Weston blospcecarg Urnired (ACompany￿rnIted tyGuaranteEI Welcomefrom the Chair forthe y•arto 31st Mar¢h 2025 Welcome from the Chair In these uncertain times of conflicts between nations, the threats of war, world recession and humanitarian disasters all beyond our control. the best we can do is be kind, thoughtful to others and do whaf we can to help and supwrt those around us both in our local communities and the wider world as we are able to. Hospices provide vital seNices, all free of charge, that the NHS doesn't have the capacityto provide. much as theywould like to. Every individual deserve5 the besr palliative care available, which is where hospices Step up to meet the challenge. I would like to thank Dr Peter Smith for his commitment and hard work during his time as Chair ofTrustees. l am immensely proud to have taken over as Chair for Weston Hospicecare and humbled to be working with such a dedicated team, with my fellowTrustees and a Senior Management Team that consistentlygivetheir all. not just to maintain. but improve our hospice and the services and care we offer on a daily basis. whether it be with their time as a volunteer, or by financial support through fundraising and donations and for the support given to us by local businesses, plus the trusts and grants we are actively applying for throughout the year. Without all of you, we could not do what we do, and we thankyou for your support. However, this is not without constant challenges. Costs have continued to rise, Whil￿ income has fallen. Government funding has not kept pace with the rising costs and inflation and whilst it IS encouraging to see the Government commit many millions to the NHS. unfortunately. as has happened previously, the hospice and care sectors have been left behind. Without hospices. the NHS would be more overrun than they already are and with much higher costs than they currently have. I hope that through further lobbying from individual hospices, such as Weston Hospicecare and Hospice UK, the Government will look to address thi5 imbalance as a matter of urgency. Quality patient care and services will always be our driving force and myself and the rest ofthe Board, together with our CEO and Senior Management Team, will continually strive to manage our finances for future gr0￿h and longevity of our hospice. so we can serve our community for manyyears to come. Mark Andrews Chair of Trustees Whilst we endure higher costs across every area of the hospice, we continue to eat into our reserves. Whilst diligently looking at ways we can save, without affecting services to patients which we have so far not had to do. unlike several other hospices across the UK. This is to the credit ofour Senior Management Team, who are however prepared to make some difficult decisions should they have to, but this will always be a last resort. To negate this, we are also exploring new and innovative ways to increase our income, through borh the private and busine55 5ector5 across our community. We are grateful to every single individual who gives to Weston Hospicecare,

