I was hugely proud to officially take on the role as Head of Charity of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Charity in 2024. Working alongside Portsmouth Hospitals Charity, as our respective Trusts work in partnership I hope will present us with many opportunities in the future.

I love visiting St Mary’s and seeing the difference the charity has already made. I’ve also been particularly proud of the way we have already introduced some initiatives which have already been a success across the Solent!

Enhancing patient care, and supporting staff welfare will be our priority. We will also support the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service who are an important part of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust. Looking forward to the future!

“ Message from the Chair

I am delighted to introduce to you the Annual Report for the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Following the partnership between Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and the Isle of Wight NHS Trust, the charity, although maintaining a separate registration is now able to share some resource with Portsmouth Hospitals Charity. As a result, in June 2024, the charity hosted a relaunch on site which was a great success.

As I take over as the new Chair of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Charity, I am delighted to see the difference the Charity is making already across St Mary’s hospital. I am also hugely excited for the future and playing my part in its ongoing success.

Jenni Douglas-Todd Chair of Charity Board of Trustees

As I take over as the new Chair of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Charity, I am delighted to see the difference the Charity is making already across St Mary’s hospital. I am also hugely excited for the future and playing my part in its ongoing success.

Some new income generation initiatives launched by the charity in 2024 were the sale of branded fleeces for staff, as well as our first event, a Santa Dash in Cowes! There are many more opportunities which we are working on which we hope will seek to increase our income, and our impact in years to come.

Finally, I would like to pass my thanks on to you, and all of our supporters who fundraise to help enhance patient care alongside our charity. Thanks must go to the Friends of St Mary’s volunteers who run the shop just inside the reception. Every year they raise money to support the charity with lots of different initiatives, and we are so grateful for their ongoing commitment.

In 2024/25, £84,000 was spent on improving patient care and staff welfare. We introduced the first ‘Dragon’s Den inviting all staff to submit project ideas. We were really pleased with the results, and you can read more about these on pages 10 and 11. We also supported the Staff Awards, which we are always proud to be associated with.

We have exciting times ahead, but we couldn’t achieve anything without your kind donations.

With best wishes,

Jenni Douglas-Todd

Your support: Enhancing patient care

Throughout 2024-25, your generous donations allowed us to fund a wide range of projects that enhance patient care and staff wellbeing across the Trust.

As shown in this report, a lot of the changes made have gone towards the Children’s Department, a department where our youngest and sometimes most vulnerable patients need help the most!

32" Smart TV

Another addition to the Children’s Department that the charity made was a brand new 32" Smart TV. The TV was installed to make children’s stays in hospital more comfortable and less scary.

Dionne Davies, one of our Play Specialists, said “we are incredibly grateful to the charity for kindly providing the television, which has made a real difference for our children and young people during their hospital stays. Being able to connect it to the PlayStation has brought much-needed entertainment and comfort during what can often be long and difficult admissions.”

iPad for the Children’s Department

One of the things the Charity have funded for the Children’s Department is an iPad, which can be taken around the department for children who need it.

The introduction of the iPad has had a positive impact on children who come to the department, helping to provide distraction and comfort when needed most.

“

The iPad has been a great success on the children’s ward for distraction during medical procedures. We predominately use it during blood tests or cannulations on the ward or in theatre. Although it has been used for children with additional needs to watch their favourite YouTube programmes. This creates a calm, engaged child who is focused on fun rather than a potentially painful procedure.

A simple app like making ice-creams or stacking pancakes can reduce anxiety, promoting resilience and coping strategies for the next medical intervention.

Many thanks to the charity for this amazing addition to the children’s ward – it’s helped so many children during challenging treatments! - Dionne Davies, Play Specialist

Pupilometer

We were able to provide the Intensive Care Unit with a brand new pupilometer.

Children’s Department Gaming Carts

Beyond just entertainment, playing games can also encourage cognitive development and emotional well-being, all of which are incredibly important to a child’s overall healing process. The gaming carts mean that gaming can be easily brought to bedsides, playrooms, or treatment areas, ensuring accessibility for children with varying levels of mobility.

This was made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of our fundraisers and those who have donated to the Charity.

Christmas is the time for giving and giving to Charity is one of the best ways to help others during the festive period. This past Christmas, Gamer Reach Charity gave a generous donation of not one, but TWO gaming carts for our Children’s Department!

Pupilometers offer fast, accurate and non-invasive measurements of pupil size and reactivity which can be crucial in diagnosing and monitoring patients with head injuries, strokes or other neurological conditions.

Hospital visits can often be daunting and stressful for accessibility for children with children, especially when they varying levels of mobility. face extended treatments or Dionne Davies, one of our Play procedures. These gaming carts, Specialists, said “The staff and equipped with a variety of popular video games, offer a fun I are pleased as punch with the and engaging way to help take gaming carts. They are going their minds off medical to be really popular and bring a challenges, reduce anxiety, and lot of joy to children as they make their time in hospital more recoup from their illness.” positive.

