FOYLE HOSPICE TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of [reland" and the Charities SORP “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)".
Objectives and activities
The principal activities of the Foyle Hospice are the provision of palliative and end of life care for those patients who require it, as well as providing support for their families and carers. These services, free of any cost, are delivered through Foyle Hospice’s Community Team, Day Hospice and In-Patient Care services and support.
The aims and objectives of the charity are as set out in the objects contained in the company's Memorandum of Association as well as the new three-year Strategic Pian, with effect from April 2024 — March 2027. In fulfilling its objectives, Foyle Hospice provides the following services:
In-Patient Care
The In-Patient Unit currently comprises 9 beds and 1 self-contained apartments. Foyle Hospice supports families, friends and carers of patients to help them cope during their illness and in bereavement, in an attentive and nonintrusive way. Patients may be admitted for respite care or for pain and symptom control with a view to being discharged home. Patients are also admitted for specialist care and support in the terminal phase of their illness.
Community Palliative Care Nursing Team Foyle Hospice has a team of specialist nurses who visit patients in their homes across the whole of the Western Health and Social Care Trust area. The Community Palliative Care Nursing Team work closely with GP’s and District Nurses offering support and advice to ensure patients receive the best quality of care available. The specific needs of family and friends are also considered. A Speciality Doctor, supported by our medical team within Foyle Hospice and other professionals closely support these specialist nurses.
Day Therapy
Our Day Therapy Service operates three days per week and provides an opportunity for patient assessments, social activities and complementary therapies. It also enables a short respite break for those at home, who provide caring arrangements for an ill relative or friend.
Bereavement Support
This is an important element of hospice care and support available to relatives and friends of patients. The bereavement support sessions are facilitated by staff, supported by experienced volunteers and offer a safe, secure and comfortable environment for the users to express their feelings relating to their experience of death.
Healing Hearts is a specialist bereavement support service for young people aged 4 — 18 years and is led bya Children and Young Person's Facilitator, currently supported by our Children’s Counsellors.
Advice Foyle Hospice offers 24/7 Telephone Advice service, which is available at all times for advice to GPs, district nurses, hospital staff, health care professionals, relatives and other members of the public in matters relating to Palliative and End of Life Care.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I
Other Activities During the financial year, Foyle Hospice once again received addition non-recurrent funding from the Department of Health's Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) to support continued delivery of the Integrative Care Clinic three days per week. However, we have recently been advised that SPPG will no longer fund the delivery of this this service. We are looking at alternative opportunities and hope to identify options as to how we might best approach the delivery of a sustainable out patient service. SPPG has also provided funding to enable the delivery of a Compassionate Communities framework across Northern Ireland, which continues to focus on raising awareness and education about death, dying and bereavement within communities. Funding for this project has now been secured for three years, to the end of March 2028 and continues to build and develop strong relationships with agencies, organisations and groups across the entire region. Through the Department of Health's Cancer Charities Support Fund, administered by the Community Foundation Northern Ireland, Foyle Hospice has been able to deliver community services seven days per week, to include weekends and public holidays. Phase One has also included the provision of adult and children counselling services. As a result of additional funding from generous grant providers and our own funds, the counselling services have been extended to March 2026 and the community seven day service has been extended to July 2027. Further funding was approved for Foyle Hospice, through Phase Three of the Department of Health’s Cancer Charities Support Fund. This currently includes a Specialty Doctor to support the Community Team and Complementary Therapist services, which have also been extended until the end of October 2025. The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Public benefit The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. Volunteers Volunteers play a key role in all services at Foyle Hospice, particularly in the provision of vital support to the IPU, Day Hospice, Bereavement Support, Fundraising and Retail. Trustees volunteer their time freely to attend regular poard meetings, structured and ad hoc sub committees, as well as offering ongoing support fo the Senior Management Team and the organisation as a whole. A Volunteer Forum has also been established, offering a platform for volunteers across all key service areas to have a voice and provide an opportunity to feedback to improve and/or enhance respective service delivery.
Achievements and performance Significant activities and achievements against objectives The Board of Trustees are extremely pleased to have had yet another exceptionally positive inspection by RQIA in February 2025, with no areas of improvement or recommendations reported.
The current strategic plan focuses on enhanced services and support frameworks, so as to greater enable patients to remain at home. The review of Day Hospice services has been undertaken by SPPG and we hope that the outcome will result in closer working relationships with provision of services that are based on patient need. We hope to provide an optimum number of bed spaces at our Inpatient Unit, which are so desperately needed to support patients with more complex conditions. Foyle Hospice’s accounts for 2024/25 demonstrate a deficit of £46,225. However, the Board of Trustees are well aware of the long-term financial risks and uncertainty as we continue to navigate society that is significantly impacted by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and political instability.

