Risk Manxgement
Major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and assessed, with systems
being put in place to mitigat¢ those risks. Any risks associated with the Charity are included
within the Trust's risk register. One of the signifI¢ant risks of the Charity was the risk of a fall in
the value of investni¢nts, especially equiti¢5. The Charitable Funds Cornmittee has now dispoKd
of 811 investments.
Expenditure is closely monitored. no fund manager is able to expend funds without the request
first being checked by the Finance Department who ensur¢ that funds are available. Fund
Managers are authorised by the committ¢e to oversee the day-104lay management of such funds
within clearly defined spending limits. Income is also monitored to check whether the levels of
in¢ome are as exp¢cted and if not, then spending plans are amended accordingly.
tn terms of th¢ coronavirus pandemic, new research published by NCVO shows that the impact
on charitable organisations has ￿eft "uneven and unpredictable" and warns of projerted declines
in tunding from all income sources in the next financial year. The research also underlines ihat
while the pandemic has put the sector under immense pressure, individual charities. experiences
vary widely- nearly a third (310/) of respondents have reported an increase in total income since
last year. while 47 /0 said income had dropped. And while 33 /0 of respondents say their financial
position had deteriorated over the past monih, nearly half (48 /0) said it wa5 unchanged, and 18Y
report￿ an improvement.

For Brighier Futures the biggest impact was on its event programme with the cancellation of
planned events in 2020121 equating to a loss of approximately £80.000. However, this loss of
income was mitigated by the volume of donations made to the COVID-19 Support Appeal. Th¢
COVID-19 Support Appeal raised £138.200 from public donations and £216.800 from successthl
grant applications from NHS Charities Together.
Partnership Working
Th¢ Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main beneficiary of the Charity and
is a related party by virtue of being the Corporate Truslee. By WOTking in partnership with the
Trust and the other beneficiaries, namely Wiltshire Health and Care LLP. the Charitable Funds
are used to best effect. When deciding upon the best use ot the Charitable Funds, the CorrKtrrate
Trustee takes into consideration th¢ main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of the
proposed beneficiary.
The funds held on behalf of Wiltshire Health & Care LLP are managed with their own approval
process which is then ratified by the Great Western Hospitals Charity Committee. subject to
funds being available.
The charity is currently holding £2.5m raised for Radiotherapy equipment on behalf of Oxford
University Hospitals Foundation Trust (OUH). The money raised will purchase k¢y Clinical
equipment in the Radiotherapy Centre. The funds will be transferred to OUH at an appropriale
poinl in the future, but this has not yet been agreed between th¢ parties. The majority of this
will be used to purchase a LINAC machine. The remainder will be transferred to Oxford
University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust when appropriate.
Objeetiv&¥ Strategy for the Public BeDefit
The Charity's group fund has NHS aligned objectives As follows..
The Trustee shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion, so
far as may b¢ pennissible. the capital, for any charitable purpose or pury)oses relating to the
National Health S¢rvi¢e (hcreinafter referred to ag "the objecls").
The Charitable Funds Committee has agreed th¢ following Strategic Aims:
To enhance the environmeni for staff and patients, in which health services can be
delivered effectively.
To enable staff and carers caring for patients to benefit from education and facilities not
nonnally available within the NHS resource envelope.
To donate additional equipment and staffing to the Trust and other beneficiaries over and
above the NHS r¢50UTce envelope.
To spend funds in accordance with Charity Commission best practice and in support of

These aims are used by the Charitable Funds Committee wthen deciding on the suitability of a

Wiltshire Health and Care.

The trustee has referred to the guidance contaTned in the Charity Commission's general guidance
on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future
tivities. All Charities ar¢ also required by the Charity Commission to demonslrate how they
pass the 'public benefit test..
There must be an identifiable benefit.
Th¢ benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.
The Charity's objects and activiti¢s are considered when cases are made for expenditure or
when fundraising, to ensure that the patients, relatives and stsff of the NHS Twst are benefited
either dir¢¢tly or Indi￿Cl1Y b}, the work of the Charity.
In general. spending directly benefits patients with Ihe provision of new equipment, facilitles
and a better train¢d workforce, all of which contribute to enhanced care. Staff or relatives
benefit from improved ski115 and facilities also enabling the delivery of better care.
Annual Review: Our Aetivltl£s
Every year we are astounded by the generosity of our patients and their relatives. staff and
members of the public who devote their time and ¢ffort ¢0 fundraise for our Hospital and
Community Health Servi¢¢. That generosity has helped to purchase new equipment and improve
f￿llItIeS benefitting boih our patients and staff and enabled nursing, medical and support stsff to
attend courses and share n¢w id¢as. The purchases were varled, were of a kind that the NHS
would not be able to fund all enhanced patient ca￿.
Donations that come into the Hospital are placed into a Tange of funds which are designated for
specific areas of work or wards within the TrusL with some donations held in a Gen¢ral Fund.
The Great Weslern Hospitsl General Fund is for the general benefit of patients and staff at the
Great Western Hospital and as such has funded vArious initiatives and equipment purchases to
support new service developtnents leading to improved practices and enhanced patient care.
The Charity benefits from a dedicated fundraising team to generate additional income across all
funds, lead major fundraising appeals and meet the growing demands for funding. During the
financial year 2020121 the charity has raised £138,200 from public donations and a further
£216,800 from grdnts from NHS Charities Together to the COVID-19 Support Appeal. £13,000
was raised as part of the Better Births Appeal helping to purchase 18 adjustable height cots for
the Maternity Unit and £4.300 was raised by the Demenlia Appeal to support the PUT¢has¢ of
Dementia ¢lo¢ks and a RITA (Reminiscent Interactive Therapeutic Activity) machine.
Following the stsrt of the Radiother4py Centre build two significant pledges were realised with
£40.000 from The Thomas Freke and Lady Norton Charity and £22,5C￿) from Greenham Trust -
the first in5talment to be given from a total £63,000 pledge via the Good Exchange (with th¢
remaining £40,500 due to be paid in two lump sums during 202112022 fmancial year). A further
£208.000 was released directly to Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust from an
International Rotary Global Grant which matched money raAs¢d by the Rolary Clubs of Swindon.
A number of Income str¢ams have been used to generate funds including corporate fundraising,
applications lo other Charitsble Trusls and Foundations, virtual events and sponsorship,
supporting community fundraisers, mailing appeals and promoting leg￿leS or donations in
memory of a loved one or in celebration of an o¢¢asAon. Specific fundraising ¢vents organiscd
during 2020121 includ¢d a staff team fitness competition , a virtual Christmas themed fun-nm.
and a Christmas raffle. These initiatives have ¢ffectively raised the profile of the Charity and
significanily contributed to the total incoming resourc¢s to 31 March 2021.

