Foreword by the Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee

Welcome to our Annual Report and Accounts for 2020/21. We are a charity which has as its trustee Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT) and we work for the benefit of NHS patients and their families and carers in five boroughs - Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Tameside and Glossop, Stockport and the surrounding areas.

We exist to use the Charity’s funds to enhance the experience of our patients. Our Charitable Funds committee looks for a direct connection to PCFT’s services which go over and above that normally provided by the NHS. The types of expenditure which are routinely paid from Charitable Funds fall into three main areas, namely; enhancing the patient environment, patient specific expenditure and funding of projects. I am delighted to be reviewing a successful year where we raised £172,000 and spent £227,000 to support the care and treatment of our patients. We continue to have as our aim the raising of funds to fulfil our charitable aims and strategy through our close partnership with PCFT. This partnership is key to our success and continues to go from strength to strength.

Throughout this financial year, the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the Charity as PCFT changed its operations to focus on managing the pandemic within its different services and we started to work with services to ascertain how we could improve things for staff, patients and their families in response to the pandemic.

Key highlights of our year:

Your donations made this work possible and your future donations are the key to our continued success. By improving an individual’s mental health today, you contribute towards a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities.

Trustee arrangements

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT) is the sole corporate trustee of the charity. The corporate trustee’s responsibilities are therefore carried out by PCFT’s board of directors. Further details of PCFT’s board membership can be found in its annual report and accounts - available at https://www.penninecare.nhs.uk/annualreports. The Board is appointed in accordance with PCFT’s constitution. During 2020/21 the Board members were:

As Pennine Care Charitable Foundation (PCCF) has a corporate trustee, it is, in accounting terms, controlled by PCFT and is therefore its subsidiary. Financially, the charity is not material to PCFT, so it is not consolidated into the PCFT’s accounts.

PCFT’s board as corporate trustee:

All members of the PCFT board are provided with the Charity Commission’s guidance: public benefit: an overview and the essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do (CC3) and a summary of what this means for a corporate trustee on a regular basis.

Who we are

Pennine Care Charitable Foundation (PCCF) is a registered charity (registered number 1055205). We exist to raise funds and receive donations for the benefit of the patients of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT). By securing donations, legacies and sponsorship, PCCF can fund improvements to services and equipment to make a real difference for patients, their families and the carers who look after them.

Providing both mental health and learning disability services for children and adults from around 200 different locations in five boroughs, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is our key partner in fulfilling our charitable aims.

We would like you to support us in our crucial work so please read on and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us.

What we aim to do: our objectives and activities

Our mission

By raising new money and through careful management of our existing funds, PCCF provides a public benefit by making grants to the services within PCFT and the organisations it works with in order:

‘to apply the income, and at its discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the general or specific purposes of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.’

Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution and the wishes and directions of donors. In making grants, we endeavour to reflect the wishes of patients and staff by directing funds towards areas they tell us are most in need. When considering where to focus our attention PCFT’s Board, as corporate trustee, and particularly the members of the Charitable Funds Committee have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and what this means for PCCF.

Our future plans are to continue to maintain our level of fundraising and work with NHS Charities Together to increase our level of income. This will allow us to enhance the services we provide to our communities to enable us to provide a service above and beyond that offered by the standard NHS proposition.

What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year

Our key aim is to serve the NHS patients of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT) for the public benefit. By funding improvements to services and equipment we are able to help the NHS body we work with provide care to their patients which goes beyond that which they are funded by the state to provide. By working with the NHS, we assist patients from every walk of life, irrespective of age, race, creed, ethnicity or personal or family financial circumstances. We put this aim into practice by helping the patients, their families and carers, and visitors to the Trust by:

We do this through considering a range of requests from our patients and services, funded by you, our generous donors. Highlights from the main work undertaken in the year are detailed below to give you a wider understanding of the difference we can make together to our patients today and in the future.

Reducing waiting times for military veterans who need psychological therapy

The Help for Heroes charity provided a grant to PCCF to support a project to improve waiting times for those military veterans resident in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. The Military Veterans' service provides a specialist, evidenced-based psychological therapy service for veterans. PCCF administer the grant to provide two additional clinical psychologist posts which significantly reduced veterans' waiting time to access treatment such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (t-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people overcome the effects of psychological trauma.

