Foreword by the Chair of the Trustee

Welcome to our Annual Report and Accounts for 2023/24. 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 Stockport and the surrounding areas.

We exist to use the Charity’s funds to enhance the experience of our patients and staff. 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 £143,000 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.

Key highlights of our year:

• £124,000 of grants received from NHS Charities Together

• £15,000 of grants received from Sport England

• £4,000 received from Donations and Legacies

• £44,000 spent on patient welfare

• £24,000 spent on staff welfare

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.

I would like to thank members of the public who fundraise to help PCCF and also the volunteers who sit on the Charitable Funds Committee.

I hope that, like me, you will be inspired by our work and want to be a part of our story. If you would like to donate, details about how to do this are at the end of this report. Please support us, every donation counts.

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:

• review and approve PCCF’s strategic direction.

• re-appoint or appoint members of the charitable funds committee; and

• approve PCCF’s annual report and accounts for the year.

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, learning disability and autism 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 fund the services Pennine Care and others provide to our communities to enable us to support the provision of services above and beyond that offered by the standard NHS proposition.

P a g e 7 | 45

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

Our key aim is to serve the NHS patients and staff 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:

• enhancing the care PCFT can offer through new equipment and building improvements to deliver better facilities

• providing direct support to patients by way of information, networking support and better facilities

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.

PCFT Charity Strategy

The Trust Board approved funding to engage an external consultant to produce a 5 year strategy for the Charity . This will support our aim to work with PCFT to continue to enhance the patient experience by providing facilities and equipment that are over and above that provided by NHS funding.

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 following the public inquiry examining the events of the night of 22nd May, including the inquest element of the inquiry, it is – sadly – inevitable that further cases may need funding for treatment.

Improving the experience of our patients and carers across all ages and staff

For 2023/24 expenditure has been used to improve patient welfare in a number of ways including:

• £10,000 towards yoga sessions for staff and patients

• £41,000 towards supporting the victims of the Manchester Arena attack

• £24,000 towards improving staff wellbeing through a range of projects

P a g e 9 | 45

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: £143,000 Money spent: £122,000

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 funds of £295,000 in hand.

Money received: sources of funds

The chart below shows our main sources of income during 2023/24.

Grant income £124,000 is our largest source of income for 2023/24, comprising grants received from NHS Charities Together to be used to enhance the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19 and to develop the charity’s medium-term strategy. We are always keen to work with other charities to benefit groups of patients being treated at PCFT.

Donations from the public £4,000 . 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.

P a g e 10 | 45

Money spent: what we spent the money on

The chart below shows our areas of expenditure on charitable activities during 2023/24.

Our expenditure on charitable activities was made up of two main areas:

Patient welfare . All patient welfare expenditure, £3,000, was funded by NHS Charities Together grants.

We spent £41,000 on patient care through the Manchester Resilience Hub which was set up in response to the Manchester Arena Attack to support those whose mental wellbeing was affected.

Staff welfare . The majority of staff welfare expenditure, £24,000, was funded by NHS Charities Together grants.

We also spent £50,000 on developing the charity’s new medium-term strategy, with £30,000 of this amount funded by a NHS Charities Together grant, specifically for that purpose.

P a g e 11 | 45

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 generalpurpose 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. On completion of the project, 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, 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 2023/24. PCCF welcome fundraising activities on behalf of PCFT. To ensure that fundraising activities are conducted 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 £4,000. 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 19.

P a g e 12 | 45

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 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.

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.

P a g e 13 | 45

Our financial health: a strong balance sheet

As at 31[st] March 2024, PCCF’s net current assets stand at £295,000 representing cash balances held, less trade creditors. Of this £295,000, £77,000 relates to unrestricted funds and £218,000 to restricted funds. See accounts note 15 to the annual accounts for further details.

Investment strategy

The Trust Board approved funding to engage an external consultant to produce a 5-year strategy for the Charity . This will support our aim to work with PCFT to continue to enhance the patient experience by providing facilities and equipment that are over and above that provided by NHS funding.

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.

P a g e 14 | 45

Risk management

As part of the business planning exercise conducted 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.

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.

P a g e 20 | 45

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:

• the members of staff who give of their time out of hours in supporting the work of PCCF, in developing ideas for expenditure and working with us to identify how we can help them care for our services users and carers; and

• our supporters who do so much to encourage others to enrich lives through donations and fundraising activities.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the trustee’s annual report and accounts

The trustee is responsible for preparing the trustee’s annual report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The trustee has to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The trustee must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.

• state whether the recommendations of the SORP (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements).