Weston Hospicecare knmited (Acompany Lirnited ttyGLW*lteel Message from our ChiefExecutive forthe yearto 31st Mareh 2025 Message from our Chief Executive Welcome to our Statutory Accounts for 2024-25. As CEO of Weston Hospicecare, it is my pleasure and privilege to provide a summary of howthe Hospice has fared in the year gone by, and to outline our plans for the year ahead. Firstly, and most importantly, at the time of writing in July 2025 all ou r Hospice service5 remain fully functional and our Clinical teams continue to give exemplary palliative and end-of- life care to the residents of North Somerset & Somerset across our catchment area. In fact, this year we have expanded the scope and complexity of what we are able to offer our patients and service users. and we're providing more care to patients and support to their families than ever before. In rhe past year we have broken new ground at the Hospice, providing some iron and blood transfusions and undertaking paracentesis for some patients, aswell as performing nerve blocks for a patient with very high levels of hip pain. Our children's and young persons, bereavement counselling groups have grown in size, we now operate our main Day Hospice for outpatients three lup from two) day5 a week with a wider offering of enrichment and therapy activities and we have continued to Upskill our Band 6 Community Nurse Specialists with non-medical prescribing training. We have added to our medical tearn resource at Specialist Palliative Care doctor level, and we have finally been able to implement electronic prescribing of medicines. We successfully participated in a cluster- randomised trial of clinically assisted hydration at end of life, and we were one of five hospices nationally selected for a 6-month pilot to make the'disCu￿1on and practice of corneal donation the norm in the hospice environment, with excellent results. On the capital side. thanks to trust & grant and major donor funding we have transformed our In-patient Unit wet room into a spa bathroom facility enjoyed by inpatients and outpatients alike. and we have purchased three 'cuddle beds, for our IPU. In parallel with development of our core services, we have continued to go that extra mile for our patients, helping them achieve last wishes on their bucket lists. and creating special and lasting memories for the loved ones they will leave behind- examples include recreating afternoon tea at The Ivy, a final Christmas dinner in the middle of the year, a visit to a Safari Park, a mini-concert by tribute band Coldplace to our IPU patient, blessings and weddings in the Hospice, and bedside and Day Services visits from all manner of creatures great and small. Meanwhile in collaboration with others. we have supported colleagues with education sessions for doctors. nurses and allied healthcare professionals, via ad hoc placementsfor those seeking experience of palliative and end of life care, and continuing regular placements for medical. nursing and paramedic student& And yet, all this comes at a considerable cost, at a time when our financial resources are under immense pressure. Analysis shows that over the past 7 years our income has grown by more than 40%, but over the same period our costs have grown by over 50%. To reveal why, and to understand such costs are beyond our control, one need look no further than the 56% growth of the National Living Wage during this same period, the volatile and at times very high general inflation through that period, and year-on-year NHS pay awards which have been impossible for the Hospice to match but have onetheless put pressure on us to remain within touching distance in terms of how we remunerate our own Clinicians and Medic& Lastyear2023-24. we reported a large deficit at the end of the year, and this year 2024-25 is a similar picture. Year- on-year deficits means running down essential Hospice financial reSe￿e5. and this is clearly not sustainable in rhe long-term as our reserves approach the minirnum level demanded by the Reserves Policy to ensure the Hospice remains a going concern. Atthe end of 2024. there was considerable media interest in the Government announcement of special fjOOM funding for hospices. split between £25M in 2024125 and E75M in 2025126. It certainly made for eye-catching headlines, but this funding is restricted to capital projects {as opposed to revenue/operational costs) and when

Wesron H05ycecare￿mIted (Acornpany ￿mIted byGuaranteel Message from ovr Chief Executive for the y•arto 31st March 2025 divided amongst more than 200 hospices over a two-year period, it does very little to address the Systemic deficits that we and most other hospices are experiencing year afteryear. Like many of our peers, Weston Hospicecare receives a minority. in our case just 20%, of statutory income from the Government, meaning we must raise the other 80% of voluntary income ourselves through our Retail and Fundraising activities, if we are to continue offering our full range of care, remembering that all our services are completely free of charge to the end user. Naturally. prudent service cuts have been carefully scoped and considered, but the urgent public need for our care and services Is only increasing as members ofour community experience growing gaps in the wider health and Social care system. caused by such factors as population growth. increasing complexity of illness co-morbidities, under- resourcing of GP surgerie5. Cuts in of District Nursing, and immense pressures on our Hospitals. We have trimmed our resource where possible. without unduly harming delivery of care. and thus far we have been able to stave off any major cuts or redundancies, even as reFX)rts reach us weekly of hospices up and down the country forced into service cuts and staff losses. Instead. we are laser-focused on growing our voluntary income streams as rapidly as we can to address the significanr deficit. before our reserves dwindle to an unacceptably low level, while continuing to support the wonderful work of Hospice UK in lobbying for a fairer and more sustainable statutory funding model. On thi5 third initiative. the generosity of the public within the catchment area we serve never ceases to amaze us. However, the past few years have been economically difficult for households and though people want to support us more, there is only so much they can give. Conversely, and historically, the support we receive from companies and corporations has been patchy and low. with a few notable exceptions for which we are very grateful. And yet the Hospice is caring for patients who are theformer employeeswho helped to build up our local companies, and patients who are the friends and relatives of their current employees. We are also providing employees with bereavement counselling support to help them navigate their journey of grief after losing a loved one in our care. which helps them cope with loss and to return to work more quickly. Therefore, we are appealing to the corporate Social responsibility of local companies, from small family-owned businesses. through SMES, to larger corporations to join the Business for Care Collective and each provide just a little financial aid from pre-tax profits to the Hospice, in return for an exciting package of engagement. promotion and opportunities. Weston Hospicecare belongs to the people of North Somerset and Somerset. and we do hope that local businesseswill get behind us in a wave of compassionate community response- if everyone does a little, we will be able to continue offering the vital palliative care services on which our communitydepends. completelyfree of charge. We are now in year two of a 3-yr strategy cycle for 2024-26which has been published on our Hospice website. Good progress is being achieved across manyof our goa15 and initiatives. but while certain ambitions burn as brightly as ever we have been temporarilyforced to suspend others until the financial picture improves. A key aspect of our strategy has been for the Hospice to be more outward-looking, foster greater community engagement, and develop our external communication5, and this we have surely been doing through our Community Engagement Manager appointment, increased resources in Communications & Marketing, higher activity levels in Community Fundraising, the work around our Business for Care Collective drive, and the commissioning oftwo short films for the hospice geared firstly towards our patients and fellow H&SC professiona15, and secondly for our donors and supporter&Thi5 year we have enjoyed excellent and informative visits to the Hospice by Daniel Aldridge, MP and SadikAI-Hassan, MP and by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rt Revd Michael Beasley.

