## **THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Introduction** 

The Trustees and Directors of The Martlets Hospice Limited present their Annual Report, including the Directors' Report and Strategic Report, for the year ended 31 March 2022 together with the Consolidated Accounts for the Charity and its subsidiaries. 

The accounts comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **The Martlets Hospice Limited** 

The Martlets Hospice Limited (Martlets, the Hospice, the Charity, the Company) is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In April 1997, a purpose-built, 18-bed Hospice opened, ready to care for people in and around the Brighton and Hove community. It brought together three charities: Coppercliff Hospice, the Tarner Home and the Macmillan Day Services. This report covers the period April 2021 to March 2022. 

## **Objectives of the Charity and Principal Activities and Organisation of our Work** 

As a Charity, we provide people affected by terminal illness in Brighton and Hove and neighbouring areas with the very best care and support. We help people do the things they love with the time they have. Our life-changing hospice care gives people living with terminal illness hope, purpose, and possibility. We continue to extend our reach to help as many people in our community as possible, ensuring that patients, family, and friends have access to our services. Our work is made possible only by the generosity of our supporters. The Charity achieves these objectives by: 

- a) providing care which is free at the point of delivery to adults with serious and life-threatening illness; 

- b) operating a service at one’s home that takes specialist palliative care professionals, including medical consultants, clinical nurse specialists and hands-on care professionals, into the homes of patients; 

- c) operating a service at one’s home that takes skilled, hands-on hospice care into the homes of patients; 

- d) operating a respite service that supports the carers of patients; 

- e) providing a bereavement service for relatives and carers; 

- f) providing a range of day services for patients and carers to support their health and well-being; and 

- g) working in partnership with the NHS, charities, and organisations to extend and maximise reach and impact. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in the planning of future activities.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **COVID-19** 

The impact of COVID-19 on Martlets’ operational and financial performance during 2020-21 was very significant and this was described in our previous annual report. The extended period of lockdown restrictions that began in early 2021 was not lifted until the middle of the year. Martlets continued to deal with operational disruption and the impact on staff, volunteers, and those we care for. Most measures implemented to provide safety and stability in operations and service provision remained in place until June 2022. In the latter part of the reporting year these aspects of working life overlapped with the preparation for temporary off-site relocation that occurred in advance of site work commencing on our building project. 

## Services 

Our clinical services had to introduce different ways of delivering care during the pandemic and quickly established remote video consultations as an alternative to face-to-face appointments. Counselling for patients and bereaved relatives was also delivered online. With the need to socially distance, our IPU was unable to fully use communal rooms and only single rooms or family rooms were utilised. Our ability to allow visitors to see their loved ones was challenged throughout the period. Broader adoption of lateral flow device testing was key to allowing visiting to increase safely. Patients were prioritised for admission as before, however there was an overall reduction in admissions, as many people wanted to be cared for at home. The increase in the need to be cared for outside of the hospice environment was fully supported by the community teams. Some of the support in the community was shifted to remote ways of working and the number of telephone consultations rose significantly. Many patients needed to shield, so to continue providing emotional support virtually, we implemented remote sessions including yoga, relaxation, physiotherapy sessions. Our coffee morning and choir reformed remotely enabling group and social activities and providing essential peer support. 

Despite facing the biggest challenge in healthcare for a century, fundraising events being cancelled and shops being closed, Martlets continued to care for people in our community. We have been hugely supported by our local community which provided PPE, financial support and even gifts and words of praise for our staff. 

As 2022 progresses, with continuing risks and impacts from COVID-19, we remain alert to the risks of infection and new outbreaks and prioritise the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and those that we care for. 

## Financial Assistance 

Martlets continued to benefit from COVID-19 grant funding during 2021-22 and its value to the organisation, staff and services provided has been extremely high. £420,447 was received in the year. 

## **Service Delivery** 

## Inpatient Services 

During 2021-22, the inpatient unit cared for a total of 181 patients some of whom had multiple admissions. This was a reduction of 16% on the prior year. The average occupancy of the inpatient unit was 54%, which is slightly higher than last year although still well below the long term average of 74%. During the pandemic, many patients and their families wanted to remain at home. Of the patients cared for on the inpatient unit, 25% had a non-cancer diagnosis, consistent with last year. 

