For our Lincolnshire NHS Charity, we have seen much success, some of which we have illustrated in the following pages of our report. Enhancing the health care experience of our patients and our communities in Lincolnshire is our primary objective, alongside enhancing the health and wellbeing of our fantastic NHS staff, whose commitment throughout the pandemic has been tremendous. Despite the demands, the tiredness and the unknowns, our staff and supporters have once again pulled out all the stops and raised significant funds to be put to good use in our services or in support of our staff. Our grateful thanks go to all those people. The money raised for Lincolnshire NHS Charity does make a real difference to the patients, service users, and NHS staff at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Over the past year donations have been used to purchase a range of items and services including new physiotherapy equipment for paediatric patients at Johnson Hospital in Spalding, walking aids to help patients under the care of the community Parkinson’s team, and funding several staff sports groups to meet outside of working hours. It would be remis of me not to also mention our highestprofile piece of fundraising and spending of this year. The team at Scarbrough Ward in Skegness Hospital blew us all away with their fantastic fundraising efforts in aid of purchasing a therapy dog for their ward. In August 2021 the team had raised enough money and purchased a lovely Labrador puppy that they have chosen to name Rammie after animal-lover Dr Ram who works on the ward. In addition, we have been fortunate to begin spending Stage 2 of the monies raised by Captain Sir Tom and have chosen to use that for the purposes of improving the care of people suffering with long-covid across the county. At the time of writing, the project is in the early exploratory and co-production stages of working with people that have lived experiences of long-covid with a view to improving services available for them. We are proud of the work the Charity has done largely due to its supporters and donors in the last year.Looking forward, we hope to focus even more on spending the money we raise for the benefit of patient, carers and staff, in the way that donors have expressed their wishes. I know I speak on behalf of all members of the Charitable Funds Committee when I say **THANK YOU** to all of those who have donated, left a legacy, raised money and simply given up their valuable time to help our charity have yet another successful year. My personal thanks also go to the Committee members who all have full-on roles in either the Community or Mental Health/Learning Disability Trust and still find time to work with me, ensuring that we raise and spend funds in the best possible way. With best wishes ## **Gail Shadlock** ## **Chair** 3 ## **Introduction** This report is produced to provide information to supplement the accounts and will be submitted to the Charity Commission. It complies with the latest Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) recommendations. All expenditure has been agreed within delegated limits set by the Trustee. The charity exists to assist two trusts; Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT). LCHS provides community healthcare services for the population of Lincolnshire. LPFT provides specialist health and social care services for people with a learning disability and/or mental health issues. Lincolnshire is one of the largest healthcare communities in the country, covering an area of 2,350 square miles and a population of 735,000. The charity is funded by donations, often from patients and their families who are grateful for the care they have received and wish to support the work of the two trusts. The charity exists to enhance and improve patient experience by providing things like additional equipment, extra training or by improving the surroundings for service users and staff. Donations make a significant difference to the lives of patients and staff in Lincolnshire. Donors can tell us how they would like their gift to be spent. This could be a particular service, ward or team, however, the most useful donations are ones where staff can choose how to put the funds to best use for patients. **----- Start of picture text -----**

4 ## **Objectives** ## **One:** To enhance the care of patients in Lincolnshire with a focus on quality, safety and reputation ## **Two:** To increase awareness and understanding of the public generally and patients and staff particularly to increase engagement with the Charity ## **Three:** To help our NHS staff better serve their patients, we will assist with funding staff wellbeing and training ## **Four:** To obtain value for money and best returns on money invested The Corporate Trustee of the Charity is Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and the Trust has established a Charity Committee of Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) that carries out the administration of the funds on behalf of the Trustee. The Committee meet regularly throughout the year. A regular report was presented to the Committee, providing details of income and expenditure and any significant issues relating to the Charity were discussed in this forum. NHS fund managers govern the funds within their own area and request the use of charitable funds, where expenditure is appropriate to the objectives of the charity and up to £1,000. For purchases over £1,000 and up to £10,000 an approval form must be signed by the relevant chief executive. For all purchases over £10,000, authorisation from the Charity Committee must be granted. In September 2020 Lincolnshire NHS Charity underwent a strategic review to ensure that the charity’s key objectives are in-line with the priorities of both LCHS and LPFT. This strategy was subject to a further review in March 2022. As a result the committee agreed on the following mission, vision and objectives. ## **Five:** To facilitate the articulation of need by patients, family and staff and then help meet that need ## **Six:** To support and cooperate with other local groups and charities with similar aims ## **The charity’s mission:** The Lincolnshire NHS Charity will help to improve the health and wellbeing of patients and families served by Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. ## **The charity’s vision:** To enable the people of Lincolnshire to live well in5 their communities with great care, close to home. Every year our supporters, whether members of the public or staff, raise thousands of pounds for **----- Start of picture text -----**

our charity. Patients and their families often thank staff for the care that they have received by making donations, confident that the money will be spent on a particular service in a manner that improves the experience of patients in the future. We ensure this money is spent quickly and effectively benefitting as many of our patients as possible. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Fundraising** 6 ## **Ward Therapy Dog Rammie** In April 2021 the team at Skegness Hospital Scarbrough Ward undertook a 24-hour bike-athon, a skydive, hosted raffles, and obtained sponsorship from local businesses raising over £3,500 to date to raise funds to purchase a puppy for their ward. In summer 2021 a very energetic puppy joined the team and began training to become a fully qualified therapy dog. The puppy was named Rammie after Dr Ram who works at Scarborough Ward. After Rami's purchase and extensive training in 2021, we are now in 2022/3 able to see the major impact Rami is making supporting patients on the ward. Rammie has settled in and adored by all patients, families and staff. **----- Start of picture text -----**

In partnership with ULHT Charity, in July we held our NHS Big Tea Event. It was a wonderful collaboration with Music, Dance and lots of Cake! As people arrived they could buy drinks and cakes to have before the entertainment started. These were kindly dontated by Bakkavor and we were supported throughout the day by Boston Football club so we want to give them a big thank you. As the event began we had a **Image: Big Tea fundraising at Discovery House** big bouncy castle for children to have a play on and it was a big hit. Luckily the rain stayed off for most of the day so everyone could have a go. The entertainment began and we were in for a huge treat! There was so much talent on show, including renditions of musical songs including some from the Jersey Boys and dances. They were incredible to listen to and everyone enjoyed singing and dancing along. We also had a lot of competitions to get involved with such as guess the weight of the cake! **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Supporting Music Therapy at Archer Ward!** The new department piano funded with charitable donations has been a huge hit with staff & patients at Louth Hospital Archer Ward. The idea for the digital piano came from one of the staff nurses who had sourced it online and used charitable funds to purchase it. The team have also said that the piano has provided excellent musical therapy for the patients being cared for on the ward, as well as added fun & laughter for all the patients as they love to reminisce over old songs! 12 ## **Johnson Hospital** The outpatient department at Johnson Community in Spalding has received a brand new drugs fridge. The fridge has been purchased with monies raised for Lincolnshire NHS Charity and will provide a valuable addition to ensure that all temperature controlled drugs are stored at the correct temperatures. Danielle Holton, Outpatients Clinical Team Lead said: “The drugs fridge is a great benefit to the department and will offer a larger capacity to store drugs for clinics and theatres for our rapidly growing department.” Photo: Bruce Mularney, Staff Nurse with the new purchase **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** Decisions on how the money is spent are generally made by the staff on the front line of our care systems. We feel they are best placed to know what will help them do their job more effectively and how best we can help those who use our services. ## **FUNDRAISING** LCHS and LPFT teams will run a variety of fundraising activities across the county to raise money for Lincolnshire NHS Charity. At the time of writing this we are delighted to report Lincolnshire NHS Charity's Development Grant application for rebranding and fundraising has been approved for funding. ## **MENTAL HEALTH REHABILITATION** Charitable funds will be used to support therapeutic activities for service users such as gardening, crafts and art. Plans have already been made for the year ahead to enable Lincolnshire NHS Charity to continue its great work. ## **HEALTH & WELLBEING PROJECTS** We will continue to fundraise for the charitable fund dedicated to improving staff health & wellbeing. This will be used to support staff activity groups such as football, netball, and singing. 17 ## LOOKING AFTER YOUR MONEY The Trustee has a general duty of care to protect the assets of the charity and therefore fund balances must be held in a secure and responsible manner, providing a reasonable return for the benefit of the charity. A risk-averse approach to investment is maintained by the charity. Funds not required for immediate spending are invested in a prudent manner to minimise risk whilst seeking to obtain income to support the charity. A current bank account is held to ensure prompt payment may be made to meet the day-to-day needs of the charity. Various fixed-term and notice accounts deposits have been made to maximise the amount of interest earned to benefit the charity, whilst ensuring that sufficient money is made available for any large spending plans. Fixed term deposits are usually set up so that they mature at different times and can either be re-invested or spent to match current needs. Long term investments are made with Charities, Churches and Local Authorities (CCLA) Investment Management Limited in Charities Official and Investment Fund (COIF) Income Units; these are higher risk as the value of the investment is not guaranteed but, historically, they have provided a good return with the wide spread of the pooled investment limiting risk. More information is available in the Charity’s Investment Policy. The Trust’s Charitable Funds Committee is responsible for updating the policy annually, a copy of the policy can be obtained by phoning 01522-308686. The charity operates in line with the Standing Financial Instructions of the Trustee, the Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust. ## **Reserves Policy** Funds donated or earned from investments etc. are made available to the fund managers to spend. The projects undertaken by the charity are one off purchases and not long term projects with ongoing costs or liabilities and so the charity does not hold reserves. If, in the unlikely circumstances that all funds were fully spent up, then activities would naturally cease. ## **Risk management** Under the Charities Legislation of 2011 and the accounting Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), charities are now required to show that they are being managed effectively and to show that they are mindful of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The major risks have been identified and reviewed by the Trustee and a system has been established to mitigate these risks. This is administered by members of the finance department. ## FINANCIAL OVERVIEW During the year, the charity received £42k in donations, which was significantly down compared to the last year total of £103k. Legacies received totalled £24k compared to £72k in the previous year. Grants were received from NHS Charities Together’s Covid-19 Appeal totalling £226k and these are largely in the process of being spent on a 2 year project working with NHS staff who are themselves carers for friends and family and also helping people suffering from post Covid and other post viral conditions. Investment income of 11k was received compared to £8k last year. The charity spent £292k on its activities compared to £158k last year, including governance costs which rose to 36k compared to £29k in the previous year which reflects an increase in work done by staff. Governance costs are made up of the costs of staff working to manage the funds and generally make sure that the charity is run legally and effectively. No mark-up or excess or profit is charged on this. The value of long term investments fell slightly in year by £11k reflecting the changing valuation of the investments held at the end of the year; these are all in the Charities, Churches and Local Authorities (CCLA) in Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) Income Units. The CCLA COIF Income Units have a total historic cost of £137k and their market value at year end of £291k.Other investments and cash totalled £646k. Money recorded as debtors includes interest due on investments & after-date receipts included in the accounts due to timing. Money recorded as creditors include accruals towards the management and administration costs for the current year as well as a number of amounts owing for the purchases of the charity. The balances held at the end of the year were £845k which is a fall of £1k in the year. 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). 19 ## THE COMMITTEE **Gail Shadlock (Chair)** - Non-Executive Director, LCHS **Alan Pattison** - Clinical-Operational Estates Lead, LPFT **Donna Phillips** - Clinical Team Lead, LCHS **Jim Gallagher** - Co-opted Member **Jo Walker** - Head of Communications, LPFT **Michelle Tolan** - Head of Treasury Services, LPFT **Paula Duckworth** - Financial Accountant and Charity Manager, LCHS **Sam Wilde** - Director of Finance and Business Intelligence, LCHS **Vicky Rose** - Communications Officer, LCHS **Professor Di Bailey** - Non-Executive Director , LPFT **Sally Darley** - Volunteer Services manager , LCHS **Jacky Secker** - Volunteer Co-ordinator , LPFT The corporate Trustee of the charity is Lincolnshire Community Heath Service NHS Trust.

