Foreword from the Chair
Welcome to the Royal Papworth Charity Annual Report and Accounts, where you can read about the impact your kind and generous donations have made to Royal Papworth Hospital patients and their loved ones alongside staff and volunteers. Donations that have had a transformative impact on enabling tomorrow’s medicine, today.
In my role as Chair, I continue to witness and admire the steadfast dedication of our Charity supporters. And with this in mind, I am proud to announce that you have helped us raise £1.7m this year, allowing us to award 283 grants to Royal Papworth Hospital. What a fabulous achievement! My grateful thanks to you all.
These grants support our 2022 -2027 strategic aims of staff education, prioritising our patients, investing in innovation and addressing the needs of the hospital.
We are supporting the Chief Nurse Fellowship programme, by funding the interns’ back fill of one day per week for the year. The successful applicants will develop clinical leadership, lead specific projects and develop research and quality improvement skills. The Patient Support Fund funded 320 nights of local accommodation to enable family members of patients to be by their loved one’s side in their time of need.
The Annual Report has further details on how we spend the money you help us raise, highlighting how our strategic priorities remain aligned with the hospital’s goals. This ensures every donation is directed towards making the most significant impact on the lives of our patients and staff.
Legacy giving continues to significantly contribute to the difference we are able to make and this year we received gifts totalling a generous £1.1m, reflecting the deep connection people continue to have with the hospital.
It has been another amazing year for community engagement. It never ceases to amaze me how our supporters dedicate their time, resources and skills to raise money in new and creative ways. £181,000 has been raised through a range of different supporter challenges and events. Cheered on by the charity, hundreds of you are crossing marathon finishing lines, completing 100 squats a day, getting busy baking, selling cakes and selflessly requesting charity donations in place of wedding gifts
This year, we had the highest number of #teamroyalpapworth runners at the Cambridge Half Marathon. Over £22,000 was raised by 48 runners!
Our community groups and corporate partners have played a significant role in championing our cause. North Bedfordshire Young Farmers Club held an Auction of Promises and raised over £16,000 for the Clinical Research Facility at the Heart and Lung Research Institute (HLRI).
Our unique partnership with Brick Prize Draws has gone from strength to strength, raising £11,250 for our charity. To date there have been 161 LEGO Prize Draw competition winners.
In 2025, our Charity will celebrate its 30th anniversary. For the past three decades we have supported projects such as the donation after circulatory death heart transplantation, the creation of reflective community spaces around the hospital, the funding of specialist staff like the psychological wellbeing practitioner to support staff wellbeing, not forgetting transformational equipment such as cardiac ultrasound machines and a new hybrid catheter laboratory.
This strategic growth will enable us to support Royal Papworth Hospital in delivering the highest standards of care and pioneering new treatments.
I feel confident and extremely grateful that with the kindness of you, our supporters, we will continue to achieve incredible results and make a positive impact on the lives of people with heart and lung disease.
Thank you, together we are Royal Papworth Charity.

6 . Celebrating the life of ‘enthusiastic and loving’ Vic
The Gujral family celebrated the life of ‘enthusiastic and loving’ husband and father Vic by placing a personalised brass maple leaf on our Giving Tree.
Last year, Vic received a heart transplant on the 100th day of his stay at the hospital. Unfortunately, due to post-surgery complications he was placed in a medically induced coma for 30 days. His wife Ritu and daughters Kushi and Kushboo and extended family spent time with him, doing Paath (prayers), holding his hand, playing music to him, and updating him on the football and cricket scores.
Sadly, Vic never recovered and as the family say, ‘he peacefully moved on to his next life surrounded by family, carrying the love of his family and friends with him.’
Kushi said: “The hospital was dad’s last home. During his stay he built lasting relationships based on a mutual understanding. Placing his leaf on the Giving Tree as much as we wish it were not necessary, surrounded by consultants, nursing staff and other patients, is testament to the lasting impact his life had.”
The family set up a Just Giving fundraising page in his honour and to say thank you to the hospital for the exceptional care he received. Thanks to the kindness of their family and friends they raised over £6,400 for the Patient Welfare Fund. The fund provides free local accommodation for family members of patients who travel far to be by their loved one’s side in their greatest time of need.
About the Giving Tree
Our Giving Tree celebrates a life, gives thanks, or displays a message to a loved one while supporting Royal Papworth Hospital. Family and friends can create a lasting tribute by displaying a personalised solid brass maple leaf on the tree, which is ‘planted’ beside the Chaplaincy for people to view and pay their respects. All the money raised through people buying a personalised leaf for the Giving Tree supports the work of Royal Papworth Hospital.

