In March 1997. by virtue of section 96 of the Charities Act 1993. all charitable funds previously held on trust by
the then Royal Berkshire and Battle Hospitals NHS Trust (comprising 17 spe¢ial purpose charities) were brought

and capital endowment funds..

the fund may be applied for a Specific or non-specific purpose but where the capital is held to generate
income and where the Corporate Trustee has no discretion to spend the capital.

Subsequent donations and gifts received by the Charity are added to those fund balances within the existing

The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust is the sole beneficiary of the Charity and is a related party by virtue
of being Corporate Trustee of the Charity. By working in partnership with the TrusL the Corporate Trustee
ensures charitable funds are used to best effect with referen￿ to the main activities, objectives, strategies and

Volunteers
On behalf of the Trustee body, the Charity would like to pay tribute to the volunteers who give their lime in support
ofourwork.
Our 20 committed, regular volunteers provide sUPPOrt in a variety of ways, including undertaking administrative
tasks in the office, dispensing leaflets across the hospital sites and in the community, assisting al fundraising
events, and managing the regular distribution and collection of charity collection tin5 placed in local shops.
As expected, the impact of the pandemic continued to pose challenges on a number of our volunteer activities
earlier in the year. However. the reintroduction of community events lo our fundraising calendar later in 2021
saw the retum of a fuller offering of volunteer opportunities.
We are actively recruiting volunteers and aim over the coming year lo increase our volunteer base to 35.

emergency appeal.

The abilty of the Charity to continue its vital support to the Trust is dependent on ils capability to raise funds from
the general public. It also continues lo forge strong relationships with members of NHS staff whose co-operation

Annual Revlew 2021122: hlghllghts from the activltles undertaken In the year
Our key aim is to serve the NHS patients of Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust for the public benefit. By
funding equipment, refurbishment works and staff training we help the Trust to provide care to their patients
which goes beyond that funded by the slate.
We put this into practice by raising funds for projects that..
Help to buy the most up-to-date equipment
Support rebuilding and refurbishment projects
Provide better facilities for patients and visitors
Improve staff well-being and training for the benefit of patient care
We do this through a range of programmes funded by our supporters and grant giving organisalions such as
NHS Charitses Together. Highlights from some of our projects undertaken in the year are detailed below to give
you a deeper understanding of the difference we can make together to the care and experience people from our
local communities receive.
Buying the most up-to-date equipment
Donations are often are used to provide new equipment that enhances the care that patients receive. For
example during 2021-22 £30k of chariliable funds was used to purchase electroencephalography IEEGI
diagnostic equipment for 8 new EEG service, for the management of patients with epilepsy, coma and other
neurological conditions. The new service, which is offered at only a few district hospitals in the UK, means
patients will no longer have to travel to the regional neuroscienees centre for EEG recordings bul can be seen
by a neurophysiology technician closer to home. The groundwork for the service took place in 2021122 and is
expected to be fully operational in 2022123.
A grant of £108k was invested on a patient education app for ren81 patients living with chronic kidney disease
ICKDI and acute kidney injury IAKII. This interactive patient education progr8mme available in 5 languages
(English, Nepalese. Urdu, Punjabi and Polish) via a mobile phone app provides additional support to patients in
the self-managemenl of their CKD and AKI, empowering them to develop healthy, preventative behaviours to
help them slay well for longer. This in turn will lead to better outcomes and reduced demand on renal services
for CKD care.
A further £68k of funding was awarded to the Berkshire Cancer Centre for the purchase of six scalp coolers for
cancer patients to help reduce hair loss whilst undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and £14k on three Bilicocoon
phototherapy units for Irealing babies with jaundice, allowing mothers lo continue feeding their babies without
separation or interruption to jaundice treatment.
Supporting rebuilding and refurbishment projects
As Covid-19 moves from a pandemic to an endemic disease, staff continue to work in pressured circumstances
and staff welfare therefore continues lo be a particular focus forthe Trust. The charity is working on ajoinl project
with the Trust to create a permanent wellbeing facility for the benefit of all 6000 staff and volunteers, with a
contribution of £1.6m to the overall cost, thanks to an extremely generous donation of £1 m in 2020121 for this
PUTPOSe.
The Staff Wellbeing Centre and extensive adjoining garden will offer a wide range of health and wellbeing
services, including dedicated spaces for psychological supporL gym equipment. quiet spaces for relaxation,
along with wellness classes and rehabilitation activities.
The centre has been subject lo a number of delays for several reasons, including unforeseen difficulties due to
the building's age and listed status, and supply chain issues as a result of Covid-19 and Brexit. The Centre has
now opened in October 2022.
A generous grant of £132k r￿1Ved from NHS Charities Together is supporting the provision of gym equipment,
furniture, conference facilities, arts and crafts resources, and garden fumiture.
In addition to this major refurbishment project, we have also undertaken a number of smaller projects, such as
refurbishing a quiet room on our rheumatology ward, and also refurbishing staff and patient areas in the Diabetes
Cenlre. Feedback has been extremely positive, with users commenting on the space feeling more spacious.