Weston Ho5￿Ce￿re bmi1￿ (Acompany limited tyGuarante21 me￿ge from our ChiefExecutNe forthe year to ￿$t Marth 2025 Like many organisations, Weston Hospicecare is entirely rel iant on our staff and volunteers. and we want to support our staff to be the best versions of themselves, as happy and fulfilled as possible. To this end. we are alreadywell along a journey of identifying areas where improvements are needed, and thisyear work has advanced significantly on a staff Wellbeing & Health framework, an entirely new management training program called Empower & Excellence. and a guidance document for Empowering Resolution& Meanwhile, our wonderful army of volunteers was celebrated this summer during a special event of thanks and service awards at the Royal Hotel in Weston-super-mare. The external landscape is ever-evolving. The highly emotive and very public debate around ￿51sted Dying has. somewhat ironically perhaps, served ro place a spotlight on the need for best possible palliative and end-of-life care for our UK society, with most commentators on l)oth sides ofthe argument agreeing this Is highly nece55ary. The Terminally111 Adults (End of Lifel Bill is now through the Commons and awaiting its second reading in the House of Lords. and it seems entirely possible that legislation around ssisted Dying in England could change in the new few years. Weston Hospicecare has therefore convened two debates, one internally at the Hospice and one externallywith the support of Daniel Aldridge. MP, to engage with our local population, present balanced cases for and against Assisted Dying. and ensurewe are best-placed to provide leadership and be ready if and when such changes in the law come to pass. A recent article in The Times newspaper highlighted the work that two ofour Hospice doctors have been doing in this area. to raise awareness and ensure a fair and balanced view is encouraged amid a debatewhich too often becomes polarising. All our care services are given completelyfree of charge at point of dolivery, available to all regardless of background & circumstances, race & religion. gender association and sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic& We sincerely believe this has always been the case at Weston Hospicecare, but recent societal focus on equality & diversity has encouraged us to challenge ourselves, re-consider, and ask whether we are being sufficiently proactive to ensure that people from minority groups and some hidden margins of society are not only able to access our care equally, but feel encouraged and supported in doing so. Thus, our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion working group, comprised of members of staff from right across the Hospice. was formed last year and has sought to answer these questions and shape our policies and ways ofworking, to ensure equity of access and equality of outcome for everyone in our society. and for our staff and volunteers too. In March 2025we said farewell to Dr Peter Smith who stepped down as our Chair of Trustee5, and welcomed Mark Andrews as the new Chair ofweston Hospicecare. Mark and the entire Board of Trustees workclosely with the CEO and Senior Management Team. and we arefortunate to have such a supportive and skilled Board behind us. providing strong oversight and governance. As mentioned above. Weston Hospicecare belongs to you. the people of North Somerset and Somerset., we are honoured and privileged to steward the Hospice on your behalf. and I wish to pay tribute to our patient5 and their loved ones who inspire us every day with their dignityand bravery. We are indebted to our wonderful volunteers and our amazing sUPPOrters Who￿ generosity ensures the Hospice has now been serving this community for 35years. And lastly, I wish to sincerely thank our incredible staff for your loyalty, determination and dogged hard workwhich underpins our continued succe￿. Turning to our built environment, thisyear has seen a drive to improve the efficiency of our buildings, with LED lighting and heating upgrades at the main Hospice building. and across our Retail estate too. mostly funded by generous grants from North Somerset Council. At the turn of the year. the main plant room boilers at our Hospice site were entirely replaced by new, high effficiency boilers with greater system backup and reliabilitytoo. This past year. we have undertaken major repairs to our Hill Road store in Clevedon, which was closed for the entirety of FY24125_the store is now fully open. looks wonderful, and is exceeding its budgeted net income contribution. We have improved our IT infrastructure, written our first policy governing the use of Al (artificial intelligence) in the Hospice. introduced management dashboards tothe Varntage system. and rolled out the Ciphr HR management system.

