Foreword from the Chair of the Royal Surrey Charity Corporate Trustee and the Chair of the Royal Surrey Charity Charitable Funds Committee
Two years on from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and we are still learning how the most devastating public health crisis for a hundred years is challenging the people served by the Royal Surrey Charity. In some ways, year 2 of the pandemic proved even more difficult than year 1. For the general population ‘Covid fatigue’ – an understandable weariness, and worse, at the continuing, essential, public health restrictions – was added to the physical effects of the virus. For our Royal Surrey staff, Covid continued, and continues, to have a profound impact. Added to this has been the increasingly severe economic outlook, which has inevitably affected the health and wellbeing of our patients and staff – and the ability of our donors to respond to this.
Despite this, we remain optimistic that we can improve lives though the work we fund at the Royal Surrey Charity. Working with the wonderful Royal Surrey staff – admiring their resilience and dedication – this optimism is inevitable; and we are harnessing it more than ever before. As the year ended, we ran our ‘Bid for Better’ programme, using charity funding to support imaginative and innovative ideas proposed and put together by individuals and teams from around the Trust. More on this in our next annual report, but for now we have to say how impressed we were by the number and quality of applications, a treasure trove of clever, thoughtful ideas generated by staff seeking to benefit the patients in their care.
‘Bid for Better’ typifies how we plan to develop the charity, in three respects: it centrally involves Royal Surrey staff in developing ideas for using the generous donations of friends and supporters; it enables us to prioritise these brilliant ideas, to ensure maximum benefit; and – for the future – it should create a virtuous circle, with our supporters seeing ever more clearly the impact of donations to the Royal Surrey Charity, and consequently giving ever more generously.
Two other themes emerge from the following pages. First, we recognise that Trust staff are exhausted and drained after the prolonged effort to manage Covid, and that recovering and restoring our usual services has allowed no respite. So we focused much of our grant giving during 2021/22 on staff well-being and support, in line with donors’ wishes. Second, we believe strongly that we can not only make changes locally but can scale this impact up. We are supported by NHS Charities Together, by Surrey Heartlands ICS, and by the efforts of our own staff who, despite the pressures they face and have managed through the pandemic, remain tireless and enthusiastic fund raisers.
Personally, we remain committed to taking part in fund raising activities, baking, running and walking to raise funds for the charity and its beneficiaries. How could we not when we see the efforts of our colleagues, and of former and current patients and their families, many highlighted on the following pages? We are so grateful to them for their support and confidence in the work of the NHS, the Royal Surrey, and the Royal Surrey Charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
THE CHARITY
This is the annual report of Royal Surrey Charity (‘the Charity’) covering the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.
With a vision to provide nationally celebrated community focused health and care, the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) provides district general hospital care to around 500,000 people locally and cancer care and other specialist services to a wider population of around 3m people. There are more than 5,000 staff providing care or supporting others to do so and, more than 2,000 people enter the Trust’s hospitals or receive care from us at home or in the community every day. The Trust’s mission is to deliver compassionate, safe care every day and is dedicated to keeping patients at the heart of everything it does. We hope that with the Charity’s assistance, the Trust will be able to go above and beyond what standard NHS funding provides to transform healthcare for people in South West Surrey and beyond.
We continue to receive donations from patients and their visitors, local businesses, charitable trusts, the local community and event participants. We also receive income from “in memory of” donations and legacy gifts. If you think you may wish to support our cause, please do read this report to learn more about our charity, what we do, why we do it and how you in turn, may help us.
OUR MISSION
The charity is registered with the Charity Commission as a main (or umbrella) charity (registered number 1049776), with a number of designated funds beneath the umbrella registration, specific to various wards and departments of the Trust. The purpose of the Charity is:
‘To support services that directly, or have the potential to, benefit patients of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, beyond the standard provided by normal NHS funding.’
We put this into practice by making grants to the Trust for use in:
• Funding advanced, cutting edge equipment.
-
Enhancing the patient experience by improving the environment in wards and departments through building and refurbishment works.
