ESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE CHARITY coM￿lTTEE Lincolnshire NHS Charity is delighted to present our annual report for 2023-24. We have seen much success and impact in the last 12 months, and share just some examples in this document. As ever, we have worked hard to carefully and creatively spend the money that so many of you have donated, in accordance with your wishes. Our main roles as a charity are to enhance the healthcare experience of patients, families and communities across Lincolnshire, and to enhance the health and wellbeing of our fantastic NHS staff whose commitment is, as ever, tremendous. We are very grateful to our donors, partners, colleagues and volunteers, who support our work every day. Without them, so much of what we do would not be possible. Looking forward, we have ambitious plans, having welcomed a new Charity Manager in January 2024 who will provide a tremendous boost to our small but amazing team. We will focus more on spending money raised, for the benefit of patients, families and staff, in reflection of donors, wishes, and will work more closely with United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity. We say 'enhance' because our funds provide the 'little extras that make a big difference., things over and above those that the NHS already provides to the people of Lincolnshire. Despite growing demand for our mental health, learning disability and community services, staff have, once again, raised significant funds, as have our supporters, donors and those kind enough to leave gifts in their wills. All of these allow funds to be put to good use in our services or in support of our staff. Our most sincere thanks go to all of those people. My personal thanks go to the Charity Committee members who, despite working full-time in the NHS, still find time to work with me, ensuring we operate in the best ways possible. The same thanks goes to our independent member, who brings a wealth of experience from roles in the NHS and other Government bodie5. Our charity team has also worked hard to bid for grants. One grant initiated an important study on staff wellbeing undertaken by an LCHS nurse and the University of Lincoln; another helped us pilot a Lon9 Covid clinic, while other grants funded staff wellbeing spaces in our mental health services, and enabled the charity rebrand. With best wishes, Committee Chair - Lincolnshire NHS Charity

wELCo￿E Lincolnshire NHS Charitls Annual Report 2023-24 has been produced to provide additional information to supplement our financial accounts and is submitted to the Charity Commission. It complies fully with the latest version of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). All charitable expenditure has been agreed within delegated limits set by the Charity's Corporate Trustee. We exist to support two of Lincolnshire's local trusts: Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT). LCHS operates community hospitals and related services which enable people to access great care close to home. LPFT supports people with mental health challenges and learnin9 disabilities to live well in their communities. Lincolnshire is one of the largest healthcare communities in England, covering an area of more than 2,300 square miles and with a population of over 750,000 people. The charity is funded by donations, often from patients who are grateful for the care provided by our two NHS trusts. These donations make a significant difference to the lives of our patients, their families, and NHS staff in Lincolnshire. Donors are able to tell us how they would like their gift to be spent, but we also welcome donations without specific requirements because this allows the charity and our Fund Managers to purposefully direct spendingi to precisely and responsively meet the needs of the people in our care and the services provided by LCHS and LPFr.

STRATEGIC AIMS Our vision Lincolnshire NHS Charity will enable local people to live well in their communities, accessing great care close to home, and will encourage positive wellbeing for NHS staff, by supporting LCHS and LPFr.

The committee administers the funds on behalf of the Trustee, meeting on a quarterly basis to discuss income and expenditure) progress updates, strategy plans and concerns. E￿powER staff to spend and the public to support with ease OPERATE Fund Managers, who are NHS staffi govern funds which support their service area and can authorise spending up to £5,000. Costs between this and £10,000 must be approved by a relevant member of the Trust's Executive Leadership Team or the Chief Executive. The Charity Committee is required to approve spending of £10,000 and over. in careful and appropriate but unbureaucratic ways

FUNDRAISING Every year our supporters, whether members of the public, NHS staff or local businesses, raise thousands of pounds for Lincolnshire NHS Charityp enabling us to continue providing the little extras that make a big difference. Patients and their families often thank the NHS for the care that they have received by making direct donations or leaving gifts in wills, conf ident that their generosity will directlyi Positively impact a service which has touched their life. When donating to us, our supporters know that their money will be used to make a significant difference to the people in the care of the NHS. Lincolnshire NHS Charity simply could not continue to help our patients, their families and our staff without the generosity of local people, businesses and our other supporters. Every single donated penny is spent eff icientlyp effectively and caref ullyp and we are hugely grateful for the kindness we receive on a daily basis. ,11

LONDON LAND￿ARKs HALF ￿ARATHON 2023 In early 2023, we were very grateful to have 11 NHS staff members from both LCHS and LpFf take part in London Landmarks Half Marathon. Taking on a serious distance and some truly wonderful sights in the capital, the race is a closed-road, central London run, and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and the City of Westminster. Every runner did a brilliant job, after a lot of training over a few months, and we are so grateful to them for taking part in order to raise vital funds to support the work of Lincolnshire NHS Charity, so that we can continue providing the little extras that make a big difference. Well done to all of our London Landmarks Half Marathon runners, who have also inspired more NHS staff to take part in the 2024 race! 4.+1 11188