## Community Services 

The Community Team consists of a multi-disciplinary team of Clinical Nurse Specialists, Hospice at Home team, doctors and other health and social care professionals including social workers, occupational therapists, a chaplain, and counsellors, as well as a range of volunteers providing services to patients and their families in the community as part of the wider Community Service. A total of 1,929 patients and carers were supported and cared for by the Community Services in the year 2021-22. This has been a 1% increase on the prior year. 

A total of 7,887 face-to-face visits was made to 916 individual patients, a significant increase over last year. To ensure patient safety, the number of face-to-face visits was much reduced during the pandemic and this was balanced by remote consultations and a significant increase in telephone support. Telephone services continue to offer advice and support to patients, carers and health and social care professionals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## Outpatient Services 

Outpatient services continued to be affected by the pandemic. Services to enable them to be delivered remotely, including yoga, relaxation, rehabilitation and choir, continued. Within the year 469 individuals accessed these services and for some this was easier than trying to attend outpatient appointments. Wellbeing calls meant that 3,449 telephone calls were made to support people at home. 

## Bereavement Services 

The bereavement service offers one-to-one counselling with qualified counsellors and one-to-one support from trained bereavement volunteers. Counselling sessions are offered on all days except Sundays and the service is available in the evenings as well as during the daytime. The number of bereavement counselling sessions increased by 14% this year to 1,341. 

## Building a new Inpatient Unit 

Martlets continued to make significant progress during the year on developing plans to build a new inpatient unit after concluding that the existing facility was not fit for the future. The new inpatient unit will contain individual en suite rooms for all patients, rather than the shared accommodation for eight of the current beds and shared bathing facilities for all. In addition to this, most spaces and facilities at the main Martlets site will be modernised and improved to the benefit of patients, families and staff. The board approved final plans for the project in March and in June the site closed and construction work began. Leases on three new sites to provide temporary inpatient, clinical and support staff accommodation were completed by this time. The project is scheduled to complete in August 2023. 

## **Support Services** 

## People Services 

We supported the recruitment of leadership positions and key managers, including the CEO, Director of Finance and ICT, Deputy Director of Strategy, Innovation and Community and Martlets Care registered manager. 

Alongside this the focus of the last year has been supporting the wellbeing of staff as COVID-19 continued to provide challenges in many of our environments. Bubbles continued with integration not possible, due to our hospice design and small space. We had a high take up of the vaccination over the year. Staff and Volunteer forums continued remotely. E-learning and some face to face training was reinstated for small groups. Our training compliance improved as training time was enabled. We work collaboratively with other hospices to deliver training and share expertise and resources. 

A pay review in December 2021 supported a significant pay uplift from 1 April 2022, supporting the lowest paid and a second more significant move towards the NHS agenda for change pay structure, and out-of-hours enhancements for Inpatient staff.  We introduced recruitment and retention premia to respond to the challenging job market as well as rises in wages. 

The focus of our work supported the preparation of our off siting from Wayfield Avenue. We experienced challenges recruiting to some key positions and worked hard to assist staff to maintain their work/life balance and get sufficient rest from annual leave. 

## Health and Safety 

Continuing work on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) was maintained to deal with changing requirements and to minimise risk and outbreaks as COVID levels fluctuated. We maintained high standards of infection control, while introducing teams to each other from January 2022. 

Increased support was accessed via our counselling and occupational health services was utilised, as some staff felt the effects of longer term exposure to personal and professional stress. There was a year on year increase in use.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

We held a wellbeing day for our clinical teams in spring 2022, after training many more managers and team leads in mental health. Our Schwartz rounds have been well attended and staff stories helped many to appreciate the range of impacts felt, as a result of changing ways of working, impact on our community and our preparations to move. 