-
Investing in the education and welfare of the Trust’s staff
-
Investing in the education and welfare of the Trust’s patients
In exceptional cases, funding is provided to support medical/administrative posts for a defined period in which the patient benefit can be assessed and if favourable, a case made for future funding by the Trust, for example trialing a new procedure or contributing to the initial costs of establishing a new service.
Grants are made in accordance with charity law and are structured in a manner that ensures existing funds and money raised are used to best effect in supporting the work of the Trust. The charity aims to do this whilst according with donors’ wishes and the Charity’s aims and objectives, ensuring public benefit remains the key determinant of those decisions. During 2021/22, grants totaling £730k (2020/21: £779k) were made.
PUBLIC BEN EFIT STAT E M E NT
The Corporate Trustee confirms that the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit has been referred to when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives, planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. As the financial pressures on the NHS continue, so does the increase in requests for the use of the charity’s funds. It therefore remains a key role of the Trustee/Charitable Funds Committee to discuss, consider and assess the extent of public benefit that can be achieved from each grant request received from the Trust. The Trustee is satisfied that the aims and objectives of the Charity are in the public benefit and are fully in accordance with Charity Law and Charity Commission guidance.
ACHIEVE M E N T S AND PER FO R M A N C E
Royal Surrey Charity raised a total of £967k in 2021/22. Comparatively, the Charity raised over £1.4m in 2020/21, with a significant amount of funding in 202/21 attributed to the direct response to the Covid pandemic.
2021/22 income was further enhanced through an NHS Charities Together grant which has enabled Royal Surrey Charity to lead on a highly effective community health project, alongside other Surrey-based NHS charities, dedicated to supporting 11 local charities that are in turn offering specialist support to patients living in our communities. This project is described below.
A total of £730,399 of charitable funds was spent in 2021/22. The charity continues to work closely with Royal Surrey NHS Foundation staff to ensure that charitable funds offer considerable benefits to Royal Surrey patients. A number of these initiatives are highlighted below.
Highlights of 2021/22 include:
Building and Refurbishment - £152k
• The Wellbeing Cabin £108.7k
The cabin was funded thanks to public donations given during the pandemic to ensure NHS frontline keyworkers were supported during a difficult time. The new cabin offers a tranquil setting for a range of staff health and wellbeing initiatives, including free all-staff health checks, 'Working Well' sessions such as managing stress and burnout, staff network meetings, yoga and tai-chi. In December more than 1,000 Royal Surrey staff visited the cabin over five days, during its transformation into a Winter Wonderland.
Staff Education & Welfare - £174k
• Health & Wellbeing Psychology Service (Working Well Team) - £77k
Royal Surrey Charity is delighted to have funded a clinical health psychology service for NHS staff at Royal Surrey. In recent years, recognition of the extraordinary pressures and challenges which staff working in healthcare face and how these extremely stressful situations can affect staff members and patient outcomes has increased. The new service has helped integrate psychologically informed approaches within teams across the Trust to help shield staff from the effects caused by stressful situations, which will ultimately help support staff wellbeing and improve patient care.
• Health & Wellbeing Counsellor - £10k
The charity part-funded a counsellor role dedicated to delivering support to ward staff and departments that have experienced a disproportionate amount of pressure throughout the pandemic.
• Winterfest - £10k
In December, a socially distanced winter wonderland event for staff was hosted in the new wellbeing cabin in Guildford as well as at separate venues within Milford and Haslemere Community Hospitals. Hardworking NHS staff received festive refreshments, games and thank you gifts.
-
Staff Training Courses - £24k
-
The charity continues to support staff with their training and development, with a focus on helping fund opportunities that are above and beyond the responsibility of the NHS but will still offer benefits to our patients.
Patient Treatment, Experience & Welfare - £60k
-
Frailty Academy - £22k
-
Over £60,000 has recently been awarded to improve care for older people at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. Part of the funding will go towards developing a Frailty Academy, which will provide a framework of training and education so that staff working with older patients are able to better understand, identify and assess frailty – a term used in medicine to identify older people who are more vulnerable to sudden health changes. The service aims to prevent the risk of adverse outcomes associated with frailty, such as falls, disability, admission to hospital, or the need for long-term care.
