“

Once again, the financial year ending in March 2022 was not as we may have expected. However, despite challenges, we managed to exceed our previous year’s income by over £300,000. Our increase in income is many thanks to generous supporters leaving gifts in wills as well as grants from NHS Charities Together. Thanks to these donations we have funded incredible projects to benefit patients and continued to provide ‘boosts’ for staff. One of the things that makes me most proud to be part of the charity is that we fund projects for every stage of life, during those crucial first days of life, through the tough times and then later on in life. This is only possible thanks to our supporters, thank you so much.

Message from the Chair

It is heart-warming to read the stories which often accompany donations, and hear the thanks that patients and families wish to pass onto staff. Without you, none of our work is possible.

I am delighted to introduce to you the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements for Portsmouth Hospitals Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.

I think we can all acknowledge that 2021/22 didn’t see the return to ‘normal’ that we had all expected and hoped for. Ongoing restrictions and uncertainty made planning fundraising activities difficult. However, despite this, the income received by the Charity was £1,225,000, an increase of over £300,000 on the previous year. I’d like to personally thank NHS Charities Together for their ongoing support and also to those people who are sadly no longer with us but wanted to leave a generous legacy to the Charity. These gifts continue to make a difference to the organisation.

One such legacy has supported the Charity to bring in an activities coordinator for Older Peoples Medicine. This role has been excellent in enhancing the level of care the Trust can provide

for patients, particularly those suffering with dementia. This extra socialisation is valued not just by the patient, but also by their families who know their loved one is receiving extra care. You can read more about this role on page 10. The Charity has also continued to fund equipment purchases for the hospital to enhance care. One such example is a Thera-trainer bike. This is a specialist bike used to build the strength and cardiovascular fitness of our patients in the cancer care inpatient ward.

Last year we were also pleased to be the beneficiary of a grant to continue to support our patients when they return home from the hospital. By working with our colleagues in the Red Cross, we were able to refer vulnerable patients to their ‘settling at home project’. This project supports patients transition back into the

community, aiming to support their physical and mental independence following a stay in hospital. We were also delighted to fund items for a new chemotherapy unit at Fareham Community Hospital which opened in May 2022. You can read more about this work in the community on page 16.

As we plan for the future, I was very excited to finally reopen the Charity shop in its new home on C-level within Queen Alexandra Hospital. The Charity also held its first large face-to-face fundraising event in over two years in May, raising funds across the hospital. I look forward to many more events in the coming year!

Finally, I wanted to say thank you again to all of those who have supported the Charity over this

time. It is heart-warming to read the stories which often accompany donations, and hear the thanks that patients and families wish to pass onto staff. Without you, none of our work is possible.

With best wishes as always,

Melloney Poole OBE

Trustees Annual Report

Foreword

Welcome to the Annual Report and Accounts for Portsmouth Hospitals Charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. The Accounts have been prepared by the Trustee in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the Accounts and comply with applicable law including the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS102).

Portsmouth Hospitals Charity aims to support the vision of the Trust. The Charity does this by raising charitable funds to enable the purchase of additional equipment and facilities. In providing charitable grants to the Trust and partners, the Charity plays an integral part in providing extra funding for equipment and facilities, research and innovation, the development of services and education for patients and staff – all enabling excellence in care provision for the patient and communities served by the Trust.

Key Objectives

The Trustee has five key objectives for the management of the Charity towards achieving its aims:

1. Stewardship of Charitable Funds

This includes ensuring sound governance and financial management of the Charity. Annual accounts should be returned to the Charity Commission on time and receive an unqualified audit report. Investment performance should be regularly reviewed and charity reserves should be appropriate to the level of annual expenditure. All expenditure by the Charity should support the aims of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and its partners.

Outcome: Objective achieved as we continued to strengthen existing processes and procedures, such as requiring divisional director oversight of all bids over £5,000. Annual accounts filed in a timely manner once audited and expenditure and reserves reviewed. All expenditure supports the aims of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.

2. Provision of additional facilities and equipment

The Charity aims to commit at least 50% of total annual income towards this objective

Outcome: In this year, 40% of total annual income was spent on the provision of facilities and equipment. Charitable expenditure in the year was slower than other years due to the pressure on staff and ability to deliver on charitable spend. However, towards the end of the year the number and value of applications had increased, to be reflected in 2022/23 figures.

4. Assisting Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust with its planned developments

3. Support and encouragement of research and innovation

The Charity aims to commit at least 5% of total annual income towards research and service development expenditure.