7 . From heart transplant to running 10K in aid of our Charity
Heart transplant patient Darren conquered the Run Norwich 10k and raised over £1,700 for our Charity last October.
Darren (55) took on the challenge nine months after he received his transplant at Royal Papworth Hospital, as a thank you for the ‘compassionate, empathetic trusting and skilled care’ and treatment he received.
Darren’s journey to receiving a heart transplant was an emotional one. In 2017, he collapsed and was diagnosed with inherited dilated cardiomyopathy – a condition in which the heart becomes enlarged and cannot pump blood effectively.
Over the next few years to regulate his abnormal heart rhythm he was fitted with a pacemaker and then an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. He describes the years between diagnosis and receiving his heart transplant as ‘horrendous,’ as his mother sadly died of the same condition two years after he was diagnosed.
Darren said: “Just before I went into theatre, I was feeling very stressed and there were a lot of tears. A member of staff sat beside me and held my hand until I went down. The staff are incredible people. I am in awe of all of them, they are brilliant.”
Life has certainly changed for Darren, from receiving the transplant, to ‘smashing rehab’ and running 10k. He can now look forward to watching his daughter Fran get married.
Darren said: “I now have the biggest honour of walking my daughter Fran down the aisle when she marries her fiancée, Harry.”
“I thank my incredible donor for wanting to donate their organ(s) and their family in their moment of grief for honouring those wishes. They have changed not just my life, but they have given Fran the opportunity to have her dad walk her down the aisle. That is a life memory that I may never have got to see.”
Darren’s daughters Charlotte and Fran are proud of what their dad has achieved since he received his heart transplant and add: “We are happy to support dad with his fundraising because we wanted to give something back to the hospital. The staff were really accepting of how emotional, dad being seriously ill and then receiving his heart transplant, it was for all of us.”

8 . How we support Royal Papworth Hospital
9.1 Expenditure
The charitable funds we receive from our supporters make a difference to the lives of the hospital patients and their family members, alongside hospital staff and volunteers in a variety of ways.
This includes investment in capital projects, purchase of medical equipment, welfare provision for patients and their families, training and education and wellbeing initiatives for staff and ground-breaking research.
Funds used in the year to further the Charity’s objectives amounted to £1,563,000 (2023/24: £1,971,000).
9.2 Charitable expenditure 2024/25
Staff welfare and amenities
£1,272,000
Patients’ welfare and amenities
Total: £1,563,000
-£70,000
Research
Royal Papworth Charity has funded £271,000 towards pump priming research projects and fostering a research and innovation culture at Royal Papworth Hospital. The funding will be used to support both clinical and nonclinical research projects.
Included within staff welfare is £75k (2023/24 – £79k) of gifts in kind which have been distributed throughout the hospital.
The negative spend against patient welfare and amenities is due to the release of a large grant committed in 2023/24. See note 9.1 in the accounts.
Support costs are apportioned across charitable activities and raising funds. For the method of apportionment see note 3.3 in the accounts.
Under the Statement of Reporting Practice (SORP) the Charity is also required to include future commitments in the expenditure. The majority of the Charity’s
commitments relate to costs for the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute, the Compassionate and Collective Leadership Programme and the Research Innovation Fund.

Clinical Research Facility
£500,000
The Charity’s commitment to developing innovative treatments for a wide range of heart and lung diseases continues with £500,000 approved for the Clinical Research Facility (CRF) located in the Victor Philip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Institute over two years.
The CRF is entering its most ambitious two years with a significant increase projected for the number of studies, collaborative opportunities available and the diversity of the studies being undertaken, which will be achieved by bringing in new investigators.
Year one will see the investment into an Echocardiography Machine to support the aspirations of developing an Academic Imaging Core Laboratory. Having a dedicated Physiologist for the machine will allow will allow the CRF team to expand their capability to support studies and attract external partners.
The funding will also provide additional staff to build an infrastructure to support the increased number of studies. The improved access to clinical trials will benefit Royal Papworth patients as innovative treatments are developed and medical advances are made.

