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 2010 Surrey Primary Care Trust continued to acknowledge the contribution that Hospice Home Support makes to healthcare in the community and provided a grant for the year of £22,118, an increase of £370. This represented 82% of our total income for the year of £26,965. This was significantly lower than last year's record of £32,099 which was due to two exceptional donations of more than £6,600. This year, our volunteers generously donated expenses of £3,830 (2009 - £1,496), 80% of the total donations received of £4,786. Although our income was reduced, it was decided to use our reserves from previous years to enable us to continue to meet the demands for our services. In order to do this, expenditure increased by 12% to £35,269. As a result, HHS made a deficit of £8,304 this year. At HHS we endeavour to have sufficient volunteers to visit patients when required. A training course was held which enabled us to increase the number of volunteers from 31 at 31 March 2009, to a high of 45 in the year. As a result of this increase in the number of volunteers, we made 1,003 visits to patients (2009 - 786) an increase of 28%, spending 2,875 hours with them. This increase in visits resulted in an increase in volunteers' expenses to £8,934 (23%). Supervision costs increased to £7,985 (2009 - £5,867) due to the higher number of volunteers being supported. This year, the number of referrals we received fell from 88 to 71. Of these only 49 (69%) were suitable for our services. As a result, the number of patients and their families that we supported fell to 88 from 101 in the previous year. 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 organisations that chose to support us.