## Information, Communications and Technology 

The theme of the past year has been the planning and implementation for the shifting of teams and operations offsite during the building enhancement project. This has involved providing network connectivity to three new sites alongside the migration from a proprietary NHS link to a standardised HSCN connection (Health and Social Care Network), providing a more resilient and supported link to the NHS. We have also implemented a mobile device management platform to give a more secure and controlled way to deploy and manage mobile devices. 

During the year we started a programme of phishing simulations to test and educate staff and volunteers on the dangers of phishing scams in order to better protect the organisation. 

## Data Protection and Governance 

Work progressed through the year to move data files from physical servers to cloud based storage.  This not only increases our data security but also allows for greater collaboration on projects and documentation and functionality for stronger restriction to data access and enhanced audit capability.   We have also strengthened our on-boarding processes to ensure that all new starters complete information governance training on their first day.  We are pleased to report that we had no data breaches in the period. We saw an increase in questions to the Information Governance team that acted to pre-empt any potential risk to data for a number of projects, which confirms that data protection is taken very seriously at Martlets. 

## **Income Generation** 

The 2021-22 year was another challenging one for income generation as we came out of a third lockdown and started the work to rebuild our retail operations and fundraising efforts, even as COVID-19 continued to cause disruption to fundraising activities, relationships with donors, and staffing and volunteer levels. 

Our Trading subsidiary showed the most marked turnaround from a significant loss in 2020-21 to a profit contribution of £220k. This was achieved by a sustained effort on the part of the retail, online and distribution centre teams to control costs, improve donation processes and maximise the performance of our seven shops. In the third quarter we opened a temporary ‘pop up’ shop in the Kemptown area of Brighton, to test the audience and potential for expanding our portfolio into this community. The trial was a success and we have now opened a permanent shop in the same premises, taking our retail portfolio to eight shops. We will continue to exploit suitable opportunities to expand our portfolio into underserved communities as these arise. 

Our Fundraising performance in the year was buoyed by the reintroduction of in-person events, alongside digital fundraising efforts which we introduced during lockdown in 2020-21. We ended the year with a strong profit contribution of £1.38m, £346k over target. Among our in-person initiatives in this uncertain year was a muchwelcomed Light up a Life service relocated in the carpark of the Fundraising office when the hospice gardens were shut due to COVID-19, a sellout Halloween Ball which delivered our highest ever profit, and the resumption of highly popular community challenge events. 

In the third quarter we launched our ambitious £2m capital appeal to help fund our hospice rebuild, which is taking place between June 2022 and September 2023. This initial ‘private phase’ of the appeal focuses on trust and foundation funding, as well as major donor and corporate partner contributions. Our campaign, ‘Be a part of our moving story’, and clear narrative for the need for a new hospice to better serve our communities in the future, has created a compelling case for support. At the end of this year, we had already secured pledges of £388k, with £1m in open trust applications. 

Legacy income was anticipated to reach £2.95m but ended the year below forecast at £2.3m. Legacy income can 

7 



**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

be expected to fluctuate on an annual basis but we expect a recovery in future years in line with the Legacy Foresight report which shows sustained growth in legacy income over the next five years. 

Donors to Martlets can be assured that we comply with the regulatory standards for fundraising, as set out in the Charities Act 2016. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and are committed to the Fundraising Promise and adherence to the Code of Fundraising Practice. We encourage the fundraising service providers we engage with to be signed up to the Code to protect our supporters and the reputation of our Charity. 

The Martlets website outlines our complaints policy for the public and clearly explains how an individual can complain. No complaints were received in the financial year. Our policy requires that a response to a complaint is made within ten days, and that serious complaints are escalated to our Leadership Team and Trustees to consider lessons learned. 

Martlets is signed up to the Fundraising Preference Service to enable individuals to opt out of receiving fundraising communications from us. We had no notifications from this service last year. In addition to our policy, we have an agreed operating procedure to protect vulnerable people. Our fundraisers are familiarised with the code of conduct to ensure that it is applied properly. 