Providing better facilities for patients and visitors
Patient welfare is at the heart of all that we do and we are committed to improving facilities and the hospital
environment for both patients and the staff who care for them.
In 2021122 we resumed our Paediatric Appeal to raise £44k for 44 reclining chairs to vastly improve overnight
sleeping facilities for parents in our paedialric ward. The appeal was originally launched in 2020121 bul was pul
on hold for a year due lo the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We have raised enough funds to
purchase ten chairs in 2021122, and replace the existing uncomfortable camping beds that were over 20 years
old and not fil for purpose, wlh vibrant, colourful reclining chairs. Our aim is to raise funds lo purchase the
remaining 34 chairs during 2022-23.
Other improvements for patients and their families have included brightening up our specialist Children's Cent
with murals painted by a local artist in ten clinical rooms and along the corridors to create a more child-friendly
and less clinical environment, and installing an ICU equipment diagram board infographic on unused wall space
lo better inform relatives and help them to become familiar with the ICU terminology that Is used.
Improve staff wellbeing and training for the benefit of patient care
Ensuring staff are well trained and supported beneffls the quality of care they can provide. During 2021122 we
spent £238k on staff education and welfare inilialives, compared with £178k in the previous year. This significant
increase reflects how education and training provisions were able to begin to resume posl-pandemic, and also
the charity's commitment lo staff wellbeing as they continue to operate in challenging circumstances.
We have funded numerous courses, ¢onferences and further education such as Msc programmes and
Postgraduate Certificates. We have also funded training equipment. for example contributing £13.6k to a
simulation mannequin that is used Trust-wide for mulli-professional scenaiio training.
A grant of £36k was also awarded for a pilot BAME internship project. aimed at increasing representation of
BAME colleagues al a senior management level across the Trust. Over a six month period four interns worked
alongside their placement manager for two days a week. The interns also had access to executive and board
level shadowing, coaching. 360 appraisal and developrnent of leadership competencies. The feedback from the
pilot project was extremely positive. with all candidates applying for senior roles during their intemship, and
improved performance in interviews with one BAME candidate securing a senior role.
NHS Charitles Together cornmunity welfare grant
The quality of wsl-discharge support that an older person receives can be a key delemiinanl lo their long-lemi
recovery and subsequent quality of life. At the same time there is a complex inler-relalionship between social
circumstances and health which means that social i501alion and loneliness are risk factors for hospital
admissions. With sUPPOrt from a NHS Charities Together commumrsity welfare grant the Trust, in partnership
with Link Visiting and Age UK Berkshire, two local charities which provide friendship and dementia support
services for older people, implemented a project to provide a social support pathway a5 part of the hospital
discharge process for older patients identified as having limited family or social support, and IherefoFe al risk of
lonliness and isolation, and for those suffering from early-stage dementia.
This grant was wholly administered by Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund
NHS Charities Together Covid-19 recovery grant
Throughout Covid-19 our hard-working NHS staff demonstrated remarkable resilience, however, the many
demands and challenges of the pandemic have taken their toll. To assist with the recovery and ongoing health
and wellbeing needs of the diverse workforce at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. the charity and the
Trust embarked on a joint project to provide a permanent health and wellbeing facility at the main hospital site in
Reading Ireferereced earlier in Supporting rebuilding and refurbishment projeclsl.
Funds from the NHS CT Covid-19 recovery grant have been used to purchase equipment for the new wellbeing
centre and garden, including exercise equipment, therapeutic aid5, and furniture, as well as arts and crafts items
and garden tools. All of which will help to support the health, wellbeing and psychological needs of ouf 6000 staff
and volunteers.

