Introduction/Overview

The Trust’s Charitable Funds are subject to the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and as such are registered with the Charity Commission.

The prime role of the Charity Commission is to seek to preserve the integrity of “charity”. Their powers and functions are set out in the 2011 Act and as a consequence the Trust is required to:-

The Trust’s main charity is registered as the “Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity - Registered Number 1053125” created to cover a wide range of charitable purposes relating to the NHS and is supported by fourteen subsidiary charities representing donations made to specific specialties in the Trust.

This registration is known as an “Umbrella” arrangement and as a consequence allows for the production of a single set of Annual Accounts, Report and Return for all charities in compliance with the Charities Act 2011.

Review of Developments and Achievements

The Trust monitors and reviews all policies and procedures and adapts as necessary. The Trust continues to promote Gift Aid on both hospital sites and provides information for patients and visitors with regard to making donations, gift aid and Just Giving.

The Trust has operated a registered charity for a number of years. The Trust calls this ‘charitable funds’ but it is in fact a charity in the same way that the Christie, Alder Hey and Great Ormond Street all have hospital charities. At the moment though, not many people think of our hospitals as a charity in this way.

Our Charity supports the full range of routine and specialist services that are provided at both of our hospitals; from Cardiac to Cancer, Special Care Baby and Children’s care, to Trauma and world-class care for patients undergoing Burns and Plastic surgery treatment.

Every penny raised for our Charity stays in the St Helens and Knowsley areas, helping us to provide 5 star patient care at both Whiston and St Helens hospitals.

During 2020/21, and despite being in the middle of a pandemic, individuals continued to fundraise and raise money for the Trust’s Charitable Funds.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all planned events for the spring/summer of 2020 were unfortunately postponed. This included events such as the biennial abseil and a Celebrity Football Match against Trust staff.

However, during this period the local community have shown overwhelming generosity and support towards our staff and patients, with the Trust inundated with donations of items, everything from food supplies and toiletries to nightwear and clothing.

Claire Simmo

NHS charities have been in the spotlight throughout the pandemic, with high profile fundraising by members of the public and celebrities, and it is hoped that in the coming months this encourages new and existing supporters of Whiston and St Helens Hospitals Charity to join us on future fundraising projects.

Here are few of our fantastic fundraiser stories…

Review of Developments and Achievements cont’d

Professional darts player, Michael Smith, and his wife Dagmara raised £5000 during lockdown through organising sport memorabilia raffle prizes and challenging fans to online darts matches. The World Darts Championship star played around 14 hours of virtual darts to say thanks to the staff at his local hospitals. Michael and his family used some of the money to donate breakfast and energy bars to the hospitals, and have given the rest to the Trust charity to benefit frontline staff.

Amanda Edwards and Paula Smith set up a Just Giving page to raise money for PPE equipment. They not only bought the equipment, but also donated £1000 for theatres and £1000 to Ward 2D.

7 year old Aneeka walked a huge distance of 15K in less than a week to raise £1522.05. Tackling three 5ks in just three days, Aneeka even managed to reach her target of £1,000 with one walk left to go!

Colin Port, father of Mike Port, Clinical Coding Specialist, raised £1350 by making NHS vinyl car stickers. Colin donated £850 to ICU and £500 to the Lilac Centre.

When you’ve got to have your bingo fix you may as well fundraise at the same time. Sandra Pollard from Croxteth Community Bingo raised £50 by playing Bingo. Hitting the high notes, her husband also took to the streets to fundraise through socially distanced singing.

Thank you so much to Linda Mitchell, from ‘Knitting for Good’ in Netherton, who donated knitted blankets, coats, hats and mittens to SCBU – we’re so grateful to you and your fellow knitters!

A pandemic didn’t stop Stephen Hislop running a virtual New York Marathon to raise money for the Lilac Centre, where his mum was receiving treatment! He ran 36.2 miles and raised over £1000.

Review of Developments and Achievements cont’d

In 2004, twins Ian & Thomas Slater (30) were both sadly diagnosed with different forms of cancer within months of each other, Thomas was diagnosed with a rare bone tumour in his leg, and Ian was treated successfully at Whiston Hospital for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Now 15 years later, the pair are making the most of their 31st birthday celebrations by taking on a (triple) mountain of a challenge. Climbing the highest mountains in Scot-

land, England, and Wales within 24 hours, the brothers hope to raise £5,000 to give back to the hospitals that took care of them.