-
Pledge a Present – £4.8k
- In the week before Christmas, 574 gift bags were delivered to 18 wards at Royal Surrey, as well as to our community hospitals and patients in the community. Our amazing NHS staff then distributed the gifts on Christmas Day, which included: Gloves, socks, hats, individually wrapped chocolates, packets of sweets, puzzle books, pens, packs of cards, shower gel, lip balm,
-
Christmas crackers, hand cream, hairbrushes, cleansing wipes, body sprays, combs and pocket diaries.
Community Grants - £262.4k
- NHS Charities Together Community Partnerships Grants Programme (year 1) Surrey-based projects addressing community health and wellbeing following the pandemic received over £260k in funding, thanks to the NHS Charities Together Community Partnership Grants programme.
A network of six Surrey Heartlands NHS charities, led by Royal Surrey Charity have awarded £483,033 (split over two years) to eleven community projects, run by organisations across the region. The projects selected to receive funding offer specific support to people disproportionately affected by Covid, and address health and wellbeing issues. The following organisations have benefitted from this fantastic initiative:
Be Me Project (£23.3k), East Surrey Domestic Abuse Services (£50k), Emerge Advocacy (£50k), Emmaus Transformation Trust (£46.5k), Family Voice Surrey (£49.9k), Mums and Midwives Awareness Academy (£15.6k), Oakleaf Enterprise (£49.6k), Sight for Surrey (£49.3k), Surrey Coalition of Disabled People (£50k), Westway Community and Well Being Centre (£50k) and Momentum (£48.6k).

FINANCIAL REVIEW – INCOME
Total income for the year to 31 March 2022 was £967k (2020/21: £1,414k).
The chart below compares our sources of income from this year and last year. Further details are provided in note 2 of the financial statements. The key observation are that Legacy and Charitable Trust income decreased, and that the continuing effects of the pandemic meant the Charity was still unable to hold many fundraising events, leading to a continued low level of income from this area. Public donations continue to be our largest source of income. We also acted as the lead charity for the NHS Charities Together Stage 2 Community Partnership Grants which involved receiving Grants totaling £262k and distributing these to Charities within the Community (see above).

EXPENDITURE
Expenditure for the year to 31 March 2022 was £998k (2020/21: £998k). Expenditure on raising funds amounted to £268k (2020/21: £219k) whilst expenditure on charitable activities totaled £730k (2020/21:£779k).
As expected, following another year of uncertainty and Covid-19 recovery, the charity continued to focus its spending on Staff Welfare. We were also nominated as the lead charity to receive and distribute the NHS Charities Together Stage 2 Community Partnerships Funding which is reflected in the significant increase in Community Grants expenditure. The pandemic and recovery from it also led to a decrease in time spent on procuring new equipment and refurbishing patient areas. This is expected to increase in the coming financial year.

PERFORMANCE AND OBJECTIVES
A strong finish to the fundraising year helped ensure that the charity was able to raise a total of £967k for the financial year.
This is an especially inspiring given the challenges faced by the charity sector in 2021/22. Legacies (£206K), made up a significant proportion of income while Individual Giving (£250K) also experienced a significant boost due to the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre Fundraising Campaign and our Pledge a Present appeal.
The legacy of Covid continued to impact on several areas of fundraising with Corporates, Events and Community all proving relatively challenging throughout the year.
Royal Surrey Charity continues to focus on developing its fundraising function and set the foundations for year on year fundraising growth. Ultimately, this will enable the charity to offer even more support to our patients and communities.
FUNDRAISING PERFORMANCE
Individual Giving - £249.9k
Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre - An incredible £83.5k has been raised in 2021/22, predominantly through direct mailing activities organised by local MP; Jeremy Hunt, towards a fundraising campaign for our proposed new Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre. This exciting fundraising campaign is still in its early stages and we are hugely grateful to Jeremy and his team for all their support to date.
Pledge a Present - Our annual Pledge a Present campaign raised over £25k from individual donations.
Community Fundraising - £15.5k
2021/22 continued to be a difficult year for organising community fundraising activities and we are deeply grateful to all our supporters in the community. We’d like to give a special mention
to DJ Scratch (Guildford resident Dave Hitchens) who has been keeping people upbeat throughout the pandemic thanks to his live-streamed DJ sets. His first set played out via Facebook Live, with 500 people watching from the comfort of their own home. Initially Dave raised over £14k for NHS Charities Together. In 2021/22 he turned his focus
to Royal Surrey Charity and has now raised over £8k.