This project was implemented over a 3 year period, which ended in this financial year and a total of 172 veterans were seen over the life of the project. The average waiting time as of 30[th] September 2020 was 10 weeks, compared to the average waiting time at the beginning of the Grant in 2017, which was 20 weeks. Outcomes measures demonstrated that 88% of veterans who completed treatment achieved a significant improvement after their therapy.

Case Study

A veteran had served 12 years in the army and was deployed operationally to the Falklands, Bosnia and Northern Ireland where he incurred physical injuries and significant threat to life. These experiences resulted in significant alcohol problems alongside symptoms of anxiety, hyper-vigilance, nightmares, anger, poor sleep and nightmares.

Page 9 of 51

Initial treatment focussed on stabilisation techniques and psycho-education and work included a Cognitive Based Therapies approach to managing his anger and work around managing nightmares.

The veteran’s partner attended a number of the sessions and treatment looked at reclaiming life and work, specifically addressing the client’s sense of over-responsibility for others. This work entailed re-establishing values and goals aligned with client’s hopes for the future, creating a therapeutic formulation and finishing with maintaining progress and relapse prevention. There were a couple of relapses in alcohol use and this was also addressed.

This client maintained a significant reduction in alcohol consumption and has been able to prioritise his own needs by means of taking time from volunteering to have a day in the week just for himself. This has helped tremendously and has improved sleep, stopped nightmares, enabled a feeling of calm, reduction in hyper vigilance and ability to talk about military memories that, historically, were too difficult.

Improving the lives of those involved in the Manchester Arena attack

The Thomas Cook Children’s Charity provided a grant to PCCF to support treatment of children, young people and adults who were targeted at the Manchester Arena attack on 22 May 2017. NHS mental health providers in Greater Manchester, including PCFT, set up the Manchester Resilience Hub as a joint response to the attack. The Hub screen and coordinate the mental health care of any child, young person or adult involved in the attack.

Since 2018, The Thomas Cook Children’s Charity has provided monies to fund evidencebased therapy for children, young people and families affected by the Manchester Arena attack where such intervention is clinically indicated but is not available in a timely manner through routinely commissioned NHS mental health services.

Events that had been planned to help prepare people for the impact of the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena attack could not go ahead due to the COVID-19 pandemic and as the public inquiry moves on to examining the events of the night of 22nd May, including the inquest element of the inquiry, it is – sadly – inevitable that further cases will need funding for treatment.

Case Study

A young lady’s mother contacted us shortly after the Arena attack in July 2017 stating that her daughter, aged 9, was present at the attack but did not currently require support due to managing well. The family were provided with information on the Hub offer and were invited to screen and attend family events over the years but had not made contact.

In July 2020 the Hub was contacted by a practitioner from a children and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) where the young lady, now 13, had presented with trauma symptoms related to the Arena attack and had been assessed as needing trauma focused therapy. As there was a wait of over 12 months to access therapy within her local service

Page 10 of 51

the Hub were asked if they could support faster access to treatment.

This patient had been managing well before lockdown; attending school, maintaining friendships and was generally settled, however, when lockdown started, she experienced increased anxiety levels, with a feeling of sadness, and increased periods of tearfulness. Whilst she had had some anxiety regarding being in crowds since the Manchester Arena Attack, this had significantly increased following lockdown, finding being within crowded environments very challenging due to increased noise level, and the sense that she and her family were in danger. There was also an experience of panic attacks, usually triggered by loud noises, along with feelings of dizziness and nausea. It was identified that this triggers thoughts about the attack and the bomb, which then leads to palpitations and shortness of breath and when this happened she gets herself onto the floor and curls up into a ball.

The young lady also described an increase in flashbacks to the Arena Attack following lockdown, saying they were more severe, and left her feeling irritable and angry, making her ‘snappy’ with friends and family. She described becoming isolative and withdrawn from friendship groups, leading her to spend more time on social media, where she saw reminders of the Arena attack and other terrorist incidents which, in turn, increased nightmares about the attack as well as flashbacks.

