The Trustees present the annual report and financial statements for Health Stars Charity, covering the operational
year ending on 31 March 2025. The charity has adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities:

Foreword
Welcome to our Annual Report for 2024/2025.
Health Stars is the charity of Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. Together we create better healthcare and
brighter futures for people across East Yorkshire, Hull, and North Yorkshire.
Last year the Trust Board made the decision to bring Health Stars back into Trust management after being led by
an external charity.
This decision meant the potential for greater fundraising, a stronger cultural impact within our organisation, and
a closer connection with our valued colleagues.
By embedding the charity within the Trust, together we can ensure fundraising efforts align more closely with
the priorities of our staff and patients, fostering a deeper sense of community and shared purpose.
It has been a year of setting strong foundations, building our dedicated team, and reconnecting with staff and
supporters. The team have worked hard to realign our mission with the needs of the NHS and ensure that every
initiative we support has a direct and meaningful impact on patient care or staff wellbeing. This transition has
allowed us to strengthen our governance, enhance collaboration, and reaffirm our commitment to making a
difference in our communities.
It has been a privilege to see the growth and development of the charity over the last twelve months and we
look forward to seeing it go from strength to strength in the year ahead.
Introduction
We are delighted to present our Annual Report for 2024/2025.
First and foremost, we extend our deepest gratitude to our Trustees, staff, volunteers, and dedicated supporters.
Your support has enabled us to make a meaningful difference to patients, staff, and communities across Hull,
East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.
The financial year 2024/25 has been a period of both challenges and progress for the NHS and our charity. In the
face of ongoing pressures on healthcare services, we have continued to provide vital funding and support for
projects that enhance patient care, staff wellbeing, and innovation. Despite economic uncertainties, the
generosity of our donors, fundraisers, and partners has allowed us to invest in initiatives that truly matter.
Every donation, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in helping us go beyond what core NHS funding can
provide. From improving clinical environments to providing vital equipment and enhancing staff welfare, your
13)

support ensures we can make a lasting difference. We deeply value the trust placed in us by our supporters and
we remain committed to delivering the best possible outcomes and sharing the impact you enable us to have.
This year, thanks to your generosity, we have been able to been able to give welcome packs to all patients who
attend sessions with our Complex Emotional Needs team, provide equipment such as a punch-bag for PICU, a
table tennis table for the Humber Centre, and arts and crafts supplies for young people having treatment for an
eating disorder.
Each of these achievements represents our mission in action, demonstrating the power of collective giving and
the impact it has on the healthcare services provided by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.
We have also been privileged to host and participate in several memorable events and fundraising campaigns
over the year. Some of the standout moments include funding a Christmas party for residents at Townend Court
and supporting our team of runners at the Humber Bridge Half Marathon.
These moments showcase the dedication and passion of our supporters, and we are immensely grateful for every
effort made to champion our cause.
As we move into the next year, we remain steadfast in our mission to enhance NHS services, support staff, and
improve patient outcomes. With your continued generosity, we will keep making a difference where it is needed
most.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has played a part in our journey this year. Your kindness, dedication, and
belief in our work inspires us every day.
Health Stars
Who we are
Health Stars' objectives and legal charitable purpose, outlines that it's income and/or capital will be used for any
charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service.
Health Stars' mission is to create better healthcare and brighter futures for people across East Yorkshire, Hull,
and North Yorkshire.
The donations that we receive help enhance the health care and experiences of thousands of people using
mental health, neurodiversity, learning disability, children's and young people and local NHS services every day.
We fund equipment that NHS budgets do not cover, make our buildings more attractive and therapeutic, and
provide the little extras that make a visit or stay in our services that little bit brighter.
We help ease the burden on families offering comfort through treatment and reducing boredom.
Donations also help us say an extra special thank you to our incredible team, making them feel appreciated,
supported and healthy at work.
What we do
Our goals are aligned with the Trust's strategic goals with the focus of improving the lives of patients, their
families, and healthcare staff.