Royal Surrey Charity Events - £9.6k
Due to the post-Covid landscape, the charity continued to be limited with regards to charity organised events. Activities such as our virtual run – Run the World – and our table top sales provided much-needed funds for this area. The charity team have focused on developing the events programme for 2022/23.
External Fundraising Events - £48.5k
The year began slowly with supporters still a little tentative in committing to fundraising events, but as the year progressed we saw more activity in this area. We had supporters taking part in the North Downs Way, Vitality Big Half, London to Brighton Cycle Ride, Great North Run, London Marathon and Great South Run, and £9,000 was raised collectively from these events.
As well as organised mass participation challenge events we also had some incredible fundraisers who organised their own events and challenges. These included our own amazing team from St Luke’s Cancer Centre who took part in a 15,000ft skydive raising over £6,000 for Chilworth Ward.
An amazing group of
fundraisers cycled from Farnham to Hayling Island to raise money for the Neurological Rehabilitation Unit based at Milford Hospital. This was organised by Melissa Brown who raised over £8,500 for the unit, after the wonderful treatment and support that had been given to her sister.
Corporate Fundraising - £24k
Companies have faced a difficult year with external challenges putting pressures on their finances and workforce. Royal Surrey Charity is incredibly grateful to all the companies who have supported us during this period.
Our Christmas appeal, Pledge a Present saw a growth in corporate support with a combined income of £6,000 from companies, including generous support from Peplo Bio and BAE Systems Applied Intelligence Ltd, both companies based on the Surrey Research Park in Guildford.
Fireproof Studio, a Guildford company and longtime supporter, donated £5,000 to Paediatric A&E to help purchase sensory equipment for the benefit of children with learning disabilities and complex needs who come to A&E.
Charitable Trusts - £326k
£262k of charitable Trusts income related to the NHS Charities Together Community Partnerships Grants Programme which Royal Surrey Charity led. The funds were all transferred to support 11 community based projects. The remaining funds came from a variety of Trusts and Foundations.
Legacies - £206k
Legacies continue to have a significant and positive impact on the work of the charity. While Legacy income has dropped considerably compared to previous years, it remains an area of huge importance. This is even more evident during trying times when other traditional fundraising activities are under pressure, as we’ve seen with community and events over the past two years.
Leaving a gift in a Will for charity remains one of the most valued ways in which a supporter can have a lasting impact for future generations, and we are very thankful to everyone who has considered leaving a legacy for Royal Surrey Charity.
FUTURE PLANS/ DEVELOPMENTS SINCE YEAR END
Royal Surrey Charity is working hard to develop all aspects of the charity’s function and to continue to grow our impact on patients and staff at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. We have set an ambitious strategy for 2022/23 and will be working hard to achieve our goals while working closely with all our supporters and staff across the Royal Surrey.
Our fundraising focus will be to diversify income streams and reach new audiences. We’re aware that we need to improve our visibility around the hospitals and ensure patients and visitors are aware of Royal Surrey Charity’s work and how they can support.
Royal Surrey Charity’s key objectives in 2022/23 will be:
-
To increase our generated income year-on-year.
-
To use donations quickly and effectively to deliver on donors’ wishes.
-
To improve the charity’s presence both within our hospital settings and within the local community.
-
To provide key events and activities for patients, staff and supporters to celebrate St Luke’s 25[th] Anniversary.
-
To engage new supporters with the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre campaign.
-
To lead on the NHS Charities Together Community Partnerships Grants Programme (year 2).
-
To help the Trust deliver its strategic goals and True North Objectives.
-
To help to make Royal Surrey a great place to work.
MANAGING THE MONEY
The financial statements have been produced in accordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102 (SORP FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
SORP FRS 102 requires the recognition of three major types of charitable funds:
-
Unrestricted funds - which are spent at the discretion of the Trustee, provided The Charity’s objectives have been satisfied and;
-
Restricted funds - which are only spent in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the donor.