The CAMHS service shared their assessment (with the patient and her mother’s consent) which was reviewed by a Hub clinician who agreed with the CAMHS recommendation that trauma focused therapy would be beneficial. The Hub located a private qualified and accredited Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing / Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, whose speciality was working with children and young people. The patient has had two online sessions with the therapist and is engaging well.

The Hub team will continue to liaise with the patient, her mother, the private therapist and her GP until treatment is complete and she is discharged.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on our staff and patients during this period. The support from the public has been heartfelt and people have wanted to do their bit to support the NHS in coping with this pandemic. NHS Charities Together is the umbrella organisation representing all NHS charities and they became the focal point for that charitable outpouring of support.

The incredible Captain Sir Tom Moore raised nearly £40 million as part of a national COVID19 appeal, and thousands of other supporters made personal sacrifices to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds in their own ways. In total, these efforts raised £150 million pounds, the vast majority of which was allocated to the 241 member NHS charities, which includes Pennine Care Charitable Foundation.

We were very grateful to receive these grants and a significant change was that part of these funds were to ensure both staff and patients were supported during the pandemic, whereas pre-pandemic we only supported our patients. Receiving these funds also generated more work for both the charity and the already stretched Trust staff in putting together the plans to spend the monies and also to ensure that we had good governance surrounding them.

Throughout the pandemic, our Charitable Funds Committee continued to meet regularly but online rather than face to face and we ensured that the charity continued to support our

patients and staff.

Improving the experience of our patients and carers across all ages

For 2020/21 expenditure of £23k has been incurred from unrestricted funds and has been used to improve patient welfare in a number of ways including:

How we funded our work

The following figures are taken from the annual accounts. This part of the trustee’s annual report comments on key features of those accounts. In this section we firstly explain how we raised the money and then how we spent it.

Money received: £172,000. Money spent: £227,000

PCCF can only continue to support the work of PCFT for as long as we receive the money we need. All of our income comes from grants from other charities and the voluntary efforts of the general public. Overall, we ended the year with £375,000 funds in hand

Money received: sources of funds

The chart below shows our main sources of income during 2020/21.

Grant income (£164,000) is our largest source of income for 2020/21, comprising grants received from NHS Charities Together to be used to enhance the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19. We are always keen to work with other charities to benefit groups of patients being treated at PCFT.

Donations from the public (£8,000) . From a few pence in a collecting box to several hundred pounds from grateful relatives, we are fortunate to receive generous gifts each year towards our work.

Page 13 of 51

Money spent: what we spent the money on

The chart below shows our areas of expenditure during 2020/21.

Our expenditure on charitable activities was made up of three areas:

Project expenditure. We spent £63,000 on supporting a project to improve waiting times for those military veterans resident in Greater Manchester and Lancashire and £32,000 to fund evidence-based therapy for children, young people and families affected by the Manchester Arena attack. See the ‘What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year’ section in this annual report for further details.

Patient welfare . The majority of patient welfare expenditure, £50,000, was funded by NHS Charities Together grants and items of expenditure included £27,000 on enhancements to PCFT ward environments including gardens, fitness equipment, electrical goods, furniture and sensory enhancements. We spent £21,000 on tablet devices for PCFT wards to aid patient communication with loved ones during lockdown. The remaining patient welfare expenditure, £23,000, was funded from donations and legacies and items of expenditure included £19,000 spent on various gym and fitness equipment and £3,000 spent on garden improvements across a number of PCFT’s ward environments

Staff welfare . The staff welfare expenditure was all funded by NHS Charities Together grants and items of expenditure included £15,000 on comfort boxes for frontline clinical staff; £13,000 on Thank You Week grants to all PCFT teams; and £9,000 hardship payments to families affected by COVID-19.

Performance against objectives

Spending the money is only part of the story because we are concerned to achieve value for money. To ensure funds are spent well, applications for funds from the unrestricted general purpose fund and other unrestricted designated funds are considered against a 20-point checklist the Charity has produced which considers the impact of the proposed project and measures against Charity Commission and Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) guidance. We ask applicants for confirmation of what they spent the money on and what difference it made to the clinical care and treatment of our patients. This information informs future grant making policy as well as providing a basis for assessing our performance.

PCCF’s Charitable Funds Officer co-ordinates the activities of our supporters both within PCFT and in the wider community on behalf of PCCF. PCCF does not actively fundraise or use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. There have been no issues of non-compliance with fundraising standards or any complaints regarding fundraising activity in 2020/21. PCCF welcome fundraising activities on behalf of PCCF. To ensure that fundraising activities are carried out in an appropriate manner, anyone wishing to fundraise must seek approval and formal authorisation from PCCF’s Charitable Funds Officer.

PCCF continues to be signed-up to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. The Charity subscribed to the code In October 2019 and we regularly check our processes adhere to the latest guidance to ensure we continue to comply with the Code.

During the year the total donations, legacies and income from fundraising (shown as other trading activities in the Statement of Financial Activities) came to £8,000. The Charitable Funds Committee considers this to be a creditable result against the current difficult economic backdrop and a general swing in the public’s giving to support national NHS charities during the national pandemic, as opposed to local NHS charities.

Whilst PCCF do not actively fundraise, if such activities were undertaken, we would benchmark our fundraising activity with our peers through the NHS Charities Together and if appropriate would monitor the comparative success of campaigns and overall fundraising cost to income ratios.

Our future plans

We will achieve our mission by working with PCFT to continue to enhance the patient experience by providing facilities and equipment that are over and above that provided by NHS funding. Our open invitation to the readers of our annual report and accounts is to join with us in our mission to provide these enhancements by making a gift to secure future improvements.

Your support makes these plans possible and to help us please do consider making a donation – our contact details are provided on page 22.

The Trustee and Charitable Funds Committee are due to consider the Charity’s future strategy during 2021/22 following charitable funds relating to community services having been transferred out of the Charity in 2019/20. This was as a result of the transfer of these health services from PCFT to other NHS providers.

The Help for Heroes funded support to the Greater Manchester and Lancashire Military Veterans project ended during 2020/21. The focus for 2021/22 will therefore be on continuing to effectively utilise the funding provided by the Thomas Cook Children’s Charity to enhance the support provided to Manchester Resilience Hub and to effectively spend monies expected from NHS Charities Together, raised as part of the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, following a decision on the Charity’s future strategy, the Charitable Funds Committee will review how best to utilise the existing unrestricted funds.

Financial management

Our grant making policy

PCCF makes grants from its unrestricted funds. Within the unrestricted funds, grants are made from the general purpose fund and other designated funds:

General fund

These funds are received by PCCF with no particular expenditure preference expressed by donors. The Charitable Funds Committee invites applications from any service within PCFT, and also from community groups within the communities PCFT serves, where there is a direct connection to the services and patients it cares for. These applications are reviewed quarterly by the Charitable Funds Committee and these grants can be spent once approved by the Committee.

Designated (earmarked) funds

These funds are established for a particular service provided by PCFT or activity nominated for support by the donor. They are overseen by the relevant service managers, who can make recommendations on how to spend the money within the designated area. These recommendations are reviewed quarterly by the Charitable Funds Committee and any grants can be spent once approved by the Committee.

Reserves policy

The Charitable Funds Committee has established a reserves policy as part of its plans to provide long term support to PCFT. The Charitable Funds Committee calculate the reserves as that part of the Charity’s unrestricted income funds that is freely available after taking account of designated funds that have been earmarked for the purposes of specific projects. The Charity does not commit to recurrently funded schemes.

The reserves policy requires that sufficient funds are available at the start of each financial year to fund up to 36 months of administration and independent examination costs and to cover other known commitments of the Charity, comprising all schemes approved by the Charitable Funds Committee. This ensures that there is sufficient certainty regarding the resources available with which to promote and manage the Charity's objectives and activities.