## **Marketing and Communications** 

With the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on working patterns, digital communications have continued to be an essential means of communicating with staff and volunteers throughout the year. A number of regular email newsletters were delivered this year for clinical and non-clinical teams, with the aim of keeping colleagues informed about COVID-19 infections and supporting the safety and wellbeing of all staff across the organisation. Volunteer engagement was achieved through regular virtual forums, hosted by members of the Leadership Team.  A number of digital communications and campaigns were also delivered for the Fundraising team, as well as branding and creative assets to support our shops reopening after lockdown. The team worked closely with an external agency to develop and deliver our Capital Appeal campaign, ‘Be a part of our moving story’, and continued to produce high-quality patient stories and videos to be shared on our website and social media platforms to continue to raise awareness of Martlets’ services and encourage donations and supporter engagement. 

## **Financial Summary** 

Martlets has generated a consolidated surplus of £322,703, which compares with a surplus of £2,030,032 in the prior year. 

## Income 

Total income for the Group amounted to £10,268,716, an 11% decrease over the prior financial year. Charitable activity income has shown a 38% decrease against last year amounting to £3,078,527, explained by the significantly lower amount of COVID-19 grants received during the period. Donations and Legacies have shown an 18% decrease on the prior year concluding at £3,583,547. This difference is due to the shortfall against predicted legacy income of around £0.7m mentioned above. Trading activities reported £3,452,933 income for the year compared with £2,122,715 last year, an increase of 63%. Retail performance exceeded budget as activity bounced back and expansion progressed. Our domiciliary care agency exceeded last year’s income achieved and was boosted by some continuing COVID-19 funding. 

## Expenditure 

Total expenditure in the financial year amounted to £10,418,788, which was very consistent with 2020-21. 

## Investment Performance 

The Board of Trustees seeks to optimise the reserves of the organisation while balancing the risk to gain such returns, and so operates a diversified portfolio of assets. The asset portfolio is diversified in cash, residential property and an investment portfolio managed by a discretionary fund manager. After gains reported last year as equity markets recovered from initial reactions to the pandemic, the portfolio value increased again in 2021-22 by £219,497 to £3,684,467. This volatility continues into 2021-22 with war in Ukraine and huge disruption to global markets and

## **THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

individual economies. The housing market has maintained an upward trend in values, which has benefited our portfolio in partial compensation. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Board of Trustees adopted a reserves policy carefully designed following the guidance from Charity Commission guidance, “Charity reserves, building resilience” (CC19). The policy seeks to set a reserve requirement using three core components. First, an amount is held equivalent to the redundancy costs of all staff within the organisation if these are required. Second, the value of 50% of most long-term leases and contracts are retained. These funds would cover such leases in the event of a shutdown, with a belief that the remaining 50% could be mitigated. Finally, with legacies forming such a significant proportion of voluntary income, a percentage of annual budgeted legacy is added to the reserve. At the end of March 2022, the three elements amounted to a reserve requirement of £3.1m. The free reserves as at the same date amounted to £5.7m, £2.6m above the target level. 

## Designated Reserves 

Martlets has retained £7m in designated reserves to assist in the funding of the building of the new inpatient unit, £2m higher than reported at the end of 2020-21. 

## **Governance** 

## The Structure of the Hospice 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance of Martlets, which includes overseeing strategy, performance, and compliance with all legislation. Martlets has two subsidiaries and collectively the legal entities are referred to in the Financial Statements as “the Group”. Governance is an umbrella term for the systems, processes, and types of behaviour that enables Trustees to hold the organisation in trust, steer its work and optimise the benefit to current and future beneficiaries. Sub-committees ensure the appropriate oversight of strategic and operational areas. All committees offer advice direct to the Board of Directors and are listed below.

## Directors and Trustees 

All Trustees are Directors of The Martlets Hospice Limited, maintained at 13 members, and collectively have the power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers appropriate. Trustees serve up to a maximum of three terms of three years each, meeting as the Board every three months with additional extraordinary meetings as required. Additional Board days support strategic planning. All Trustees and Directors undergo an induction to educate on the policies and procedures for Martlets, training for specific topics as well as general information on how the organisation operates. 

