Serving Aldershot, Camberley, Farnborough, Farnham, Fleet,  Frimley, Godalming, Guildford, Lightwater and Yateley England in affiliation with the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. Treasurer’s Report 31 March 2009 Surrey Primary Care Trust continues to be our principal source of funding and this year increased our grant by £364 to £21,748. This represented 68% of our total income for the year. Donations received of £8,850 were more than double last years figure of £3,831 and the highest received since 1999. This included £4,400 from a local company, Fluor Ltd, that chose HHS as their charity for last year and also more than £2,000 from an employee of Centrica plc who nominated HHS as the recipient of the company’s monthly employee lottery, which he had won. As a result, our total income increased by 19% to £32,099 and despite total expenditure rising by 34% to £31,399 HHS made a surplus of £700 this year. Following a successful publicity campaign, we held our best attended training course from February to April 2009, with 15 of the 19 trainees being accepted as volunteers at the end of the course. These accounts include training costs of £2,957 relating to that course which represents an increase of 17% over last year. A large training course also had an impact on other costs, in particular administration time which is included in secretarial costs of £4,047 (an increase of 40%) and office expenses which have risen by 55% to £1,984. The ongoing support of our volunteers is of great importance and the cost of this supervision increased from £4,768 to £5,867. The area organisers are paid a small honorarium in recognition of their work. This amount had remained unchanged since the inception of HHS and this year it was decided to significantly increase the amount paid to each of them. The total honoraria paid this year was £6,300 (last year £3,000) and is included in the area organisers costs of £7,337. This accounts for the majority of the 23% increase in their costs, the remainder being due to an increase in their expenses as a result of seeing more referrals this year, a rise from 79 to 88. Of those referrals, the number of patients accepted rose from 53 (67% take up) to 62 (70%). The following statistics show our continued service to the community. We are very grateful to Surrey Primary Care Trust for their continued support, to our volunteers who, in addition to their time, also made donations, and finally, to the individuals and the organisations that chose to support us, in particular Fluor Ltd.
