Foreword by the Chair of the Charity Trust Committee

Chair 01/04/21 – 31/12/21

On behalf of the Trustees, I am delighted to present the annual report and accounts for the East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity 202122. This has been another extraordinary year for everyone, and the charity has worked incredibly hard to support the four hospitals in the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust to help provide additional support to our patients, volunteers, and staff at a very difficult time.

By working closely with our clinical teams, we spent £1.538m on more than 120 projects and services. We were delighted to provide innovative pieces of equipment and creative projects which made a challenging environment a little easier for staff and patients. This has included refurbishment of 83 spaces for staff to enjoy, a woodland walk, a supportive men’s health champion, comfort packs and boredom busters for patients.

Our fundraising income was £1.33m. COVID-19 continued to change the way we fundraised, so we developed a strategy to raise funds through online giving platforms. However, despite continuing restrictions, we managed to successfully deliver two face-to-face events last year with the generous support of our community - Herts Health Ride and a golf event. We also launched a public lottery in association with the Hospice Lottery which will provide regular income to our general funds.

Significant income for 2021-22 came from the legacies of grateful patients who received outstanding compassionate care within the Trust. They have kindly shown their gratitude and appreciation by leaving the charity a gift in their will. These benevolent individuals gave more than £534k to support our projects which will benefit patients and their families long into the future.

Our gift in kind income of £54k was much lower this year after the initial outpouring of support during the lockdowns of 2020. Gifts in kind are small acts of kindness that make a difference to staff and patients. This year staff were gifted tickets to football and rugby matches; children received

Christmas and Easter gifts and patients received comfort items and sweet treats. Our volunteers were also surprised with lovely floral bouquets from Tesco!

In recognition of their exceptional effort during the pandemic, we wanted to support wellbeing and thank you initiatives for our hard-working staff. In July we hosted a week of events which included the NHS Big Tea, a BBQ, ice lollies, music and a Remembrance Day to remember all those who had sadly died of COVID-19 at the Trust. We also funded a memorial book for staff and supporters which captured in photographs the unwinding events of 2020-21. A week later, we were thrilled to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to the Lister to present our Butterfly Volunteers with their Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest accolade a voluntary service can receive from Her Majesty The Queen. The charity-funded Butterfly Volunteer Service provides care and companionship to end of life patients at the Lister.

After a wonderful 8-year tenure, in December 2021 I stood down as chair of the charity management committee and we welcomed Dr David Buckle into the chair in January 2022.

Thank you

On behalf of the trustees, I’d like to thank everyone associated with the charity – our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners, as we look ahead to working together to deliver above and beyond.

A big thank you to Mr Bob Niven for his fantastic work as chair of the hospitals’ charity especially during the past two years which have been very demanding for us all.

I am delighted to be working with the hospitals’ charity and our ambition for 2022-23 is to support East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust through their recovery following COVID-19 and beyond. We will be raising funds to improve the wellbeing of patients, staff, volunteers, and visitors and will be recognising the importance of healthy spaces with our new initiatives and appeals: SafeSpace, The Sunshine Appeal and other green, sustainable initiatives. We look ahead with optimism and look forward to the opening up of community events and welcoming our donors onsite once again to see the special projects and services they help us fund.

Thank you

Chair

01/01/22 – 31/03/22

Dr David Buckle

Chair of the Charity Trustee Committee On behalf of the Corporate Trustee

About the charity

The Trustee presents its annual report and financial statement audited by the independent auditor for the year ended 31 March 2022, which has been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practices (FRS 102).

East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity exists to enhance the experience for all patients within the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (ENHT). The four hospitals we support are the Lister in Stevenage, the New QEII in Welwyn Garden City, Hertford County in Hertford and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood, with more than 550,000 people cared for at our hospitals every year.

We raise funds to purchase the very best equipment; so that our staff can undertake cutting-edge research and to purchase those special extras - all to ensure our patients receive gold-standard treatment and care. Importantly, we only fundraise for projects that are outside of statutory funding responsibilities of the Trust. Everything we do goes above and beyond.