Overall the Charity had total income of £6,154k12024 £5.460kl and generated a net deficit of £623k, a negative swing of £94k from the 2024 position of £529k net deficit. Gifts in Wills income increased to £659k for the year12024 £232kl. The pipeline for 2026 has decreased and is slight cause for concern but we have been involved in the Hospice UK legacy campaign this year so we are hopeful this will pay dividends in future years. During the year, the value of investments decreased by £68k. compared to the prior year gain of £113k. Volatility continues into the newyear and is being monitored closely with our investment advisors, Rathbones and the hospice Finance and Business planning committee. Over the last financial year. Weston Hospicecare's Retail operation has continued to evolve, including the opening of a new store in Burnham-on-sea, trialing a different store management model on the High StreeL We will monitor the effficacy of the new fashion, homewares, and clearance items now offered across three distinct shops which we hope will enhance customer experience and improve stock management. Over a three-year period, it is our plan to produce a balanced operating performance. The hospice is committed to minimisin9 operating costs without impairing the quality of its setvices. One future uncertainty has been around funding of the NHS pension increases from 14.3% to 20.6% i ntroduced from Ist April 2019. It has since been confirmed that the government (via NHS England) will cover this increased cost until at least 31st March 2026. It was with huge regret that we had to close our Hill Road, Clevedon store due to deteriorating conditions in the store caused by water ingress in several areas. As a listed building, in a challenging setting. we faced complex issues which prolonged closure of the store for far longer than we would have wished during the entire year, but the repairs and improvements undertaken have been comprehensive, demonstrating our commitment to ihis store and the town of Clevedon where we support many patients. We are indebted to North Somerset Council for the cooperation and pragmatism they showed in working with us to remedy the situation Clinical income We continue to be supported by our Integrated Care Boards, BNSSG and Somerset, though the percentage of our costs they support is decreasing year-on- year. Unavoidable cost increases for us are not being matched by additional funding at the same rate.