Research Innovation
We continue to provide a commitment to pump prime research projects across Royal Papworth Hospital. Research projects funded now will enable the discovery of further medical advances that will save more lives tomorrow.
The Research Innovation grant is now a wellestablished annual grant and has successfully been renewed for its fifth year. In 2024/25, the research innovation grant call received the highest number of applications to date with both clinical and non-clinical projects being selected to receive funding.
The allocation of funding has accelerated the ability for both clinical and non-medical researchers to undertake research at Royal Papworth and there have been a number of notable successes.
£200,000
One project which has been gathering momentum is the introduction of a new tool to support line managers whilst appraising staff. The team are developing a more inclusive approach to understanding the individual needs of staff.
By weaving equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the line management process, the increased communication will improve patient safety, staff retention, increase productivity and allow a greater understanding of the skills available within the workforce.
The commitment to funding projects such as these will allow Royal Papworth to remain as a driving force for providing innovative healthcare solutions and encourage the workforce to strive to deliver excellence.

Educating tomorrow’s workforce today
Advanced Life Support training equipment
£8,500
Having the latest equipment has allowed the Clinical Education team to expand the advanced life support courses being delivered at Royal Papworth Hospital.
The new full-body CPR manikin has enabled the team to deliver high-quality advanced life support training. The advanced features of the manikin provide real-time feedback on the quality of the chest compressions and display cardiac rhythms as they would appear in real-life scenarios. These functions are invaluable for providing a realistic and effective training experience for the clinicians which will ultimately enhance their lifesaving skills and improve patient care.
Sara Almeida, Lead Resuscitation Officer at Royal Papworth Hospital, says: “These additional training spaces ensure more staff are equipped to lead a cardiac arrest team, maximizing our patients’ chances of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest within the hospital.”
“We could not offer this extra training without the generosity of our Charity supporters. On behalf of the Clinical Education team, thank you for your kindness.”
The expansion of these courses will help to foster a culture of continuous learning and professional development amongst staff. Encouraging staff to pursue advanced skills that contribute to their growth and the hospital’s excellence in care, which will aid staff retention as clinicians feel more supported and valued in their roles.

Chief Nurse Fellowship programme
The 12-month internship in collaboration with Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) is aimed at front-line nurses and Allied Health Professionals who are looking to make a significant impact on patient care through working on quality improvement and research projects whilst also developing their research and leadership skills.
Our Charity has provided funding to cover three clinicians to attend this internship for one day a week for the duration of the programme. During the sessions, staff will work together in small groups on a project pertinent to clinical practice and aligned with the service priorities in the Trust.
They will also benefit from taught sessions provided by the Royal Papworth Hospital Library Team and experienced researchers. At the end of the programme, they will be required to present a report on their project at the annual Research Conference.
This internship will provide a unique opportunity for front-line nurses and health professionals to develop essential research skills that are often outside the scope of daily clinical responsibilities. They will gain hands-on experience in conducting studies, analysing data and applying evidence-based practice. The learning will empower the staff to bring back new insights and innovations to their clinical roles, ultimately improving patient care.

The first 12 months of funding was dedicated to working with patients in critical care, leveraging music as a means of patient stimulation whilst recognising the complex and diverse needs of this patient group.
The comprehensive therapeutic framework provided to these patients included cognitive stimulation,
neuro-motor facilitation and targeted tactile, kinaesthetic and proprioceptive stimulation which all complement the auditory benefits provided by music therapy.
With the renewal of this grant, the Occupational Therapy team will expand the service onto the wards, ensuring all patients have access to enhanced therapies. The holistic care approach used by this team will support the early identification of neurological symptoms which will prevent delays in critical interventions, enhancing patient safety and allow for more timely rehabilitation which will improve patient experience.

Patient welfare – Patient Support Fund
The Patient Support Fund has provided 320 nights of local accommodation for family members of patients to be nearby at their greatest time of need.
When a loved one is unwell and an inpatient at Royal Papworth Hospital, there is an emotional and financial strain on the family members who are by their side.
The Patient Support Fund is available to families experiencing financial hardship to allow individuals to stay in accommodation close to the hospital, without the worry of the associated costs.
Matt said: “One of the lovely things we would do when Lucy stayed longer, is to have a picnic in the ward day room. We would get a couple of fancy glasses and straws, and Lucy would bring a Tupperware container in with my favourite food. It was a little special moment we could have together. It made you feel like you were doing something special, just like everyone else.”
Matt and Lucy from Brighton were one family that was able to benefit from this fund. Matt spent eight months waiting for his heart transplant at Royal Papworth Hospital.
His wife, Lucy would stay locally which meant she could spend more time at Matt’s side and less time on the eight-hour return journey from Brighton to Cambridge.