FOYLE HOSPICE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 eee Financial review The Statement of Financial Activities indicates that the Hospice had incoming resources of £4,650,366 in the year. The expenditure for the year was £4,895,462. Which resulted in net expenditure of £245,096. Net gains on investments of £199,475 represent realised gains on sale of investments in the amount of £199,299 plus revaluation gains on investments to market value in the amount of £176. Additionally, sterling euro exchange adjustments resulted in losses of £604. All of these factors resulted in the Hospice reporting overall deficit for the 2024/25 financial year of £46,225. As such, the Hospice's accumulated funds decreased by this amount.
The Trustees were required to transfer an amount of £79,017 from unrestricted funds to restricted funds, which represents Foyle Hospice contribution towards the cost of providing services in the Southern Sector.
Trustees, along with the Finance and Audit Committee and Senior Management Team have continued to monitor our income and reserves, assessing the financial and operational risks to the charity, taking appropriate actions to mitigate the impact of any negative outcomes.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by Foyle Hospice should equate to approximately 12 months of unrestricted expenditure (approximately £4,200,000) to enable the charity to continue the current activities in the event of a significant drop in fundraising.
At 31 March 2025 the free reserves were £7,157,801 and as such the target has been achieved.
Additionally, £182,008 was received in respect of the Integrative Care Clinic and Compassionate Communities. A further £247,687 was received through the Cancer Charities Support Fund. Foyle Hospice was also awarded funding from St James Place Foundation for the Southern Sector totalling £40,000, with £30,000 apportioned to FY25 and £10,000 to FY26. Additionally, £60,000 of support was received from Gillan Family Trust in FY25.
Despite voluntary income performing much better than anticipated in year, there is a reported deficit which has resulted in a decrease in Foyle Hospice's free reserves at the reporting date. Trustees accept the projection of further deficits of income against expenditure for 2025/26 financial year, but have increased targets for voluntary income based on previous year’s performance. The organisation will continue to monitor income and expenditure during 2025/26 on a quarterly basis.
The assessment is based on the non-recurring nature of some funding support received during 2024/25 and the unpredictably of voluntary income such as legacies and donations, further compounded by the impact of the cost-ofliving crisis.
Therefore, the Trustees anticipate that the free reserves will be used to ensure we maintain appropriate levels of service provision during this period.
Investment policy
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. In the accounting year ended 31 March 2025 the Trustees continued with the management of their investment portfolio through Davy. Davy's aim is to ensure that selected securities are relatively safe and provide a reasonable yield. They do not currently chase high yield to the detriment of risk in the portfolio.
Major risks
The Govemance and Risk Committee works in collaboration with the Senior Management Team in relation to managing and mitigating against risk. A Risk Management Strategy is in place, alongside a Corporate Risk Register and Operational Risk Register, both of which are reviewed on a regular basis.
This Committee has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

FOYLE HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FOYLE HOSPICE a
Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Foyle Hospice (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
in our opinion, the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with international Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law, Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity'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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. lf, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit: - the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
- the directors’ report included within the trustees‘ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

FOYLE HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF FOYLE HOSPICE eee Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made: or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or - the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Extent to which 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 charitable company.
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and its operating environment, we determined that the most significant frameworks which have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements are those related to the reporting framework, (FRS 102, the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern ireland) 2015, the Charity SORP and the Companies Act 2006) of which non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements. Compliance with these laws and regulations was assessed as part of our procedures.
Other laws and regulations of which non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements, e.g. through fines or litigation, were identified as regulations in relation to employment law and provision of medical care services which are regulated by the RQIA. Our required procedures in these areas are limited to inquiry of trustees and other management and inspection of any regulatory or legal correspondence. These limited procedures did not identify any actual or suspected non-compliance.

FOYLE HOSPICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF FOYLE HOSPICE II Came We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, including evaluating management's incentives and opportunities to manage earings or influence the reported results. From the results of our assessment, we determined that the principal risks of fraud relate to posting inappropriate journal entries and use of charity funds for purposes outside of restrictions imposed py the donor. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
-
Audit response to risks identified As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: . We obtained an understanding of the charitable company’s internal control systems 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 charitable company’s intemal control.
-
. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with relevant laws and regulations, including those as a result of its registration with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and charitable status with HM Revenue & Customs , by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance.
-
. Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
» Enquiry of entity staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. - Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud
-
« Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance + Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
. We test the completeness of income to address the risk of fraud in revenue recognition. » Auditing 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 that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
-
« Auditing the risk of use of charity funds outside of restrictions imposed by the donor by review of funding letters of offer to identify restrictions, and review of funding claims prepared by management to check compliance with restrictions.
We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment through collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: htips:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Charity information Foyle Hospice is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office is 61 Culmore Road, Derry, BT48 8JE. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for _[Northern][Ireland][with][effect][ from][12][December][2014.]
1.1. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” and the Charities SORP “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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2. Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3. Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. In addition, funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose which would otherwise form part of the generai reserve of the charity.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised at the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted; the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) that a distribution will be made; or whena distribution is received from the estate.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general time given by volunteers is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' Report for more information about volunteers contribution.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.

- 1.10 Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors 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 the 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basie financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
- 1.11 Taxation The company is a charity and is recognised as such by HM Revenue & Customs under the charity tax reference XN76407. The company also qualifies for charitable tax exemptions with the Office of the Revenue Commissioner RO! Charities Section. As a result, there is no liability to taxation on any of its income.
1.12 Employee benefits
- The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fail due.
1.14 Foreign exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange prevailing at the accounting date. Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the date of the transaction and all differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised 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.