IT improvements across our estate included purchasing tablets for every shop, enabling smoother processes for bookselling, volunteer management via Assemble, and incident reporting through Vantage. Our e-commerce operation expanded to include Vinted, providing a new platform for quality donated fashion. We also successfully introduced single-sale lottery tickets in-store. which have performed well. Fundraising In what was an extremely challenging time for charities fundraising, our fund-raised income increased compared to recentyears. This is a great credit to the team which has achieved this whilst coping with some changes within its leadership. Gross income was £1.939k, £492k higher Ihan last year, explained by an increase in Gifts in Wills income following a lower-than- normal income from this source last year. Our fundraising comes from a wide range of sources, such as, our own, well-established programme of Events and Challenges, Community Fundraising from groups and organisations, not to mention donations from individual givers. both regular and occasional. We also enjoy support from Charitable Trusts, companies and Gifts in Wills. We once again ran our Sustainable September campaign. raising awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion and promoting pre-loved alternatives. A volunteer celebration party rounded off the year, recognising the vital contribution of our retail teams. Hospice managed events, continued to show growth, with Mendip Challenge, Men's March, Charity Golf Day and Pines for Pounds doing extremely well in terms of income and participants, compared to previous years. Our particular thanks go to those all-important participants and the significant corporate sponsorship we received from, The Grand Pier. Howards Motor Group, PD & CL, Limited, Gilda and Thatcher's Cider to name but a few. Many people chose to undertake challenges to raise funds for the hospice in 2024-25. Most notably, Paul Magor completed an incredible 280-hour spin challenge over the12 days of Christmas, raising ￿4k. Plans for the next twelve month& Over the next 12 months, we will continue to focus on strengthening our core retail offering, ensuring our shops remain vibrant, welcoming, and commercialEy strong. A key priority will be improving the customer journey across all stores. from visual merchandising to service, while also deepening the connection between our retail operation and the wider hospice. We'll be working to increase awareness of the hospice's work and the impact of every purchase. In addition. we'll be exploring the introduction of a structured house clearance service, creating a new income stream and helping us reach more supporters in our local community. Also, our very own Dr Adam Baker and his wife Dr Charlie Fleury went quite literally to the ends of the earth to carry out polar swims in the Arctic Circle and Antarctica in temperatures as low as -0.8 degrees. raising £8k.

Attention is currently being paid to the impact of inflation Iwage and generall, combined with public sector cuts. The Board. supported by its sub-committees. continuously monitors in year business performance and the medium and longer-term financial risks and opportunities, weighing up the need to manage costs tightly within available income against ensuring appropriate investment in improving and developing our offer to best meet the needs of our patients and the wider community. Financial- The Tiustees have considered whether there are any factors likely to affect the financial performance or position of the charity going forward and have identified that we, along with many other charities must analyse the impact of the current economic landscape and in particular the cost-of-living crisis and the increase in national living wage. The Medium-Term Financial Strategy considers these matters and how they might impact upon the overall finances through to March 2027. That said. the Hospice recognises the challenges of forecasting wider economic perforrnance in these uncertain times and will continue to review the key indicators throughout this period. Compliance-An integral component of protecting and enhancing our reputation is ensuring we are compliant on all aspects of our activity. The Strategic Flisk Register currently recognises and monitors three key elements of the compliance framework relating to CQC and clinical practices., HR and People activity and monitoring against Health and Safety compliance. The investment in Vantage, our new compliance management system has ensured there is greater visibility and iransparency to our overall performance and our continued investment in staff training is critical to ensuring all staff and volunteers remain up to date with any legislative change. Operational - recruitment and retention of staff across all areas of the business has presented a significant challenge since the COVID pandemic. Our investment in our staff through training, well-being support and a number of development channels is essential to both recruitment and retention and at March 2025, the number of vacant positions had dropped significantly with full establishment in place in clinical and medical areas. At this point it 15 Other areas of the organisation such as retail and housekeeping where the ability to successfully recruit is proving more challenging.

We work closely with stakeholders, including the patients who receive our services. as well as those who fund these services, to ensure that our activities are structured accordingly. In addition. we recognise the challenges of new technology and the different ways of communicating and processing transactions. The increasing risk related to cyber activities is managed proactively within the organisation, but we recognise that there is always more that can be done, and we continue to work in partnership with our IT service provider to actively mitigate this risk as it becomes more complex to manage. 17

The minimum level of reserves is calculated for both scenarios and the higher of these two informs the ongoing minimum level of reserves. This exercise has revealed Ihat the level of reserves demanded as a going concern is significantly higher than the level of reserves demanded for the theoretical close-down scenario, and thus it is the former which sets our level of reserves according to the calculation described below. future known issues e.g. trading losses. insofar as they have not been provided for in the financial statements.

The reserves that would be necessary to maintain the charity's full objectives and services, taking into account the reasonably likely risks of fall in income and increase in cost over a future two-year period, is used for the calculation on a going concern basis.