-
Endowment funds – which are held on trust to be retained for the benefit of The Charity as a capital fund. This Charity does not have any endowment funds.
The Charity received £377k in restricted funds during 2021/22, consisting of: Stage 2 Community Partnership Grants from NHS Charities Together - £291k Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre Appeal - £83.5k
Designated funds are unrestricted funds, set aside for a specific purpose, but in an administrative capacity only so the Trustee has the freedom to change their use if the need arises. This allows the Charity to respond flexibly to changing times and circumstances and make more grants to benefit patients and staff.
SORP FRS102 requires three primary accounting statements:
-
Statement of financial activities
-
Balance sheet
-
Cash flow statement
All three statements have been produced and are supported by notes detailing the accounting policies and any additional information.
RESERVES POLICY
The Charity’s reserves policy seeks to balance two requirements: to ensure that funds raised are used promptly to further the Charity’s objectives, and to hold sufficient free reserves to allow the fundraising operations of the Charity to continue for at least one year. Total reserves required are estimated at £600k. This covers administration and fundraising costs (£200k) and general grants (£400k), excluding specific appeals, for a one-year period. These reserves protect the Charity from an unexpected fall in income, although this risk is limited as the Charity does not enter into long-term spending commitments and tailors its expenditure to funds available. In addition, expenditure is closely monitored with no fund manager able to spend funds without it first being reviewed by a member of the Finance team.
The Charity ended the year with funds totaling £2,674k (2020/21: £2,697k). As at March 31st 2022 there were £1,935k (2020/21: £1,436k) of designated funds within the Charity’s unrestricted funds, including a £400k legacy and various other funds covering specific wards and departments within the hospital and £87k in Restricted Funds.
Building works for the St Luke’s Level A refurbishment began in Q2 of 2022-23 and therefore it is expected that the £525k designated for this project will be utilised during this financial year. A ‘Bid 4 Better’ programme was also launched in 2021-22 which provided staff with an opportunity to present ideas requiring funding that would improve patient treatment and experience. £120k was awarded as a result and will be spent during the 2022-23 year. Other projects including the building of a Counselling Room in the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (£24k) and the conclusion of the Chilworth Ward Refurbishment Project (£98k) amongst other exciting refurbishment and equipment purchase plans will also conclude in 2022-23.
The Trustee treats as free reserves those funds that are unrestricted and not designated. Therefore, the level of free reserves as at 31[st] March 2022 was £652k (2020/21: £1,070k).
During 2021/22 there has been a significant decrease in the level of reserves. A huge amount of time and effort was placed on engaging with fund managers to produce accurate and achievable spending plans and to ensure these plans will be actioned. This has resulted in a number of business cases being produced and presented to the Charity for consideration. A number of big projects/purchases are therefore planned to take place in 2022/23 so it is expected that the Charity’s reserves will remain at an appropriate level during the next financial year as designated funds are put to good use. The reserves policy is reviewed by the Trustee annually.
INVESTMENTS POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The Charity’s investments are managed on a day to day basis by Sarasin & Partners within parameters laid down by the Trustee through a management agreement. Investment assets are invested with the objective of maximising the total return in a manner consistent with prudent investment in a diversified portfolio of securities. Quarterly reports are provided by Sarasin & Partners and reviewed by the Trustee. Under the terms of the management agreement, Sarasin & Partners are not permitted to invest in the securities of companies who have significant involvement in the tobacco industry. They may not advise on or execute transactions directly in options, futures or contracts for difference. Neither are they allowed to underwrite on behalf of The Charity.
The investment objective of the ‘Sarasin Endowments Fund’ is to achieve longterm capital and income growth, through a broadly diversified global portfolio. The investment objective of the ‘Sarasin Multi Asset Strategic Fund’ is also to provide growth through an investment in a range of asset classes, but with a more conservative allocation to equities (ranging between 20% and 60%).