Grant Making Poli¢y
Grants are awarded on a case by case basis judged on how well they support ih¢ strat¢gic aims
of the Charity tn accordance with donor restri¢tions. The intended use of th¢ grant must be cost
effective and enhance the service or facilities provided for stsff and patient5, beyond that which
15 nornially provided, in order to improve standard5 of care and patient ¢xp¢rienGe.
The Corporate Trustee operates a scheme of delegation thmugh which all grants only be
awarded by those members with the necessary authority to do so. In cases where the gr4nt is
intended for employing slatf or is above the predefined limit of five thousand pounds the dward
decision must be taken by the Charitable Funds Commtttee. In all other cases Outside of these
limits, the Fund Managers have delegated responsibility for the disbursements of funds.
The majority of grants are made from the Charity's Restricted Funds. These comprise of two
elemenls..
a) The Registered ReslTiCted General Funds of the Great Western Hospital and the Swindon
& Wiltshire Community Areas: These contain gifts and donations, where the restriction
is that the funds rnay be used principally for the benefit of patients and staff at the Great
W¢st¢rn Hospital and within th¢ wider Wiltshire community areas.
b) Other Registered RestrA¢ted Funds: These fijnds have been donated to a particular
speciality, ward or pu￿08e. The medical services fund is an example of such a fund.
Fund managers that have been authorised by the committe¢. oversee the daY-t￿daY
rnanag¢m¢nt of such funds. within ¢l¢arly d¢fined spending limits.
All grdnt¥ with the exception of those related to Wiltshire Health & Care Charitsble Funds. are
made to Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation TrusL with the Funds being administered by
The Great Westem Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund. Grants relating to
Wiltshir¢ Health & Care Charitable Funds are administered by a committee within Wiltshire
Health & Care and subsequently ratified by the Trust Charitable Funds Committee.
Reserves Policy
Free reserve4 are that part of the Charity's UTJrestricted funds as defined by the TnLSte¢, and are
those that are available to utilise on acttvities for the benefit of the public in furtherance ot the
Charity's objectives but which are not yet designated for a specific purw)se. The total free
reserves as at 31 March 2021 was £166,000 compattd with £149.000 for the year ending 31
March 2020 and there are no material commitments.
The Trustee believes reserves should be maintained at a minimum level around £70,000 based
on an average of four months norni&l expendi￿re and the available cash balance. Thts is
considered to b¢ an appropriate timeframe in which to source alternative funding streams and the
policy is reviewed regularly in light of any new opportunities. Thiq level of reserves meets the
needs of the Charity and enabl¢s the Trustee to consider application5 for funding as and when
they arise.
Free reserves are higher than the identified required l¢v¢l but the Charity has approved funding
forvarious longer-terni projects during the year which are designated but not spent as at 31 March
2021.
The Corpyfrrate Trustee is aware that funds should be spent on charitable activities within 2
reasonable period of time and, through the Charitable Funds Committee, ensures that funds are

