Foreword by the Chair of the Charity Trust Committee

On behalf of the Trustee, I am delighted to present the annual report and accounts for East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity 2023/24.

Thanks to support from the local community, the Charity has had a fantastic year and the fundraising team has increased income by 35% since last year. Along with an increase in income, I am proud to say we are again an award-winning Charity as this year, the team has won six awards, including local, national and industry awards.

We continue to build close relationships with our clinical and operational colleagues who are keen to suggested new projects and services to improve or enhance patient, staff and visitor experience across our four hospitals and satellite sites. We have spent £1m to deliver these benefits. More details can be found later within this report.

The new Forget-Me-Not Volunteer Service stood out to me this year, as 19 volunteers were recruited and trained to provide specialist support to our patients living with dementia. During the year they made over 1,000 visits. Volunteer Chris, was one of our award winners for his care, compassion and commitment. I was also very impressed with the ‘SafeSpace’ room we built in our Children’s Emergency Department (ED) for patients who are experiencing mental health crisis.

We are proud to be able to continue to fund activities to thank and celebrate staff for their exceptional efforts. ‘Thank You Week’, was, as always, a great success, and included the staff awards and a free meal for all staff, with food at Lister and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC) once more donated by the wonderful Rapid Relief team.

Enormous thanks must be given to our local community and our staff for supporting us with generous donations and fundraising activities. This, combined with support from local corporates, trusts and foundations and incredible individuals who have left us gifts in their wills, has enabled us to deliver all the benefits you can read about in this report.

I am also incredibly proud of our growing community events programme: this year we delivered another successful Rainbow Run where over 400 runners ran, skipped or rode in their pushchairs to raise over £35k in celebration of the NHS. The Lister Abseil, now in its third year, had 100 daring participants abseil down the 11-storey tower block to raise over £51k. We delivered another Moor Park 10k and Fun Runs which saw 1,100 competitive runners raising a combined £61k for MVCC and we delivered a brand new Fire Walk event at MVCC, where 42 brave supporters walked over hot coals to raise over £22k. You can read about some of these events in ‘Our year in pictures’ later on in this report.

On behalf of the Trustee, I’d like to thank everyone associated with the Charity – our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners, as we look ahead to the next year, working together to deliver projects that ensure we continue to go above and beyond for patients, families and staff.

Thank you

Dr David Buckle

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

Our Charity

The Trustee presents its annual report and financial statement audited by the independent auditor for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which has been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practices (SORP) (FRS 102).

East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity exists to enhance the experience for all patients within the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The four hospitals we support are the Lister in Stevenage, the New QEII in Welwyn Garden City, Hertford County in Hertford and MVCC 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.

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.

Our performance

We said we would...

Ensure our income streams are diverse and sustainable, including growing our lottery income

Deliver projects that make a meaningful difference to patients and staff, this will including finishing our Sunshine Appeal

Deliver a simple donation process and best practice donor care; this will include embedding a new customer relationship management (CRM) system

Improve our profile and support a philanthropic culture which will include developing and delivering a legacy strategy

We did it! ~~ee~~

We have significantly grown our income from our public lottery which has been a big success this year, we have also successfully delivered a new fire walk event which we will incorporate into our annual event plan next year. Our income streams are well balanced.

This report includes all the incredible projects we have been able to fund in the year. All have begun to deliver a meaningful difference to our patient and staff. Unfortunately, our Sunshine Appeal project has been delayed due to additional regulations being needed before building begins. We are working as hard as possible to begin the build as soon as we can.

We have fully embedded ‘Donorfy’ into the Charity as our CRM system, making us a more efficient organisation. Our donor care continues to be recognised and appreciated by our supporters.

We have created and implemented a legacy strategy and are now proud to be a legacy confident organisation, celebrating the impact that legacy gifts make to us and our patients and proactively spreading this message across all our sites.

The year ahead

Our Charity’s strategic aims for 2024-25 are to:

Continue to grow our mass participation event portfolio and number of participants

Deliver an industry specific fundraising gala dinner

Deliver projects that represent good value for money and make a sustainable and meaningful difference to patients and staff

Increase the ways in which we raise unrestricted income

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 six voting Non-Executive Directors (including Trust Chair) and five voting Directors, represent the NHS Trust in this matter. The NHS Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee, delegates responsibility (as set out in the Trusts Standing Financial Instructions) to a Board Committee, the Charity Trustee Committee (CTC). This Committee meets 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 and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund is to support East and 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.