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The trustee is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. The trustee has responsibility for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiners Report to the Corporate Trustee of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation

I report on the accounts of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation (the “charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

• which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; and

• to comply with the applicable requirements concerning the corm and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008

have not been met, or

• to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as corporate trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement above.

Respective Responsibilities of Corporate Trustee and Examiner

The charity’s corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity’s trustees have prepared the charity’s accounts in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’ issued in October 2019 in preference to the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005)’ issued in April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 but has been withdrawn.

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 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019

• the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)

• with the Charities Act 2011 and

• UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019

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:

• the charity becomes entitled to the resources:

• it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received; and

• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

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:  confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted.

• the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy; and

• all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity’s control.

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.

P a g e 29 | 45

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).

P a g e 30 | 45

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:

• there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

• it is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement; and

• the amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

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 third- party 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 charity has communicated its intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant; or

• the charity has made a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant; or

• there is an established pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that the charity will honour our commitment.

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.

P a g e 31 | 45

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.

P a g e 32 | 45

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 of 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:

• a restricted fund; or

• an endowment fund.

P a g e 33 | 45

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 Thomas Cook Children's Charity Manchester Resilience Hub Project, Sport England Yoga project and NHS Charities Together Grants.

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 generalpurpose 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:

• apportionment of support costs to charitable activities; and

• accrued income including estimates of final project outturn positions.

P a g e 34 | 45

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.

Charitable activities: grant funding of activities

The grant funding of activities within the patient welfare expenditure for both 2023/24 and 2022/23 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 Charity does not employ any staff directly. Staff 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. This member of staff vacated the role in December 2022, and no other salary costs were paid in 2023/24. All other management and administrative staff costs have been incurred by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

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 (2022/23 nil).

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. Grants and payments are made by the Charity having assessed available resources and sufficient cash reserves are held to cover 36 months support costs.

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

Note 13 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

13.1 Contingent liabilities

The Charity does not have any contingent liabilities.

13.2 Contingent assets

The Charity does not have any contingent assets.

Note 14 Events after the end of the reporting period

Foreword by the Chair of the Trustee

Welcome to our Annual Report and Accounts for 2023/24. 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 Stockport and the surrounding areas.

We exist to use the Charity’s funds to enhance the experience of our patients and staff. 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 £143,000 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.

Key highlights of our year:

• £124,000 of grants received from NHS Charities Together

PCFT’s board as corporate trustee:

• review and approve PCCF’s strategic direction.

• re-appoint or appoint members of the charitable funds committee; and

• approve PCCF’s annual report and accounts for the year.

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, learning disability and autism 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 fund the services Pennine Care and others provide to our communities to enable us to support the provision of services above and beyond that offered by the standard NHS proposition.

P a g e 7 | 45

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

Our key aim is to serve the NHS patients and staff 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:

• enhancing the care PCFT can offer through new equipment and building improvements to deliver better facilities

• providing direct support to patients by way of information, networking support and better facilities

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.

PCFT Charity Strategy

The Trust Board approved funding to engage an external consultant to produce a 5 year strategy for the Charity . This will support our aim to work with PCFT to continue to enhance the patient experience by providing facilities and equipment that are over and above that provided by NHS funding.

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 following the public inquiry examining the events of the night of 22nd May, including the inquest element of the inquiry, it is – sadly – inevitable that further cases may need funding for treatment.

Improving the experience of our patients and carers across all ages and staff

For 2023/24 expenditure has been used to improve patient welfare in a number of ways including:

• £10,000 towards yoga sessions for staff and patients

• £41,000 towards supporting the victims of the Manchester Arena attack

• £24,000 towards improving staff wellbeing through a range of projects

P a g e 9 | 45

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: £143,000 Money spent: £122,000

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 funds of £295,000 in hand.

Money received: sources of funds

The chart below shows our main sources of income during 2023/24.

Grant income £124,000 is our largest source of income for 2023/24, comprising grants received from NHS Charities Together to be used to enhance the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19 and to develop the charity’s medium-term strategy. We are always keen to work with other charities to benefit groups of patients being treated at PCFT.

Donations from the public £4,000 . 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.

P a g e 10 | 45

Money spent: what we spent the money on

The chart below shows our areas of expenditure on charitable activities during 2023/24.

Our expenditure on charitable activities was made up of two main areas:

Patient welfare . All patient welfare expenditure, £3,000, was funded by NHS Charities Together grants.

We spent £41,000 on patient care through the Manchester Resilience Hub which was set up in response to the Manchester Arena Attack to support those whose mental wellbeing was affected.

Staff welfare . The majority of staff welfare expenditure, £24,000, was funded by NHS Charities Together grants.