## Risk Assessment and Management 

Martlets operates an active Risk Register segmented into categories and reviewed at each appropriate subcommittee. These documents are periodically reviewed to assess existing risk and document new subjects as they come up. Mitigating actions are offered and tracked to alleviate identified risks where appropriate. Business Continuity Plans are also maintained, complemented by scenario planning simulations with team managers to practice events and leverage learnings from such simulations. 

## Leadership Team Remuneration 

Remuneration of the Martlets Leadership Team is governed by the People Services and Remuneration Committee. Benchmarking continues to enable pay recommendations to be made, and to retain talent and reward for excellence.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## Recruitment Policy 

Martlets makes reasonable adjustments in the recruitment process to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged because of their protected characteristic. Our technical solutions enable anonymised shortlisting as personal and diversity information is held back. Guidance available sets out how we aim to eliminate bias from our recruitment process as this is the best way to reflect diversity, be fair to all applicants and encourage under-represented groups to apply for work or volunteering opportunities with us. We wish to reflect the diversity of the local community as far as possible as we believe it can enrich our services and enhance our social and cultural life. 

## Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy 

Martlets ascertains sensitively whether staff members require reasonable adjustments and therefore plans accordingly to meet any continuing healthcare needs or management of long-term conditions. Martlets will make reasonable adjustments to selection procedures for training or the training arrangements themselves. This could involve changing the way we conduct training, changes to the premises that we use or providing extra aids, services, or equipment to remove barriers for disabled staff. 

## **Future Focus** 

Martlets Hospice is the organisation it is because of the amazing support of people in Brighton and Hove and the Havens and the dedication and tenacity of the people who work and volunteer for us.  It is a privilege to support and direct the future of Martlets and the trustees offer deep gratitude and thanks to each person who has been and is involved in this wonderful organisation. The world in which we live in now needs hospices more than ever. We are proud to lead a hospice which is rising to meet that challenge. 

## **A Hospice for the future** 

We are now all living with Covid.  As Martlets looks to the future, we do so in a world experiencing change at a rapid rate. In this context, we want people in our communities of Brighton and Hove and the Havens to be assured that as they face death, dying and bereavement, they do so knowing that we will walk at their side, in the way that is right for them. Our new hospice home is being built and as we do this, we continue to deliver our palliative and endof-life care in our community and in our beds. But we are not standing still; as we build we are also focusing on the following key development areas to increase our impact: 

## **Developing our model of care** 

We must continue to be relevant to the people we serve. In the face of the continuing pandemic, we will launch our evolved model of care, based on a needs assessment of our community and the challenges they face seeking support when they or someone they care for has a terminal illness. We will be focusing on developing our outpatient model as well as our model of admissions to our wards, working in partnership with care providers around us. We will test these models of care over the course of the year so that as we move into our new home in Autumn 2023, we do so hitting the ground running. 

## **Martlets People** 

Hospice care is uniquely special because of the support of our volunteers.  Like many in the charity sector, volunteering has been impacted by Covid yet remains a deeply important part of our culture and our care. We will be reviewing our volunteer model over the year to support our clinical work, helping us deliver the very best experiences to those we care for and create fantastic opportunities for our community.  We will also develop a workforce strategy for the future as we seek to grow Martlets’ appeal as an employer of choice and deepen our focus on developing palliative and end of life expertise for the future. 

## **Working in Partnership** 

Working together to extend the benefits and reach of palliative and end of life care through education and influencing government funding levels for hospices, our collaboration with our sister hospices in Sussex will continue this year. Alongside this, we will be finding our place within the new NHS commissioning structures which affect Brighton and Hove and the Havens specifically and seeking to work with other community health and social care partners to 

10 



## **THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

increase the benefits of our support, care and expertise for local people. 

## **Trustee Declaration** 

So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Company’s Auditors are unaware, and each Trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s Auditors are aware of that information. 

The Trustees’ Report incorporating the Strategic Report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 21 July 2022 and signed on its behalf by: 


Juliet Smith Chairperson 


Christopher Thomas Secretary

## **THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The Trustees, who are also the Directors of The Martlets Hospice Limited for company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report (incorporating the Strategic Report) and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charitable Company and the Group for that year. 