spent and not savd unless a fund manager has a specific pury)ose for which they wish to save
and have received pennission from the Committe¢ to do so.
Future Plans
In 2019 the Great West¢Tn NHS Foundation Trust launched ils refreshed strategy "Our Strategy
2019 - 2024" a coming together and sharing of thoughts and ideas for how our local health
service will meet future challenges. The uliimate goal is to join up care for patients to improve
their outcornes, keep people well for longer and do it with care and ¢ompassion. ensuring that by
working together the local NHS is greater than the sum of its parts.
The charity enables the Greht Western NHS Foundation Trust to realisc patient benefit much
sooner by: enhancing the environment for patients and stsff in which health services can be
delivered- enabling carcrs and staff caring for patients to beneffftt from education and facilities
not nornially available within the NHS funding, and. providing additional equipment and staffing
to the Trust above the NHS funding envelope.
Over the next three years the charity will continue to support the Great Western Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust by focusing on five key strategic priorities l) Innovation. 2) Cancer Service
Development. 3) Elderly Care, 4) Better births and 5) Wellbeing. During the financial year
202112022 the charity will continue to rn1s¢ rnoney to purchase four new wireless foetal heart
monitor5 and a birthing bed for our Matemity Unlt. Planned fundraising will continue on the
Dementia Appeal to purchase Dementia clocks. a RITA machine and inpatient activity kits. In
addition. monies will be secured through approaches to private donors to support the purchase
of a CT S¢iumer for the n¢w Radiotherapy C¢ntre.
Covid-19 has presented rhallenges never experienced before, but it has also provided a chance
to be l)old and seize on new opportunities. W¢ have adapted to meeting the n¢¢ds of our hospital,
its pati¢nts and its staff while changing how we work by doing more virtual actives and working
mor¢ fl¢xibly. Overih¢ coming 12 months we will continue to r¢spond and supp)rt the hospilal's
needs, our events programme will flex to ofter virtual and physical ¢ven£5 and we will seek out
opportunities for our supporters to donate to projects that help support our staff and patients
during the pandemic with a focus on health and wellbeing.
Although for many charities COIVID-19 has had a negative impact, for the NHS the country has
seen an outpouring of support and a greater appreciation of the service our health care workers
provide the nation. For Brighter Futures it has help¢d improve our brand awareness locally
moving us away from the misperception that we w¢r¢ a cancer charity raising money just for the
radiotherapy appeal to a local health eare charity 5UPPOrting the NHS and community h¢alth care
teams in Swindon and the surrounding areas.

Performanee Management
The Charity does not employ any staff bui Great Westem H05pits15 NHS Foundation Trust
provides accounting and administration services. From 2012 the Trust has employed an
Associate Director of Fundraising who 15 r¢sponsible for raising the profile of th¢ Charity and
for identifying new revenue streams, as well as working with fund managers and other staff in
the Trust on specific fundraising projects. The Associate Director of Fundraising reports to the
Charitable Funds Committee on a quarterly basis. The Trust has also recruited additional
fundraising staff to support the proposed additional fundraising required going fonvard.
The Charity reqUI￿S Fund Managers to supply the Charitsble Funds Committ¢e with spending
plans and, at each committee meeting, the Committe¢ receive updaies on indlvidual fund
balances which they scrutinise closely. The Committe¢ will call before them any Fund Manager
who they believe is not spending their funds in an appropriate manner and have the right to
remove any Fund Manager they believe is not acting in the best interest of the Charity. In Cases
where Fund Manag¢rs have requested pem)ission to save funds for a specific projecL the
Committee requires them to produce progress updates where appropriat¢.
16
Jnvestment Policy
The Corporate Trustee has delennined the investm¢nt policy, in 50 far is reasonable, to avoid
undue risk to the r¢al value of ihe capital and income of the portfolio after allowing for inflation.
Due lo the on-going economic uncertainty and very low interest rates the Cory)orate Trustee has
prioritised securing funds over investing for returns. All remaining investments have been
converted into cash as it 15 ¢xpected that £2.8m will be transferred to Oxford Univ¢tsity Hospitals
NHS Foundation Tnjst at an appropriate point in the future in relation to funds raised for
radioth¢rapy equipment.
In addition, the Trust has opened a GBS bank account to ensure maximum protection.
When ¢conomic un¢ert&inty reduces adequately, funds may be invested short-terni in a five-5tar
Charity Account or longer temi in equities and bonds. The perfonnance of all investments ar¢
monitored and rewrted on a quarterly basis to the Charitable Funds Committee. Plc&se see Note
io to the accounts for d¢tails of the other investments.

On behalf of staff and patients who have benefited from improved services due to the receipt of
donations and legacies, the CoryK)rate Trnstee would lik¢ to thank all of those who hav¢ mad¢
charitable donations.

Independent auditor's report to the Trustee of Grelt Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Charitable Fund
OpiDIOII
We have audited the financial statements of Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable
Fund ('the charity,) for the year ended 31 March 2021 whtch comprise the Statement of Flnanctal
Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes lo the financial statements, including
significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparalion is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Siandards, including Financial Reporting
Standard 102 The Finuncial Reporling Siandard applicable in ihe UK andRepublic ofIreland (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for th¢ year then
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Awepted Accounting
Practice. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordan¢e with IDternatiQDal Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit ot the tinancial statements section of our rew)rt. We are ind¢pendent of
the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the fmancial
slatements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Stsndard, and we have fulfilled our otheT ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we hav¢
obtained is sutTicient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going ￿ncern
In auditing th¢ financial stslements. we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the fJnanGial slatements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or ¢onditions that, individually or ¢oll￿tiVely. May cast significant doubt on Ihe charity's ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of at l¢ast twelve months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are d¢s¢rib¢d
in the relevant Sections of this rq)ort.
Other information
The other infonnation comprises the infonnation included in the trustee's annu&l report, oth¢r than the
financial statem¢Dts and our auditor's report thereon. The trustee is responsible for th¢ other
inforniation contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial stalements does not cover
the other inforn)ation and, except to the extent othenvise explicitly st&ted in our report, we do not
express any foTm of assurance Conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other inforniation and. in doing so. consider whether the other
infom]ation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in th¢
ourse of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such mat¢rial
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to detemilne whether this gives
rise to a material misstatement in the financial ststements themselves. If, based on the work we have
perfomed. we conclude that there is a material mi551atement of this other inforn]ation, we ar¢ required
to report that fact.

