length of slay in hospital and post-treatment complicalions. and improve recovery, fitness. nutritional status, neuro-cognitive function
and overall quality of lrfe. The programme, which is n¢)w in ils third year after a very sucos5ful pilot, has helped people living with
cancer to physically ané mentslly prepare for treatment by adopting healthy behaviours with the ultimate aim of improving outcomes for
them. Motivated by the positive impact on our pabenis, the Siars Appeal sought a partnership with NHS Charities Together and

The Hospital Environment- Development of Gynae Outpatients
The Stars Appeal has helped Gynaecology patients and staff by funding top of the line medical facilities and equipment for the
Outpalienls Department. The Charty also made possible the creation, fitting and equipping of the Bluebell Suite. The Suite is a new
treatment room for patients under the medical management of eady pregnancy miscarriages. an experience that is extremely difficult,
physically and emotionally. and potentially traumatic to pabenls and their families. Thanks to Stars Appeal funding, families who sadly
suffer earfy pregnancy miscarriage can now be offered the choice to have sensits.ve pr0￿dureS, such as Manual Vacuum Aspiration, in
a comforting, calming and safe environment for patients and their partners at such a delicate ts.me in their lives. The funding also

whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial slatements, the corrx)rate trnstee is restM)nsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
corporate trustee either intends lo liquidate the charity or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative bul to do so.
Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of Ihe Charibes Aci 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant
regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misststemenl, whether due lo fraud or e￿Or, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran￿ is a high
level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always delect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and a￿ considered material if. individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to Inffluen￿ the economic decisions ol users laken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are InStan￿S of nOn-ttJmplian￿ with laws and regulalions. We design prO￿dureS in line with our
responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of l￿egUla￿tieS. including fraud. The extent lo which our
procedures are c8pable of dete¢ting irregularities. including fraud, is detailed below:
We ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate (£Knpetence, capabilities and skills lo identfy and re￿nISe
non-complian￿ with applicable laws and regulations and they remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.,
We identified Ihe legal and regulatory requirements appliGoble lo the charity through discussions with those charged wilh governance
and management, and from our knowledge and experience of the Charity sector., and
We ensured that the laws and regulations which we identiffed were communicAted to the engagement team and that they remained alert
to instances of non- compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceplibilily of the charity's financial slalements to material mis-slalement. including obtsining an understanding of
how fraud might occur, by..
making enquiries of management as to their assessmenl of Ihe risk of fraud and their kno￿edge of actual, suspected or alleged., and
considering the effectiveness of internal controls to mitigate the risks of fraud and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations.
Page 13

Trustee's 2023124 Annual Report for Salisbury District Hospital Charitable Fund
We addressed the risk of fraud through management bias and the over-ride of controls by assessing whether judgements and
assumptions rllade by management were indicative of polenkn.al bias and by inve5th"gating the rationale behind signrficanl or unusual
transactions. In order to address the risk of irregularities we Carried out procedures which included ag￿eIng the financial statements to
underlying documentation and enquiring of management as to actual and potentsal litigation and instances of non-¢ornplian¢e.
We obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to Ihe audit in order to design procedures that are appropriate to our audit
objectives, bul not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitys internal control.
There are inherent limitations in these audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from
financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would be aware of non-¢omplian¢e. Auditing standards also limit the procedures
required to identify non-compliance to enquiry of management and inspection of relevant corresponden￿. Furthermore misstatements
due to fraud can be harder to delect that those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Finanual ReFX)rting Council's
website al.. Iwww.frc.org.ukJaudrtorsreswJnsibilrtiesl. This description forrns part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report

regulations rnade under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken 50 that we might slate lo the Charity's corporate
trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