Patient welfare – Brightening a patient’s day with a pamper session
Many Royal Papworth patients spend extended periods of time on the wards recovering from their treatment or waiting for a transplant. To add a little joy to the day, the Charity funded 60 hours of pamper sessions over 2024/25 for Beauty Therapist, Michaela, to visit patient rooms.

Michaela visits the hospital once a week and provides nail care, hand and foot massages and facials to around 15 patients a week on the respiratory and surgical wards. The special treat is greatly appreciated by those who Michalea visits, and also gives them the chance to break up the day.
Julie, a Royal Papworth patient said: “I thoroughly enjoy my pampering sessions with Michaela. It is so nice to have that little bit of normality brought into the hospital room and is such a treat.
Mary, who can become ‘very poorly’ with lung disease and unable to manicure her own toenails and finger nails, says having Michaela do it for her is a “wonderful treat and makes her feel very special.”
She added, “When you are feeling poorly you can let things go a bit. The beauty therapy treatments help me with my general wellbeing, and they give me a boost that helps me feel better.”

Staff welfare
Royal Papworth provides a busy calendar of events and schemes to recognise and acknowledge the hard work of its dedicated staff. Through our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, a multicultural approach is taken to ensure that staff of all backgrounds feel represented and celebrated by the Trust.
Funding has been provided for staff ‘away days’ where teams can have time to review their activities and shout about their successes, improve team relations, review any changes and implement best practice learnings. Projects such as these improve staff engagement and allow shared learnings which will ultimately improve patients experience.
From small gestures on International Nurses Day to all-staff events and the staff awards, the wellbeing and recognition of the workforce is considered at every turn and our Charity are delighted to play its part.

Prioritising today’s patients for tomorrow’s healthcare system
Tailored weight management pilot for patients using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine
Royal Papworth is known for its holistic approach to patient recovery and recognising health inequalities allows for a bespoke treatment plan for each patient.
Health Inequalities Specialist Nurse, Berin, recognised a gap in NHS provision and sought funding to implement a tailored weight management service as an enhancement on the current offering within the Trust. The Charity approved £36,000 for a pilot with a focus on patients who are using a CPAP machine.
The new service will bridge the current gap and provide immediate, accessible support to ensure patients receive guidance and tools to make sustainable lifestyle changes whilst awaiting community-based interventions. Their improved health outcomes will mean a reduced CPAP dependency and an improved patient experience.

10.3 How we manage the money
Money which is donated to Royal Papworth Charity is managed via restricted and unrestricted funds. Some of this money is donated for a specific purpose, such as to buy medical equipment, whilst other donations are more generic and donated for the Charity to use where it thinks there is the greatest need in the hospital. The Trustee Board, on behalf of the Corporate Trustee, believes that all of the unrestricted and restricted funds are able to meet current and future commitments.
More detailed information on the breakdown of the Charity funds is available in Note 10 of the Accounts .
10.4 Fund balance
Fund balances increased by £181,000. During the year, unrestricted funds decreased by £672,000 and restricted funds increased by £853,000.
10.5 Reserves
Restricted balance of £2,187,000 arises where our donors have specifically requested that their donations are used for a particular purpose or they have responded to an appeal for donations to a specific project.
Unrestricted funds of £3,224,000 are donations the Charity may use for any purpose as no restrictions have been placed by our donors.
Of which:
Designated funds: £1,898,000 are funds set aside out of unrestricted funds by the Trustee Board for specific purposes relating to Royal Papworth Hospital without restricting or committing the funds legally.
Free reserves: £1,326,000 are unrestricted funds not already committed or designated that can be used as part of active financial management and forward financial planning for sustainability of the Charity.