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundab'on Trust Charity
How we funded our work
The following figures are taken from the financial statements, which can be tsken from pages 22 10 35.
Many donations received by the charity are assigned for specific wards and departments. When unspecified
donations are received these are deposited into the charities 'gener81' fund. These 'general' funds allow the
charity to support project$ where Ihere is strong evidence that charitable funding will transform patient care.
Income: funds recelved
£1,557k of income was received for 2021122, whi¢h remained in Ilne with previous years despite the challenges
posed by Covid-19 measures. A decrease of £1,092k in income was seen compared to 202012021 - this was
due to the very generous donation of £1 M received in 2020121 from a local family.
£758k was raised through donations and fundraising thanks lo the amazing support the charity continues to
receive from its loc21 communities and through the limited events the charity was able to host. This show of
gratitude is a tribute lo all staff across the Trust for their commitment and dedication to providing the best possible
care for their patients and the communities they serve. We were also grateful for the support of NHS Charities
Together. whose grants in 2021122 tolalled £132k.
Regrettably, due to the rise in Omicron during December 2021, a decision was made lo postpone the charity's
inaugural Thanksgiving to the NHS Carol Concert al Reading Minster which was another hil for our events income
however, the event has been rescheduled for De￿rnter 2022 and we are very much looking forward to
welcoming guests.
Legacies also fomied a significant proportion of total income al £793k with the single largest legacy gift of £220k
received for our renal services.
A large number of gifts in kind were also received for staff from the grateful public who were keen to show their
support of the local NHS in other ways.
Future levels of incorne
The Charlly is reliant on donatlons and fundraising lo allow11 lo make grants to support the work of the Trust. If
income falls then the charity would be unable to make as many grants.
The public's support of the NHS has been demonslraled through the donations received during the Covid-19
pandemic, particularly the national emergency appeal managed by NHS Charities Together. The social
distancing measures and restrictions on holding events in place in 2020 and 2021 affected our fundraising events
income, although overall income was maintained.
The NHS has a huge task ahead to catch up on the backlog of treatment due lo the pandemic and we still need
the help of our supporters. However, there is a risk that the goodwill shown for the NHS al the start of Covid-19
is starting to wane which will make fundraising more challenging.
Added to this is the current increase in inflation and the cost of living., Polling of the public carried out by the
Charities Aid Foundation {CAFI earlier this year found that 14DA of people plan to cul back on charity donations
in the next six months to help manage their bills. The charity will continue to review any impact during 2022123
and ensure this is appropriately recorded and reported.
The Charity continues to expEore opportunities to increase income to ensure it can fulfil its objectives.
Expendlture: funds spent
Generous donations and fundraislng have continued lo allow us to enhance the work of the Trust for the benefit
of our patients and staff, providing equipment, training, and supporting projects above and beyond that available
from government funding.
Expenditure on charitable activities for 2021122 tolaled £1,633k, and increased across all four of our main
programme areas compared with the previous year. The Staff Wellbeing Centre and Garden has been a major
project for the charity that will continue into 2022123. with over £500k spent in 2021122. In addition, we have
spent £261 k on a wide range of medical equipment across the Trust and £238k on staff education and welfare.
Page 13 of39

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Charity
Some of our projects include-.
£7k on paedialric video laryngoscopy equipment for intubating critically unwell children. Respiratory
syncytial virus IRSVI is a common virus amongst young children. however small babies younger than 6
months who become infected commonly end up in ICU needing intubation. Current intubation methods
can be very traumatic {20/0 result in cardiac arrest) and this new equipmer¢l mitigates risks of
complications
£5k on a mini-nephroscope instrument for treating kidney stones allowing for significantly lower chance
of bleeding and damage to the kidney
£10k for a urology mini dual laser to allow urologists to operate on bladder cancers under local
anaesthetie as day cases, enabling around 100-150 patients a year to have a cystoscopy in the
outpatient setting under local anaeslhelic rather than a general anaesthelic. This vastly reduces the
clinical risk to the patient. as well as improving recovery times
£8.5k purchased a Delta Advance electric standing frame to encourage early mobilisation of stroke
patients getting them back to standing as early as possible helping to improve long term outcomes and
recovery
£22k for a research nurse for a Public Health Covid research programme to help identify effective
treatments, and enable large data sets lo feed into and inform Government statistics
£13k on 23 sanitisation stations to improve Covid-security for patients, relatNes and staff, allowing easy
access to masks and hand saniliser
Funding was also granted for a variety of lower-value projects which provided significant impact on patient
experience and care, and staff welfare. Examples of purchases include..
£1.1 k on a visual sound warning system to monitor ambient disturbance and reduce sound levels on ICU
to help with patient experience and recovery, and reduce the physiological and psychological impact of
poor sleep and rest.
£4k was awarded for a Molomed which helps exercise and improve arm and leg mobility in children with
disabilities
A contribution of £1k was made towards a Quest 88 kitten tricycle for a specific patient with cerebral
palsy lo enable strengthening of lower limbs and participation in family cycling
Installation of additional cycle racks at £2.4k to support the Trusfs sustainable travel strategy
£3k on the Stroke Odyssey movement project whieh is a dance and movement project to aid with stroke
rehabilitation and recovery

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Charity 

## Report on the audit of the financial statements 

## Opinion 

In our opinion the financial statements of Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Charity (the ‘charity’): 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the trust deed. 

