So our proposition focuses not on care but on Whilst we will continue to support patients who experience, as that is what patients and families wish to give to designated service area feel can improve and can be inspired to help charitable funds, our aim is to inspire fund. prospective and existing donors to give to this unrestricted fund, allowing us to use the money To support this new approach, we've developed raised strategically where there is the greatest a staff-facing booklet.

The idea behind the new proposition is to make a direct link between a donation and an improved experience for patients.

This alongside merging former charitable funds to be more service specific was rolled out organisation wide in April 2023 to coincide with the start of the new financial year. The charity has no access to patient data and does not make any direct request of ESNEFT patients for donations. Protecting vulnerable individuals Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity carries out its own fundraising activities, which are mainly donations and sponsorship from events driven. Volunteers operating on behalf of the charity are DBS checked when working within the hospital. Ad-hoc volunteers working off-site at events accompanied by charity staff are not required to be DBS checked. During 2023124, the charity continued to use the services of St Helena Hospice to run the 'Make a Smile, lottery. No complaints were received by the Fundraising Regulator or Charity Commission with regard to the charity during the period. During 2024125 we will continue to develop new impact reports and management reports using this information base. In line with the Fundraising Regulator Code of Practice. the charity continues to have its own fundraising promise, complaints procedure and safeguarding policy. Environmental scanning The charity continues to be a member of NHS Charities Together. This organisation is solely for NHS charitable organisations and helps keep the charity informed and fully updated on current and developing issues in relation to NHS charitable funds. The charity does not undertake door to door fundraising activities and limits direct marketing. The charity recognises that many of their supporters are elderly patients or their families and some could therefore be vulnerable. Where it is brought to the attention of staff that a supporter may be a vulnerable individual, confirmation is sought from the safeguarding team as to their capacity to give. Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity is staying alert to legislative change. The charity is voluntarily registered with the Fundraising Regulator, demonstrating our full commitment to best practice in the sector. 17 strategic report Exciting plans ahead We have worked alongside our colleagues at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust to identify key priority patient improvement projects for the coming year including: transforming the experience for young patients and their families.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a'true and fair, view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a'true and fair view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from l April 2015 which has since been withdrawn.

The Fund is constituted by a Trust Deed and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 1.2 Funds structure Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. The capital of the funds may be spent at the discretion of the Corporate Trustee for the purposes stipulated by the donor. Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the Corporate Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds. where the donor has made known their non-binding wishes or where the Corporate Trustee. at their discretion. have created a fund for a specific purpose. The split of funds held in each of these categories is disclosed in note 17. 1.3 Income All income is recognised once the fund has entitlement to the income and it is probable that the income will be received and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability. 31 Financial statements Notes to the accounts Where there are terms or conditions attached to income. particularly grants. then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be met until that point. 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. 1.4 Legacies Legacies are recognised once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled and when the executors have determined that a payment can be made following the agreement of the estate's accounts. or on notification by the executors that a payment will be made. Legacies are not recognised where a will is in dispute or where it is judged that there is insufficient certainty as to the value that will be received. 1.5 Investments Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs. and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Investment income is apportioned to the individual funds in proportion to the average fund balance over the quarter the income relates to. 1.6 Expenditure All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. whereby all expenditure approved within the reporting period is accounted for without regard to the payment date. It is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to expenditure. Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods or services are supplied. 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 apportioned across funds based on their month end balance. 1.7 Irrecoverable VAT Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred. 1.8 Raising funds The cost of fundraising is allocated to the funds of the Charity based on the amount of income each fund generates. 1.9 Charitable activities Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objectives of the fund. 32 ## Notes to the accounts - 1.10 Governance costs Governance costs comprise all the costs incurred in the governance of the Charity. These costs include the preparation and audit of the statutory accounts. These are apportioned quarterly between the funds based on each closing fund balance of the previous quarter. - 1.11 Stock Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is purchase costs, less the estimated selling price. - 1.12 Debtors Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount. - 1.13. Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day-to-day running costs of the Charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highly-liquid investments, usually in 90 day notice interest bearing saving accounts. ## 1.14 Creditors - Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt. - 1.15 Taxation The charity is exempt from corporation tax on charitable activities. ## 1.16 Financial Instruments The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 1] ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle ona net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 33 ## Financial ## stat ## t ## Notes to the accounts Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## 2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## 3 Related party transactions East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust is the sole Corporate Trustee of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds (also known as Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity).