Health Stars will achieve its purpose by funding expenditure on:
• Enhanced Experiences
Items that support the delivery of patient care but are not considered a core item by the NHS. Health Stars also
supports services to buy the best version or state of the art version of a piece of equipment.
• Enhanced Environments
When we build new facilities, donations help fund the added extras like family friendly waiting spaces, decoration
and upgraded items of furniture.
• Patient & Visitor Experience
We fund items that improve the patient and visitor experience, raise spirits and make treatment more
comfortable and help make attending appointments a more positive experience.
• Supporting & Thanking Staff
We provide items or experiences that improve the health, wellbeing and employee experience. We find ways to
say thank you and to show our appreciation to those staff that go above and beyond for our patients and their
families.
Our Mission
By raising money and careful management of our existing funds, Health Stars provides a public benefit by making
grants to Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.
Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution and the wishes and directions of donors. In
making grants, we endeavour to reflect the wishes of patients and staff by directing funds towards areas they
tell us are most in need.
During the year 2024/25, grants totalling £9,991 were made. In addition, we granted 37 wishes that had been
made pre-transfer to the new management structure totalling grants of £61,945.
As a registered NHS charity, we adhere to the highest standards of governance and transparency. We follow
Charity Commission guidance to ensure our work is ethical, effective, and aligned with best practices.
By adhering to these guidelines, we maintain the highest level of integrity and accountability, ensuring that every
pound raised is used effectively to support NHS staff, patients, and communities.
Our plans are to continue to increase our level of fundraising to achieve our target of £300,000 by the end April
2027 which will help us work with our NHS partners to enable better healthcare and brighter futures for our
communities.
[5]

We work hard to make sure the money donated to us is spent where it is needed most, and we produce a
separate Impact Report which gives more detail about how the charitable income is spent and the difference it
has made to our patients and their families. Our impact report will be available on the Health Stars website.
Activities, achievements and performance
Through raising £352,555 in 2024/25 together with management of our existing funds, Health Stars been able to
release £71,936 to Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust in line with the Charity's aims and objectives.
Through a range of programmes funded by donations, legacies and grants, Health Stars funds equipment,
experience and environments that NHS budgets do not cover.
We make our buildings more attractive and therapeutic and provide the little extras that make a visit or stay in
our services that little bit brighter. We help ease the burden on families offering comfort through treatment and
reducing boredom.
We also fund projects and ideas that say an extra special thank you to Trust staff, making them feel appreciated,
supported and healthy at work.
As well as distributing funds we have made significant progress on the operational priorities against our charity
goals.
Our operational plan outlines a clear and actionable roadmap for Health Stars. It is driven by our new vision,
mission, values, translating these foundations into actionable strategies and day-to-day activities.
This plan serves as a testament to our commitment to deliver our vision to build better healthcare and brighter
futures for people across Hull, East Yorkshire & North Yorkshire. To do this we must increase donations and
support but that must be combined with utilising our charitable funds by engaging our staff and supporting their
applications for grants through our 'Wishes' and 'Dreams' programmes.
As a new service with a new team there was significant groundwork to be done to establish an effective and
efficient charity operation. This work needed to ensure a successful future for the charity and underpin the
fundraising activities that have now been established.
The operational plan was informed by our staff and services. Their honest and insightful feedback combined with
research of the sector, conversations with other NHS charity leaders and NHS Charities Together helped shape
our plans.
With the support of our leaders, services and our staff, we have begun to turn this vision into reality and make a
significant, positive impact our patient, their families, our staff and the communities we serve.
In reviewing the activity against our goals we have shared some examples of the difference our fundraising has
made. Our Impact Report shares more fantastic examples of how we have made a difference in 2024/25. You
can read it on the Health Stars website. It's a celebration of our successes this year, a huge thank you to our
donors and a great way to show the impact of the grants we have funded and events we have run.
Goal 1: Support the delivery of outstanding patient care
On taking management Health Stars in-house, our first priority was to establish an efficient and effective charity.
To do this we established a Charity Action Group to oversee the charity's management on behalf of the Corporate
Trustees. This group brought together Fund Guardians who represent our clinical divisions as well as the charity
and finance teams.
[6]