- We have audited the financial statements which comprise: 

- the Statement of Financial Activities; 

- the Balance Sheet; 

- the Statement of Cash Flows; and 

- the Related Notes 1 to 19. 

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). 

## 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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s (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 charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. 

## 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 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 the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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 FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. 



We considered the nature of the charity’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the charity’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that: 

- had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included the Charities Act and Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 

- do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. 

We discussed among the audit engagement team including significant component audit teams and relevant internal specialists such as valuations specialists regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. 

As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations in the following areas, and our specific procedures performed to address it are described below: 

- potential for fraud regarding whether legacy income has been recognised in the correct year: we understood the key controls and inspected evidence on a sample basis to confirm that income was recognised in the correct year. 

- potential for fraud regarding whether legacy income and donation income is correctly classified in terms of restricted or unrestricted income: we understood key controls and agreed correspondence from donors and approved fund requisitions to confirm that this was recognised correctly in terms of restricted or unrestricted income. 

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. 

- In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following: 

- reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements; 

- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; 

- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and 

- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing internal audit reports. 



## Report on other legal and regulatory requirements 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

Under the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 we are required to report in respect of the following matters if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

We have nothing to report in respect of these matters. 

## 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.

Trustee in accordance with Charity Act 2011 as amended by the Charity Act 2016., Charity {Accounls and
Reports) regulation 2008., and Financial Reporting Standard 102 IFRS 102 SORP 2019). In preparing the
Annual Report the Corporate Trustee has complied with the duly to include a report of those aclwilies undertaken
by the Charity to further ils charitable purposes for the public benefit.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of investment
properties that are measured at fair value al the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting
policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the
goods and services.
The accounts have been prepared on the going concem basis, which assumes the Charity will continue for the
foreseeable future. The Corporate Trustee believe that there are no material uncertainties that can call in to doubt
the Charities ability to continue in operation.

b)
Funds Slructure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.
The restriction may apply lo the use of income or capital or both. Where the restriction requires the gift to be
invested lo produce income but the Corporate Trustee has the power lo spend the capital. it is classed as
expendable endowment.
Permanent endowment funds are funds where the donor has expressly provided that only the income of the fund
may be applied for a specific or non-specific purpose bul where the capital is held to generate income and where
the Corporate Trustee has no discretion to expend the capilaS.
The Charity has two permanent endowment funds
CIP Icapilal in perpetuity} MG Harding- Staff
CIP (Capital in perpetuity) MG Harding - Patients
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the Corporate Tfustee is free to use for any purpose in the
furtherance of the charitable objects. Income generated from assets held in the unreslricled funds is unrestricted
income. Unreslricled funds include designated funds learmarkedl, where the donor has made known their non-
binding wishes or where the Corporate Trustee. at its discretion. has created a fund for a specific purpose, often
reflecting the wishes of the donors and which are at the Corporate Trustee discretion.
The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 13 on page 33.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement lo the resources. il is probable or more
likely than not lo be received and the monetary value of incoming reSoU￿S can be measured with sufficient
reliability-
Page 25 of39

d}
Incoming resources from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is
probable or more likely than not lo be received,. this will be once confirmation has been received from the
representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will be made and onTr all conditions attached to the
legacy have been fulfilled. Note 9 on page 31 shows more details of this.
Material legacies, which have been notified but not recognised as incoming resources in the Statement of
Financial Activities due lo uncertainty over the amount and timing of expected receipt are not included in the
year-end Financial Slalements but are disclosed in a separate note to the Financial Slalements with an estimate
of the amount receivable. Refer to note 9 on page 31.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised wheri o liabillly is incurred. Expenditure is recognised only when the payment is made
or when the goods or services have been supplied and a liability has been established.
Grants are made only to the 501e beneficiary of the Charity, 'The Royal Berkshire NHS Foltndalion Ttusy and in
furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charity. A liability for such grants is recognised only when there is a
legal or conslruclive obligation commillirsg the Charity lo the expenditure.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resour￿$ expended for which il was incurred.
g)
Income tax
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore il
meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income lax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially
exempl from laxalion in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 10 Income
Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxalion of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or
gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
h)
Allocation of support costs
Support costs have been allocated between charitable actwilies for the year in proportion to total spend and are
included in the statement of financial activities and shown separately in note 5 on page 29.
Costs of generating funds
The costs of generating funds are the c05t of the Charity fundraising staff, including salaries. and investment
fund management fees.
Charitable activities
All charitable activities are solely for the benefit of the beneficiary NHS Trust 'The Royal Berkshire NHS
Foundation Trust, and the Cotporate Trustee operates a scherne of delegation. through which all activity is

regulations sel out by the Corporate Trustee in charity and NHS Trust financial procedures and financial
inslruclions. The Charity does not make grants lo individuals. The total cost is disclosed in the activity analysis

