Going concern

Affirmed

“Birmingham Hospice Directors/Trustees have prepared the charity accounts on a going concern basis because assurance has been gained from the main NHS funder that their contract to procure services from the hospice will run until 31 March 2026 at the earliest. There is no fundamental uncertainty about the charity's ability to pay debts as they fall due for at least a year after the financial statements have been signed.”

Significant events

• “This has been a year of both profound challenge and deeply inspirational. Like many hospices across the UK, we have faced significant financial pressures.”
• “At the beginning of the year, we set a planned deficit budget of £2.4 million. In response, we launched an organisational redesign programme to safeguard our future and ensure we can continue providing expert care to those who need us most.”
• “While no services were withdrawn, we made the difficult decision to reduce our inpatient bed capacity.”
• “To protect the quality and reach of our services for the long term, we are launching a three-year transformational plan.”
• “Following a successful fundraising campaign during 2024/2025, and the receipt of Hospice UK funds, our Erdington site has transitioned to single-occupancy rooms with ensuite facilities.”
• “The past 12 months have been incredibly challenging financially for Birmingham Hospice, as well as for hospices across the UK. Rising costs and the ongoing impact of the cost-of-living crisis have significantly affected the number of people able to support us, placing increased pressure on our services and our ability to raise the income we need. In response to this, in May 2024, the Communications and Marketing Team, in collaboration with the Fundraising Team, launched a crisis fundraising appeal...”
• “Alongside this, we launched two new income-generating initiatives: a face-to-face regular giving canvassing campaign to build long-term supporter income, and the Bulls in the City art trail a major new fundraising and awareness event for summer 2025.”
• “Doocey Group once again chose Birmingham Hospice as charity of the year for their annual golf event raising an incredible £55k.”
• “Included within the wages and salaries are staff termination costs of £582,040 (12 months ended 2024 - £153,774)”