This year has been tough as our community based fundraising activities struggled to return to pre COVID-19 levels and footfall throughout the hospitals was reduced for most of the year. As always we are most grateful to our donors and the support we receive from patients saying thank you for the care they received, friends and family that wish to remember a loved one, staff fundraisers and trusts, foundations and corporates that believe in our vision.

Thank you.

Artlife @ The Lister

Our Artlife Gallery has gone from strength to strength, making art accessible to patients, visitors, and staff.

‘I think the initiative is inspiring, it always gives me a lift when I walk along the corridor and ‘drink in’ the art work. If the exhibition allows just one member of staff, or patient, to stop and reflect, then it will have done its job. I think it touches many lives and at this time of anxiety and mental health issues it is just the tonic that we need.’ - Staff Member

Woodland Walkway

We have invested significantly in Green Space for Health at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. We were proud to build a new woodland walkway, wildflower meadow and fern garden and with the help of volunteers, we have planted trees and constructed a pond and moon canopy.

We also built a chemotherapy shelter, so our patients with cancer can receive short treatments outdoors, whilst remaining sheltered from sun and rain. Our staff now make circular walks part of their daily routine and our patients are able to spend more time outdoors, in comfort.

‘I feel so troubled but when I sit there I feel calm and I feel better. My mind is buzzing and those thoughts just slip away when I’m here.’ - Patient being treated for cancer

Training and wellbeing: initiatives to enable staff to go above and beyond

A prize draw for all staff to win a luxury Christmas hamper.

This year we were able to support many initiatives, led by our colleagues, to enhance wellbeing. These include:

Funding for our women’s network and equality and diversity networks to raise their profile and provide interesting seminars, events and initiatives for staff. These include paying for white ribbon accreditation which supports our Trust to reflect and challenge violence against women and young girls and non-binary people.

Supporting nursing and midwifery excellence by joining the Cavell Nurses Trust peer recognition scheme, so our nursing and midwifery staff can nominate their colleagues for an award. Over the year 24 awards have been awarded and celebrated with our Chief Nurse.

And finally, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to put on a week of celebrations for all staff

Paying for 18 training and development opportunities for staff, that are above and beyond the requirement of their role.

including providing burgers, ice creams and cakes for everyone and also a memorial photobook to thank our staff for their efforts over the pandemic.

Launching the Hug in a Mug pay it forward scheme. We purchased 1,000 mugs which are filled with treats and gifts and passed between colleagues as a surprise to say “thank you”, “well done” or “you have made a difference’’.

treatment of our patients at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre

The charity worked with our clinical colleagues to identify and purchase equipment to support gold standard treatment and care, including:

Repurposing ‘Chart Lodge’ at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, upgrading the building so it can be used for our outpatient clinic and provide a more comfortable experience for our patients.

Redirooms

The charity was honoured to purchase 4 Redirooms. These are pop-up infection control tents that can be used to isolate a bed on a ward, anywhere. This means infectious patients can be quickly and easily isolated without the need to move them into a side room. This helps protect other patients in a bay and means that patients get continuity of care and sometimes a faster discharge, by staying on their specialist ward.

‘I am so incredibly happy as this has the potential to save lives over the winter, if used to its potential. I could see the joy on one of our colleagues faces today as we explained how it could be used within a bay in Paeds. The Trust, and the patients we will care for over this and coming winters, will owe you all a debt of gratitude. Thank you all so much.’ – A member of staff

Support services and smaller items

A multiple pregnancy cot for twins and triplets to enable more than one baby to be next to their mother on the postnatal wards

We also spent £566,444 on smaller items of equipment and items that improve the patient experience throughout the Trust, including:

