Our Vision

A world where people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and neurodivergent conditions can access the support we all need to live the lives we choose. A world that works for both people and the planet.

03

Message from our Chair

Thank you for joining us in celebrating the achievements of Heads On over the last 12 months.

“Heads On has worked tirelessly to support the NHS to go further at the most demanding of times”

It has been another year of tremendous challenge across the NHS and Heads On has played an integral part in supporting the mental health recovery of patients, carers and staff. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us. From marathon runners to schools, local businesses to regular donors, trusts and foundations and those who have left us a gift in their will, each and every one of you has made a real difference to people when they need us most.

As we continue to navigate the mental health impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our communities, Heads On has worked tirelessly to support the NHS to go further at the most demanding of times.

Our external grant making has gone from strength to strength. Working in partnership with our national membership body NHS Charities Together and the Sussex Health & Care Partnership Heads On awarded community partnership grants across the voluntary sector in Sussex that bridge the gap between NHS and local communities, responding to the recommendations of the NHS Long Term Plan.

From suicide prevention programmes, to community hospice care and specialist support for families caring for young people with learning disabilities, we have worked hard to bring together NHS and voluntary sector services, meeting people’s needs for local, responsive and compassionate care. Our huge thanks to all our partners, who go the extra mile every day to ensure people can access the help they need, when they need it.

04

Message from our Chair

Our work to address the health inequalities faced by people with mental health problems continues apace, and we are looking forward to the publication of the co-produced service evaluation on ethnic minority community service user experiences of a secondary care mental health service during the COVID-19 pandemic - which will help to inform Sussex Partnership’s work to transform community services. Our programme of training in anti-racism in healthcare has received excellent feedback and we look forward to further sessions.

As our national membership body, NHS Charities Together have been a source of great support throughout the pandemic, from their phenomenal national fundraising campaign to training and development opportunities across the sector. Our immense thanks to them for their support.

At the core of Heads On’s work is our desire to ensure that anyone with a mental health problem has the same dignity as anyone else. So much of this work is unseen and yet it is of real importance to the people who use Sussex Partnership’s services, funding basic items such as underwear for people who are admitted to hospital with nothing. Our support is needed now more than ever.

As always, my thanks to the team at Heads On, for their tireless dedication to supporting staff, patients and carers in the most creative and compassionate of ways.

Looking to the future, it is clear that the NHS and Sussex Partnership will continue to face the pressures brought by the pandemic and that the challenges that existed prior to Covid-19 have not gone away - from persistent health inequalities faced by people with mental health problems, an aging population and increasingly lengthy waiting times. Heads On has a crucial role to play in supporting staff, patients and carers at Sussex Partnership to navigate these pressures and its focus on health inequalities and non-clinical routes to recovery is welcome and much needed.

The past two years have taught us that out of times of real challenge can come the brightest of moments. As we move beyond Covid-19 together I have every confidence that by working in partnership with our supporters, NHS and voluntary sector colleagues, patients and carers, Heads On will continue to make a very real difference to the lives of people with mental health problems across our communities.

Amanda Jones

Non-Executive Director of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Charitable Funds Committee Chair

“At the core of Heads On’s work is the desire to ensure that anyone with a mental health problem has the same dignity as anyone else.”

05

Over the past 12 months we have worked hard to build on the achievements of NHS charities in 2020, developing a strategic programme of work within Sussex Partnership to address health inequalities faced by so many and consolidating our external grant making, for which we were fortunate to secure significant funding from NHS Charities Together and the Sussex Health & Care Partnership, reflected in our income this year.

Message from our Head of Charity

Throughout all our partnership grants it is clear that our communities are struggling with their mental health. Covid-19 has taken its toll and we now face economic and political turmoil across the globe. The mental health impact of being financially unstable on people, families and communities cannot be underestimated. By working in partnership with local communities as a grant maker, Heads On has been able to support a programme of work that makes a very real difference to those struggling with their mental health whilst also relieving pressure on NHS services.

Beyond Covid-19 - a strategic partner

Our programme of work to address health inequalities has focused on ethnic inequalities in healthcare this year. Co-produced evaluation of community services by people from minoritised communities has made recommendations for how NHS mental health services can improve; our anti-racism training programme bringing together NHS, social care and voluntary sector staff has had excellent feedback and we are looking to roll this out; our internal cultural competency programme has supported staff across Sussex Partnership to build knowledge and understanding.