Matters on whieh we are reqnired to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in r¢lation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requir¢ us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the inforniation given in the fman¢ial statements is inconsislent in any material respect with th¢
trustee's report. or
the charity has noi kept ad¢quate accounting records. or
the financial stalements are not in agreement with the accounting r¢¢ords and returns. or
we have not received all the infonnation and explanations w¢ require for our audiL
Responsibilities of the trustee
As explain¢d more fully in the trustee's responsibilities statement set out on page I l. the trustee is
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true
and fair vi¢w, and for such internal control as the twstee deterniines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial sts¢ements that are free from matcrial misststement, whether due to fraud or
¢rror.
In preparing the financial statements, the Inistee is responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
conlinue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters relaled to gofftng concern and using the
going wn¢ern basis of accounting unless ihe trnstee either int¢nds to liquidate the charity OT to cease
operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responsibilities for the gudit of the fin8n¢ial statsments
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordan¢¢
with regulations made under section 154 of thai Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement. whether du¢ to fraud or e￿or. and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misslatements can arise from fraud or ¢Tror and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud. ar¢ instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities. including fraud. The specifJ¢ pro¢edures for this engagement and the
extent to which these are capable of det￿tIng trregularitles, including fraud is detailed below:
We have considered:
the nature of the charity and Sector, control environment and operating perfomiance.
the charity's own assessmenL including assessments made by key management, of the risks that
irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or em)r;
any matters we identified having reviewed th¢ charity's policies and procedures relating to:
o identifying. evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were
aware of any instances of non-compliance.
det¢Gting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleg¢d fraud. and
o ihe internal controls established to mitigate risks of frdud or nOn￿o￿P11ancc with laws and
regulaÉion5-
the matters discussed amongst the audit engagement team.
As a result of these procedur¢s. we considered the optK)rtunittes and incentiv¢s that may exisl within
the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the areas in which
management is required to ¢xercise significant judgement, such as recognition of income. In common
13

with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are a150 required to perfonn specific procedures to respond to the
risk ofmanagement overrid¢.
We also obtaiT]ed an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in.
focusing on provisions of ihose laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the deterniination of
material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key law and regulation we
considered in this Gont¢xl was the Charities Act.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all itr¢gularitie4
including those leading to a material misstafrrnent in the financial ststements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is reTnoved from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware
of instarjces of non-compliance. The risk 15 also greater regarding I￿egularitICS occurring due to fraud
rather ihan error, as fraud involves intentlonal concealment, forgery, Gollusion, omission or
misreptesentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website
at: httPS:l/www.frc.org.uklOur-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assuran¢¢lStandards-and-guidancelStandards-
and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditor8-reqpon8ibilitie8-for-auditlDescription-of-auditors-responsibilities-
for-audit.aspx. This description fornis part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This rewtrrt is made solely to th¢ Charity's trustee. in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts
and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to th¢
charity's trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no oiher
purpose. To the fullest extent perniltted by law, we do not accept or assume resw>nsibilAty to anyone
oth¢r than the charity and the charity's trustee, for our audit work, for this repo¢ or for the opinions we
have fornied.

Structure, Governance and Management
Th¢ Charity's unreslricted fund was established using the model declaration of trust. The
restricted thnds wete separately registered under the group Charity. All funds held at the dat¢ of
registration either forned part of the unrestricted or restricted funds. Subsequent donations and
gifts r¢ceiv¢d by th¢ Charity that are attributable to the original funds have been added to those
nd balances within the existing charity.
The Corporate Trustee fijlfils its legal dury by ensuryng that fijnds are spent in accordance with
the objects of each fund and by designating funds, in this way the Trustee is able to respect the
wishes of the donors, to benefit patient care and advance the good health and welfare of patients
and sthff. The charitable funds available for sp¢nding are held within the nine registered charities

and Care LLP.

Board. Core membership of the Charitable Funds Committee consists of the Trustee Chair. a
Non-ExeGutive Director appointed by ihe Trust Board; and the Chief Executive. Members of the
TnLSt Board and the Charitsble Funds Committee are not individual Trustees under Charity Law.