We reviewed governance arrangements to ensure compliance with legislation and best practices, rationalised
the number of funds, and developed key policies and procedures.
To improve efficiency we introduced a streamlined charitable funds application process, ensuring grants are
awarded promptly while adhering to procurement and financial regulations. Additionally, we implemented a new
customer relationship management (CRM) system to enhance donor engagement and fundraising efforts.
We developed a fundraising plan to further strengthen our impact and sustainability. Through this we set a target
to be in the upper quartile of staff survey benchmark group which means increasing our annual income to
£300,000 within three years.
Goal 2: Enhance healthcare experiences and outcomes
This year, we collaborated with divisions to proactively identify charitable projects and worked closely with the
Estates team to integrate a Health Stars workstream into major estates projects.
Relaunching our grants as 'Wishes' and 'Dreams' and streamlining the approval process for charitable funds has
improved efficiency, inspiring confidence and encouraging more applications.
We now have active plans for 6 dreams across 3 divisions and have launched our first appeal, the 'Better Days
Appeal' to fund a dayroom at Fitzwilliam Ward, Malton Community Hospital.
To measure our impact, we developed a robust evaluation process for funded projects and established effective
impact reporting, ensuring we can clearly demonstrate the difference our charity makes.
Goal 3: Improve staff health, wellbeing and development
We partnered with the HR and Workforce Directorate, including the Workforce Wellbeing Team, to explore how
charitable funds can support the delivery of the People Plan. This included plans to enhance the Staff Awards,
recognising and celebrating our dedicated workforce.
To strengthen engagement, we began recruiting Charity Champions across services to increase awareness and
understanding of our work. Additionally, we provided guidance and training to staff, empowering them to
support fundraising efforts and further our charitable impact.
Goal 4: Improve the health and wellbeing of our communities
This year, we developed and implemented a Communications Plan to raise the charity's profile and increase
charitable giving.
We relaunched the charity lottery and the 'Microhive' salary giving scheme, whilst also growing our supporter
base through targeted recruitment.
Locally we began to proactively engage with our staff to involve them in the work of the charity and the funding
decisions we make.
Regionally we built links with corporate partners through the CEO Challenge which was supported by 14 local
companies. We will continue to build these relationships as we develop our corporate supporter offer in 2025/26.
We laid the foundations for our first community grant project as we prepared to launch our Mental Health Small
Grants Scheme in Hull. We are proud to be able to administer this scheme on behalf of the Trust in 2025/26.
Previously administered by the HEY Smile Foundation in 2022/23, the grants aim to support initiatives that tackle
health inequality and improve mental health and wellbeing.
We also established our first event partnership by becoming the first charity partner for the Humber Bridge Half
Marathon. This partnership will enable up to 50 people take part in the run free of charge with all their
171

sponsorship coming directly to the charity. It also gives us access to the Run for Charity database of over 200
events across the country that we can offer to our supporters with guaranteed entry.
We also launched our first calendar of fundraising events including a Golf Day, local runs and the Yorkshire 3
Peaks hike.
Nationally, we have reconnected with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT), attending their national conference and
joining both the Mental Health / Community NHSCT Special Interest Group and the North East, Yorkshire and
Humber Regional Interest Group. We concluded two grant projects which supported the development of the
charity branding and website and the establishment of what is now our Workforce Wellbeing Team.
We worked with the Trust's Partnerships and Strategy team to identify potential grant funders to enable larger
projects and support us to grow.
We were able to successfully apply for a £15,000 grant for the North East Lincolnshire Fishers programme to
provide health and wellbeing support to reduce health inequalities for the local fishing community, seafood
workers and their families in Grimsby. The programme will support them to access health and wellbeing services
when they require them and to manage their health more proactively.
How we fund our work
In 2024/25, 52% of our £352,555 income came from an NHSCT grant and a generous gift in a legacy.
We received significant investment income of £19,470 throughout the year.
Event, community and corporate income was lower than hoped but we have plans to increase these income
streams over the next 12 months with a year-long fundraising events calendar and partnerships packages for
local businesses from across the region. With the launch of our first Fundraising campaign - the Better Days
Appeal - we have a platform for attracting new supporters.
Money spent: what we spent the money on
We are a grant making charity. These grants are distributed in the form of 'Wishes', grants under €5,000 and
'Dreams', grants over €5,000.
The funding for these grants comes from our fund zones. Money raised or received for a specific Trust building
or service is allocated to a fund zone managed by a Fund Guardian. Some fund zones are restricted for specific
purposes related to the geographical area or building.
We also have a central fund for unallocated funds raised which can also be used to 'top-up' wishes from services.
This top up is restricted to £500 per service per year.
This year we have been successful in unrestricting some historical fund zones in line with Charity Commission
guidance. This allowed us to reduce the number of zones that required management and made more funds
accessible to the services that need them. The fund zones are now in line with our fundraising pillars
Our Fundraising Practices
Our dedicated charity team organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters. We do
not use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. There have been no complaints about
fundraising activity this year.