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity 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 the Group and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that: 

- the Charity is operating effectively and efficiently; 

- its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition; 

- proper records are maintained, and that financial information used within the Charity or for external publication is reliable; 

- the Charity complies with relevant laws and regulations; and 

- a system of effective clinical governance is in place. 

The systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include: 

- an annual budget approved by the Board; 

- regular forecasts to predict the likely outcome for the financial year; 

- regular monitoring of actual performance against budgets and forecasts; 

- delegation of authority to managers for expenditure within budget limits; 

- segregation of duties; and 

- identification and management of risk.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Martlets Hospice Limited (‘the company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Charity Balance sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement 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 FRS 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 group's and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group's 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 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. 

## **Other Information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

**INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED** 

## **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’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the strategic report and the trustees’ annual report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the strategic report and the annual trustees' report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 12, the trustees 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 charity’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 charity 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. 

14 



**INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED** 

## **Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charity. 

Our approach was as follows: 

- we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council; 

- we obtained an understanding of how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance; 

- we assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance; 

- we inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

- based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control; 

- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees; 

- conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern; 

- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Company Information** 

The Martlets Hospice Limited is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company's registered number and registered office address can be found in the Legal and Administrative information section of the accounts. 

The Group consists of Martlets Hospice Limited and its two subsidiaries, The Martlets Trading Co Limited and Martlets Care Limited. 

## **1.1 Basis of Preparation** 

A summary of the principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, is set out below. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Companies Act 2006, The Charities Act 2011 and follows the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland ('the SORP'). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical basis except for the modification to a fair value basis for certain financial instruments as specified in the accounting policies below. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Basis of consolidation** 

The results of The Martlets Trading Co Limited and Martlets Care Limited have been consolidated on a line by line basis. The results for the subsidiaries are disclosed in note 15. 

## **1.3 Going concern** 

At the Balance Sheet date the group had net assets of £14,652,004 including listed investments of £3,684,467 and cash balances of £3,638,698. Subsequent to the year end and in light of the COVID19 pandemic, the trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the group to continue as a going concern.  The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the group’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Grants are recognised as income over the period to which they relate. Any grant funding received in advance is recognised as deferred income on the balance sheet. 

Legacies are recognised following probate and once there is sufficient evidence that receipt is probable and the amount of the legacy receivable can be measured reliably. Where entitlement to a legacy exists but there is uncertainty as to its receipt or the amount receivable, details are disclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

All other incoming resources are recognised when the charity is entitled to the income, there is certainty of receipt and the monetary value can be measured with reasonable accuracy. 

21 



**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.5 Government grant receivable** 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. 

## **1.6 Donated goods** 

Donated goods and services have not been recognised in these financial statements as it is not practicable to do so as the cost outweighs the benefit. 

## **1.7 Resources expended and the basis of allocation of costs** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Overheads and other costs not directly attributable to particular projects are apportioned to the relevant funds on the basis of management estimates of the amount attributable to that activity in the year, either by reference to staff, time or space occupied, as appropriate. 

Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly and others are apportioned on an appropriate staff basis. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designated to reflect the use of the resources. 

## **1.8 Fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less estimated residual value, over the expected useful life on the following basis: 

|Leasehold buildings|**-**|2% reducing balance|
|---|---|---|
|Furniture & equipment|**-**|15-20% reducing balance|
|Motor vehicles|**-**|25% reducing balance|
|Computer equipment|**-**|25-30% straight line|



At the end of each accounting period the residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary.  In addition, if events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment. 

Assets costing less than £5,000 are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities. Assets under construction are not depreciated until the asset is brought into use. 

Assets are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities once their net book value becomes less than £5,000. 

## **1.9 Intangible fixed assets** 

Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: 

Website 

**-** 25% straight line 

Assets are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities once their net book value becomes less than £5,000. 

## **1.10 Stock** 

Stock is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stock to their present location and condition. 

Stock held for distribution at no or nominal consideration is measured at the lower of replacement cost and cost, adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential. 