11 . Legacy income
As an NHS charity that supports the vital work of Royal Papworth Hospital, the UK’s leading centre for the treatment of heart and lung disease, legacy gifts will always be a vital source of income.
This year, we have raised £1,113,000 in legacy income. This is with thanks to the generosity of our supporters who have bequeathed a gift to the Charity in their Will.
Royal Papworth Charity has continued to partner with specialist Will-writers Octopus Legacy, who offer a free Will-writing service for our supporters. This has helped grow legacy income, whilst offering our supporters a great opportunity to plan for the future.
Ziskin
Ziskin, who had heart failure after a heart attack, received a heart transplant at Royal Papworth Hospital. A decade later, the Isle of Wight resident says he would not be here today if it was not for the hospital.
I am happy to pledge a gift in my Will to the hospital. I want to make an impact on the lives of people living with heart and lung disease. I want them to get a second chance in life, just as I gratefully did. Ziskin

12 . Community income
We have had another amazing year raising funds through a wide range of different supporter challenges and events. Our supporters’ determination to go above and beyond in support of our work is deeply appreciated across all areas of Royal Papworth Hospital.
Cambridge Country Club, a golf course in the heart of Cambridgeshire, chose Royal Papworth Charity as their Charity of the year and raised £7,600 with plans to continue the partnership into 2025.
In exchange for the delicious food he served them, he asked for donations to our Charity. His fantastic fundraising initiative raised £10,355 from his generous diners.
Carefully planned community events resulted in incredible generosity from a broad range of supporters. Family fun days, school bake sales, quiz and race nights as well as raffles, Christmas events and a book of poetry all helped to raise funds.
A sports mad 10-year-old took on a 10km cycle ride, 10km run and 10k swim and raised over £1,200 for Royal Papworth Hospital, who has cared for his grandad over the past decade.
Just a snippet of the ways in which our supporters dedicated their time, resources and skills to raise money for the Charity.
This year, we had the highest number of #teamroyalpapworth runners at the Cambridge Half Marathon. Royal Papworth Hospital patients and their family members along with hospital staff left no stone unturned when it came to fundraising. The forty-eight runners raised over £22,000. The family and friends of a lung transplant patient raised £7,000.
This March we celebrated the one-year anniversary of our LEGO® competition partnership with Brick Prize Draw. And thanks to everyone who entered the competitions to win a dream LEGO® set, including rare and retired sets which are no longer available, we raised a mighty £11,250 in 12 months.
Alex, a former cardiac surgery patient, broke the Guinness World Record for running the fastest marathon by somebody with an artificial heart valve.
Thank you for your continued support. Your commitment to fundraising provides hope and encouragement to Royal Papworth Hospital patients and staff. You are truly making a difference, now and in the future.
The 37-year-old conquered the Stevenage marathon last October with a time of three hours and six minutes – breaking the previous world record by 45 minutes.
Alex had a bicuspid aortic valve - a common congenital heart defect which can cause blood flow issues. If left untreated it could have caused serious complications such as heart failure. He said he faced the most challenging time of his life and feared he may never see his daughters grow up, when three years ago he underwent open heart surgery at Royal Papworth Hospital to have an artificial valve fitted.

Social media and local media coverage attracted donations to his online fundraising page which saw him quadruple his original target and raise £1,700.
Thanks to the amazing staff and treatment I received at Royal Papworth Hospital, I can return to my love of running and am delighted to have broken the world record at the same time.