Free reserves are defined in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines to exclude restricted and designated funds, and to exclude the value of fixed assets required to operate the hospice. Where a significant proportion of reserves relales to investment property the appropriateness of including its value will be assessed at the time of the calculation. Of the total funds referred to above, the free reserves available to the Charity, without the need to dispose of tangible fixed assets total £3.5m which would cover approximately 6 months running costs12024". £4.2ml. Reserve requirements are estimated by a risk-based approach estimating a plausible "worst case" reduction in our income streams and increase in our expenses- a range of annual percentage reductions between 5-30% are postulated forthe various income streams and a 5% annual increase is postulated for our expenses. The resulting cash impact is aggregated over a two-year period which is considered to represent a reasonable period associated with the worst case scenario and is long enough for us to readjust income streams and. if necessary. to reduce expenditure. There are also specific provisions made for The total unrestricted funds held by the group at 31 March 2025 were £7.6m.

Fundraising Practices The Trustees confirm that Weston Hospicecare Limited undertakes its fundraising activities in accordance with best practice and in line with current Code of Fundraising Practice. There is abnormal uncertainty surrounding the economic risks noted above, which could have a significant impact on our operations. The cost of living crisis could severely restrict our fundraising activities as people may not be able to afford to give as much to charity. Therefore it is prudent and appropriate that we are endeavoring to protect remain ing reserves as best we can while building ourvoluntary income as fast as reasonably possible, to safeguard sustainability of our care, which thus far we have managed to maintain throughout and since the COVID pandemic.

We are closely watching the situation with the NHS pay awards as this may affect our abilityto recruit and retain staff and we will continue to work closely with our Integrated Care Boards with whom we have built a strong relationship to share any concerns we have about sustaining pay increases. When entering into commercial partnerships we always obtain written agreements, making clear the roles and responsibilities of each party. The impact of cost of living including the national insurance increases means we expect to finish 2025126 with a deficit which if necessity will be funded from the surplus reported for prior years. We recognise that the users of our services and indeed our supporters can be vulnerable and require protection from abuse and exploitation. The privacy and dignity of our patients and sensitivity to their needs and wellbeing is paramount to us. Our safeguarding adults at risk policy governs how we deal with vulnerable people and this can be made available on request, as required by the Fundraising Regulator. Governance Alongside all usual governance activities, our key governance focus areas for 2025126 will include- The hospice risk management system and processes around annual review of risk registers. As a Hospice we now have introduced risk management software package Vantage which will be expanded further. Continually improve our information governance and GDPR improvement plan. including the possibility of a new document management system such as Sharepoint to better manage control and permissions of digital data. Plans for future periods Our financial focus during 202¥26 will once again be on the cost of living pressures we are now facing. We will also continue to look to develop ways we can reduce our carbon footprint and have already made several steps forward on this by installing solar panels on our main Hospice building and changing to LED both within the main Hospice building and across our Retail estate thanks to Net Zero grant funding from North Somerset Council. Clinical Services & Strategy Care for patients and their loved ones remains at the heart of everything we do. Plans were put on hold to refresh our in- patient unit bedrooms as we face cost of living pressures but we continue to strive to offer the best service we can to patients in our catchment area through continuous service assessmenl and improvements. One such improvement will be further focus on nurse-led admissions so that our patients have continuity of care from the community into our in-patient unit and a friendly face to help settle them at what can be such a daunting time. Budget 2025126 We expect the majority of 2025f26 to continue to be affected in one way or another by the cost of living crisis. We anticipate an increase in Fundraising income from the prior year as event participation increases and an increase in costs across the board. Retail income has flattened off and we are looking to make modest gains on our current portfolio of shops where as always, we look to maximise income. We have also 20

Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities set out on page 21, 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 15 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 trustee5 are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern. disc105ing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors Èither intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below- 26

