks of fraud through management override of controls, testing the approprialeness of joumal entries and other adjustments- assessing whether Ihe judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potents.al bias,. and evaluating the business rationale of any significanl transactions that are unusual or outside the nomial course of business. 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 slatements. even though we have propedy planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example. the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations lirregularitiesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statemenls, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the oveIde of intemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to delect non-complian wilh all laws and regulations.