Page 17 of 51

As at 31 March 2021, the administration and independent examination costs amount to circa £21,300 per annum. There were no additional commitments. Therefore a minimum reserve of £64,000 is maintained. As at 31 March 2021 the reserves stand at £186,000 and are calculated as follows:

Total unrestricted funds £197,000 Less designated funds (£11,000) Total reserves £186,000 Less minimum reserve (£64,000) Surplus reserves £122,000

Of these reserves, £64,000 is held in the General Reserve and £122,000 in the Pennine Care General Purpose fund.

The Charitable Funds Committee expects that designated funds will be spent within three years. It therefore regularly reviews the balances held in designated funds against this benchmark unless it has been agreed that a different period is more appropriate based on the reason for the designation. Where the fund has not been spent within three years, the Charitable Funds Committee will determine whether the fund is likely to be committed in the near future and the extent to which there is a continuing need for the particular designated fund. Where it is decided that the designation is no longer necessary or the designated fund has been inactive for more than five years, the funds are closed and transferred to the general fund.

Our financial health: a strong balance sheet

As at 31[st] March 2021, PCCF’s net current assets stand at £375,000 representing cash balances held, plus accrued income (grant income monies owed to PCCF), less trade creditors. Of this £375,000, £196,000 is held in unrestricted funds and £179,000 in restricted funds. See accounts note 15 to the annual accounts for further details.

Investment strategy

The Trustee and Charitable Funds Committee are due to consider the Charity’s future strategy during 2021/22, following the charitable funds relating to community services having been transferred out of the Charity in 2019/20, as a result of the transfer of these services from PCFT to other NHS providers.

The Committee has not made any investments during this financial year. There has also not been a formal assessment of the appetite for risk which would be needed to inform a formal investment strategy. All cash balances are currently held in a NatWest business current account which minimises PCCF’s exposure to interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

Page 18 of 51

Risk management

As part of the business planning exercise carried out during the year, the Charitable Funds Committee has considered the major risks to which PCCF is exposed. These have reviewed and systems and steps identified to mitigate those risks. Two major risks have been identified as below and arrangements have been put in place to mitigate those risks.

Future levels of income

PCCF is reliant on donations to allow it to make grants to support PCFT services and other related beneficiaries. If income falls, then the Charity would not be able to make as many grants or enter into longer term commitments with the bodies it supports.

Whilst we forecast local donations may decline, the Charitable Funds Committee expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will actually increase nationally co-ordinated donations to NHS charities through organisations such as NHS Charities Together who we have membership with. NHS Charities Together have provided additional grant income of £165,000 during 2020/21 and further grants are anticipated during 2021/22.

Unforeseen changes in the operation of the NHS

The NHS is, by its very nature, subject to national changes in government policy as well as local politically driven decisions. The Charitable Funds Committee has identified this as a risk as it may mean initiatives or healthcare activities supported by PCCF are subject to change from time to time. The Charitable Funds Committee regularly liaises with NHS partners to understand the changes that they are facing at an early stage.

A big thank you

The ability of PCCF to continue its vital support for PCFT is dependent on continued support and donations from the general public. Donations, whether large or small continue to make a difference to PCFT’s patients. PCCF also continues to forge strong relationships with members of PCFT staff without whose co-operation the ability to make an effective contribution would be much diminished.

On behalf of the trustee body, the Charitable Funds Committee would like to pay tribute to:

Notes to the accounts

Note 1 Basis of preparation

1.1 Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

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

1.2 Going concern

The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about Pennine Care Charitable Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an insignificant impact on the Charity given the Charity does not actively fundraise or undertake trading activities and receives relatively low levels of voluntary income. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.

1.3 Change of accounting policy

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2. There have been no changes to accounting policies in the reporting period.

1.4 Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

1.5 Material prior year errors

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

Note 2 Accounting policies

2.1 Income

Recognition of income All incoming resources are recognised and included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.

Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102

Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. In the case of performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met.

Legacies Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable. Receipt is probable when:

If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated, then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Page 34 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. All gains and losses are taken to the SoFA as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later).

Page 35 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

2.2 Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability recognition All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the SoFA. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Grants payable Grants payable are payments made to linked, related party or thirdparty NHS bodies and non-NHS bodies, in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds held on trust.

Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payment have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment. A constructive obligation arises when:

The trustee has control over the amount and timing of grant payments and consequently where approval has been given by the Charitable Funds Committee, on behalf of the trustee, and any of the above criteria have been met then a liability is recognised. Grants are not usually awarded with conditions attached. However, when they are then those conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised.

Where an intention has not been communicated, then no expenditure is recognised but an appropriate designation is made in the appropriate fund. If a grant has been offered but there is uncertainty as to whether it will be accepted or whether conditions will be met, then no liability is recognised but a contingent liability is disclosed.

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Support costs Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration and fees for independent examination of the accounts. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. The analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment are shown in note 5.

Raising funds Costs of raising funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects. The costs of generating funds would represent fundraising costs together with investment management fees.

Charitable activities Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs as shown in the relevant accounts note.

Staff Costs The Charity fully reimburses Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust for the staff costs of the Charitable Fund Officer, who provides administrative and governance support for the Charity. The charge includes employer pension contributions on the NHS Pension Scheme which is an unfunded defined benefit scheme which is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme.

Creditors Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They 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.

Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date

Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition at their transaction value. Subsequently they are measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. The SoFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

2.3 Assets

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £5,000. They are valued at cost. If appropriate, depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in the relevant accounts note.

Page 37 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Intangible fixed assets Intangible fixed assets are non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and would be controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. They are valued at cost. If appropriate, amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in the relevant accounts note.

Investments Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments.

Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value.

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Debtors Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are cash in hand and deposits with any financial institution repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

Current asset investments Current asset investments are those held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

2.4 Other

Structure of funds Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified either as:

Page 38 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation or grant to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. The restricted funds relate to the Help for Heroes Greater Manchester and Lancashire Military Veteran's Project and the Thomas Cook Children's Charity Manchester Resilience Hub Project

Endowment funds arise when the donor has expressly provided that the gift is to be invested and only the income of the fund may be spent. These funds are sub analysed between those where the trustee has the discretion to spend the capital (expendable endowment) and those where there is no discretion to expend the capital (permanent endowment).

Those funds which are neither endowment nor restricted funds, are unrestricted income funds which are sub analysed between designated (earmarked) funds where the trustee has set aside amounts to be used for specific purposes or which reflect the non-binding wishes of donors, and unrestricted funds which are at the trustee’s discretion, including the general purpose fund and general reserve fund.

Related party transactions Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the charity and is its main grant beneficiary. Grants paid by the charity to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust are detailed in note 8. With the exception of the staff costs for the Charitable Fund Officer being recharged from the Trust to the charity, all other management and administrative costs have been incurred and not recharged by the Trust.

None of the members of the Board of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust or parties related to them has undertaken any transactions with the charity or received any benefit from the charity in payment or kind. Board members received no honoraria, emoluments or expenses from the charity.

Accounting estimates In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and the estimates and underlying assumptions are continually reviewed. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.

Estimates included in this year’s financial statements are:

Page 39 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Tax The charity ensures it is a public benefit entity by making grants to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and community groups in the communities the Trust serves. The charity is able to do this through the raising of new money and the careful management of existing funds.

The charity is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments, and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the charity’s primary objectives, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

Note 4 Analysis of expenditure

Charitable activities: activities undertaken directly

The activities undertaken directly within the patient welfare and staff welfare charitable activities expenditure for 2020/21 are funded by NHS Charities Together grant income and are to enhance the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19

The activities undertaken directly expenditure on the Military Veteran's Project relates to expenditure initially incurred by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and then recharged to the charity. This project is funded by Help for Heroes and aims to improve waiting times for military veterans resident in Greater Manchester and Lancashire, through providing two additional clinical psychologist posts to significantly reduce veterans waiting time to access treatment. The expenditure recharged is a mixture of pay and non-pay costs.

The activities undertaken directly expenditure on the Manchester Resilience Hub Project relates to expenditure initially incurred by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and then

Page 42 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

recharged to the charity. This project is funded by Thomas Cook Children's Charity and funds evidence-based therapy for children, young people and families affected by the Manchester Arena attack where clinical intervention is required but is not available in a timely manner through routinely commissioned NHS mental health services. The expenditure recharged is a mixture of pay and non-pay costs.

