(UK) (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04281689)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024


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 30 September 2024. 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 company is a registered charity and exists to provide a hospice service to persons suffering from a terminal illness, the advancement of public education in the methods and policies relating to death and bereavement, the relief of sickness in particular through the provision of a counselling service, the promotion of research into medical, psychological and related aspects of dying and bereavement and the publication of the useful results of that research.

Island Hospice and Bereavement Service (UK) works closely with Island Hospice and Healthcare, Zimbabwe in pursuit of its charitable objectives and, at the request of certain donors to Island Hospice and Healthcare, Zimbabwe, facilitates the transfer of funds through its bank accounts to Zimbabwe on behalf of such donors.

Significant activities
Incoming resources for the year amounted to £145,002 (2023: £103,343).

During the year grants of £99,909 (2023: £96,067) were made to Island Hospice and Healthcare, Zimbabwe.

The trustees will continue to facilitate fundraising efforts for the hospice and healthcare movement.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Sufficient cash reserves are needed in the general fund to enable the charity to continue the furtherance of its objectives. At the year end cash reserves amounted to £88,456 (2023: £50,271). It is felt that these funds are sufficient to meet the liabilities and ongoing commitments of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Under those Articles.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Trustees are elected at the AGM. At the first AGM all of the Trustees retired and at every subsequent AGM one third of the trustees are required to retire by rotation.

Decision making
The charity is managed by its trustees who meet regularly to plan future strategies and agree grants to be made.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
ISLAND HOSPICE AND BEREAVEMENT SERVICE
(UK)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Island Hospice and Bereavement Service (UK) ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2024.

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:

1. 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
3. 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
4. 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.