Kris Bashyal
Double lung transplant patient Kris Bashyal and owner of the Kathmandu Lounge restaurant raised an amazing £10,355. Kris and his family celebrated his second chance at life and the opening of his new Nepalese restaurant with an evening of delicious food and fundraising for Royal Papworth Hospital.
£10,335
Invited guests dug deep into their pockets including those who could not make the event and helped him raise the impressive total. Every year Kris plans to celebrate the anniversary of his lung transplant with a fundraising event.
Austin Moore
Sports mad, Austin smashed his very own fitness challenge and raised £1,271 for Royal Papworth Charity.
The 10-year-old took on a 10km cycle ride, 10km run and 10km swim last June, to help raise money for Royal Papworth Hospital patients and staff.
£1,271
Austin’s fundraising is his way of saying a huge thank you for the life-saving treatment his 60-year-old grandad Paul received from the hospital over the past eight years.
Kate Crichton, Ri Oliver and Jamie Blackett
Kate, Ri and Jamie raised £7,000 to say thank you to Royal Papworth Hospital who saved Kate’s partner Ross with a double lung transplant. The team of three raised the impressive amount by taking on the iconic Cambridge Half Marathon in March.
Kate said “Ross would not be here today if it wasn’t for the incredible staff at Royal Papworth Hospital and the generosity of the donor and their family’s courage and support for donation.
£7,000
“The hospital saved his life more than once and has provided the most exceptional care and support in the months before and since his transplant.”
Alan and Kala Wykes
Alan who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery at Royal Papworth Hospital, generously donated £7,000 on the anniversary of the day he was discharged from hospital.
Alan said they plan to keep donating on this day every year. He said: “The whole team from the ancillary staff, the nursing staff through to the surgeons took excellent care of me during my four weeks stay and they were all so cheerful and kind which always kept my spirits up. I wanted to say thank you in some way or form and donating to the Charity seemed the best way to do this.
£7,000
“Kala also wanted to say thank you in a practical way. The nurses were always concerned about how she was coping and the thing she will never forget is that the surgeon phoned her after the operation to say that I was alright.”
14 . Our Future Plans
Royal Papworth Hospital provides excellent, specialist care to patients suffering from heart and lung disease. The hospital community works hard to deliver tomorrow’s medicine to today’s patients in a patient-centric, deeply compassionate and caring environment.
When I stepped into the role of Managing Director in January 2025, I was deeply moved by the extraordinary bond between our patients, staff, volunteers, and supporters. That connection is what fuels our Charity’s mission to do more, reach further, and accelerate the impact of this remarkable hospital.
The year ahead marks a new chapter of growth and ambition. As we respond to a changing landscape of charitable giving, our focus is on becoming even more resilient, so we can continue delivering vital support where it’s needed most.
To support this ambition, we will:
-
Launch a new Charity Strategy that drives income growth, expands our presence within the hospital, and deepens relationships with patients and supporters.
-
Grow and diversify our fundraising offerings to meet the evolving needs of our generous community.
-
Strengthen our network of supporters by offering meaningful services to patients and their loved ones.
-
Pioneer new funding approaches that help bring bold ideas to life.
-
Celebrate our 30th year as a charity, honouring the incredible Papworth community that inspires us daily.
This, combined with the dedication and support of our valuable supporters, will allow our Charity to continue to support the delivery of excellent, specialist care to patients suffering from heart and lung disease.

15 . Reserves
Approved statement of policy on reserves
The Trustee Board believes it is prudent to hold a level of free reserves to enable the Charity to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves and to have sufficient working capital to allow the fundraising, support and governance operations of the Charity to continue for one year. This will allow the Charity to respond in a considered way to any adverse change in circumstances, giving sufficient time to enable emerging circumstances to be assessed and appropriate plans developed and implemented, without requiring a crisis response.
Having carefully considered the best interests of the Charity and its beneficiaries, the Trustee Board believes it to be appropriate to aim to hold £1.5m free reserves. £0.6m is required for working capital and £0.9m is the Trustee Boards’ best estimate of the amount which should be held for potential future (but as yet unknown) opportunities.
Any free reserves held by the Charity over and above this amount which are not expected to be used in the short term will be made available by the Trustee Board for grants to benefit the patients of Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. If free reserves fall below this level the Trustee Board will consider whether this is due to short term circumstances or a longer-term reason and will review its expenditure and fundraising plans accordingly.
Material designated funds
Material Designated Funds are where the Trustee Board has approved projects as suitable for fundraising and fundraising occurs towards those projects, donations received are placed in the appropriate designated fund pending the formal grant of monies once sufficient fundraising has taken place to enable the project to proceed.
There were £929k commitments approved in 2024/25 (£1,101k 2023/24) of which £Nil related to restricted funds (£422k 2023/24), £429k related to undesignated funds (£679k 2023/24) and £500k related to designated funds (£Nil 2023/24). A further £613k was approved for the charity budget (£562k 2023/24). Where the Trustee Board approves the allocation of free reserves towards the funding of future capital programmes/projects/ schemes which have been identified by the beneficiary NHS Body as required within the next three to five years, a designated fund is set up for the amount the Trustee Board expects to contribute, and the expected time frame is agreed and recorded.
The designation, time frame and specific proposals are then reviewed by the Trustees as requirements are updated, and the fund is closed either when a specific commitment is made or in the event of the proposals being withdrawn

