Hospice in Moray Limited (Registered number: SC220153)
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objective of the charity is to promote the welfare and protect the health of patients. In furtherance thereof but not otherwise, the charity shall seek to support the work of both the professional and voluntary services in any way that is charitable law; to administer funds donated, bequeathed or otherwise received in their name for the welfare of patients of The Oaks; to encourage voluntary workers of The Oaks.
The company received funding and generated income during the year totalling £56,350 to meet expenditure of £30,349. in furtherance of its objectives. Expenditure included ongoing support costs of £8,994. The charity continued to review its financial arrangements to maximise interest generated.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
2025 has again been a very successful year for Friends of The Oaks with the board of directors, the staff and volunteers working well together for the benefit of the patients.
Hospice in Moray continues to receive donations, many in memory of a loved one and some as a thank you because the donor or a relative enjoyed their time at The Oaks. It is rewarding to get positive feedback like that. The board is also grateful to those people who make regular donations online to Hospice in Moray. This year the company, Amber River of Lossiemouth, chose Friends of The Oaks as its charity for 2025 helping to raise a considerable sum.
With regard to expenditure this year, the committee set the same budget as the previous year for the complementary therapies. Two new therapists have joined, each with their own set of skills and experience which can only enrich the quality of the service provided to patients. In addition, we support craft sessions and also exercise sessions, which were requested by the patients themselves. It has to be said that such sessions are set at a level to suit palliative care patients. Money was also added to the £16,000 raised by a former patient, which helped cover the cost of upgrading the therapists' room and the hair salon. Similarly, money was also given towards the cost of converting a second kitchen and store into a craft room, which is well used by the patients.
In August the committee held a coffee morning in Rothes which was well attended and is now becoming an annual event. Those members of the public who supported the coffee morning appreciated the team leader being there to explain what The Oaks offers men and women who are undergoing treatment for cancer, and some also took the opportunity to try some hand massage offered by two of the therapists.
Our Christmas cards have sold well in recent years but having found a new outlet it was suggested that we have a greater variety of cards for sale for next year. Having more variety of cards was a positive move, despite more people tending now to send Ecards due to the cost of postage, so we plan to continue this in the coming year.
Sapphire, the car Friends of The Oaks purchased for The Oaks in 2017, needs to be replaced, so the directors plan to get quotes for a replacement, both brand new and nearly new.
In March a meeting of the MIJB was held to discuss the financial situation of NHS Moray. One of the areas mentioned was the use of The Oaks. When told that a legal clause stipulates that The Oaks must be used as a palliative care facility, MIJB decided to have a report prepared on palliative care in Moray for September 2025. However, we still await the publishing of that report, which is very unsettling for the staff.
The committee has continued to enjoy a very positive working relationship with the staff and volunteers of The Oaks and on behalf of the board of directors I convey a sincere thanks for their input and support. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the committee members for their support and advice over the past year.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hospice in Moray Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
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.