As we continue to move beyond Covid-19 it is clear there is much to do to meet the ever growing need for mental health support in our communities and address systemic disadvantage and health inequalities faced by so many. As Sussex Partnership continues programmes of significant transformation to innovate and improve mental health services, Heads On is committed to working alongside the Trust as a strategic partner, providing funding, partnerships and building growing awareness of and support for mental health in our local communities.

Rachael Duke Head of Charity

Covid-19 stopped the world in 2020 and, working together with the NHS, Sussex Partnership, the voluntary sector, patients and carers, Heads On have been doing everything possible to support positive mental health ever since. Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey.

06

Message from the Chair and Chief Executive of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

Bridging the gap between healthcare and communities

As we continue to experience the effects of the pandemic across the NHS, in mental health services we are seeing the impact of years of social restrictions, shifting regulations, disrupted education and the breaking down of support networks. Across the country we are seeing significant increases in referrals across all ages, people struggling with their mental health for the first time and pre-existing health inequalities exacerbated by Covid-19.

At the same time, the mental health legacy of Covid-19 is one of shared experience, of solidarity, of a growing acceptance of struggles and a breaking down of the stigma that can so hinder recovery. The NHS Long Term Plan represents the opportunity to transform how we care for people with mental health problems, bringing care closer to home and working hand in hand with our voluntary sector partners to support people in places that feel right for them.

07

Heads On’s programme of work to address ethnic inequalities in health care brings benefits beyond Sussex Partnership, working across the county to build an evidence base and support innovation and improvement that will mean more compassionate care for patients, carers and staff.

As the largest employer in Europe, staff are the NHS’s biggest asset and during the last 12 months they have been working in times of unprecedented pressure and change. Heads On’s support for Sussex Partnership staff has been second to none. We look forward to the Charity’s Nightwaking project, supporting Sussex Partnership’s night staff; who work in particularly challenging circumstances and face many health inequalities.

“Heads On has a vital role to play bridging the gap betyween healthcare and our communities, delivering programmes that have real and sustained impact...”

Whilst the pressure on NHS mental health services shows no sign of abating, Heads On continues to rise to the challenge, securing funding for the roll out of Discovery College - supporting young people and families on waiting lists, building the evidence base for sport for recovery and co-producing and piloting volunteer opportunities for people who have used Early Intervention in Psychosis services across arts, heritage and sports organisations in partnership with Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival.

As we face the perfect storm of growing mental health needs in our communities and a cost of living crisis, Heads On has a vital role to play bridging the gap between healthcare and our communities, delivering programmes that have real and sustained impact, keeping people well and addressing the root causes of poor mental health.

Breaking down the stigma of mental health is key to our success and our huge thanks to everyone who has supported Heads On’s work this year - your generosity goes far beyond the financial, building a more inclusive, compassionate world. Your support means so much, to everyone who has ever struggled with their mental health.

Charity Objectives fr Activities Il/

Charity Objectives & Activities

Heads On is governed by a Declaration of Trust and exists to support any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service and particularly the Mental Health Sector that would not normally be covered by main NHS funds. We are the official charity of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and a member of NHS Charities Together.

Heads On develops, fundraises for and supports projects that empower people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and neurodivergent conditions in their journeys, building a more equal world for everyone. To ensure Heads On can react swiftly to emerging needs, the Charity pay particular attention to ensuring continuing unrestricted donations.

We work tirelessly to enhance NHS services through charitable giving, in accordance with our charitable objects, paying due regard to guidance from the Charity Commission. We pride ourselves on fundraising consciously, by making sure donations truly add value to service users’ experience and all expenditure is carefully considered.

Trustees award grants to projects delivered by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and external partners that support people with mental health problems in their recovery or address healthcare needs within the wider population. This can also include supporting projects for staff that will improve patients’ experience. Grants are only awarded through published funding programmes and unsolicited applications are not accepted.

The monies required to support our work are secured through fundraising from our local communities, charitable trusts and foundations, individual donors, corporate sponsors and from grant making bodies.

