Introduction and basis of preparation
The Trustee is pleased to present the Annual Report and Financial Statements in respect of the Charitable Funds of West London NHS Trust for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
These documents have been prepared in accordance with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice-Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP under Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).
Background to the West London Charity
West London NHS Trust is a corporate body which was established under the West London Mental Health National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 2000.
As a corporate body, West London NHS Trust has specific powers to act as a corporate Trustee and in this role, it is accountable to the Charity Commission for those funds deemed to be charitable.
Who We Are
The Charitable Fund of West London NHS Trust (West London NHS Charity), is a registered charity (registered number 1051836). We exist to raise funds and receive donations for the benefit our patients and staff.
The funds are divided internally according to the donors' intentions, whether that is restricted or unrestricted, and further sub-divided on the basis of the purpose for which the fund has been allocated.
What we aim to do: our objectives and activities
With both donations and careful management of our existing funds, the charity aims to support the needs of patients, focusing on areas that are not covered or fully supported by NHS funds.
The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that restricted funds held are utilised according to the wishes of the provider. The following funds are restricted:
Clayponds - to be used for service user amenities and development of the unit.
Adult and Older Adult Patient Care - to be used for adult and older adult mental health wards and rehabilitation.
The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that unrestricted funds are used to improve the facilities and conditions for various patient and staff groups.
What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year
West London NHS Charity (WL Charity) have operated during the year to fulfil the objectives of the various funds noted above and the Trustee has had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The Trustee publicises how the fund can be accessed through Trust publications and provides proforma guidance on submitting a bid.
In 2024/25 charitable fund activity continued to be primarily focused on staff and patient welfare. The Fund was recipient of an two NHS Charities Together Grant's which were spent on staff health & wellbeing and on development of the charity.
Funds were utilised to fund a variety of projects including:
-
Health & Well-being zones for staff
-
Carol Service and gifts for long term patients at Christmas
-
Carer's corner; providing weekly wellbeing and respite sessions for carers in Ealing

Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
The Trustee considers that there are sufficient reserves held at the year end to manage any foreseeable downturn in the UK and global economies. The Trustee consider that there is a reasonable expectation that West London NHS Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, for this reason, the Trustee continues to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis in preparing the accounts.
What we plan to do with your donations: our future plans
The charity aims to continue to meet its objectives in relation to management of existing funds during 2025/26
The committee plans to continue focussing on developing the charity's fundraising strategy and other sources of funding in the year ahead. In 2024/25 an external consultant was commissioned to review the charity's infrstructure and work with us to write a roadmap for the charity's development.
Our reserves policy
The Trustee agrees that the level of reserves in respect of unrestricted funds should be sufficient to enable them to meet demands on the charitable funds, both now and in the future. It is difficult to predict the likely level of expenditure in the potentially expensive areas of medical research, care provision and staff welfare. The reserves level has been set by the Trustee at a minimum of £500,000 in cash and cash equivalents and investment funds. This level of reserves has been set in order to provide financial stability for up to 3 years expenditure of the funds.
Maintaining reserves will mitigate against significant fluctuations in the level of donations and the trading risk the investment of the fund is exposed to. Performance against this reserve level will be monitored by the Charitable Funds Committee on an annual basis and any changes to this policy need to be agreed by the Committee. Designated Funds held by the charity are detailed in note 16.
About our investments
The Charitable Funds Committee determines the investment policy for trust funds. The aim of the policy is to optimise the investment income received, while ensuring that the capital value of the funds is not eroded.
The investments are held with independent fund managers. Cash balances are held in RBS bank accounts.
To ensure that appropriate advice and guidance is available the following has been agreed:
• The Charitable Fund Committee has the delegated authority to appoint fund managers.
-
Fund Managers will be required to submit quarterly performance reports.
-
Fund managers will be reviewed on a 3 yearly basis.
The main aims of the policy are as follows:
-
There should be a balanced portfolio.
-
The investment style is conservative.
-
Refrain from direct investment in tobacco related companies.
-
No direct investment exposure through overseas shares.
• Any working capital balance will be retained with the charity's RBS accounts which are distinct from the West London NHS Trust's account.
As at 31 March 2025 the charty holds one investment fund with M&G. During the year, the equity investments have shown an increase of 4.27% (2023/24 - decrease of 1.83%), and generated income at 5.99% (2023/24: 5.19%).
Cash deposits returned a rate of interest of 3.26% (2022/23: 3.29%). Interest rates started to rise during 2022/23 and were high throughout 2023/24 and 2024/25 which has increased the annual return percentage.
For the year ended 31 March 2025 the Trust has no social investment policies.

Statement of Trustee's responsibilities in respect of the Trustee's annual report and accounts
Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of expenditure over income for that period. The trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject
• state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• assess the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
• use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Accounts
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Charities Act 2011.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.
In compliance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 governance costs are classified as support costs and have therefore been apportioned between fundraising activities and charitable activities. There is no effect on the total expenditure.
The analysis of support costs, including governance costs, is shown in note 9.
Cash and cash equivalents: previously investments held in a 90 day access savings account have been shown separately on the face of the balance sheet. As these are very liquid funds they are classified as cash equivalents and are now shown as part of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. There is no impact on the total funds of the charity. An analysis of cash and cash equivalents is provided in note 13.
1.3 Funds structure
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified as a restricted fund.
Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose.
Those funds which are not restricted, are unrestricted funds reflecting the non-binding wishes of donors and are at the trustees’ discretion. The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 16.
Page 10
CHARITABLE FUNDS-WEST LONDON NHS TRUST -2024/25
1.4 Incoming resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be met until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.
1.5 Incoming resources from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.
Receipt is probable when:
• Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted
• The executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and
• All conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity’s control.
If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.
1.6 Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:
-
There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event
-
It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required
-
in settlement
-
The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
1.7 Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs and IT support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. The analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment applied are shown in note 8.
1.8 Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 6.
Page 11
CHARITABLE FUNDS-WEST LONDON NHS TRUST -2024/25
1.8 Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highlight liquid investments, usually held in a business bank account.
1.10 Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.
Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long term creditors.
1.11 Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later).
2 Related party transactions
During the year none of the members of the charitable funds committee or parties related to them has undertaken any material transactions with the West London NHS Charity.
3 Trustee and Connected Persons Transactions
West London NHS Trust is a connected organisation of the charity. The turnover of the Trust in 2024/25 was £541m, with an adjusted retained surplus of £0.2m (2023/24: £451m and £3m respectively).

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes 1-15.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. Where the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified Fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
(1) In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulation 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of independent examination.
(2) I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