Two Airglove air warming systems to enable easier and more comfortable cannulisation
Equipment to enhance and improve the experience of elderly patients and those with dementia, including communication aids, artwork for rooms, a sound system, drinking cups with handles and iPads
Sponsorship of Admiral nurses to work on the dementia ward, supporting carers and families of patients
Refurbishment of 83 spaces to create relaxing and comfortable areas in which our staff can take a well-earned break
Free wifi across the hospital sites
A paediatric ECG machine to support our paediatric clinics make faster diagnoses
Provision of a kitchenette for the bereavement room in our maternity unit so parents can store and prepare their own refreshments
A kangaroo cuddle chair so parents can be in a comfortable position to cuddle their babies, especially while their baby is in ITU on respiratory support with many wires and equipment attached
Boredom buster magazines which are handed out to our patients to provide an activity whilst they are recovering from their illness
Provision of a Cancer Hair Care service to help patients with hair loss at the Lister Macmillan Cancer Centre

Men’s Health Champion

We were proud to secure funding to hire our first Men’s Health Champion, Scott. He provides support to men who have had, or are about to have, radical surgery to remove their prostate due to prostate cancer, through one-to-one support, group workshops and awareness-raising events.

Research projects: pioneering research to help drive innovation

This research project aims to find if there is evidence of impaired removal of certain harmful substances from the blood, in individuals with kidney problems. If there is evidence of liver dysfunction this may help guide potential future therapies to improve prognosis for patients with kidney disease.

Each year the charity supports a wide variety of research programmes and staff can apply for funding to undertake projects that will help improve the experience of patients across all of our services.

This year, it included purchasing a specialist detector and finger probe to support a study into advanced kidney disease.

Butterfly Volunteer Service

Last year our Butterfly Volunteers were presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.

42 Butterfly Volunteers provided support and companionship to patients who were dying. They made 2,540 visits between April-March. 1,338 of those patients were alone at the time of the visit. The butterflies worked 9am-9pm, 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

What Matters To You Service

We continued to deliver our ‘What Matters To You’ service. A team of volunteers supported patients who were unable to communicate directly with their family themselves and help them remain connected and informed during their stay in hospital. The team supported 1,500 virtual visits and delivered 1,800 ‘stay in touch’ letters to patients.

‘I would just like to say what a wonderful service the virtual visit is. I live in Lincolnshire, so it has given me the chance to chat to my Mum, who does have dementia, and to see for myself how she is looking gives me great peace of mind. The service manager, made the whole process so easy and is absolutely lovely, so caring and so very helpful. Well done Lister Hospital.’

‘There are very few things in the modern world that truly exceed expectations but today you have made my Mum and Dad so very happy and no doubt improved all our mental health into the bargain. Please, please be very proud of yourselves, it is great work you are all doing and truly does make a difference.’ – Family member

Structure, governance and management

The Charity has a Corporate Trustee, the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The NHS Trust Board of Directors, which comprises seven Non-Executive Directors (including Trust Chair) and five Directors, represent the NHS Trust in this matter. The NHS Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee, delegates responsibility to a Board Committee, the Charity Trustee Committee (CTC). This committee meets at least four times a year and the Chair of the Committee reports to the Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee, following each meeting.

The strategy of the East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund is to support East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust by providing funds to benefit patients and support staff to feel valued. It does this by purchasing supplementary and complementary equipment or services that the Trust is unable to provide funding for via exchequer sources. The Charity carries out fundraising activities and relies upon the generosity of the local community, patients and their relatives and other donors who are familiar with, or who are sympathetic and generous in their support to their local NHS service.

The Charity Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of charitable funds, working with a Charity Management Committee to ensure the funds are spent in line with service priorities and donor wishes. The Trustee relies on the Charity Management Committee to ensure the effective use of charitable funds earmarked for clinical areas by applying their local or specialist knowledge.

Trustee responsibility in relation to the financial statements

The Charity Trustee is responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Charity Trustee to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
observe the methods and principals in the applicable Charities SORP
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements:
the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and of the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for the safeguarding of the assets of the Charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the Charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

Constitution, objects and power

The Trustee has been appointed under section 11 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. The East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Funds held on trust are registered with the Charity Commission, number 1053338. The objectives of the Charity are prescribed by section 93 of the National Health Service Act 1977 - in particular for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the service provided by the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. All new Trustees are given appropriate induction on their responsibilities as a Trustee, as laid down in guidance by the Charity Commission.