Our parent NHS Trust, Sussex Partnership, provides mental health services that offer care and treatment for people with conditions such as psychosis, depression, anxiety, dementia, personality disorder and learning disabilities and other complex health needs. The Trust’s staff serve a local population of over 1.5 million people, through delivery of more than 315 clinical services including inpatient wards, outpatient and community services. It provides inpatient care for over 3,000 people each year and treats more than 39,500 patients across Sussex and Hampshire, delivering mental health services for adults, children and young people.

Review of the Year

Achievements & Performance

11

Review of the Year

Heads On develops and funds projects that go above and beyond what the NHS is able to support, complementing people’s care and treatment to support recovery.

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic we paused our planned programme of work and commenced a Covid-19 response and suicide prevention programme that lasted until September 2021.

We launched our 2021-2025 strategy in October 2021, which sees us focus on:

Health Inequalities and how to address them

12

Review of the Year

Community Partnership Grants

In 2020 Heads On took on the management of NHS Charities Together’s community partnership grants programme in Sussex, working on behalf of the then 7 Sussex NHS charities to award grants across the county that would build partnerships between the NHS and voluntary sector and reduce pressure on NHS secondary care services.

£725,000 was awarded in grants

Delivery of the programme has been a key focus for Heads On this year, building a community of practice amongst the grant recipients and starting the associated anti-racism training programmes.

13

Review of the Year

Mental Health Collaborative grants Grant making on behalf of an Integrated Care Board

In early 2022, building on its external grant making experience, Heads On took on the management of a voluntary sector grants programme on behalf of the mental health collaborative of the Sussex Health & Care Partnership, funding work across the county addressing suicide prevention and the transformation of NHS community mental health services.

Grant commitments will be made across 2022 and into 2023, supporting partners to innovate, scale existing work and build capacity within the sector.

14

Review of the Year

Staff Support

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken its toll on NHS staff, both physically and mentally. Heads On’s support for Sussex Partnership staff has been unstinting throughout the last 12 months and was extended to colleagues across healthcare in Sussex.

Sussex Staff In Mind Hardship Bursaries

Sussex Staff In Mind (SSiM) provide mental health support for staff across healthcare in Sussex. For many, the cost of living crisis is taking a very real toll. Working in partnership with SSiM, Heads On managed a £60,000 hardship bursary programme that supported staff in times of financial crisis.

“I had just returned to work from long term sick with being diagnosed with severe depression, I had been away from home receiving medical care when our washing machine broke. After struggling with money for months prior, I just didn’t have the money to buy a new one. I was talking to a colleague who said there is help out there, contact ‘Heads On’, the experience with ‘Heads On’ was nothing but calming from the start to end, which I say was very efficient. My anxiety and weight on my shoulders were just lifted. Thank you ‘Heads On’ for your support.”

15

Review of the Year

Ethnic inequalities in healthcare

The pandemic brought ethnic inequalities in health to the attention of the public. Inequalities that are long standing and deeply rooted.

Public Health England’s report on disparities in the risk and outcomes of Covid-19 show higher age-standardised mortality rates for people from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups compared to those of white British ethnicity. The risk of testing positive for Covid-19 is also higher for NHS staff from black and Asian backgrounds. This evidence raises fundamental questions, including what is driving these differences.

16

A co-produced service evaluation of ethnic minority community service user experiences of a secondary care mental health service during the COVID-19 pandemic

“Our groups feel they will inevitably be minoritised and treated differently due to their ethnicity because it is the current nature of our healthcare system. Consequently, they don’t know where to get help, don’t get a suitable response to their needs, and are left to suffer alone. Our groups want to change this, and as Sussex Partnership and Heads On want to address inequalities, this work maps what can be done.”

Daniel Mutanda, Sussex Partnership Research Assistant, member of the co-production group and facilitator for the ethnic minority public, patient involvement group.

In 2020, Heads On secured funding from NHS Charities Together to explore how people from ethnic minority communities experienced Sussex Partnership services during the pandemic compared to white British people.

The study concluded in 2022, making recommendations for improving minoritised communities’ experiences of Sussex Partnership services through outreach, ambassador programmes, improving interpreter services, better training of staff and outreach into schools.