In addition to engaging with the Trust to develop a shared case for support, the Charity will commit its unallocated reserves to support any developments, where appropriate.

Outcome: This objective was not developments, where appropriate. achieved as no funds were spent on research. This is partly due Outcome: The Charity continues to restrictions and challenges in to work with the Trust to support setting up face to face research developments. At present, with patients. All of the research unallocated reserves help to fund funds have been contacted Trust wide activities such as the regarding spending plans for the Pride of Portsmouth Awards, our next year to increase our research Radio Licence and hospital WiFi. spend. The Charity is also now using part of the unallocated reserves to fund the core costs and development of the Charity in order to spend effectively and fundraise into the future.

5. Maximising the Charity’s fundraising potential

Funds are held for any charitable fund purpose or purposes relating to the services provided by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.

The Charity will invest in fundraising to proactively seek new income and set realistic fundraising targets.

Outcome: Despite the challenges of COVID-19, this objective was achieved by maximising on grant income opportunities via NHS Charities Together. We increased our unrestricted income and invested in a new online donation platform to make it easier to give to the charity.

Your support in action – enhancing patient care and supporting staff wellbeing

Throughout 2021-22, your generous donations allowed us to fund a wide range of projects that enhance patient care and support staff wellbeing across the Trust.

Thera-trainer bike

Meet Emma

“I receive very postitive feedback from patients, and most say it’s been lovely having someone to chat to. I help to lift their mood and improve their confidence, especially with activities they thought they could no longer do.

“Since using it, my mobility has improved, and I am feeling much stronger”

Emma started her role as activities coordinator in Older Peoples Medicine in the summer of 2021, thanks to a generous legacy donation into the charity.

The words of a patient who has seen the benefits from using a new Thera Trainer Bike at QA Hospital.

She supports patients with dementia through therapeutic engagement and meaningful activities that benefit both the body and mind. Activities typically include gardening, card making and painting stones, depending on the patients interests.

“For the relatives of patients that I have spoken to, they have been very thankful knowing their loved ones are getting extra socialisation.” - Emma

This inclusive specialist exercise bike allows majority of patients on the cancer care inpatient unit to build on their strength and cardiovascular fitness.

It can be used from all types of seating including specialist seating, wheelchairs, and standard armchairs.

Christmas presents

Seasonal treats for staff

Being in Hospital can be difficult at any time, but especially at Christmas. With the help of your donations towards our Christmas appeal we were able to turn Christmas into a positive experience for our patients.

On a hot day in summer 2021, we helped staff to cool down by funding an ice-cream van to be on site at Queen Alexandra Hospital.

Rosie Chilvers spent Christmas day in hospital with her son, Harry.

She said: “Although it wasn’t exactly the first Christmas we had planned for Harry and our family by being in hospital, it was made much more bearable by waking up on Christmas morning to see the incredibly thoughtful gift from the Portsmouth Hospitals Charity Christmas appeal.”

The overwhelming positive response from staff encouraged us to follow suit in the winter months by funding a hot chocolate van.

The appeal was created with the hope that all inpatients would wake up to a present on Christmas day.

One staff member tweeted: “Delicious surprise hot chocolate this morning. Thank you so much to Portsmouth Hospitals Charity and the Really Awesome Coffee team - just what was needed on a freezing December morning!”

With over £4,000 raised for the appeal, we were able to give patients at QA Hospital a small gift bag which included a card, toiletry set and a piece of cake.

There for you at every stage of life

Your first days

Based in our Neonatal Intensive Care unit, Fabian machines are superior in delivering continuous positive airway pressure to premature babies and reduce the risk of them developing chronic lung disease. It also helps make the baby become more accessible to the parent and enables bonding with their child. We were grateful recipients of a donation from Ickle Pickles to provide the team with an additional machine.

Through the tough times

Frozen gloves and slippers that have been proven to reduce the side effects for those receiving Taxol chemotherapy, are now being offered to patients with ovarian cancer at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.

Patients receiving Taxol chemotherapy can experience irreversible side effects of numbness in their hands and feet. This can make everyday tasks such as doing up buttons, finding change and playing musical instruments difficult. Feedback from patients suggests that the feet are more problematic as it can feel like they’re walking on uneven ground, affecting their balance.

Protecting you in your later years

For vulnerable patients in hospital, a fall could be fatal. To reduce those risks, we funded 100 pairs of slippers for patients to use in hospital, or to protect them back in their own home.