NHS BIG TEA 2023 Every year, the NHS Big Tea event gives staff, our supporters, and the public an opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the NHS and look back on the long history of one of the most significant organisations in the country. On Friday 5 July 2023 our staff? patients, and the public celebrated this anniversary with Big Tea parties across the county, bringing people together to share in cakes and other treats - and, of course, tea. All the activity raised vital funds for Lincolnshire NHS Charityi which enable us to support our two brilliant NHS trusts. We were really proud to support our teams around the county to host their own tea parties and to visit a couple of the great things going on. Across Lincolnshire, the NHS Big Tea 2023 events offered a warm, wonderful social opportunity) bringing people together to celebrate an important part of our countrfs history. Thanks to the hard work of our colleagues and the generosity of local people, our latest Big Tea raised a fabulous £1,510 to support our work!

TOM801A Pr . ' LINCOLNSHIRE NHS CHARITY CHOSEN AS CHARITY OF THE YEAR by Springfields Outlet Shopping & Leisure to support Johnson Community Hospital in Spalding Johnson Community Hospital in Spalding has been very lucky to receive support from Springfields Outlet.

Thank you to Springf ields Outlet Shopping & Leisure for their kindness.

SPENDING Lincolnshire NHS Charity exists to enhance patient experience by providing the little extras that make a big difference - things like additional equipment, extra training or by improving physical spaces for service users. Our work also supports our patients, families, and our brilliant NHS colleagues. We are proud to share here some examples of how donations have improved patient experiences and staff wellbeing. Every penny is spent with care. The charity genuinely considers each purchase before it is made, and every item, activity or resource is proposed by staff who deeply understand and feel passionately about the service they provide. Thanks to the generosity of local people, including our patients and their families, and the kindness of local businesses and partners, we are regularly able to purchase things which make a difference to every person touched by the NHS. 10

CHARITY DEVELOp￿ENT GRANT Lincolnshire NHS Charity is excited to have launched its new brand, which also comes with a brand new website. Its bright, modern rebrand expresses our excitement for the future of the charity and directly reflects the impact made by every person who supports our vital work. The language of the rebrand focuses attention on what we call 'the little extras that make a big difference,. These are the things which add value and provide additional impact for our patients, their families, and our N HS colleagues, from staff wellbeing initiatives to intervention enhancements (like Skegness Hospital's therapy dogi Rammie), and from workplace refurbishments to specialist healthcare equipment. All these little extras, and many more, are only possible thanks to the generosity) creativity and commitment of our NHS colleagues? partners and the people of Lincolnshire who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the vital work of the two trusts we support every day. We are extremely proud of the rebrand and its messaging, of the work we do with and for LCHS and LPFf. Our great new website has been built for interest and accessibilityi and as a one-stop location for all the need-to-know information about Lincolnshire NHS Charity and how people can help us.

BRAN - THE NEW THERAPY DOG at Welland Ward in Spalding This is Bran, the newest member of the NHS team at Johnson Community Hospital in Spalding. He is a Burmese Mountain Dog, with a big smile and a friendly personality. He is loved by colleagues and patients alike and is making a huge difference for everyone. Bran visits Welland Ward on a regular basis to enhance the support for patients who are receiving expert palliative care from his committed medical colleagues. The care provided at Welland Ward is hugely important, offering physical and emotional support to people during a truly challenging time in their lives and to the families who are part of that experience, too. Bran continues to have a really pawsitive impact on the palliative care patients supported every day by Johnson Community Hospital, and on their families. This would not have been possible without public donations> just as every little extra we provide is only achievable thanks to the generosity of people who have been cared for, touched by) or employed in the NHS. Welcome to the team, Bran! il

ENRIcH￿ENT AT SCOTTER WARD Our colleagues on Scotter Ward at John Coupland Hospital in Gainsborough provide a range of important therapies and facilitate recovery. This can be a long process for some patients, and it is important that there are engaging? enjoyable and simple ways to help keep people busy. We were glad to help Scotter Ward purchase activity resources for staff and volunteers to use when supporting our patients. In order to decide the kinds of iterns that would best meet the needs of patients, one of our brilliant volunteers asked those patients, as well as nurses, health care assistants and physiotherapists, for their suggestions. For weeks to come, they all continued to share their ideas, which has enabled the spending on resources to develop organically and be responsive to needs and ideas. The resources have been great for patients and have enabled volunteers to introduce and deliver engagement activities confidently. Purchasing them would not have been possible without the generosity of our wonderful donors. Qrq?Py eyes QOWNI rellsh. Hobble• BINQO 5$

JOURNALS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE When someone is engaged in palliative care, every person connected to them is impacted by significant emotional challenges. For young people, this can be particularly difficult, especially if the person receiving care is a parent or guardian. Our team of palliative care nurses recognised this specific challenge, and that there are minimal resources available to address it. They used some of their fund to purchase journals for young people whose family member is receiving palliative care, to encourage them to take time to recognise and record their feelings and the impact of their difficult family circumstances on all areas of their life. Reflections in these journals have been shared with other family members, friends, and professionals like school pastoral teams, to encourage open conversations and enable additional support to be offered where necessary.