17

Plans for the Future

Plans for the Future

The Covid-19 pandemic transformed the role and profile of NHS charities, achieving in a matter of months on a national scale something which NHS charities had individually been working towards for years: positioning NHS charities as a valued and key partner in healthcare.

For Heads On, this has meant many new areas to our work, including significant expansion of our external grant making and health inequalities work that reaches beyond mental health into the wider healthcare system. We have forged significant new partnerships; across the voluntary sector, academia, arts and sports that break down barriers between healthcare and communities, placing those with lived experience at the heart.

As we emerge from the pandemic, our work over the next 12 months will include a strategic review of the Charity, directing resource to where we have the greatest impact and focusing on the key challenges facing mental healthcare. This work will be supported by a renewed focus on demonstrating our impact and ensuring that we make it as easy as possible for those who need our support to access it.

Financial Review

Financial Review

Total operating income for the financial year was £1.8m (2020/21: £496k).

Donated income includes a grant from Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust of £185k to fund the operational costs of the charity.

Expenditure for the year was £900k (2020/21: £390k).

As an active NHS charity, predominantly funding projects within our parent NHS Trust and making external grants with restricted donations, our annual expenditure sometimes exceeds our income as we spend funds that we have held over time or restricted donations that are fundraised for specific, timelimited programmes. When these funds are spent they are not routinely replenished, particularly if they are restricted for specific projects or services.

The statement of financial activities shows net incoming resources for the year of £1m which includes net gains on investments of £22k.

Financial Review

Investments: including Investment Strategy and Performance

The balance sheet consists predominantly of investments, including cash and within stocks and shares.

The committee continues to adopt a low risk investment strategy when dealing with short term investment of donated monies, with current asset investments totalling £266k. Heads on has continued its investment strategy during the year to include some long term equity investments to help improve the returns against its endowment funds which totalled £463k at the year end. The equity investments increased in value during 21/22 due to good returns from investments.

The endowment funds of £463k are predominantly invested in equity investments as detailed above, with £37k remaining within cash at bank.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds of the Charity total £1.85m (2020/21: £427k) and comprise:

Public Health East Sussex

Financial Review

Reserves Policy – note 5 support costs

The Charity seeks to apply all funds received in an efficient and timely manner.

The Charity is mainly reliant on the generous goodwill of the local population and organisations through their donations and legacies. The holding of reserves allows for planned expenditure to progress as intended, uninhibited by the volatility of income levels from year to year.

The level of reserves held is determined by reference to future spending plans. This applies not only to general funds but also to the level of restricted funds, in the context of their terms of reference.

Financial Control and Risk Management

The Trust’s Standing Orders and Financial Instructions apply in full to the operation of the Charitable Funds, which are subject to periodic review.

The Corporate Trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objectives of each fund. By designating funds in this way the Trustee is able to respect the wishes of the donors.

The Trustee has also paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

The Trustee has complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Funds are not allowed to accumulate except where plans may require sufficient funds to be initially collected, either by appeal or through the gradual build-up of donations before expenditure occurs. The Charity considers that it has met its reserves policy during the period, holding free reserves of £82k at the year end.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the Trustee is required to:

The Trustee is responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor’s Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

We have audited the financial statements of Heads On (the ‘charitable incorporated organisation’) for the year ended 31 March 2022. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102. The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International 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 of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable incorporated organisation in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable incorporated organisation’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

26

Annual Accounts

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE CHARITIES ACT 2011

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable incorporated organisation and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable incorporated organisation’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 the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable incorporated organisation or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 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. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www frc org uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-andguidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilitiesfor-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit aspx

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed overleaf.

EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and its management.

27

Annual Accounts

Our approach was as follows:

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 (irregularities) 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. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, 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 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 the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: testing manual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.

INCOMING RESOURCES

Recognition of income – These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Income with related expenditure – Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.

Grants and donations – Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that funds will be received.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts – Income from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual income and performance related grants – This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Donated services and facilities – These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer help – The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Investment income – This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Endowment Income – Endowment income is unrestricted.

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition – Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Grants with performance conditions – Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants payable without performance conditions – These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Accumulated Funds – Restricted and Permanently Endowed funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used.

Debtors – Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand – Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The Trustees seek to use short and medium term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.

Investments – Investments are held at fair value and all mature within less than one year.

Support costs – Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. They also include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis
