## Our Charity 

UHNM Charity is the official charity for both hospitals operated by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM) — Royal Stoke University Hospital and County Hospital, Stafford. As such, we touch the lives of everyone in the North Midlands and beyond, no matter their age or condition. Our wish is for patients, service users and their loved ones to receive the best care in the best possible environment. 

Each year we invest in key areas such as equipment, research, patient and family support, training and transforming areas into more comfortable and welcoming environments. The core mission of UHNM Charity is to enhance the care and treatment of patients and service users accessing NHS services by supporting high priority areas which are beyond the scope of government funding. 

The Charity’s income comes from fundraising, donations, charitable grants, legacies and sponsorship. The Charity employs a small team of professional fundraising professionals who organise events and supports the hundreds of fundraisers organising their own or taking part in organised events, both community and hospital-based throughout the year. 

In addition to the UHNM Trust magazine, the main route of communication with donors is via our dedicated website (www.uhnmcharity.org.uk), and social media: 

## @UHNMCharity © £] fo) 

In all our communications, we seek to update supporters about the impact that donations have made, as well as letting people know about upcoming fundraising activities. 

The fundraising team would be delighted to speak to anybody who is considering taking part in an event or organising their own fundraising for UHNM Charity, and can be contacted by email at charity@uhnm.nhs.uk or by telephone at 01782 676444. We also encourage feedback from all of our supporters, sharing any learning amongst the Charity team.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Corporate Trustee has given serious consideration to meeting our public benefit commitment and to the enhancement of the care of patients through: 

* Enhancing the quality of patient care; 

- Improving the environment for patients, visitors and UHNM Colleagues; 

- Providing funding for pioneering developments with the potential to impact directly on the treatment and wellbeing of patients and service users. 

- Funding state-of-the-art equipment that improves outcomes for patients and service users. 

To achieve these objectives, UHNM Charity operates a transparent grant making process. All UHNM colleagues, from across both hospitals, are encouraged to raise money for their area and can apply for funding to provide additiona! equipment, facilities, staff training and research over and above what the NHS would normally fund. Our plans to deliver this funding include: 

- Encouraging UHNM colleagues to submit funding applications and to identify new facilities, training, equipment that the Charity can provide. 

- Raising income to provide new facilities, training and equipment by supporting patients and service users, members of the public, and organisations in their fundraising. 

In line with our investment policy, surplus monies not required to meet immediate commitments are placed in specialist charity investments to create additional income to achieve the Charity objectives in the future. 

The team working for the Charity are employed by UHNM NHS Trust. UHNM Charity reimburses the NHS Trust for these costs.

## Trustees’ Report 

The Corporate Trustee is pleased to present the University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity (UHNM Charity) Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

## Lega! Structure 

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is the Corporate Trustee of funds held on trust under powers given to it by s212 to s222 of the National Health Service Act 2006. The funds held on trust are registered as UHNM Charity with the Charity Commission under registration number 1054889. 

## Management of the Charity 

The Trust Board of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (the Trust) is the Corporate Trustee of UHNM Charity. All voting Executive and NonExecutive Directors of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust take decisions collectively as agents of the Trustee and receive training through Board Development sessions. 

The directors of the Corporate Trustee are therefore not themselves Trustees even though they are sometimes referred to internally as the Trustees. The Charity is separate from the Trust and independent of it, but it aims to work closely with the Trust in order to achieve its charitable objectives. The Corporate Trustee delegates certain responsibilities to agents and/or employees but always retains the ultimate responsibility for the management of the Charity. 

The Corporate Trustee has established a Charity Committee to oversee the Charity’s operation on its behalf. The Committee scrutinises and constructively challenges the Charity’s operations and financial information and systems of control, including the Annual Accounts, to provide assurance to the Trustee Board that the administration of charitable funds is distinct from its exchequer funds and compliant with legislation and the Charity’s objectives. 

The Charity Committee meets regularly and reports to the Corporate Trustee, which approves major decisions and remains responsible for the activities of the Charity. The day-to-day operations of the Charity are overseen by UHNM’s Charity Director.

## Objectives 

The main objectives of the Trustees is to accept, hold and administer any property on trust for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the NHS, wholly or mainly for the service provided by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. 

The funds of the Charity accumulate from the receipt of donations and legacies together with the returns on investments. The funds are used above basic NHS provision to enhance the care of patients and service users through the provision of new or enhanced facilities, state of the art equipment, and innovative medical research. 

## Investment Policy 

Surplus monies not required to meet immediate commitments are currently invested in COIF Charity Funds, which are common investment and deposit funds established under section 96 of the Charities Act 2011. The administrative functions for the COIF Charity Funds have been delegated to CCLA, whose ethical and social investment policies support the UHNM Charity’s own investment policy. The portfolio has performed in line with the overall stock market conditions during the financial year with performance continually monitored by the Charitable Funds Committee. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Corporate Trustee has agreed a Reserves Policy to ensure that donations are spent within a reasonable period from receipt whilst also protecting the financial viability of the fund. The agreed minimum level of reserves is a balance sufficient to cover normalised expenditure for three years and therefore protects the spending plans of the Charity against falls in fundraising income, legacies and investment values. Covering running costs in this way gives the Committee a reasonable timescale to ensure that appropriate management action can be taken to consider alternative funding sources and marketing strategies to improve its position if necessary. 

it also allows sufficient time for the Charity to process on-going commitments and to meet the cost of closure or transfer of the Charity’'s affairs should the need ever arise. As at 31 March 2025 UHNM had unrestricted reserves of £8.1million which exceeds the amount needed to cover the agreed three years operational and governance costs.The Charity Team is continually working with fund advisors on spending plans for their particular clinical areas that are in line with both charitable and Trust objectives.

## Risk Policy 

The major risks to which the Charity could be exposed have been identified and considered and systems developed to minimise those risks. The most significant tisks have been identified as: 

4. Losses from a fall in the value of the investments due to volatility in world markets; and 2. Fraud. 

The Committee is satisfied that the Charity’s Investment Policy together with robust financial procedures, including the regular monitoring of investments, minimises the investment risks. Fraud is controlled by robust financial policies and procedures adopted by the Corporate Trustee. 

## Expenditure Approval Policy 

As a grant making Charity, each application is considered on its own merits for appropriateness against the Charity and any specific fund objectives, and it must comply with the Charity Commission funding criteria and UHNM Charity Policy. All grant applications are subject to approval by the NHS Trust (to confirm they can benefit from the grant and meet any on-going liabilities) and the Corporate Trustee Board or its appointed officers. All research grants are only awarded if approved by the Ethics Committee and results must be made available within the public domain. 

## Statement of Trustee’s Responsibility 

Under charity law, the Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and Financial Statements for each financial year which showa true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the Charity’s financial position for the period. 

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Trustee: 

* Selects suitable accounting policies and then applies them consistently; 

* Makes judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

* States whether the financial statements comply with applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

* Prepares the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its activities,

The Trustee is required to act in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Charity, within the framework of trust law. It is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Charity at that time, and to enable the Trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by it under 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of the regulations under that provision. It has general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to it to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

The Trustee confirms that it has met the responsibilities set out above and complied with the requirements for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements set out in this document have been compiled from and are in accordance with the financial records maintained by the Trustee. 

In exercising its powers and responsibilities the Trustee has complied with its duty to have due regard to the Guidance on Public Benefit published by the Charity Commission. 

## Related Party Transactions 

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is a related party as it is both the Trustee and the recipient of grants made by the Charity. Note 1.11 of the Accounts discloses information about any related party transactions. 

## Fundraising 

In relation to Charities Act 2011, which requires disclosures to be made in respect of fund-raising activities, UHNM Charity has a nil disclosure. UHNM Charity does not employ external professional commercial fundraisers or fundraising organisations. Any individual fundraising for the Charity is provided with an official fundraising pack and supported by the Charity Team to ensure all standards of fundraising are met. These are available on the Charity’s website. No complaints have been received from fundraisers or donors and the Charity Team works closely to support all of those individuals choosing to raised funds.

## Independent Auditor’sHy 3 Report to the Trustees of University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity (‘the Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Statement of Financial Position, the statement of cash flows and the 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). 

## In our opinion the financial statements: 

- Give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

You Make the Difference. We Make it Count.

|. charity<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## Other information 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee’s 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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 & Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to

## report to you if, in our opinion: 

* The information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustee’s report; or 

* Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

* The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

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

## Responsibilities of Trustee 

As explained more fully in the Trustee’s responsibilities statement, the Trustee's are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee’s determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee’s either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

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

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 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 Auditors’ 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. 

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: 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

« the senior statutory auditor ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

* we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; 

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the financial reporting legislation, Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, anti-bribery, employment, and environmental and health and safety legislation; 

* we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and 

identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Fo. charity<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


You Make the Difference. We Make it Count. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

* Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

* Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

* Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

* Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

* Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 1 were indicative of potential bias; and 

* Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

* Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

* Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

* Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

* Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charity’s legal advisors.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www. frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors’ report. 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts & Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust Charity fund for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

1 Accounting Policies 12 Basis of preparation 

UHNM Charity (the Charity) has prepared its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The accounts (financial statements} have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) which is the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicabte in the UK and Republic of ireland {FRS102), and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from January 2029. 

1.2 Income recognition 

All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met: 

i) entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or when the Charity's right becomes legally enforceable; 

ii) probable - it is more fikely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the Charity; and 

iii} measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resource can be measured with sufficient reliability 1.3 Legacies Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred, and once ail conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled. 

- 1.4 Expenditure recognition The Charity's accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make @ payment to a third party. 

a} Cost of generating funds 

The cost of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the Charity. 

## b} Grants payable 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the futherance of the Charity's objectives, which are to relieve those who are sick. Grants are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. This includes grants paid to NHS bodies and relevant allocation of support costs. The majority of grant payments made by the Charity have been made to University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust {the Trust}. 

## ¢} Governance costs 

These are accounted for on an accruals basis and are recharges of appropriate proportions of costs from the Trust. 

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 and the Charity does not currently hold any such 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 classified as designated funds. The major funds held are disclosed in note 9. 

* the Charity has a Corporate Trustee, which is the UHNM Trust Board. For the purposes of these financial statements references to ‘Trustees’ refer to members of the Corporate Trustee.

## 1.6 Investment Assets 

The Trust does not hold any investment assets. 

17 Realised gains and lasses 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}. 

- 1.8 Change in the Basis of Accounting 

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

- 19 Prior Year Adjustments 

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

- 1.10 Pooling Scheme 

An official pooling scheme is operated for investments held by the Charity. The scheme was registered with the Charity Commission on 31st March 1998. 

- 1.21 Related party transactions 

The Trust is the Charity’s only related party. During the year none of the Trustees or members of the key management staff or parties related to them has undertaken any material transactions with the Trust outside their role as employees of the Trust. During the year none of the Trustees have received any further remuneration or reimbursement of expenses for the provision of their services as a Trustee of the Charitable Fund outside their role as employees of the Trust. 

The Charity has made revenue and capital payments to the Trust where the Trustees are also members of the Trust Board. 

In year transactions amounted to £4.926m (2023/24: £2.774m). A balance of £0.979m was outstanding at the year end (2023/24: £1.617m) and this is included within creditors falling due within one year. 

1.12 Denise Coates Foundation 

The Charity received grant income from the Denise Coates Foundation in 2024/25 of £6.416m. This is on top of the £10.263m received in the three years up to the end of March 2023. There has therefore been an increase in income from Donations between 2023/24 and 2024/25 as shown in the SOFA. The financial statements include the income, expenditure and a restricted fund balance relating to schemes fully approved and to be funded by this income. 

1.13 Commitments Applications for expenditure are treated as commitments in the financial statements once approval has been granted and this outcome has been confirmed with the recipient by the year-end, which creates a constructive obligation. If there is uncertainty as to whether the recipient will be able to proceed with the proposa! and the payment becomes possible but not probable, then a liability for the commitment is not recognised. Instead, the funding commitment should be disclosed as a contingent liability, 

1.14 Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. 

1.15 Post Balance Sheet Events 

There are no post balance sheet events. 

4.16 Contingencies Contingent assets (that is, assets arising from past events whose existence by one or more future events not wholly within the entity's control) are not recognised as assets but are disclosed in note 11 where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