The Charity’s investments produced a total return for the year to 31st March 2022 of +3.0% after all fees and costs and +34.4% over the past five years. This return is a combination of two separate portfolios. The long-term portfolio is invested in the Sarasin Endowments Fund, which produced a total return of 4.9% over twelve months. This was behind the index-based benchmark return of 9.1% and the ARC Steady Growth Charity Peer Group return of 6.3%. The medium-term portfolio is invested in the Sarasin Multi Asset Strategic Fund, which is managed on a more conservative basis with a higher fixed income allocation, and produced a total return of -0.5% over the twelve-month period. This return was also behind its own index based benchmark return of +1.8%.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
The valuation carried out for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 saw the Charity make a gain of £8k on its investments in two common investment funds (2020/21:£292k gain). An analysis of investments is provided in note 5 of the financial statements. Investment income for the year amounted to £49k (2020/21: £54k). All these elements combined result in a v alue as at 31 March 2022 for the Charity’s investments of £1,941k (2020/21: £1,929k).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Revised 2015), hereafter referred to as SORP FRS 102, requires the Charity to produce an annual report and accounts in accordance with the legislative requirements set out in the Charities Act 2011 (England and Wales). The accounts presented are in the format laid down by the Charity Commission and are in accordance with the SORP FRS 102. The Charity was established on 1st April 1996, through a transfer of property from the West Surrey Health Authority, and is registered under the Charities Act 2011 (registration number 1049776). This transfer was enacted under Statutory Instrument 1996 No. 1708. The Charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 5 March 1998 and includes funds in respect of the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
The Charity’s governing document is a declaration of trust dated 4th August 1995.
OUR TRUSTEE
The Corporate Trustee of the Charity is the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, whose registered address is Egerton Road, Guildford, Surrey GU2 7XX.
The Trustee consists of a Board of Directors of which every voting member has a vote on all matters affecting the Charity. The Trust’s Board aims to meet in its capacity as the Charity Corporate Trustee at least twice a year. The Trustee has been appointed under section 11 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 and acts as Corporate Trustee of the funds held on trust under schedule 2, paragraph 16c, of this Act.

When a person is appointed to the Board of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, they automatically become part of the voting constitution of the Charity. They are not independently appointed by the Charity. Newly appointed members of the Corporate Trustee normally attend Trustee training and a presentation from the Charity’s Investment Manager covering Trustee awareness and responsibilities. Terms of reference for the Trustee have been developed and are reviewed annually which clearly set out the roles and responsibilities of the Corporate Trustee.
RISK ASSESSMENT
The Corporate Trustee has undertaken a risk assessment as required under the SORP FRS102. The following have been identified as the main risks facing the Charity:
-
Income targets not achieved.
-
Reduced fundraising income due to external economic factors.
-
Financial risk due to investment volatility.

Breach of GDPR
Systems have been put in place to mitigate these risks:
-
A detailed income strategy is developed to set out how the income targets are to be achieved. From this strategy, a plan is developed with regular reports provided to the Charitable Funds Committee on progress against plan. This enables corrective action to be taken where appropriate.
-
The investment portfolio is held in two common investment funds. Quarterly reports are received on investment performance from the fund manager. Liquidity levels are constantly reviewed to ensure there is sufficient liquidity within the portfolio to meet future demand. The Investment Manager attends a Trustee meeting annually to explain performance and future strategy of the funds.
-
All invoices are reviewed to ensure delegated limits are observed by fund administrators. Mechanisms are in place to escalate authorisation when necessary.
-
Participants in fundraising activities are fully informed of their role and responsibilities towards the Charity when agreeing to participate in a fundraising event. The Charity registration number, logo and merchandise are provided.
-
All collection tins are numbered, sealed, registered and signed both out and in by the Fundraising Department. Any stolen tins are notified to the police. Liability insurance has been put in place by a specialist broker to cover this risk.
-
Gift Aid declarations are obtained where income is eligible for tax recovery before a claim is submitted to HMRC.
-
A full GDPR exercise has been undertaken to ensure supporters on our database want to be contacted and in what format. Contacts with a legitimate interest who h a v e not responded have been contacted separately.

