As well as maklng monetary donations, the communlty also continues to SUPPOrt the hospital
by purchasing gifts via the Amazon WSsh Llst. We ran a pilot scheme with one of our wards:
Rudham Children's ward Amazon Wish List
The Amazon Wishlist started running in December 2020 and 15 proving to be very successful.
We have received hundreds of gift5 f rom patients, parents. staff. the general public and local
companies, ranging f rom small toys, colouring books and crayons through to a shop, multi-
sensory toys and TV.
A number of parents commented that they had previously wanted to donate to the Ward but
hadn't been able to as they felt they couldn't afford to. They thought the Amazon Wishlist was
an ideal way for them to say thank you, as they could spend as little as £2.00 and contribute to
a gift in the knowledge that they were buying something the Ward really needed. We even
had some young patients wanting to buy something with their pocket money.
The generosity and kindness shown has been overwhelming at times for the Ward staff and we
all as a team, would like to thank everybody who so kindly donated.
We will look at the possibility of extending the scherne to other wards according to demand.
Our future plans
As with all the Charitable funds expenditure the aim is to help improve the care and experience for
hospital patients, whether this is through investing in the training and welfare of staff, funding
refurbishment projects or purchasing equipment. This work will continue throughout 2021122 with
our plans to purchase further items of equipment to benefit patients and continuing our support to
staff to further their education, enabling thern to introduce and perform new techniques in patient
care.
The Maternity 8ereavement Suite Appeal was chosèn as The Lynn News Charity of the Year.
The fundraising target is £185,000 and we continue to work towards thi5 objective. The
scheme is to create a dedicated area for families f rom our community who tragically10se their
babies either during or shortly after birth. The Maternity Bereavement Suite will provide a
welcoming facility for patients and families. away from the Waterlily Birth Centre and
maternity department. It will give them the opportunity to create precious memories. Having
suite in a homely environment will make a positive difference to the experience of parents who
are going through their most difficult time after their loss. The proposed layout for the Suite
and the completion of the project will give patients and their families a private space to spend
precious time with their baby. In order to generate enough room for the scheme. the new area
will be created by reconf iguring some of the maternity footprint. There will be a bedroom
area, nursery space, rest area with refreshment facilltles and an en-suite shower room.

The Staff engagement scheme was introduced at the QEH during the year. Further plans in the
following year will see us working with a new Staff App providing staff with a closed and
secure platform to talk to each other and share information when they want to. It will offer a
key digital channel for the staff to communicate instantly through chat and news feed
feature5. increasing opportunities for engagement and fostering a closer working environment
where we can work together to provide the best care for our patients using a system and
information that supports people, processes. timely communication and learning. This App 15

With funding from NHS Charities Together the Trust wants to provide tools to assist patients to
maintain contact with their families and friends. This is essential for the wellbeing of patients
and their farnilies. This proposal will reach out to many inpatients to support them to
communicate with their family and friends whi15t vistting is restricted due to the COVID-19
pandemic. When visiting is re-introduced thi5 equipment will be useful to support virtual

{'the Charity") for the year ended 31 March 202 Iwhich cotnprise the Statement of Financial Activities,
Balance Sheet, Statetnenl of Cash Flows and related notes. including the accounting policies in note
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 for the year then ended-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS
102 The Financlal Reporting St8ndard applicable in th8 UK and Republ￿ of Ireland,. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinlon
We have be¢n appointed a5 auditor under section 144 of the Charities Aet 2011 (or its prede¢essors) and report in
accord2n¢e with regulations made under se¢kn"on 154 of that Act.
We conducted our audit io a¢cordance with International Standards on Audititlg (UK} {"ISAs {UKI") and applicable
law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are
independent of the charity in accordance wsth, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We
believe that the audit evidence we hav¢ obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinitsn.
Going eoncern
The truste¢5 have prepar¢d the financial statements on the goinB ¢oncem basis as they do not intend to liquidate the
charity or to cease its operations. and a5 they have concluded that the charity's fjnancial position means that this is
r¢alLStic. They have also concluded that there a￿ no material uncertainties that could have ¢as¢ significant doubt
ovcr irs ability io ¢onlinue as a going con¢em for at leasi a year from the date of approval of the rtnartcial statements
{'Ihe going Concern perto(r').
In our evaluation of the trustees, ¢onclusions, we corLsidered the inherent risks to the charity'5 bu5ine5s model and
onalysed how those risks might affect the chaTLty's flnancial r¢sour¢es or ability to continue operations over the
going conc¢m period.
Our ￿nCluSiOnS based on this work:
we consider that the trnst¢¢s' use of the going concern basis of ￿coUnting in the preparation of the financial
st*ernents is appropriate,.
we have not identified. and concur with the trustees, assessment that there is noL a material uncertainty related
to events or conditions thai, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl otl the charity's abilLry to
continue as a going con¢em for the going concern period.
However, 2$ w¢ ¢annot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may resul( in ouicomes that

Within the Charities sector, auditors also consider the risk that material misstatements due lo fraudul¢nt
financial reporting may arise from the manipulation of expenditure recognition and Ih¢r¢fore an
additional risk has be¢n identified in relation to this. Due to the natur¢ of the expenditure re¢ognised by

procedures required by auditing Standards would identify it.
In additÈon. as with ony audil th¢r¢ remains a higher risk of non-de￿110tt of fraud. &8 these may involve collusion.
forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentations. or the override of internal contro15. Our audit procedures ar¢
d¢5ign¢d to detect mat¢rial tnisstatetnent. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot
be ¢xpe¢t¢d to detect non.compliance with all laws and re8ulations.
Other Infomation
The trustee5 are responsible for the other information. which comprises the Trustees, Annual R¢port. Our opinion on
the f￿anCIal statements does not ¢ov¢r the other infor]nation and, accordingly. we do not express an audit opinton
or, except e$ explicitly stated below, any forni of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our respoThst6iltty is to read the other inforn)ation and. in doing so, consider whether, based on our finan¢ial
ststements audit work, tjie inforn)ation therein is materially mtsstated or in¢onsist¢Dt with the financial statement5 or
our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if..
b&sed sol¢ly on that work. we have idenlified material rnis5tatemcnts in the other iThforniation' or
13

- in our opinion, the information given in the Trustees' 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. 

## **Trustees' responsibilities** 

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page _[number],_ the trustees are 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 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.fc.org.ukauditorsresponsibilities. 

## **The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 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 trustees 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 trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