Charitable activities: grant funding of activities

The grant funding of activities within the patient welfare expenditure for both 2020/21 and 2019/20 were made in furtherance of the Charities aims to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust following approval of funding applications by the Charitable Funds Committee who have delegated authority from the Board of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. The staff welfare expenditure in 2020/21 was 'Thank You Week' grants paid to all Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust teams which was funded by NHS Charities Together grant income. Further details of the grants made are in note 8.

Other: Transfers to NHS Charities

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust transferred the community services below to other NHS providers during 2019/20. As part of these transfers and in line with NHS convention, charitable fund balances relating to these community services have been transferred to the new NHS providers’ charitable funds.

During 2019/20 unrestricted charitable funds totalling £124k were transferred to Salford Royal NHS FT General Charitable Fund and £177k to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Charity. The Board of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust authorised these transfers.

Note 5 Support Costs

Support costs are allocated between Raising funds and the Charitable activities expenditure types. Support costs are costs that, whilst necessary to deliver the activities, do not themselves produce or constitute the output of the charitable activities. They relate to the strategic and day to day management of the Charity.

Salary and related costs relate to the Charitable Fund Officer who is employed directly by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust but whose costs (0.6 whole time equivalent) have been recharged to the Charity. All other management and administrative costs not recognised in the note above have been incurred by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

Support Costs have been allocated over the charitable activities expenditure categories incurred relating to unrestricted funds. No support costs have been allocated to the charitable activities expenditure incurred on restricted funds (Help for Heroes Military Veteran's Project; Thomas Cook Children's Charity Manchester Resilience Hub Project; and NHS Charities Together Grants). Given that a significant proportion of this expenditure was in the form of grants paid to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, the support costs have been allocated across the grants paid and the expenditure for activities undertaken directly in proportion to the value of the grants paid/direct expenditure.

The Charity does not employ any staff directly.

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Note 6 Fees for examination of the accounts

In 2020/21 and 2019/20 Grant Thornton UK LLP have completed an independent examination of the Annual Report and Accounts. In 2019/20 this was on a pro-bono basis. A full external audit was not required as the charity’s gross income and total assets did not meet the threshold for a full audit. No additional advisory or assurance services were provided by Grant Thornton UK LLP.

Note 7 Staff Costs

No employees received employee benefits (excluding employer pension costs) for the reporting period of more than £60,000.

The Charity considers its key management personnel to be the members of the Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust Board, given that Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. The total employment benefits including employer pension contributions of the key management personnel were nil.

Page 45 of 51

Notes to the accounts (continued)

Note 8 Grant making

All grants are made to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust or other community groups within the communities the Trust serves in furtherance of the Charities aims. The Charitable Funds Committee review funding applications on a quarterly basis against a set approval criteria.

In 2020/21 and 2019/20 all grant support was given to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. The total cost of making grants, including support costs, is disclosed on the Statement of Financial Activities and the actual funds spent on each category of charitable activity is disclosed in note 5.

Note 12 Other disclosures for debtors, creditors and other basic financial instruments

The Charity is not subject to significant risks on its financial instruments as follows:

Currency Risk The Charity has no exposure to currency rate fluctuations as it operates as a domestic organisation with transactions, assets and liabilities being in the UK and sterling based.

Interest Rate Risk The Charity has low exposure to interest rate fluctuations as holds no borrowings or investments. Cash balances are held in a NatWest business current account which minimises exposure to significant interest rate fluctuations.

Credit Risk The Charity has low exposure to credit risk as debtor balances are either with Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust or with organisations who have provided project grant funding to the Charity where signed contracts are in place.

Liquidity Risk The Charity is not exposed to significant liquidity risks. The Charity holds no investments and cash balances are held in an instant access NatWest business current account.

The Charity has not provided any financial assets as a form of security.

All items have been recognised at cost or transaction value and there has therefore been no movement in measurement of fair value through the SoFA.