OUR ADVISORS
The following professional advisers have been employed during the financial year:
Bankers The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc Guildford Branch 10 North Street Guildford GU1 4AF
Lloyds Bank Guildford Branch 147 High Street Guildford GU1 3AG
Internal Auditors
BDO LLP 55 Baker Street London W1U 7EU
Investment Managers Sarasin & Partners LLP Juxon House 100 St Paul’s Churchyard London EC4M 8BU
External Auditor
KPMG LLP Public Sector Audit 15 Canada Square Canary Wharf London E14 5GL
The Charity does not have a dedicated internal audit function as the volume of transactions does not justify the costs associated with such a function. A review of systems and controls is carried out periodically, the last one being carried out during the 2015/16 reporting period by the internal auditor, with the findings and recommendations reported to the Charity. Expenditure relating to raising funds saw an increase in 2021/2022 compared to the previous financial year. This represents further investment from the charity towards developing its fundraising functions with a view to increase long-term fundraising support.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These are set out on the following pages and show the respective responsibilities of the Trustee and Auditor in relation to the Financial Statements.
Signed on behalf of the Trustee
Date 4 January 2023
Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the Trustee’s annual report and the financial statements
Under charity law, the trustee is responsible for preparing a Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The 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 trustee:
-
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 trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed 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 at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustee 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 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.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of Royal Surrey County Hospital Charitable Fund
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Royal Surrey County Hospital Charitable Fund (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditor under section 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The trustee has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).
In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
Our conclusions based on this work:
-
we consider that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;
-
we have not identified, and concur with the trustee’s assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.
Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect
22
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
-
Enquiring of trustee, other management and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
Reading Charitable Funds Committee minutes.
-
Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because there is minimal complexity in revenue recognition or incentives for management to seek to manipulate revenue as commitments are not made in advance of funding being available.
We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
We performed procedures including identifying journal entries to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included those posted to unusual accounts, unusual cash account combinations, journals posted with no description, and material post year end journals.
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement related to compliance with laws and regulations
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the trustee and other management (as required by auditing standards), and discussed with the trustee and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation), and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Whilst the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations, we did not identify any others where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustee and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation
23
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Other information
The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if:
-
based solely on that work, we have identified material misstatements in the other information; or
-
in our opinion, the information given in the Trustee’s Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Trustee’s responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 21, the trustee is responsible for: the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view; 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; 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 they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities
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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
24
considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee as a body, in accordance with section 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2021/22
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Accounting Convention
The Charity is a public benefit entity.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain investments, and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and policies for the NHS approved by the Secretary of State and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2015) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued by the Charities Commissioners in 2019.
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 in October 2019 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 2019.
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 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 in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the 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 committments and no committed costs beyond its fixed costs of operation which are detailed in Note 3.4. The Trustee has reviewed the cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the charity will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The Trustee has also considered the implications of COVID-19 on these cash flow forecasts and consider that as a result of its operating model explained above, even if no futher funding is received in the 12 month period, the charity has sufficient cash reserves to pay all committed costs.
1.2 Incoming Resources
- a) Donations
Income from non-exchange transactions (gifts) are donations of money, goods, facilities or services which are given freely to The Charity by a donor. All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met:
- i) entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or The Charity's right becomes legally enforceable;
ii) probable - when there is reasonable probability that the incoming resource will be received;
iii) measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Gifts in Kind
-
iv) Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Statement of Financial Activities only when distributed.
-
v) Assets given for use by the funds (e.g. property for its own occupation) are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources when receivable.
-
vi) Gifts made in kind but on 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 market value or the amount actually realised.
29
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2021/22
1.2 Incoming Resources (continued)
- b) Legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.
Where a legacy has been made to The Charity but the legacy is subject to a life interest, the income is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities until the life interest has come to an end.
Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be 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.
- c) Other Trading Activities
This income is recognised on sale of goods and for events in line with when they take place.
- d) Investment Income
Investment income is recognised when receivable and allocated to funds in accordance with their investment holding.
1.3 Resources Expended
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 resulting from a past event. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
a) Raising funds
The cost of raising funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust. This will include the costs associated with fundraising activities, including staff directly involved. Staff costs are apportioned on the basis of time spent fundraising for specific funds.
b) Charitable activities
Charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Charitable Grants payable are payments made to the Royal Surrey County Hospital in the furtherance of the funds held on trust's charitable objectives to support the service provided by the hospital. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the hospital has a reasonable expectation that it will
c) Support costs
Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These are accounted for on an accruals basis and are the recharges of appropriate proportions of salaries, external audit and internal audit fees (if applicable) incurred by the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Costs are allocated to funds by way of an apportionment of the cost according to the average balance of each respective fund and split between cost of raising funds and charitable activities. The analysis of support costs and the basis of apportionment applied are shown in note 3.