Whilst undergoing treatment at the Lilac Centre, Carol O’Mara decided to give something back by having her head shaved to raise funds. So far, she has raised over £2300

Joel Lysons is just 6 years old and has taken inspiration from Captain Sir Tom Moore and successfully completed 100 laps of Taylor Park pond to raise money for our hospitals. Joel fell off his scooter when he was only 4 by this very same pond and in his words “hurt his head”, so he wanted to give something back to our staff for helping him. Joel has raised over £1,400

Investments are held in a specific charitable portfolio with BlackRock Investment Managers. We invest in BLK Charities UK Bond Fund (previously Charinco Common Investment Fund) and BLK Charities UK Equity ESG Fund (previously Charishare Restricted Common Investment Fund).

The objective of the funds is to “achieve long-term capital growth by investment predominantly in UK equities with a restriction on investment in tobacco related securities and defence related securities”. Also the fund may not invest in any company listed on any stock exchange which generates more than 10% of its annual turnover from military sales.

12

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity

Registered Charity Number 1053125

Financial Review cont’d

The Trust’s policy is that investments should not be made in companies that produce products which could be detrimental to health; all our investments comply with this.

The objective of our investments is to get the best return on our money for the funds benefit. We want realistic interest rates so that the funds benefit on a day to day basis by having the interest/dividends to spend once it has been distributed. BlackRock ensures that this criterion is met and that we have limited exposure to risk. This years valuation is an unrealised gain of £72.5k on the 2019/20 valuation.

The major risk to which the charity is exposed is the fluctuation in investment values. This is a standing item on the agenda of the charitable funds sub-committee and as such is reviewed, discussed and action taken as recommended.

The charity maintains reserves (namely the “Unrestricted funds”) to ensure current or anticipated expenses are met from the funds should there be any major adverse fluctuations in income received. The Reserves Policy is to maintain a maximum level equivalent to approximately 12 months expenditure (calculated using 3 year rolling average).

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity

Registered Charity Number 1053125

Objectives

The Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity comprises of one main “Unrestricted” Umbrella Charity and fourteen “Restricted” Subsidiary Charities.

The objectives of the Umbrella Charity, being unrestricted, allow the Trustee to spend the funds on any charitable purpose covered by the Trust. The official statement covering this was set out in the Model Declaration of Trust, which was lodged with the Charity Commission as part of the registration process. It states:-

“ The Trustees shall hold the trust fund and upon trust to apply this income and, at their discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service”

The objects of the fourteen subsidiary charities are restricted and therefore only allow the Trustees to spend in line with the more defined needs and purposes of the funds. Again each fund’s objectives were set out in the Model Declaration on registration. An example is given below for the Special Care Baby Unit:-

“The trustees shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose or purposes wholly or mainly for the benefit of the services provided by the Special Care Baby Unit of the St Helens and Knowsley Hospitals NHS Trust.”

The objects of all the Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charitable Funds relate to the National Health Service and that the funds will be for the benefit of both patients and staff.

In order to further the objects of these charities the Trustee (i.e. the Board) has delegated responsibility to the charitable funds sub-committee, who in turn have afforded a limited amount of day to day responsibility to designated fund holders.

In establishing the charity objectives, the Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

15

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity

Registered Charity Number 1053125

Objectives cont’d

The fund holders are chosen for their detailed knowledge of the specialised areas covered by the subsidiary charities to ensure the money is spent to achieve the best possible benefit. They operate within defined financial limits above which items must be referred to the Chief Executive, Director of Finance or the charitable funds sub-committee for approval.

The main income to achieve these objectives is usually from donations and fundraising by patients, relatives or staff. Both donations and fundraising income is normally for a specific department or piece of equipment, generally for a ward or department where the fundraiser/ donor has had treatment.

The changes we hope to achieve through our charitable activities are to improve the care and service we deliver, by improving facilities and the way in which patients are treated. This is achieved by funding courses for our staff, making them more aware of patients needs, and improving, not just medical equipment, but also patient appliances both in hospital and at home. We hope that this makes life easier for the patients and helps improve their health and speed of recovery.