Investment properties
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably on an ongoing basis are measured at fair
value annually with any change recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Page 26 of 39

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Charity
The fair values are based on valuations estimated by third party professional value5', however, where propetties
are acquired close to the balance sheet date, valuations are not obtained because the acquired properties are
recorded al open market value upon initial recognition, which management considers to be a reasonable estimate
of open market value at the balance sheet date. Property transactions are recognised on the date of completion.
Investment properties are derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising
on de-recognilion of the property Icalculaled as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in profil or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
Melrose House is an investment property which was revalued in March 2022. The fair value for the year ending
31 March 2022 is £400k.
The property Melrose House is rented currently exclusively lo Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust to support
the delivery of diabetes healthcare services. In conlinualion of the existing agreement between Royal Berkshire
NHS Foundation Trust and RDHC, the charity has charged a reduced rent of £1.201£1 plus VATI for the year.
The property has been classified as an investment property as is held in the longer term for returns from rentals
or capital appreciation.
Fixed asset investments
Investments are slated at market value as al the balance sheet date. The Charity investment advisors supply the
valuation for the investment. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on
revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Curient Oebtors
Debtors include amounts owed to the charity for the provision of goods and services and amounts the charity
has paid in advance in the form of prepayments. for the goods and serVI￿S it will receive. Also included are
amounts not invoiced bul accrued. Debtors are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
Current asset investments
Short terni investments are classified as current asset investments. Short term investments represent cash funds
held in separate investment deposit accounts (Government Banking Service and Scottish Widows 90 day}
and are held al fair value. Scottish Widows 90 day funds are accessible in 90 days on demand and Government
Banking servi￿ as and when needed thus considered short term investments only.
The Scottish Widows 90 day funds and amounts held in with the Government Banking Service were previously
classified as short term investments as these were originally held pending reinveslmenl in other investment
classes. However, it has subsequently been decided that these funds will not be reinvested in other investment
classes. and that therefore they form part of the cash base of the charity. As the funds are accessible within 90
days, they have been reclassifted in the current year into cash and cash equivalents. For more information, see
Note 9.
p)
Current Liabilities
All the Charity costs incurred within the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust are fully rechargeable to the
Charity therefore the Charity liabilities are payable to the inlerrnediate entity, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation
Trust.
ql
Financial Instruments
The charity a¢counts for basic financial instruments namely financial assets and financial liabilities. A financial
asset represents financial resources available to the charity and examples include financial investments in shares
or bonds, debtors and cash. A financial liability is a financial claim on the charity's resources and examples
include loans, creditors and legal or conslruclive obligations. including provisions for grants payable.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial adivities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on
investments are Calculated as the differen￿ between sales proceeds and book ¢05t. Unrealised gains and losses
are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year-end and opening market value lor market
value al purchase date if later).

judgements. estimates and assumptions about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from the other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimated uncertainty
The Corporate Trustee does not consider that there are any critical judgements or sources of eslimalion
uncertainty which present a significant Tisk of causing a material adjustment to the financial statements within
the reporting period.
Valuation of investment properties
During March 2022, an investment property valuation was undertaken for the building owned by the Charity. As
part of this exercise il is necessary for the Gerald Eve LLP, an independent firm of professional Valuers, lo
assess the current market environment in relation lo the value of the buildings, and associated land, and
estimates the value of these landlbuilding assets based on this assessment. Judgments considered reli8bilily

to make judgements lolher than those involving estimatKJns} that have a significant impact on the amounts
recognised and to make estimates and assumption5 about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are

experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

All financial liabilities are fixed rate.
All the Charity's financial assets and liabilities, with the ex￿ptIOn of cash held in UK banks, carry a nil or fixed
rate of interest. The Trust is not, Iherefore, exposed to significant interest rate risks. No financial instruments are
measured at fair value through the profil and loss.
The vast majority of charity monies are don8led.' these monies have been donated by members of the public,
patients and staff. There is therefore an inherent element of liquidity risk if donations fall significantly below
current levels.
The majority of the financial contracts entered into by the Charity are with the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation
Trust. the intermediate parent of the Charity, which significantly reduces the risk of non-payment
The Trust knows of no other specifi¢ risks relating lo individual inslrumenls.