“Being able to give appropriate footwear to patients who need it can enable them to keep moving and help prevent falls. Deconditioning and falls can be life changing for some patients, so being able to provide good footwear is a fantastic way of helping to keep some of our most vulnerable patients safe and well.” - Hayley, Senior Physiotherapist.

Generous donations and fundraising events have allowed the department to purchase 22 pairs of gloves and slippers.

Previously, patients have had the option of purchasing these privately, but they can often un-freeze by the time they arrive at the hospital.

“

I used cold socks during recent treatment to prevent further damage to the nerves in my feet from previous chemotherapy. Doing so has helped me to continue to do the things I love, such as walks in the countryside, gardening and driving. It’s wonderful that many other people can now be helped to avoid the worst effects of treatment on the nerves of their hands and feet.

Inside QA
Hospital..
A visit to our Emergency Department can be a daunting
experience for anyone, but especially for our younger
patients. To help with this, we fund a range of items that
make hospital, feel less like a hospital.
Sensory items play a big part in creating a calming
environment for children and previous items have proven to
be very popular amongst patients and their families. This year
we added more sensory items by funding a new portable
projector.
The projector helps to calm children, and their parents, in
what may be a stressful situation. The portable element
allows it to be accessible for more children, especially those
who are non-mobile, as it can be placed next to their bed.

In Critical Care

Thanks to a generous donation made in memory of a loved one that passed away, lightboxes have been installed on walls and ceilings around the Intensive Care Unit. This helps to offer a calm and relaxing environment for patients, their families and the staff.

“

Some patients are awake when they arrive on the Intensive Care Unit and lying on your bed knowing you are going to Intensive Care can be a very scary time. Now, instead of staring at grey ceiling tiles as they come down the clinical corridor, patients see images of the sky, clouds and blossom above them. This helps to create a calming corridor as they arrive. We have also placed picture light boxes in other places around the Intensive Care Unit. Each showing a beautiful or interesting scene which will calm and distract patients and visitors. Taking them to places such a woodland, a field of lavender or even the Spinnaker tower.

Settling at home scheme

May 2022 saw a new chemotherapy unit opening at Fareham Community Hospital.

In partnership with the British Red Cross, we’re proud to have commenced our ‘settling at home’ scheme in 2021.

With the demand on cancer services growing year on year and more patients needing treatment at Queen Alexandra Hospital, the new ten-station unit will help ease those pressures by offering additional capacity.

The scheme supports patients in their transition from hospital to their homes and communities following discharge. The service previously existed for the residents of Portsmouth but thanks to funding from NHS Charities Together, via Southampton Hospitals Charity, we are able to expand to patients across Fareham, Gosport, Hayling Island and Waterlooville.

We’re proud to have supported the project by funding various enhancements across the unit. Over £27,000 worth of items, including reclining chairs, a blood fridge and artwork were purchased to transform the unit into a modern, welcoming environment.

The core purpose of the service is to support reenablement back into the community, prevent social isolation and reduce re-admissions into hospital. It also aims to help patients regain physical and mental independence following a stay in hospital, helping put support mechanisms and resilience in place.

Maria Pittman, senior sister in cancer services, said: “I just wanted to say a big thank you for the donations we have received to allow us to buy some of the extra equipment that will help us to go above and beyond for our patients. They will make a big difference, thank you.”

None of the charitable funds administered by the Charity have governing documents which specifically bind the Trustee to particular investment powers. The funds are therefore administered within the powers of the Trustee Investment Act 1961, updated by the Trustee Act 2000. The Trustee received an approved pooling scheme for investments from the Charity Commission sealed by order on the 17th March 1998.

Reserves and Investments

The Reserves has the objective of retaining sufficient funds to cover the known commitments and future plans of the Charity. The Trustee has established a Reserves and Investment Policy to achieve its aim of supporting a healthy future by assisting the long-term future of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust by supporting research, education, new equipment, staff and patient benefits and environmental improvements.

The pooling scheme has been registered as a subsidiary of the main charity. The common investment fund has been named ‘Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (Expendable Funds) Common Investment Fund’ by the Charity Commission.

The Trustee encourages funds to be spent within a short to medium term.

The Charity seeks to invest ethically and ensure that its investments are not opposed to the objects of the Charity. Therefore, the investment policy eschews, as much as practicable, investments in tobacco and alcohol related holdings.