It is not practical to set specific objectives for the year as we wholly rely on donations to support our charitable funds. The only time we have a specific objective is when there is a particular fundraising appeal to purchase a piece of equipment.

The charity has a community fundraiser dedicated to organising appeals or fundraising events, supporting the public and staff who are fundraising for the Trust, they will also give advice on the legal aspect of fundraising.

Everything the Trust achieves through charitable funds is based on support from patients, relatives, companies and not forgetting our own staff. Expenditure only occurs if there are sufficient funds to cover it.

16

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals’ Charity

Registered Charity Number 1053125

Objectives cont’d

Grants that the charitable funds make to the hospital are made on an individual basis. Each request is assessed on its own merit. If the request is over £2,000 the Chief Executive or the Director of Finance will authorise; if the item is over £15,000 the charitable funds sub-committee will discuss and authorise if appropriate.

Further advice would be sought from the Charity Commission as and where necessary to help decision making.

Donated Income Policy

  1. The boundary at which all donations to the charitable funds are identified comprises of Whiston and St Helens General Offices, all wards and nominated departments located around the Trust. At each of these locations officers are authorised to receive, record and receipt charitable fund donations.

  2. Each location has been provided with a receipt book and procedure notes. The receipt book comprises of 3 copies to be distributed as follows:

  3. White Copy To Donor

  4. Yellow Copy To General Office (when donations are paid in)

  5. Green Copy Retained in Book

  6. Postal donations should, where possible, be directed to the appropriate General Office. However in exceptional circumstances when a postal donation is received at ward or department level it should be opened and receipted by two members of staff.

  7. Offers of donations made elsewhere in the Trust should be redirected to the nearest General Office.

  8. Donations, collections and legacies will normally only be accepted where they are given to one of the registered charities or if more appropriate to one of the designated funds.

  9. Donations received by wards or departments must be receipted immediately and forwarded to the appropriate General Office, preferably on a daily basis but no less than once a week.

Reserves Policy

  1. It is the Trustee’s determination to demonstrate prudent stewardship of the Charity and to ensure that the level of reserves is appropriate to the Charity’s circumstances.

  2. From experience the Trustee would expect to spend at the same level as income is received taking one year with another. However, it is intended to establish and maintain reserves (namely the “Unrestricted funds”) to ensure current or anticipated expenses are met from the funds should there be any major adverse fluctuations in income received.

  3. Reserves will be identified to a maximum level equivalent to approximately 12 months expenditure (calculated using 3 year rolling average). Should the amount rise beyond this level action will be taken to expend funds in accordance with the charity’s objects.

  4. Reserves will not be permitted to fall below a level equivalent to six months expenditure. However, in the unlikely event of this happening the Trustee may withhold from distribution such amounts of income gained from investments and credit them to the reserve funds.

  5. Unrealised gains on investments will not be included in income to be distributed to funds.

  6. The level of reserves will be monitored on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with the above limits.

  7. The Trustee will formally review this policy every three years.

I report to the charity trustees on may examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 3 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of the report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

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.

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals' Charity Accounts 2020/21

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities - Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act.

The Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.1 Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historic cost (except that investments are shown at market value).

1.2 Income and Endowments

Page 6

Whiston and St Helens Hospitals' Charity Accounts 2020/21

1.3 Expenditure

The funds held on trust accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party.

a) Raising funds

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred to raise funds for charitable purposes. It includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

b) Charitable Activities Charitable Activities are the payments, made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the funds held on trust's charitable objectives to relieve those who are sick. They are accounted for on an accruals basis. They include support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity.

1.4 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 market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value (or date of purchase if later).

1.5 Structure of Funds

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the Trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are designated funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 12. Transfers between funds only occur as a result of funds being amalgamated for administration purposes or as a result of endowment funds becoming realisable.

1.6 Investment Fixed Assets Investment fixed assets (quoted stocks and shares) are shown at market value, ex dividend, and are included in the balance sheet at the end of the accounting period (disclosed in note 11)

1.7 Change in the Basis of Accounting

There has been no change in the basis of accounting during the year.

1.8 Transfer between Funds

There has been no change to the accounts of prior years.

1.9 Financial Instruments i) Debtors - Debtors are amounts owed to the charity and are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

ii) Cash at bank and in hand- held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due.

iii) Creditors - Creditors are amounts owed by the charity and 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.