Risk Manxgement
Major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and assessed, with systems
being put in place to mitigat¢ those risks. Any risks associated with the Charity are included
within the Trust's risk register. One of the signifI¢ant risks of the Charity was the risk of a fall in
the value of investni¢nts, especially equiti¢5. The Charitable Funds Cornmittee has now dispoKd
of 811 investments.
Expenditure is closely monitored. no fund manager is able to expend funds without the request
first being checked by the Finance Department who ensur¢ that funds are available. Fund
Managers are authorised by the committ¢e to oversee the day-104lay management of such funds
within clearly defined spending limits. Income is also monitored to check whether the levels of
in¢ome are as exp¢cted and if not, then spending plans are amended accordingly.
tn terms of th¢ coronavirus pandemic, new research published by NCVO shows that the impact
on charitable organisations has ￿eft "uneven and unpredictable" and warns of projerted declines
in tunding from all income sources in the next financial year. The research also underlines ihat
while the pandemic has put the sector under immense pressure, individual charities. experiences
vary widely- nearly a third (310/) of respondents have reported an increase in total income since
last year. while 47 /0 said income had dropped. And while 33 /0 of respondents say their financial
position had deteriorated over the past monih, nearly half (48 /0) said it wa5 unchanged, and 18Y
report￿ an improvement.

For Brighier Futures the biggest impact was on its event programme with the cancellation of
planned events in 2020121 equating to a loss of approximately £80.000. However, this loss of
income was mitigated by the volume of donations made to the COVID-19 Support Appeal. Th¢
COVID-19 Support Appeal raised £138.200 from public donations and £216.800 from successthl
grant applications from NHS Charities Together.
Partnership Working
Th¢ Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main beneficiary of the Charity and
is a related party by virtue of being the Corporate Truslee. By WOTking in partnership with the
Trust and the other beneficiaries, namely Wiltshire Health and Care LLP. the Charitable Funds
are used to best effect. When deciding upon the best use ot the Charitable Funds, the CorrKtrrate
Trustee takes into consideration th¢ main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of the
proposed beneficiary.
The funds held on behalf of Wiltshire Health & Care LLP are managed with their own approval
process which is then ratified by the Great Western Hospitals Charity Committee. subject to
funds being available.
The charity is currently holding £2.5m raised for Radiotherapy equipment on behalf of Oxford
University Hospitals Foundation Trust (OUH). The money raised will purchase k¢y Clinical
equipment in the Radiotherapy Centre. The funds will be transferred to OUH at an appropriale
poinl in the future, but this has not yet been agreed between th¢ parties. The majority of this
will be used to purchase a LINAC machine. The remainder will be transferred to Oxford
University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust when appropriate.
Objeetiv&¥ Strategy for the Public BeDefit
The Charity's group fund has NHS aligned objectives As follows..
The Trustee shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion, so
far as may b¢ pennissible. the capital, for any charitable purpose or pury)oses relating to the
National Health S¢rvi¢e (hcreinafter referred to ag "the objecls").
The Charitable Funds Committee has agreed th¢ following Strategic Aims:
To enhance the environmeni for staff and patients, in which health services can be
delivered effectively.
To enable staff and carers caring for patients to benefit from education and facilities not
nonnally available within the NHS resource envelope.
To donate additional equipment and staffing to the Trust and other beneficiaries over and
above the NHS r¢50UTce envelope.
To spend funds in accordance with Charity Commission best practice and in support of
the Trust's and other beneficiaries, stated values and fIve-year vision.
These aims are used by the Charitable Funds Committee wthen deciding on the suitability of a
proposed project and their fulfilment would not be possible without the supwrt of patieT]ts.
carers. Staff, the local community, voluntsry organisations, and local businesses of the Tnjst and
Wiltshire Health and Care.

The trustee has referred to the guidance contaTned in the Charity Commission's general guidance
on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future
tivities. All Charities ar¢ also required by the Charity Commission to demonslrate how they
pass the 'public benefit test..
There must be an identifiable benefit.
Th¢ benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.
The Charity's objects and activiti¢s are considered when cases are made for expenditure or
when fundraising, to ensure that the patients, relatives and stsff of the NHS Twst are benefited
either dir¢¢tly or Indi￿Cl1Y b}, the work of the Charity.
In general. spending directly benefits patients with Ihe provision of new equipment, facilitles
and a better train¢d workforce, all of which contribute to enhanced care. Staff or relatives
benefit from improved ski115 and facilities also enabling the delivery of better care.
Annual Review: Our Aetivltl£s
Every year we are astounded by the generosity of our patients and their relatives. staff and
members of the public who devote their time and ¢ffort ¢0 fundraise for our Hospital and
Community Health Servi¢¢. That generosity has helped to purchase new equipment and improve
f￿llItIeS benefitting boih our patients and staff and enabled nursing, medical and support stsff to
attend courses and share n¢w id¢as. The purchases were varled, were of a kind that the NHS
would not be able to fund all enhanced patient ca￿.
Donations that come into the Hospital are placed into a Tange of funds which are designated for
specific areas of work or wards within the TrusL with some donations held in a Gen¢ral Fund.
The Great Weslern Hospitsl General Fund is for the general benefit of patients and staff at the
Great Western Hospital and as such has funded vArious initiatives and equipment purchases to
support new service developtnents leading to improved practices and enhanced patient care.
The Charity benefits from a dedicated fundraising team to generate additional income across all
funds, lead major fundraising appeals and meet the growing demands for funding. During the
financial year 2020121 the charity has raised £138,200 from public donations and a further
£216,800 from grdnts from NHS Charities Together to the COVID-19 Support Appeal. £13,000
was raised as part of the Better Births Appeal helping to purchase 18 adjustable height cots for
the Maternity Unit and £4.300 was raised by the Demenlia Appeal to support the PUT¢has¢ of
Dementia ¢lo¢ks and a RITA (Reminiscent Interactive Therapeutic Activity) machine.
Following the stsrt of the Radiother4py Centre build two significant pledges were realised with
£40.000 from The Thomas Freke and Lady Norton Charity and £22,5C￿) from Greenham Trust -
the first in5talment to be given from a total £63,000 pledge via the Good Exchange (with th¢
remaining £40,500 due to be paid in two lump sums during 202112022 fmancial year). A further
£208.000 was released directly to Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust from an
International Rotary Global Grant which matched money raAs¢d by the Rolary Clubs of Swindon.
A number of Income str¢ams have been used to generate funds including corporate fundraising,
applications lo other Charitsble Trusls and Foundations, virtual events and sponsorship,
supporting community fundraisers, mailing appeals and promoting leg￿leS or donations in
memory of a loved one or in celebration of an o¢¢asAon. Specific fundraising ¢vents organiscd
during 2020121 includ¢d a staff team fitness competition , a virtual Christmas themed fun-nm.
and a Christmas raffle. These initiatives have ¢ffectively raised the profile of the Charity and
significanily contributed to the total incoming resourc¢s to 31 March 2021.