Becky Craig, ICU Sister, said “The team are looking forward to completing their training and using the new piece of equipment that will help us monitor the neurological status of our patients.”

“

We are so grateful to Marie and the local community for working so hard to raise funds for us to purchase the pupilometer for our ICU here at St Mary’s Hospital. It is a very generous gift and will help enhance diagnostics within the ICU. - Becky Craig, ICU Sister

Supporting staff welfare

PALS Office

Another one of our Dragon’s Den’s 2024 projects looked at renovating the PALS office.

With the number of walk-ins into the PALS office increasing, it was decided that the seating and tables desperately needed replacing. A fridge was also requested in order to have a place for staff to keep their lunches, as well as milk and water for visitors.

Thanks to donations and fundraising, the PALS office received new furniture and a new fridge on order to enhance the area for staff and walk-in visitors!

Samantha Johnson, our Patient Experience Lead, said “The staff who had previously been in or used the PALS office have mentioned how lovely the new furniture looks compared to the old.”

Maintenance Break Room

As part of our Dragon’s Den 2024 projects, we looked at renovating the Maintenance Break Room for the Estates team.

The project looked at procuring new seating and furniture, as well as replacing the kitchenette, flooring and repainting the walls to give the room more light, due to there not being very many windows.

The redecoration and renovation of the Maintenance Break Room has provided the maintenance team with a brighter, cleaner atmosphere. It has also created a more comfortable and usable space for the maintenance team to use during their rest period.

“

We were delighted to run our first ‘Dragon’s Den’ at St Mary’s to invite project ideas for funding from staff. We can really see the difference these projects have made to both patients and staff alike.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Finance Review

The net assets of the Charity as at 31 March 2025 were £330,000 (compared with £362,000 on 31 March 2024). This is a decrease of £32,000 during the year.

The General (Unrestricted) Fund decreased by £6,000 to £45,000, the designated funds increased by £1,000 to £145,000 and the restricted funds decreased by £27,000 to £140,000.

During 2024/25, the Charity received a total income of £91,000 a decrease of £134,000 on the previous year.

Expenditure during 2024/25 totalled £123,000 a decrease of £54,000 from the previous year. Patient welfare and amenities benefitted from expenditure of £73,000

Reserves and Investments

The Charity Board has established a reserves policy. We have agreed that the level of the reserves should be a minimum of £200,000, which is equal to approximately one year’s operational costs and estimated annual commitments. This amount can be revised at any time according to relevant circumstances.

The Charity’s total reserves stand at £330k and are calculated as follows:

Unrestricted Reserves – General Fund £ 45,000 Unrestricted Reserves – Designated Fund £ 145,000 Restricted Reserves £ 140,000 Total Reserves £ 330,000

The Charity Board will make every effort to spend designated funds within a reasonable period of receipt. Designated funds not spent within a reasonable period are reviewed and the likelihood that funds will be committed soon considered. Where the designated funds are no longer required, the fund will be closed and transferred to reserves. The Charity expects to utilise as much of the available funds as possible in furtherance of its objectives

Cash is held within the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) specifically designed for charities which obtains a competitive investment income return during the year.The movement in interest rates affects the income received.

Risk Management

As part of the business planning for the Charity, the Charity Board has considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. It has reviewed systems and identified steps to mitigate the major risks to which the Charity is exposed

Partnership Working

We remain indebted to the work of the volunteers of the Isle of Wight Friends of St Mary’s, who raise thousands of pounds each year for St Mary’s Hospital and to the many members of staff who give up much of their spare time to fund raise. On behalf of the staff and patients who have benefited from improved services due to donations and legacies, the Charity Board would like to thank all patients, relatives and staff who have made charitable donations.

Future Plans

The aims and objectives for the next twelve months are to continue to work to deliver on our four-year strategy. The Charity will reach the end of this strategy in 2028 so will be resetting our aims. This will involve stakeholder engagement and approval by the Charity Board of Trustees.

For 2025/26, the team will deliver against three key priority aims as follows: Enhancing patient care Supporting staff well being Advancing medical research

In addition to these, three supporting goals have been added as follows: Growing support Growing our influence Effective organisation

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustee of Isle of Wight NHS Charity

The Corporate Trustee is responsible for:

keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the funds held on trust and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with requirements in the Charities Act 2011 and those outlined in the directions issued by the Secretary of State; establishing and monitoring a system of internal control; and establishing arrangements for the prevention and detection of fraud and corruption.