A reserve equal to £1 million should be held to provide continuity for achievement of Charity objectives in the event of income fluctuations. The current level of reserves is £3,288,000, which is an increase of £569,000 from 2020/21. The increase was attributable to fund holders facing ongoing challenges in the hospital slowing down charitable fund requests. Requests did pick up later in the financial year with bids approved for expenditure in 2022/23.

Funds are held in the Business reserve account and a 31-day notice savings account. Interest rates have dropped over the last 12 months but increased in March 2022.

The investment policy links to the reserves policy by requiring all commitments to be backed by cash or near-cash holdings. The objectives of the investment policy are to:

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust has no authority over the Investments which the Charity holds. The Charity Board of Trustees terms of reference has been updated to reflect this fact.

The Charity holds investments with Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF). At 31st March 2022 the investments are summarised as:

Investments 2021/22 2020/21

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Risk Management

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and are considered on a regular basis by the Charity Board of Trustees. Key risks include the ongoing ability to raise funds through our more traditional channels, the impact of the cost of living crisis and a potential fall in the value of investments.

A three-year Strategy was approved in 2021 to actively mitigate these risks. This strategy focuses on raising the awareness of the Charity both internally and externally with a push to diversify our income streams, particularly from within our local community.

Charitable expenditure in the year 2021/22 was lower than in previous years. In order to demonstrate the difference donations can make there is a deliberate focus on increasing charitable expenditure in 2022/23. In addition to this the Charity Board of Trustees have also agreed to invest an additional £500,000 of our reserves in 2022/23, while we work to spend down the remainder. Our current investments are low risk.

In addition to the risks to income the Charity Board of Trustees have paid attention to the risk of fraudulent fundraising activities. The Charity team remain vigilant to reports of fundraising taking place under the name of the Charity. Any person or organisation who the Charity are aware is fundraising on behalf of the Charity must sign a fundraising agreement form which is obtained from the Charity Office.

Procedures are in place to ensure that financial commitments remain affordable within the fund balance. Income and expenditure are covered by the Trusts standing financial instructions and there is recognition criteria in place for the receipt of donations.

Expenditure thresholds are in place, as per the scheme of delegation. All expenditure must be authorised by one authorised signatory of the fund, then checked and verified by the Charitable Fund Accountant. The monthly Charity Assurance Committee gives approval for expenditure between £5,000 and £50,000. Any expenditure falling into this threshold also now requires divisional director approval. This must then be authorised by the Chief Financial Officer. Each month the Charity Assurance Committee also receives an overview of all charitable expenditure, as well as any bids exceeding £50,000 which must be authorised by the Charity Board of Trustees. In addition to this the Charity also ensures any bid over £100,000 is considered by the Trusts Business Case Review Committee prior to consideration by the Charity Board. Any non-charitable purchases are charged back to the appropriate NHS budget.

specific procedures are in place, which all members of the organisation are obligated to follow.

Our Future Plans

The aims and objectives for the next twelve months are to continue to work to deliver on our three-year strategy. The strategy is framed around five key workstreams:

In addition to the workstreams, three key priority areas have been identified for 2022/23 as follows:

Our charitable expenditure will continue to be determined by the equipping needs of the hospital and may include the following areas of spend:

Based on the Accounts for the financial year the Trust Board, on behalf of the Sole Corporate Trustee, believes that the Umbrella Charity and its linked Special Purpose Charities can meet all their current and future foreseeable commitments.

Independent Auditors Report to the Trustee of Portsmouth Hospitals Charity

Opinion

Other information

We have audited the financial statements of Portsmouth Hospitals Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes 1 to 20, including as summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”.

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained in the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact.

In our opinion the financial statements:

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Basis for opinion

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report below. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Responsibilities of trustees

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 25, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period to 31 March 2024. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the trustee’s ability to continue as a going concern.

this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures had a focus on compliance with the accounting framework through obtaining sufficient audit evidence in line with the level of risk identified and with relevant legislation.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

• We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by understanding the potential incentives and pressures for management to manipulate the financial statements, and performed procedures to understand the areas in which this would most likely arise.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

reference to supporting evidence of the donor’s intention and any conditions attached to the funding.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

We understood how Portsmouth Hospitals Charity is complying with those frameworks by understanding the incentive, opportunities and motives for non-compliance, including enquiring of management and those charged with governance and obtaining and reading documentation relating to the procedures in place to identify, evaluate and comply with laws and regulations, and whether they are aware of instances of non-compliance. We corroborated this through our reading of the Charity’s committee minutes. Based on

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

b) Funds structure

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain investments, and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which the fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. The Portsmouth Hospitals Charity does not have any endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds are available for application at the discretion of the trustee in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Charity. The Trustee may earmark an element of the unrestricted funds for a particular project and these are identified as designated funds. This designation does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund.