16 . Investments
16.1 Monitoring of investments
Investment performance is monitored by the Charitable Funds Committee, which receives reports from the investment advisers. The Charitable Funds Committee reviews the Investment Policy on an annual basis and undertakes periodic reviews of arrangements for investment advice to ensure that value for money is being achieved.
16.2 Investment statement
The Trustee Board aims to ensure that donations and funds held by the Charity are spent effectively and efficiently to achieve its objects; for any purposes related to the National Health Service. This means that they may not need to be spent straight away and there will be time between receiving donations and spending them when they can be invested to further increase their value and earn extra income for the Charity as well as to protect them in the short to medium term so that they are available to meet future expenditure on committed projects. The Trustee Board has adopted an Investment Policy (RPC003 – available upon request) to regulate the activities of their Investment Manager from time to time and to meet the requirements of the Trustee Act 2000. The below statement provides a highlevel overview of the policy document. As an unincorporated Charity, the Trustee Board has the general powers of investment and duties provided for in the Trustee Act 2000, subject only to any specific provisions in the governing document. The Trustee Board makes full use of its powers to invest for the benefit of the Charity and its beneficiaries and reserves the right to hold any asset for the purpose of generating money, whether income or capital growth, with which to further the work of the Charity. The Trustee Board has determined that its appetite for risk is balanced overall.
In 2024, the Charity transferred its funds to be held by a new Investment Manager, CCLA. The new Investment Manager has been fully onboarded with the Charity and reports to the Charitable Funds Committee on a quarterly basis.
The Investment Manager will be expected to adopt a diversified portfolio with an overall volatility of no more than 12% for its long-term portfolio measured over a five-year annualised period.
Having considered the situations set out by the Charity Commission when considering ‘responsible investment’, the Trustee Board has determined that no investments should be made in securities from organisations that generate a material amount of their turnover or wealth (as defined below) through the following industries and companies:
-
Tobacco manufacturers (>10% of overall revenues)
-
Armaments (>10% of overall revenues)
-
Companies whose principal activities include the manufacture of alcoholic beverages (>25% of overall revenues)
-
Companies whose principal activities include the discovery, sale, and distribution of fossil fuels (>20% of overall revenues)
No further ethical restrictions apply, although the Trustee Board reserves the right to exclude any investments which they judge might prove damaging, directly or indirectly, to the purposes, reputation or public support of the Charity. The Charity applies the same exclusions within its Donation Acceptance and Refusal Policy. The Trustee Board has set a threshold of 7% as the maximum holding in or exposure to any individually traded asset.
Collective investment schemes can be held at higher concentrations provided the underlying assets do not breach the 7% limit. The choice of investment manager(s) will be kept under review by the Charitable Funds Committee which should formally decide whether to continue with the current investment manager(s) or recommend to the Trustee Board that a new manager is selected at least every five years.
17 . Charity governance, structure and management arrangements
Trustee recruitment, appointment and induction
IMembers of the hospital’s Board of Directors are coopted into the Trustee Board. The appointment of Non-executive Directors of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Council of Governors. The Chief Executive is appointed by the Non-Executive Directors, subject to the approval of the Council of Governors.
Executive Directors of the Board are appointed by a Committee, normally comprising the Chairman, the Chief Executive, at least two other Non-executive Directors and an independent assessor. Members of the Trustee Board are not individual trustees under Charity Law but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. As part of their induction, new Executive and Non-executive Directors of the Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust are made aware of their responsibilities as Corporate Trustee of the Royal Papworth Charity, which include a standing declaration of interests at all meetings.
The induction includes an introduction to the objectives, scope and policies of the Trustee Board and Charitable Funds Committee, Charity Commission information on trustee responsibilities, copies of the previous years’ Trustee’s Annual Report and Accounts and a copy of the governing documents for the Charity’s Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements.
Statement of Corporate Trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the Corporate Trustee’s annual report and the financial statements
Under the trust deed of the charity and charity law, the corporate trustee is responsible for preparing a Corporate Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The corporate trustee is required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the corporate trustees:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
assess the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
-
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Corporate Trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed and the rules of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the corporate trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Corporate Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Royal Papworth Hospital
The ability of Royal Papworth Charity to continue its support for Royal Papworth Hospital is dependent on its ability to maintain and increase donations from the general public. Royal Papworth Charity continues to forge strong relationships with members of staff of Royal Papworth Hospital without whose co-operation the ability to make effective contributions would be much diminished.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Corporate Trustee considers to be appropriate for the following reasons:
The business model of the Charity is such that its charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds to support from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the Charity. The Charity therefore has no specific commitments and no committed costs beyond its fixed costs of operation which are detailed in note 3.
The Corporate Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and is confident that the Charity will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
47
Royal Papworth Hospital Charity Annual Accounts 2024/25
The principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. The accounts (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 the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Key matters relating to the Charity’s financial position are:
-
The Charity reported fund balances (after provisions) of £5,411k at the end of 2024/25 financial year (as restated 2023/24 £5,230k).