Our fundraising practices

By being transparent in our communications, and respectful of our supporters needs and wishes, we believe that our supporters are treated fairly, with their wishes at the heart of all we do. This includes responsible use of personal data. We review all new planned fundraising activity to ensure that it is fair and that the reasons for processing data are clearly communicated. This enables supporters to control how their data is used and be confident in sharing it with us.

Protecting vulnerable people

Putting our supporters at the heart of our fundraising means also being sensitive and responsive to those people we come in to contact with during our fundraising who may be in vulnerable circumstances. We have controls in place to protect vulnerable individuals in a non-discriminatory and inclusive way, without any undue pressure or persistence and while respecting their right to privacy.

Fundraising standards

East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals Charity voluntarily subscribes to the Fundraising Regulator and its Code of Fundraising Practice (Code). We are also a member of NHS Charities Together (NHSCT). We use the Code and NHSCT guidelines as a framework for training our fundraising staff.

We are also signed up to the Fundraising Preference Service, which enables people to opt out of receiving fundraising communications from us. We received and actioned one requests from this service this year.

Our fundraisers

To ensure our standards are maintained and our supporters receive the best possible experience, we employ skilled fundraisers who are trained to be respectful of our supporters needs and experience and put their wishes at the heart of all we do.

We monitor our fundraising activities to ensure that our supporters have a great experience and are treated fairly. If we find cause for concern, we investigate and take appropriate action. Another way we raise funds is via local corporate partner organisations who, among other things, provide charitable contributions to us from the sale of their goods or services and fundraise from customers and employees. We carry out due diligence on our corporate partners and we expect them to follow the Code. We do not pay any third-party fundraisers.

Feedback and complaints

We recognise the value of listening to and learning from the feedback we receive, including complaints. In 2023/24, we received no complaints directly related to our fundraising activities. We provide details of how to contact us on our website and in our communications.

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. The Trustees receive training on their duties and training was delivered in-person to the Trustees on 1[st] February 2023 at a Trust Board Seminar.

Risk management

The CTC, 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 2023-2024. The principal risk for the Charity is the risk to the generation of income and not holding enough funds available to run the Charity, pay staff or deliver charitable projects. This risk remains constant is regularly reviewed by the Charity Trustees Committee and by the Trust’s Risk Management Group.

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.

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 total funds held by the Charity at 31[st] March 2024 were £2,907k. £1,013k of these funds were classed as restricted leaving £1,894k as unrestricted. Within the unrestricted balance of £1,894k, £481k of funds are held for general purposes. Whilst the Charity doesn’t specify a minimum holding level, this balance is continuously monitored to ensure there is a level of funds available to ensure the financial stability of the Charity.

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. 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.

Corporate Trustee

The Charity is the legal responsibility of a sole Corporate Trustee – East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The Non-Executive and Executive Directors for the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 were as follows:

Finance report

In the 2023/24 financial year, the Charity received a total income of £1,367k, of which £985k was donations, grants and legacy income, £305k from other trading activities and £77k from investments (2022/23 £1,075k - £745k donations, grants and legacy, £256k other trading activities, £74k investments). 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.

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.

Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities

The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Charity law requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the Charity for the year.

In preparing those financial statements the Trustee is required to:

The Trustee is also responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and regulations made thereunder. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and therefore takes reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees declare that:

a) so far as each of the Trustees at the time of the report are aware, there is no relevant information of which the Auditors are unaware, and

b) they have taken all steps they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any information and to establish that the Auditors are aware of this information

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF EAST AND NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

Opinion on the financial statements

In our opinion, the financial statements:

We have audited the financial statements of East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remain independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Conclusions related to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustee’s 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 Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion;

we considered the significant laws and regulations to be the The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), The Charities SORP and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be UK tax legislation.

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

Responsibilities of Trustee

Fraud

As explained more fully in the Trustee responsibility in relation to the financial statements disclosure, the Trustee is 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 Trustee determines 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 Trustee is 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 Trustee either intends 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.

Extent to which the audit was 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 assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be through a management override of controls in relation to journals or estimates; or donations, legacies or grants income not being complete.

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Non-compliance with laws and regulations

Based on:

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

34

35

deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

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), effective 1 January 2019; 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. Charity income has increased and is forecast to increase again in 2024-25. Estabilshed campaigns by the Charity continue to generate significant income and new events are planned to contribute to funding the Charity core activities. The Charity also has sufficient cash that even if no further income was received the Charity could continue to operate at its current expenditure levels for 2 years.

(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 25 restricted funds held by the Charity, of which 4 have insignificant balances. The names of the 21 funds over £1k and their purpose are disclosed in note 11.1 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.

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, equipment 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.

(k) Accounting judgements and estimates

The Trustee does not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure.