The Fundraising Regulator publishes the Code of Fundraising Practice17 that sets the standards that apply to
fundraising carried out by all charities and third-party fundraisers in the UK.
The Fundraising Regulator is the independent regulator of charitable fundraising in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland. In Scotland, the Scottish Fundraising Adjudication Panel is the regulator.
The fundraising department has signed up to the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice. All
fundraising guidance and working practices are compliant with that code.
We work with HTFT's volunteering team to support some fundraising events. The fundraising team is responsible
for co-ordinating the volunteers' activities and, our Charity Manager, is responsible for monitoring their activities
against the requirements of the code. A member of the fundraising team will attend most events to ensure that
that they are being appropriately run.
We have not carried our any direct marketing in 2024/25 and do not currently manage a mailing list.
Our Fundraising Performance
During the year the total donations, legacies and income from fundraising came to £82,308.
Our fundraising income is improved from 2023/2024 and we continue to explore new ways of fundraising
including increasing our trust and foundation applications and launching larger public appeals to engage our
communities.
We benchmark our fundraising activity with our peers within our staff survey comparator groups and through
NHS Charities Together Financial Comparison Survey.
We monitor the comparative success of campaigns and overall fundraising cost to income ratios. We continue to
perform weli with a low cost to income ratio.
Our Future Plans
As we move forward, we are committed to enhancing our impact and deepening our engagement with patients,
families, and our wider community. We have an ambitious £200,000 fundraising goal for 2025/26 and we cannot
achieve it without harnessing their support.
We will focus on strengthening our visibility with patients and families on the wards, ensuring we are their charity
of choice for fundraising. By raising our profile, we can inspire more direct support for initiatives that enhance
patient care and improve the experience for those who rely on our services.
Beyond the hospital setting, we aim to increase our presence in local communities and encourage public
fundraising efforts that directly support mental health and wellbeing. We want to help people understand how
their contributions can make a real difference to care in their local area, ensuring that their support benefits the
trust delivering those vital services.
To build stronger relationships with our supporters, we will enhance our social media presence and introduce
new ways to keep in touch, keeping our loyal donors and fundraisers engaged and encouraging them to continue
their invaluable efforts. Deepening this connection will help us grow a sustainable community of supporters who
are passionate about making a difference.
We also want to continue positioning ourselves as the charity of choice for our staff. Our events will play an
important role in the organisation's culture, providing opportunities for teams to come together, boost morale,
and give back in ways that directly support themselves and their patients. Encouraging staff to access charitable
funds through our Wishes Programme remains a priority, and we will expand our Charity Champions scheme

with the aim of having 50% of teams represented by April 2026. With a national focus on health inequalities, we
will also work to ensure that more wishes addressing these disparities are realised.
Securing additional funding will be crucial in the year ahead. We will actively apply for NHS Charities Together
grants, particularly Workforce Wellbeing Grants, with a focus on securing funding for psychological support for
inpatient teams. In addition, we plan to develop and launch two new appeals in 2025/26. Our dedicated Dream
Teams are already working hard to bring these initiatives to life, and we are especially close to launching an
appeal in Whitby to create a new waiting area for children accessing services at the Community Hospital.
Strengthening our corporate supporter offer is another key priority. We want to deepen our engagement with
the businesses that have already given us so much in 2024/25, building meaningful partnerships that drive long-
term impact. Similarly, we will focus on improving our grant funding applications to increase our success rate,
ensuring we maximise the resources available to support our vital work.
With these ambitious goals, we look forward to the year ahead with optimism and determination. By
strengthening relationships, expanding our reach, and securing vital funding, we will continue to make a
meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that
expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation
can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate
all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to
activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when