Governance Costs : previously, these had been separately analysed on the face of the statement of financial activity. Governance costs are now classified as a support costs and have therefore been apportioned between fundraising activities and charitable activities.
30
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2021/22
1.4 Structure of Funds
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be used, 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 itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the Trustee has chosen to earmark for set purposes or which reflect the non-binding wishes of donors are classified as designated funds. All other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 8.
1.5 Fixed Assets
The Charity does not own any fixed assets.
1.6 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. The Charity's investments comprise of two common investment funds, with the underlying investments made up of quoted stocks and shares.
1.7 Realised and Unrealised 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).
1.8 Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to The Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
1.9 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.
1.10 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.
1.11 Change in the Basis of Accounting
There has been no change in the basis of accounting during the year.
1.12 Prior Year Adjustments
There are no prior year adjustments reported in this financial year.
31
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2021/22
1.13 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is included in Resources Expended.
1.14 Related Party Transactions
The Charity made revenue and capital payments to the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the Corporate Trustee of The Charity. The Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides financial services and fundraising support to the Charity, which are dealt with as financial recharges and disclosed within note 3 of The Charity's accounts. As at 31 March 2022 £48k (31 March 2020 £143k) was owed by The Charity to the Trust in respect of payments made by the Trust on behalf of The Charity.
Royal Surrey County Hospital Board members during 2021/22 and up to the date of the annual report:
L Stead - Chief Executive Officer S Sjuve - Chair (NED) A Prince - Deputy Chair (NED) R Dunworth - Director of Finance J Mountjoy - Chief Nurse M Illsley - Medical Director ( - October 2021) B Jewsbury - Medical Director (October 2021) R Peet - Chief Operating Officer ( - November 2021) N Sands - Chief Operating Officer (November 2021) L Hall - Director of HR & Organisational Transformation G Bagley - Senior Non-Executive Director ( - October 2021) L Jemmett - Non_Executive Director D Hicks - Non-Executive Director ( - March 2022) H Webber - Non-Executive Director M Hedley - Non-Executive Director J Dutchman-Bailey - Non-Executive Director (June 2021) B Russell - Non-Executive Director (May 2021)
During the year, neither the Trustee or members of the key management staff or parties related to them have undertaken any material transactions with the Royal Surrey County Hospital Charitable Trust.
1.15 Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Schedule 6, Paragraph 1 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, The Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 10 of the Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Charitable Gains Act, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.5 Role of volunteers
Fund administrator – there are approximately 100 RSCH FT staff who manage how the Charity’s unrestricted and designated funds are spent. Each fund administrator has delegated powers to spend the funds that they manage, in accordance with the donors wishes, up to a value of £5,000. Fund administrators who wish to spend more than £5,000 are required to produce a business case for the Trust's Chief Executive/Charitable Funds Committee/Charity Trustee setting out what impact it will have in terms of furthering the charity's objectives.
Fundraisers - there are about 15 local volunteers who actively support the fundraising team with various fundraising events and activities. The fundraisers also distribute and retrieve collecting tins in the local community. During 2020/21, these arrangements stopped but we have kept in touch with them and hope to resume fundraising activity in the near future.
In accordance with the SORP FRS 102, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

14. Other
On a historic basis donations and legacies cannot be relied upon to meet the financial objectives of the Charity. Expenditure plans from all administrators will be obtained each year and compared against the available funds held by The Charity. Where the funds exceed the budgeted expenditure the Trustee will invest the funds in line with its investment policy. Where the balance of funds exceeds the budgeted expenditure set out in the annual plan, by a significant margin, the Trustee will request a business plan from the administrator of the fund justifying the level of reserves held. The Trustee will consider whether this level of reserve is justified in the light of the proposed business plan and will take appropriate action. The Trustee will review this policy annually and in the light of guidance that may be set by the Charity Commission from time to time.
