Objectives and activities

The Trust continues to support the advancement of medical knowledge. The Trustees are senior employees of the National Health Service who provide their services on a voluntary basis. The services are provided within the hospital premises at Nottingham University Hospital. There is no cost for use of the premises.

The Trust Fund has received donations from patients and relatives of patients of the Adult Intensive Care Unit. No major changes have occurred in the activities in the year under review and none are envisaged in the near future.

Public Benefit

The Nottingham University Hospital Adult Intensive Care Trust Fund provides benefits to all persons requiring the Intensive Care Services of the Nottingham University Hospitals by providing a range of support, equipment and training services to Intensive Care personnel.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and performance

All training activities have been severely affected by the continuing Covid 19 pandemic. This year there have been no intensive care training courses organised by the Trust Fund. Expenditure has been made for the provision of specialist training for members of the Nottingham University Hospital staff.

The Nottingham University Hospital Intensive Care Unit simulation training suite is now operational. This is fully supported by the Trust Fund but no major costs have been incurred in the year.

Financial review

The financial development of the Trust Fund is disclosed in the annexed financial statements.

Reserves policy

Medical equipment for Intensive Care purposes is extremely expensive and is continually being improved. The Trustees consider that reserves should be maintained to enable the Trust Fund to purchase essential items of medical equipment when needed and at their discretion.

The Trust Fund has supported the new simulation training suite at the Queens Medical Centre. Funds will be made available when required to support the suite with both additional equipment and training costs. Donations

The Charity does not receive any grants or funding other than donations to aid development and continuation of its activities.

Through the efforts of several well wishers, cash donations have continued to be received.

Review of major risks

Due to the nature of the Charity there are no major risks.

Any equipment purchased by the Trustees is used in the Nottingham University Hospital Intensive Care Unit and maintenance is provided by the National Health Service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Nottingham Adult Intensive Care Trust Fund is an unincorporated charity, established in England and Wales with charity number 1019229. The business address is University Hospital, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, NG7 2UH.

1.1 Incoming resources

Voluntary income of any description including cash donations, gifts and legacies are included in full in the income and expenditure account as soon as they are received.

Where donations are received for specific equipment or with recommendations that they are spent on capital equipment, such donations are included in the income and expenditure account as soon as they are received. Related expenditure will be included as additions to fixed assets at the later time when the equipment is purchased. Certain donations are from time to time received with instructions to purchase medical equipment. Any such equipment is purchased as soon as possible after the donation is received.

Other income including Research Fees, Contributions and Income from Lectures, Conferences etc. is included when due. Any costs incurred for these are included in the income and expenditure account for the year when such income is receivable.

There are no financial funds set aside for specific or restricted uses, other than that set out in the reserve policy.

Investment Income

Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account when received.

1.2 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

All other expenditure, including administrative expenses are included in the accounts as the expenditure is incurred.

Where appropriate the payments include Value Added Tax.

No account has been taken of the value of any voluntary help or support.

Capital expenditure

The Trustees have no authorised capital expenditure projects outstanding at the year end.