Risk management

The Charity Trustee Committee, on behalf of the Trustee, ensures that the Charity has met its obligations or risk management as set out in the Trust’s Risk Management Strategy. It has a framework for risk identification and has reviewed the strategic business and operational risks that the Charity faces. The Trustee regularly reviews the risks and the Charity Team ensures actions are taken to mitigate the risks and monitor these. The Charity continued to review and strengthen its governance arrangements during 2021-2022.

Public benefit statement

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and have due regard for the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Our Charity’s objective is to support any charitable purpose relating to East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, including research.

The Trustees ensure that this purpose is carried out for public benefit by working to the following aim. ‘Our Charity’s core function is to make a real positive impact on patient care within our Trust. We continue to help our hospitals innovate, improve and, most importantly, provide excellent care to our community above and beyond NHS funding. By supporting great science, excellent patient care and staff well-being within the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are helping our local community to be healthier by providing the best care we can.

The Charity does not provide facilities directly to the public but provides facilities for the hospital and, in so doing, for the patients and staff of the hospitals.

Investment policy

The Investment Policy is to ensure the creation of sufficient income and capital growth to enable the Charity to carry out its purposes consistently year by year with due and proper consideration of future needs and maintenance of, if possible, an enhancement of the value of the invested funds while they are retained. With regard to investments, the Trustee excludes the tobacco sector, as defined by those companies that derive their income from such trading.

Reserves and reserve policy

The Trustee recognises its obligation to ensure that funds received by the Charity should be spent effectively in accordance with the funds’ objectives. The Charity’s reserves comprise of those funds that are freely available for its general purposes. The reserves are held at a level that will ensure the charity can pay their committed expenditure. The Trustee considers it prudent that reserves should be sufficient to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the Charity’s use.

The Trustee also excludes companies that derive more than 10% of their revenues from the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, armaments, gambling, high interest rate lending or pornography.

Finance report

In the 2021/22 financial year the Charity received a total income of £1,338k - £981k of donations, grants and legacy income, £291k from other trading activities and investment income of £66k. The Charity is indebted to the generosity of patients, their families and carers, well-wishers and friends who have donated so generously to the work of the Charity.

The overall financial performance of the Charity recorded a net decrease in funds of £433k compared to the previous years increase as the Charity aims to meet its spending objectives. The valuation of the investment fund has been valued at £114k higher than at the start of the year. This increase is due to the continued recovery on investment following the impact of COVID-19 on market performance.

Events since the year end and future plans

The Trustee does not expect any significant changes in the objectives of the Charity in the forthcoming year and intends to continue to manage all charitable income and expenditure within best practice guidelines of the Charities Commission. The Trustee continues to be mindful of the impact that NHS priorities may have on current charitable fund priorities.

Notes to the Accounts

Note 1 Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities” preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Funds structure

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are twelve restricted funds held by the Charity, and the names of the funds and purpose is stated in note 13.1 to the accounts.

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

(c) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the Charitable Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio.

(d) Expenditure recognition

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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charitable Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust.

(e) Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

EAST AND NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

Notes to the Accounts (cont.)

(f) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support and governance costs have been allocated between expenditure on raising fund and charitable activities. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the number of individual grant awards made in recognition that the administrative costs of awarding, monitoring and assessing research grants, salary support grants and postgraduate scholarships are broadly equivalent. The allocation of support and governance costs are analysed in note 3.4.

(g) Costs of raising funds

The costs of generating funds consist of Fundraiser salaries, merchandise purchases, raffle prizes and lotto winnings as well as direct costs to events as shown in note 3.1. Also included is the allocated support and governance costs.

(h) Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include allocated governance costs, capital expenditure and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 3.2.

(i) Fixed asset investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

(j) 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 their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