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stock over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss. 

22 



**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.11 Investments** 

Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charitable company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the intity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

Listed investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted markt price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. 

## **1.12 Investment property** 

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is measured using the fair value model and stated at its fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **1.13 Financial assets** 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, unless arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. 

## **1.14 Financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price. 

## **Leases** 

Rent payable under operating leases is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities in equal amounts over the period of the lease. 

## **1.16 Taxation** 

The Martlets Hospice Limited is registered as a charity and all its income falls within the exemptions under Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Any tax changed incurred by the Group is based on taxable profit for the year and included as a liability at the balance sheet date where necessary. 

## **1.17 Deferred taxation** 

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Statement of Financial Activities, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

**THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.18 Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The Martlets Hospice Limited operates a defined benefit pension scheme and a defined contribution pension scheme for its staff. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

The Martlets Hospice Limited is one of many employers in the NHS Pension Scheme. It is, therefore, not possible to allocate any actuarial surplus or deficit and, consequently, contributions to the NHS Pension Scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they fall due for payment. The scheme has both defined benefits and contributions, any shortfall in the national fund being met by the Exchequer. 

## **1.19 Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Designated funds are funds set aside by Trustees to be used for a specific purpose. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.20 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

## Valuation of investment properties 

The investment properties owned by the group have been valued by Pearson Keehan in April 2022. The trustees believe this valuation is  appropriate and reflects the value of the investment properties as at 31 March 2022.

## **20 PENSION COMMITMENTS** 

The Charity operated three pension schemes during the year on behalf of its employees. - NHS Superannuation Scheme 

- Federated Flexiplan 

- Royal London 

Contributions to each scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. 

Royal London: This is a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from Group in a fund independently administered by Royal London and the assets and liabilities of the scheme are therefore represented in the Group accounts. 

NHS Superannuation Scheme: The Group makes contributions to the scheme for nursing and medical staff. The scheme is an approved multi-employer scheme and, as such, the Group is not able to identify its share of the assets or of the potential liability it may have to the scheme at the balance sheet date. 

Federated Flexiplan: The Group also historically operated a Federated Flexiplan Scheme. The Federated Flexiplan No.1 ("the Plan") is a defined benefit pension scheme. It is a "last person standing scheme" which means that all participating employers are joint and severally liable for the Plan's liabilities. However, because of the non-associated multi-employer nature of the Plan, the Company does not have sufficient information avaialble, in particular to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Plan, to use defined benefit accounting. As such as as permitted by FRS 102, it accounts for the Plan as if it were a defined contribution scheme. There were no contributions into the scheme during the accounting period. 

Members of the Plan are entitled to benefit on either a "Pensions Capital" or "Target Pension" basis. Under the Pensions Capital basis, contributions paid by and in respect of members are accumulated up to retirement and then used to secure benefits for the member. Under the Target Pension basis, members receive a defined pension at retirement based on length of service in the Plan and their Pensionable Salary at date of leaving. The Plan is closed to new members and to future accrual of benefits. 

The Scheme Trustee entered a buy-in covering the full scheme liabilities with an insurer in February 2017 and confirms that the transition to achieve full buy-out has been finalised during the financial year 2019-20. There are no further legal or financial obligations to the Scheme.

## **Restricted funds** 

Transfers to and from capital restricted funds relate to a correction made to align net book values of assets funded with restricted fund balances shown. 

## Hospice Development 

This asset fund represents the Hospice building. It appears as a restricted fund because the original capital appeal to build the Hospice was conducted by MacMillan Cancer Support. On completion the asset was then given to the Charity with the restriction that it was to be used only as a Hospice. The expenditure shown during the year represents depreciation and rent paid to the NHS who owns the land. The Hospice building is also represented in our fixed asset schedule. 

## Renaissance Project 

A capital grant was provided by NHS England in 2013 to create new day service facilities including a café and three multi-functional rooms. Improvements were also made to our main entrance and drugs room. Additional sums were raised from charitable trusts. The expenditure in the year represents depreciation on capital assets forming part of the appeal.