We also spent £50,000 on developing the charity’s new medium-term strategy, with £30,000 of this amount funded by a NHS Charities Together grant, specifically for that purpose.

P a g e 11 | 45

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 generalpurpose 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. On completion of the project, 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, 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 2023/24. PCCF welcome fundraising activities on behalf of PCFT. To ensure that fundraising activities are conducted 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 £4,000. 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 19.

P a g e 12 | 45

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 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.

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.

P a g e 13 | 45

Our financial health: a strong balance sheet

As at 31[st] March 2024, PCCF’s net current assets stand at £295,000 representing cash balances held, less trade creditors. Of this £295,000, £77,000 relates to unrestricted funds and £218,000 to restricted funds. See accounts note 15 to the annual accounts for further details.

Investment strategy

The Trust Board approved funding to engage an external consultant to produce a 5-year strategy for the Charity . This will support our aim to work with PCFT to continue to enhance the patient experience by providing facilities and equipment that are over and above that provided by NHS funding.

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.

P a g e 14 | 45

Risk management

As part of the business planning exercise conducted 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.

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.

P a g e 20 | 45

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:

• the members of staff who give of their time out of hours in supporting the work of PCCF, in developing ideas for expenditure and working with us to identify how we can help them care for our services users and carers; and

• our supporters who do so much to encourage others to enrich lives through donations and fundraising activities.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the trustee’s annual report and accounts

The trustee is responsible for preparing the trustee’s annual report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The trustee has to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The trustee must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.

• state whether the recommendations of the SORP (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements).

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The trustee is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. The trustee has responsibility for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiners Report to the Corporate Trustee of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation

I report on the accounts of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation (the “charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

• which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; and

• to comply with the applicable requirements concerning the corm and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008

have not been met, or

• to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as corporate trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement above.

Respective Responsibilities of Corporate Trustee and Examiner

The charity’s corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity’s trustees have prepared the charity’s accounts in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’ issued in October 2019 in preference to the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005)’ issued in April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 but has been withdrawn. I understand that the charity’s

P a g e 23 | 45

trustees have done this in order for the charity’s accounts to give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. This report is made solely to the charity’s corporate trustee, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiners report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report of for the opinions I have formed.

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 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019

• the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)

• with the Charities Act 2011 and

• UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019

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:

• the charity becomes entitled to the resources:

• it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received; and

• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

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:  confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted.

• the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy; and

• all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity’s control.

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.

P a g e 29 | 45

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).

P a g e 30 | 45

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:

• there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

• it is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement; and

• the amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

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 third- party 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 charity has communicated its intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant; or

• the charity has made a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant; or

• there is an established pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that the charity will honour our commitment.

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.

P a g e 31 | 45

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.

P a g e 32 | 45

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 of 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:

• a restricted fund; or

• an endowment fund.

P a g e 33 | 45

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 Thomas Cook Children's Charity Manchester Resilience Hub Project, Sport England Yoga project and NHS Charities Together Grants.

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 generalpurpose 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:

• apportionment of support costs to charitable activities; and

• accrued income including estimates of final project outturn positions.

P a g e 34 | 45

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.

Charitable activities: activities undertaken directly

The activities undertaken directly within the patient welfare and staff welfare charitable activities expenditure for 2023/24 and 2022/23 are funded by NHS Charities Together grant income and funds from the Charity's General Fund and are to enhance the wellbeing of staff, volunteers and patients.

Charitable activities: grant funding of activities

The grant funding of activities within the patient welfare expenditure for both 2023/24 and 2022/23 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.

All other management and administrative staff costs have been incurred by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

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.

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. Grants and payments are made by the Charity having assessed available resources and sufficient cash reserves are held to cover 36 months support costs.

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

Note 13 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

13.1 Contingent liabilities

The Charity does not have any contingent liabilities.

13.2 Contingent assets

The Charity does not have any contingent assets.

Independent Examiners Report to the Corporate Trustee of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation

I report on the accounts of Pennine Care Charitable Foundation (the “charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

• which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; and

• to comply with the applicable requirements concerning the corm and content of accounts set out in the Charities( Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008

have not been met, or

• to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as corporate trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement above.

Respective Responsibilities of Corporate Trustee and Examiner

The charity’s corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity’s trustees have prepared the charity’s accounts in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’ issued in October 2019 in preference to the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005)’ issued in April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations

2008 but has been withdrawn. I understand that the charity’s trustees have done this in order for the charity’s accounts to give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. This report is made solely to the charity’s corporate trustee, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiners report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report of for the opinions I have formed.