The Trustee considered that there are no material uncertainties about the Portsmouth Hospitals Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern given the levels of reserves and the performance of previous years. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts. The going concern assessment is made for the period up to 31st March 2024.

(c) Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income is recognised as follows:

• Donations: These are accounted for when received. Online donations are accounted for once they have been confirmed.

• Grants: Where there are terms or conditions attached to

income, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.

• Legacies: These are accounted for when received or where the

receipt of the legacy is probable. Receipt is probable when:

• Gifts in kind: Donated goods, facilities and services (including Volunteers) are recognised as income when the following criteria are met:

• Activities for generating funds: These are activities carried out by the Charity to generate income which will be used to undertake its charitable activities. These are not part of the direct charitable activities but are carried out in order to generate income to support those activities.

(d) Recognition of expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure, which is probable and measurable. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to this category.

• Raising funds:

The costs of raising funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust. This includes the cost of the fundraising staff and purchases of goods to sell at a profit and investment management fees.

• Charitable Activities:

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objectives of the Charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to direct costs.

• Grants Payable:

These are payments made to third parties, including NHS bodies, in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives to relieve those who are sick. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.

• Support costs:

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include support staff, cost of administration, internal and external audit costs. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis, the analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment applied are shown in note 3d.

• Irrecoverable VAT:

Non-exempt and irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred

(e) Fixed Asset Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

Notes to the Accounts - continued

(f) Realised gains and losses

(j) Creditors

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investment are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or the value at date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value (or value at date of purchase if later).

Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.

(k) Change in basis of accounting

There has been no change in the basis of accounting during the year.

(l) Prior year adjustments

(g) Stocks

The Charity’s stock comprises of new goods sold in the shop, which include cakes, jams, shopping bags, and trolley coins. The stock is valued on a first in first out (FIFO) basis.

There have been no changes to the accounts of prior years.

(m) Pooling scheme

An official pooling scheme is operated for investments relating to the Portsmouth Hospitals Charity. The scheme is named Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (Expendable Funds) Common Investment Fund. Distribution of income is made annually and reflects the individual funds interest in the pool. The scheme was registered with the Charity Commission on 17th March 1998.

(h) Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Short term investments would be shown on the face of the balance sheet. As these are very liquid funds they are classified as cash equivalents and would be shown as part of cash and cash equivalents.

It is expected that the fund holders manage these funds in accordance with the Standing Financial Instructions, Standing Orders, Charitable Funds Code of Procedures and Scheme of Delegation as set by the Corporate Trustee.

There have been no material changes to these policies and procedures this year.

The objectives of the Umbrella charity (the Charity) and its Special Purpose/ Speciality Charities are as follows: General Charitable Fund (Umbrella Charity) Funds are held for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service. Specialty Charities

Funds are held for any charitable purpose relating to the specialty services provided by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.

An additional donation has been added this year for the purpose of purchasing equipment, this is intended to be spent in 2022/2023.

Activities

Portsmouth Hospitals Charity ensures that all activities carried out to raise funds are in line with the Fundraising Regulator and Codes of Practice and the Charity’s internal processes and policies. The Team are aware of donor’s wishes ensuring that these are honoured and communicated with the donor. In the year 2021/22 we received no complaints. The Fundraising Team have mandatory training each year on safeguarding for vulnerable adults and this is then integrated into supporting vulnerable donors to ensure they are protected.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm they have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity have undertaken during the year and have continued to support a wide range of charitable activities. These include charitable grant funding for the Trust and fundraising across a number of platforms to raise more funds.

In awarding grants the Trustee is aware of its responsibilities under charity law in ensuring the maintenance of public benefit in all aspects of its work. Funding patient and staff welfare, improvements and amenities is, by definition, meeting public benefit.

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust is the main beneficiary of the Charity and is a related party by virtue of being the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. However, when the Trust Board is making decisions regarding the Charity it does so with the best interests of the Charity in mind and with consideration of Charity Commission guidance, Charity law and the expressed wishes of donors.

By working in partnership with the Trust, charitable funds are used to best effect for the benefit of patients and staff. When deciding upon the most beneficial way to use funds, the Corporate Trustee has regard to the main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of the Trust.