Grant Making Poli¢y
Grants are awarded on a case by case basis judged on how well they support ih¢ strat¢gic aims
of the Charity tn accordance with donor restri¢tions. The intended use of th¢ grant must be cost
effective and enhance the service or facilities provided for stsff and patient5, beyond that which
15 nornially provided, in order to improve standard5 of care and patient ¢xp¢rienGe.
The Corporate Trustee operates a scheme of delegation thmugh which all grants only be
awarded by those members with the necessary authority to do so. In cases where the gr4nt is
intended for employing slatf or is above the predefined limit of five thousand pounds the dward
decision must be taken by the Charitable Funds Commtttee. In all other cases Outside of these
limits, the Fund Managers have delegated responsibility for the disbursements of funds.
The majority of grants are made from the Charity's Restricted Funds. These comprise of two
elemenls..
a) The Registered ReslTiCted General Funds of the Great Western Hospital and the Swindon
& Wiltshire Community Areas: These contain gifts and donations, where the restriction
is that the funds rnay be used principally for the benefit of patients and staff at the Great
W¢st¢rn Hospital and within th¢ wider Wiltshire community areas.
b) Other Registered RestrA¢ted Funds: These fijnds have been donated to a particular
speciality, ward or pu￿08e. The medical services fund is an example of such a fund.
Fund managers that have been authorised by the committe¢. oversee the daY-t￿daY
rnanag¢m¢nt of such funds. within ¢l¢arly d¢fined spending limits.
All grdnt¥ with the exception of those related to Wiltshire Health & Care Charitsble Funds. are
made to Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation TrusL with the Funds being administered by
The Great Westem Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund. Grants relating to
Wiltshir¢ Health & Care Charitable Funds are administered by a committee within Wiltshire
Health & Care and subsequently ratified by the Trust Charitable Funds Committee.
Reserves Policy
Free reserve4 are that part of the Charity's UTJrestricted funds as defined by the TnLSte¢, and are
those that are available to utilise on acttvities for the benefit of the public in furtherance ot the
Charity's objectives but which are not yet designated for a specific purw)se. The total free
reserves as at 31 March 2021 was £166,000 compattd with £149.000 for the year ending 31
March 2020 and there are no material commitments.
The Trustee believes reserves should be maintained at a minimum level around £70,000 based
on an average of four months norni&l expendi￿re and the available cash balance. Thts is
considered to b¢ an appropriate timeframe in which to source alternative funding streams and the
policy is reviewed regularly in light of any new opportunities. Thiq level of reserves meets the
needs of the Charity and enabl¢s the Trustee to consider application5 for funding as and when
they arise.
Free reserves are higher than the identified required l¢v¢l but the Charity has approved funding
forvarious longer-terni projects during the year which are designated but not spent as at 31 March
2021.
The Corpyfrrate Trustee is aware that funds should be spent on charitable activities within 2
reasonable period of time and, through the Charitable Funds Committee, ensures that funds are