-
The Charity reported a closing cash position of £1,468k for the 2024/25 financial year (2023/24 £1,619k).
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Incoming resources
a) All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three conditions are met:
-
Entitlement – control over the rights or other access to the economic benefit has passed to the Charity.
-
Probable – where it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the Charity.
-
Measurement – the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably, and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
b) Gifts in kind
-
Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when received by the Charity.
-
• Gifts made in kind but in trust for conversion into cash and subsequent application by the funds are included in the accounting period in which the gift is sold.
In all cases the amount at which gifts in kind are brought into account is either a reasonable estimate of their value to the funds or the amount actually realised.
c) Legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable, that is, ensuring we have received grant of probate and confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made, or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.
d) Investment income
Investment income from equity held is apportioned to each fund based upon the average yearly balance of each fund at the end of the period the income is received.
48
Royal Papworth Hospital Charity Annual Accounts 2024/25
1.3 Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. A liability (and consequently, expenditure) is recognised in the financial statements when there is a legal or constructive obligation, it is probable (more likely than not) that settlement will be required, and the obligation can be reliably measured.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
a) Charitable activities
Grants payable are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. They are accounted for fully in the year the commitment arises. Activities undertaken directly are payments made by the Charity in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payment have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment.
A constructive obligation arises when:
-
The Charity communicates its intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that the grant will be received.
-
The Charity makes a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant.
-
There is an established pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that the Charity will honour its commitment.
b) Costs of raising funds
Costs of raising funds include all expenditure associated with generating incoming resources from all sources other than from undertaking charitable activities. This includes costs of fundraising, trading and associated costs and costs of managing investments.
c) Support costs
Support costs are those costs that do not themselves produce or constitute the output of the Charity but are necessary to deliver an activity. These include staff costs, costs of administration, software costs and external audit costs. Support costs have been apportioned between costs of raising funds and charitable activities. These costs are apportioned across charitable activities in proportion to total spend. For the method of apportionment, see note 3.3.
d) Staff costs
The Charity does not directly employ any staff. Staff that work on the Charity are employed by the Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and these costs are recharged to the Charity. See note 3.4.
1.4 Structure of funds
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the financial statements as a restricted fund. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 10. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for
49
Royal Papworth Hospital Charity Annual Accounts 2024/25
charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. There are no endowment funds held during this accounting period.
Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the Corporate Trustee has chosen to earmark for set purposes are classified as “designated” within unrestricted funds.
The reclassification of restricted funds is approved by the Corporate Trustee and is compliant with Charity Commission NHS Charities guidance.
1.5 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value (historic cost) 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.
1.6 Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or 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 date of purchase if later).
1.7 Stock
Stock is recognised in the financial statements at the lower of cost and net realisable value, using the first in first out (FIFO) method. No provision has been made for slow moving, obsolete or defective stock during the year.
1.8 Corporation Tax
The Charity is a registered Charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Charity’s primary objectives, if these profits and surplus are applied solely for charitable purposes.
1.9 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 '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 on a 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
50
Royal Papworth Hospital Charity Annual Accounts 2024/25
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.
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.
1.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Short term, highly liquid investments are included as cash at bank and in hand when the notice period of the account is 90 days or less and is cash investment.
1.13 Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured based on their recoverable amount.
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.
Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long-term creditors.
1.15 Provisions
A provision arises when there is a constructive obligation. See note 1.3(a) for the conditions required for a constructive obligation.
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustee is 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.
51
Royal Papworth Hospital Charity Annual Accounts 2024/25
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. Expenditure
Accounting Policies Expenditure
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; Admin costs are allocated based on fund balances.
3.1 Analysis of Charitable activities
The Research expenditure relates mainly to commitments for ongoing and new research projects.
Support costs are apportioned across charitable activities and raising funds. For the method of apportionment see note 3.3.

The Charity awards a significant number of grants during the year. Many grants are awarded and paid out in the same financial year. However, some grants, especially those relating to research and development or those to fund specific staff posts are multi-year grants paid over a longer period.
9.1 Explanation of movement in unused amounts reversed in year
In March 2024 the charity agreed to fund a grant for Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion for £373,320. During the year it was decided this grant was no longer needed as the funding for the project would come from elsewhere. This grant provision was then released in September 2024, leading to a significant variance both in unused amounts reversed during the year and charitable expenditure (Patients Welfare & Amenities grant funded activity).