Weston H¢Jsr*cecare Umited (Acornpany ￿rnited ￿Gu￿ant￿l Indyndentauditorfsreport to the rnernbers ofwesion Hos[pi￿care ￿mIled fortheyear to 31st March 2025 As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Group. We gained an understanding of the sector in which the Group operates as part of this assessment to ider)tify the key laws and regulations affecting the Group. The regulatory environment was discussed with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance and the Group's website for indication of any regulations and certification in place. The key regulations we identified were health and safety regulations, CQC regulations and breaches of The General Data Protection Regulation I'GDPR"). We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SOF2PI. We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations in monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the Group's ability to continue operating and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts.we also evaluated management's incentives and opportunities foi fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following: Enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of any non-compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements. Review of up to date correspondence with the CQC, CQC website and last inspection report to identify any non-compliance. Review of the group's GDPR policy, search of the ICO website and enquiries to the Data Protection Officer as to the occurrence and outcome of any reportable breaches. Reviewed legal and professional costs to identify any possible non-compliance or legal costs in respect of non-compliance. We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement through management override or fraud, including in relation to cash income and expenditure, and obtained an understanding of the controls in place to mitigate the risk of fraud. We also discussed with management whether there had been any instances of known or alleged fraud, of which there were none. Based upon our understanding we designed and conducted audit procedures including: Audited the risk of management override of controls. including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. Audited revenue and income recognition including that revenue is only recognised to the extent that the entity obtains right to consideration for its performance, and that this can be measured with reasonable accuracy. Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making the estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations. or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with the laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. 27

Comparative information relates to the year ended 31st March 2024. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis The charity reported a cash outflow of £427k during the year.

Basis of consolidation The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Weston Hospicecare Limited and of its subsidiary undertaking I'subsidiary'l on a line-by-line basis. The charity has taken advantage of the exemption contained within 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and Expenditure Account.

The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. any performance conditions attached to the itemlsl of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received. and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants. whether capital grants or revenue grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met. it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. For Gifts in Wills, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either the charity is aware that probate has been granted the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executorls} to the Trust that a distribution will be made. or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a gift in will in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where Gifts in Wills have been notified to the charity or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met then the gift in will is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material Isee note 301 Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activitie& Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities. they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Cosls of generating funds are those costs incurred in fundraising and those costs incurred in trading activities that raise funds. The costs of charitable activities are those of providing a community-based specialist palliative care service. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment. These are valued at cost as there is not thought to be a significant difference with their market value. 2.11 Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and 51ow-moving stocks.

Weston Hc6picecare knrnited IACompany ￿rnited iyGuar3nteel Notestothe Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2025 2.15 Financial instruments The Charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financia instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measuied ai their settlement value. 2.16 Pensions Employees can join a defined contribution pension scheme which is administered by Scottish Widows. The group also contributes to the NHS pension scheme on behalf of a number of staff who are eligible to join such schemes. Staff transferring from the NHS may continue to contribute to the NHS scheme. The NHS scheme is a defined benefit scheme but the charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities and as permitted by FRS 102 (section 17 of Charities SORPI, it accounts for the Plan as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As such these accounts do not recognise any assets or liabilities in relation to this scheme. 2.17 Donations in kind In addition to the amounts included in the financial statements, the organisation benefited from many hours of volunteer help during the year, most of which came in the form of direct assistance in manning the administration office. fund raising. publicity and uncharged professional services. The charity could not have achieved its current level of accumulated funds or clinical service provision without their gratefully received assistance. Volunteers time is not recognised in the financial statements. We have also received support from local businesses such as donations of food and drink items which have been invaluable when running our events. Gifts in kind are not recognised in the financial statements. 2.18 Operating lease agreements Rentals applicable to operaling leases where substantially all of Ihe benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 2.19 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make some judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. A key area of judgement in these financial statements is the recognition of legacy income, which requires judgement about whether the income is probable or not, and whether Weston Hospicecare holds entitlement to the monies. There is also estimation ur)certainty regarding the reliability of the amount to be received. Many of the Gifts in Wills in the pipeline will include properties or shares which are inherently uncertain in value as well as sometimes there being uncertainty regarding the amount of the estate to which Weston Hospicecare is entitled. The value of accrued income relating to Gifts in Wills has been estimated at £48k at 31st March 2025 12024 £90kl. There are also judgements made in determining whether provisions are required and at what value. A provision for dilapidation has been made either where a specific claim has been registered, or where a lease is due to end within the next three years and Weston Hospicecare 37