spent and not savd unless a fund manager has a specific pury)ose for which they wish to save
and have received pennission from the Committe¢ to do so.
Future Plans
In 2019 the Great West¢Tn NHS Foundation Trust launched ils refreshed strategy "Our Strategy
2019 - 2024" a coming together and sharing of thoughts and ideas for how our local health
service will meet future challenges. The uliimate goal is to join up care for patients to improve
their outcornes, keep people well for longer and do it with care and ¢ompassion. ensuring that by
working together the local NHS is greater than the sum of its parts.
The charity enables the Greht Western NHS Foundation Trust to realisc patient benefit much
sooner by: enhancing the environment for patients and stsff in which health services can be
delivered- enabling carcrs and staff caring for patients to beneffftt from education and facilities
not nornially available within the NHS funding, and. providing additional equipment and staffing
to the Trust above the NHS funding envelope.
Over the next three years the charity will continue to support the Great Western Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust by focusing on five key strategic priorities l) Innovation. 2) Cancer Service
Development. 3) Elderly Care, 4) Better births and 5) Wellbeing. During the financial year
202112022 the charity will continue to rn1s¢ rnoney to purchase four new wireless foetal heart
monitor5 and a birthing bed for our Matemity Unlt. Planned fundraising will continue on the
Dementia Appeal to purchase Dementia clocks. a RITA machine and inpatient activity kits. In
addition. monies will be secured through approaches to private donors to support the purchase
of a CT S¢iumer for the n¢w Radiotherapy C¢ntre.
Covid-19 has presented rhallenges never experienced before, but it has also provided a chance
to be l)old and seize on new opportunities. W¢ have adapted to meeting the n¢¢ds of our hospital,
its pati¢nts and its staff while changing how we work by doing more virtual actives and working
mor¢ fl¢xibly. Overih¢ coming 12 months we will continue to r¢spond and supp)rt the hospilal's
needs, our events programme will flex to ofter virtual and physical ¢ven£5 and we will seek out
opportunities for our supporters to donate to projects that help support our staff and patients
during the pandemic with a focus on health and wellbeing.
Although for many charities COIVID-19 has had a negative impact, for the NHS the country has
seen an outpouring of support and a greater appreciation of the service our health care workers
provide the nation. For Brighter Futures it has help¢d improve our brand awareness locally
moving us away from the misperception that we w¢r¢ a cancer charity raising money just for the
radiotherapy appeal to a local health eare charity 5UPPOrting the NHS and community h¢alth care
teams in Swindon and the surrounding areas.

The Charity does not employ any staff bui Great Westem H05pits15 NHS Foundation Trust

Associate Director of Fundraising who 15 r¢sponsible for raising the profile of th¢ Charity and

The Charity reqUI￿S Fund Managers to supply the Charitsble Funds Committ¢e with spending
plans and, at each committee meeting, the Committe¢ receive updaies on indlvidual fund
balances which they scrutinise closely. The Committe¢ will call before them any Fund Manager

remove any Fund Manager they believe is not acting in the best interest of the Charity. In Cases
where Fund Manag¢rs have requested pem)ission to save funds for a specific projecL the
Committee requires them to produce progress updates where appropriat¢.
16
Jnvestment Policy
The Corporate Trustee has delennined the investm¢nt policy, in 50 far is reasonable, to avoid
undue risk to the r¢al value of ihe capital and income of the portfolio after allowing for inflation.
Due lo the on-going economic uncertainty and very low interest rates the Cory)orate Trustee has
prioritised securing funds over investing for returns. All remaining investments have been
converted into cash as it 15 ¢xpected that £2.8m will be transferred to Oxford Univ¢tsity Hospitals
NHS Foundation Tnjst at an appropriate point in the future in relation to funds raised for
radioth¢rapy equipment.
In addition, the Trust has opened a GBS bank account to ensure maximum protection.
When ¢conomic un¢ert&inty reduces adequately, funds may be invested short-terni in a five-5tar
Charity Account or longer temi in equities and bonds. The perfonnance of all investments ar¢
monitored and rewrted on a quarterly basis to the Charitable Funds Committee. Plc&se see Note

On behalf of staff and patients who have benefited from improved services due to the receipt of
donations and legacies, the CoryK)rate Trnstee would lik¢ to thank all of those who hav¢ mad¢

Independent auditor's report to the Trustee of Grelt Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Charitable Fund
OpiDIOII
We have audited the financial statements of Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable
Fund ('the charity,) for the year ended 31 March 2021 whtch comprise the Statement of Flnanctal
Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes lo the financial statements, including
significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparalion is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Siandards, including Financial Reporting
Standard 102 The Finuncial Reporling Siandard applicable in ihe UK andRepublic ofIreland (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for th¢ year then
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Awepted Accounting
Practice. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordan¢e with IDternatiQDal Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit ot the tinancial statements section of our rew)rt. We are ind¢pendent of
the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the fmancial
slatements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Stsndard, and we have fulfilled our otheT ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we hav¢
obtained is sutTicient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going ￿ncern
In auditing th¢ financial stslements. we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the fJnanGial slatements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or ¢onditions that, individually or ¢oll￿tiVely. May cast significant doubt on Ihe charity's ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of at l¢ast twelve months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are d¢s¢rib¢d
in the relevant Sections of this rq)ort.
Other information
The other infonnation comprises the infonnation included in the trustee's annu&l report, oth¢r than the
financial statem¢Dts and our auditor's report thereon. The trustee is responsible for th¢ other
inforniation contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial stalements does not cover
the other inforn)ation and, except to the extent othenvise explicitly st&ted in our report, we do not
express any foTm of assurance Conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other inforniation and. in doing so. consider whether the other
infom]ation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in th¢
ourse of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such mat¢rial
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to detemilne whether this gives
rise to a material misstatement in the financial ststements themselves. If, based on the work we have
perfomed. we conclude that there is a material mi551atement of this other inforn]ation, we ar¢ required
to report that fact.
We have nothing to r¢pN)rt in this regard.
12