The Corporate Trustee is required under the Charities Act 2011 and the National Health Service Act 1977 to prepare accounts for each financial year. The Secretary of State, with the approval of the Treasury, directs that these accounts give a true and fair view of the financial position of the funds held on trust, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:

apply on a consistent basis accounting policies laid down by the Secretary of State with the approval of the Treasury; make judgements and estimates which are responsible and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention or detection of fraud and other irregularities

The Corporate Trustee confirms that they have met the responsibilities set out above and complied with the requirements for preparing the accounts. The financial statements set out on pages 20 to 35 attached have been compiled from and are in accordance with the financial records maintained by the trustees.

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

b) Structure of funds

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is designated in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the Trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are designated funds. The major funds held in these categories are disclosed on notes 20.1 and 20.2.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The Corporate Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the IOW NHS Trust Charitable Funds ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.

In future years, the key risks to the Charity are a fall in income from donations.

c) Incoming Resources

a) All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met:

entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or the charity's right becomes legally enforceable;

certainty - when there is reasonable certainty that the incoming resource will be received; measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

b) Legacies

Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes reasonably certain. This will be once 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.

c) There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to resources from non-exchange transactions that have not been recognised in income.

d) Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT

The funds held on trust accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept.All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

a) Cost of generating funds

The cost of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust.

b) Grants payable

Grants payable are payments, made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the funds held on trust's charitable 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. This includes grants paid to NHS bodies.

c) Support Costs

These are accounted for on an accruals basis and are recharges of appropriate proportions of the costs from the Isle of Wight NHS Trust, apart from the audit fee.

e) Fixed Assets

The only fixed assets that the Fund has are investments assets.

f) Investment Fixed Assets

Investment fixed assets are shown at market value. Other investment fixed assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.

g) Debtors

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

h) 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 savings accounts.

i) Creditors

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

Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as log term creditors.

j) Realised gains and losses

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).

The Charity is a public benefit entity.

Notes to the Accounts - continued

k) Value Added Tax (VAT)

No income is generated by the charity which includes VAT. Purchases made by the charity are subject to VAT. Purchases of a medical nature are liable to zero

rated VAT when purchased by the charity and VAT zero rated certificates are sent when ordering these goods. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

5 Role of Volunteers

Lke all charities, the IOW NHS Trust Charitable Fund is reliant on many volunteers for their involvement in fundraising by way of organising, publicising or undertaking physical challenges to raise funds for all areas of the Trust. The volunteers consist of members of the public and employees of IOW NHS Trust.

In accordance with the SORP, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

Support costs are allocated in a two stage process. On a monthly basis, we take 5% of each donation and transfer it to “Administration Expenses”. At the end of the year, this is allocated against the total support costs. If the total exceeds the available contribution then the balance is apportioned across all funds.

For annual accounts reporting purposes, the total value of support costs is then allocated on a pro-rata basis against expenditure activities (see notes 7 & 8).

IOW finance staff and Information Technology are no longer recharged to the Charity. We are now recharged fundraising staff costs from Portsmouth Charity.

Employees: Senior Financial Accountant and Financial Accountant - both full time members of staff with IOW NHS Trust. Neither of the employees had emoluments in excess of £60,000.

In 2024/25 IOW NHS Trust started working in partnership with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and in order to align processes between the two charities, the IOW finance staff recharge was ceased. Instead, a proportion of the Portsmouth Charity Team salaries was recharged. This was mostly funded by a grant from NHS Charities Together leaving only a balance of £2652.17 to be allocated as part of the support costs.

Each of the funds has at least two signatories who act as fund holders on a day to day basis. 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 Charity and its Special Purpose/ Speciality Charities are as follows: Funds are held for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service.

Speciality charities

Funds are held for any charitable purpose relating to the specialty services provided by Isle of Wight NHS Trust.

Members of the Trust Board and the Charity Board of Trustees are not individual trustees under charity law but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. Non-Executive Members of the Trust Board are appointed by NHS England & Improvement and Executive members of the Board and are subject to recruitment by the NHS Board. The NHS Trust, as Corporate Trustee, appoints a Charity Board of Trustees to manage the Charity under delegated authority.

Acting for the Corporate Trustee, the Charity Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall management of the Charitable Fund and meet quarterly.

The Charity Board of Trustees is required to:

Keep proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the fund held on trust and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with requirements in the Charities

Act and the Statement of Recommended Practice by charities (SORP) 2015, updated 2016.

Establish and monitor a system of internal control. Establish arrangements for the prevention and detection of fraud and corruption.

Advise the Trust Board on the performance and risks of the Charity.

Activities

Isle of Wight NHS Trust 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 donors wishes ensuring that these are honoured and communicated with the donor. In the year 2024/25 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.

Isle of Wight 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.

The Charity achieves its purpose by making charitable grants to the Trust to fund expenditure on equipment and by direct expenditure on staff, education, environmental improvements and other complimentary services. e