If you are able to include gift aid, that helps us to receive an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. ## **Leaving legacies in your will** Over the past year a number of people decided to leave a legacy to our charity. This has enabled us to make a significant difference to the lives of the patients and staff who use our services. Lincolnshire NHS Charity is always grateful to receive legacies and we are more than willing to spend the money as you would like it to be spent. It is helpful if people do not specify too precisely what the money should be used for. This is because the type of equipment used, the names of wards, units and services or even the treatment provided can change. This could cause problems in spending your legacy and may even mean that we cannot put it to the good use that you wanted. 21 ## **CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNT - LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES NHS TRUST 2022-23** ## **FUNDS HELD ON TRUST YEAR 1 APRIL 2022 TO 31 MARCH 2023** The accounts of the Funds Held on Trust by the Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust. ## **FOREWORD** These accounts have been prepared by the Trustees in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their acounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). ## **STATUTORY BACKGROUND** The NHS Trust is the corporate trustee of the funds held on trust under paragraph 16c of Schedule 2 of the NHS and Community Care Act 2006. ## **MAIN PURPOSE OF THE FUNDS HELD ON TRUST** The main purpose of the charitable funds held on trust is to apply income for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the services provided by the Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees: ●select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; ●make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ●state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; ●state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, ●prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities. The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. |By Order of the Corporate Trustee

LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE NHS TRUST 2022 - 2023** ## **Notes to the Accounts** ## **Accounting Policies** ## **1** ## **1.1 Accounting Convention** The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain investments, and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) ## **1.2 Incoming Resources** - a) All incoming resources, including debtors, are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met: - i) entitlement - control over the rights or other access to the economic benefit has passed to the charity. - probable - it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with - ii) the transaction or gift will flow to the charity. - measurement - when monetary value or amount can be measured reliably and - iii) the costs incurred for the transactions and the costs to complete the transaction can be measure reliably. This policy is in line with FRS102 requirements. ## b) Gifts in kind - i) Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Statement of Financial Activities only when distributed. - ii) Assets given for use by the funds (e.g. property for its own occupation) are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources when receivable. - iii) Gifts made in kind but on trust for conversion into cash and subsequent application by the funds are included in the accounting period in which the gift is sold. In all cases the amount at which gifts in kind are brought into account is either a reasonable estimate of their value to the funds or the amount actually realised. The basis of the valuation is disclosed in the annual report. - c) Intangible income Intangible income (eg the provision of free accommodation) is included in the accounts with an equivalent amount in outgoing resources, if there is a financial cost borne by another party. The value placed on such income is the financial cost of the third party providing the resources. ## d) Legacies Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the entitlement to the income passed to the charity, when it was more likely than not that the income would pass to the charity and it was reliably measured eg the sum could be reliably estimated. Page 4 **CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNT. LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE NHS TRUST 2022 - 2023** **Accounting Policies (continued)** ## **1.3 Resources expended** The funds held on trust accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure and liabilities are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party. This is when the is a present obligation as a result of a past event , that this payment of cash is required to settle that liability and the amount can be estimated reliably. ## a) Cost of generating funds The cost of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust. - b) Grants payable Grants payable are payments, made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the funds held on trust's charitable objectives to relieve those who are sick. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. This includes grants paid to NHS bodies. - c) Management and administrative costs These are accounted for on an accruals basis and include recharges of appropriate proportions of relevant costs from Lincolnshire Community Services NHS Trust. ## **1.4 Structure of funds** Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the Trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are classified funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 7. ## **1.5 Investment Fixed Assets** Investment fixed assets are shown at market value. - i Quoted stocks and shares are included in the balance sheet at mid-market price. - ii Income from investments is apportioned on the basis of the ratio of the fund balances to the total funds held. Page 5 **CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNT. LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE NHS TRUST 2022 - 202** ## **Accounting Policies (continued)** ## **1.6 Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses** All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value ## **1.7 Change in the Basis of Accounting** There has been no change in the basis of accounting during the period. ## **1.8 Prior Year Adjustments** There has been no change to the accounts of prior years. ## **1.9 Pooling Scheme** The Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust Charitable Funds does not operate an official pooling scheme that is to be authorised by The Charity Commission, however the collective funds of the Charity are pooled together for investment purposes, the majority of which rest with Common Investment Funds. ## **2.0 Cash Held at Bank & Investments** The charity defines short-term, highly liquid investments as cash at bank and in hand as including funds with a maturity of less than 3 months. Deposits classified as investments are placed for 12, 18 or 24 months depending upon the prevailing circumstances. Page 6 |**CHARITABLE TRU**|**ST ACCOUNT.