Matters on whieh we are reqnired to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in r¢lation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requir¢ us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the inforniation given in the fman¢ial statements is inconsislent in any material respect with th¢
trustee's report. or
the charity has noi kept ad¢quate accounting records. or
the financial stalements are not in agreement with the accounting r¢¢ords and returns. or
we have not received all the infonnation and explanations w¢ require for our audiL
Responsibilities of the trustee
As explain¢d more fully in the trustee's responsibilities statement set out on page I l. the trustee is
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true
and fair vi¢w, and for such internal control as the twstee deterniines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial sts¢ements that are free from matcrial misststement, whether due to fraud or
¢rror.
In preparing the financial statements, the Inistee is responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
conlinue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters relaled to gofftng concern and using the
going wn¢ern basis of accounting unless ihe trnstee either int¢nds to liquidate the charity OT to cease
operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responsibilities for the gudit of the fin8n¢ial statsments
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordan¢¢
with regulations made under section 154 of thai Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement. whether du¢ to fraud or e￿or. and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misslatements can arise from fraud or ¢Tror and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud. ar¢ instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities. including fraud. The specifJ¢ pro¢edures for this engagement and the
extent to which these are capable of det￿tIng trregularitles, including fraud is detailed below:
We have considered:
the nature of the charity and Sector, control environment and operating perfomiance.
the charity's own assessmenL including assessments made by key management, of the risks that
irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or em)r;
any matters we identified having reviewed th¢ charity's policies and procedures relating to:
o identifying. evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were
aware of any instances of non-compliance.
det¢Gting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleg¢d fraud. and
o ihe internal controls established to mitigate risks of frdud or nOn￿o￿P11ancc with laws and
regulaÉion5-
the matters discussed amongst the audit engagement team.
As a result of these procedur¢s. we considered the optK)rtunittes and incentiv¢s that may exisl within
the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the areas in which
management is required to ¢xercise significant judgement, such as recognition of income. In common
13

with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are a150 required to perfonn specific procedures to respond to the
risk ofmanagement overrid¢.
We also obtaiT]ed an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in.
focusing on provisions of ihose laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the deterniination of
material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key law and regulation we
considered in this Gont¢xl was the Charities Act.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all itr¢gularitie4
including those leading to a material misstafrrnent in the financial ststements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is reTnoved from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware
of instarjces of non-compliance. The risk 15 also greater regarding I￿egularitICS occurring due to fraud
rather ihan error, as fraud involves intentlonal concealment, forgery, Gollusion, omission or
misreptesentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website
at: httPS:l/www.frc.org.uklOur-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assuran¢¢lStandards-and-guidancelStandards-
and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditor8-reqpon8ibilitie8-for-auditlDescription-of-auditors-responsibilities-
for-audit.aspx. This description fornis part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This rewtrrt is made solely to th¢ Charity's trustee. in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts
and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to th¢
charity's trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no oiher
purpose. To the fullest extent perniltted by law, we do not accept or assume resw>nsibilAty to anyone
oth¢r than the charity and the charity's trustee, for our audit work, for this repo¢ or for the opinions we
have fornied.

## PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL 

The Trustees The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund The Great Western Marlborough Road Swindon Wiltshire SN3 6BB 

Our ref: G036A/CW 

21 January 2022 

Dear Trustees 

## **REPORT TO MANAGEMENT** 

During the course of our audit for the year ended 31 March 2021, matters arose which we consider should be brought to your attention. 

Our tests may not necessarily disclose all errors or irregularities and should not be relied upon to do so.  However, if any irregularity did come to our attention during our audit tests, we would, of course, inform you immediately. 

We would be grateful if you could enter management’s comments against each point under the "management response" column of the memorandum and return it to us in due course. 

We have complied with the Ethical Standards for Auditors and all threats to our independence, as identified to you in our planning communication letter dated 9 October 2021 have been properly addressed through appropriate safeguards.  No additional facts or matters have arisen during the course of the audit that we wish to draw to your attention and we confirm that we are independent and able to express an objective opinion on the financial statements. 

This report has been prepared for the sole use of the Trustees of The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund and must not be shown to third parties without our prior consent.  No responsibilities are accepted by UHY Ross Brooke towards any party acting or refraining from action as a result of this report. 

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to all members of the charity's staff who assisted us in carrying out our work. 

Yours faithfully 

UHY Ross Brooke 




## **SIGNIFICANT MATTERS RELEVANT TO OUR AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2021** 

## **Audit approach** 

There were no changes to our audit approach. 

## **Summary of significant audit findings** 

|**Significant risk area identified at**<br>**planning**|**Findings and recommendations**|**Management response**|
|---|---|---|
|Revenue recognition/Income cut-<br>off|Income found to be allocated to<br>correct periods.||
|Management override|Matters of judgement discussed<br>with you and treatments agreed.||
|Going concern/ Covid-19|Budgets reviewed and evidence<br>seen to support going concern<br>assertion.||
|Opening balances|Opening balances verified to<br>supporting documentation testing||



## **Internal controls** 

The purpose of the audit was for us to express an opinion on the financial statements. The audit included consideration of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. Our audit is, therefore, not designed to identify all control weaknesses. No significant weaknesses were noted. 

## **Letter of representation** 

We have also provided a letter of management representations required in connection with our audit. 

## **Anticipated audit report** 

We intend to issue an unmodified audit report for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

Yours faithfully 

UHY Ross Brooke