ERRY LITTLE cHRIST￿As Being in hospital over the Christmas period is not something any of us would like to do, when we could be having a fun and relaxing time in our homes, surrounded by friends and family. Unfortunately? this is sometimes unavoidable. The NHS is proud to provide care and support all dayy every dayi which also means that when patients are in hospital during the festive period, so are many of our hard-working, committed colleagues. Thanks to donations, we have been able to respond to this for patients, families and staff at a number of sites. I n 2023) patients staying with us over Christmas received small gifts to enhance their experience, letting them know we were thinking of them, and bringing a little Christmas cheer right to their hospital bed. Staff were also thanked for missing out on time with friends and family, through personalised gifts and festive food and drink that enabled them to spend some festive social time with their colleagues - all of this gave a wonderful boost to staff morale. Of course, no Christmas period would be complete without a visit from Santa Claus, who came all the way from the North Pole to travel around hospital wards visiting patients, their families and NHS colleagues!

TAKING CARE OF YOUR ￿ONEy The Trustee has a 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. 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 is made to meet the Charitls day-to-day needs. Various fixed-term and notice accounts deposits have been made to maximise the amount of interest earned to benefit the Charityi whilst ensuring that suff icient money is 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 needs. Long-term investments are made with the Charities, Churches and Local Authorities (CCLA) Investment Management Limited in Charities Official and Investment Fund (COIF) Income Units. These are higher-risk because the value of the investment is not guaranteed but, historically, they have provided a good return with the wide spread of pooled investment limiting risk. More information is available in the Charity's Investment Policy. The Trust's Charity Committee is responsible for updating the policy - a copy can be obtained upon request. The charity operates in line with the Standing Financial Instructions of the Trustee (LCHS). Reserves Policy Funds donated or earned from investments are made available to fund managers to spend. The projects undertaken by the Charity are one-off purchases and not long-term projects with ongoing costs or liabilities, so the Charity does not hold reserves. If, in the unlikely circumstances that all funds were fully spent, activities would naturally cease. Due to risk management requirements under 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 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. 16

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW During this year, Lincolnshire NHS Charity received £109,000 in donations, a f igure significantly higher than last yearfs total of £42,000. Legacies received totalled £40,000 ~ this figure was £24,000 in the previous year. Multiple grants were received from NHS Charities Together totalling £195,000 and these are largely in the process of being spent: f irstly, on a two-year project working with NHS staff who are informal carers, and supporting people suffering from energy-limiting conditions. Secondlyp such grants are funding a project to improve staff wellbeing spaces across LCHS and LPFT sites. Investment income of £26,000 was received, compared to £11,000 last year. This year, the Charity spent £305,000 on its activities, compared to £292,000 last year, including governance costs which rose to £54,000 compared to £36,000 previously. This reflects increased operational work undertaken by the Charity team. Governance costs are made up of the costs of staff working to manage funds and generally make sure that the Charity is run legally and effectively. No mark-up, excess or profit is charged on these costs. The value of long-term investments rose by £26,000 in-year, reflecting the changing valuation of investments held at the end of the year. These are in the Charities, Churches & Local Authorities (CCLA) in Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) Income Units. The CCLA COIF Income Units have a total historic cost of £137,000 and their market value at year end is £318k. Other investments and cash on deposit totalled £698,000. Money recorded as debtors includes interest due on investments and after-date receipts included in the accounts due to timing. Money recorded as creditors includes accruals towards management and administration costs and amounts owing for Charity purchases. Balances held at the end of the year were £937,000 - a rise of £92,000 in the year- this is grant income passing through. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 17

CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNT - LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES NHS TRUST 2023-24

Statement of Trustee's responsibilities in respect of the Trustee's annual report and the financial statements Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee's Annual Report and the financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period.

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

●selects suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

●makes judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

●statse whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

●states whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,

●prepares the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.

The trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. 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 trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under the Charities Act, 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 trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

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 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102)

1.2 Incoming Resources

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.

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.

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 2023 - 2024

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.

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.

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 trustee 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.

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 2023 - 2024

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 (or date of purchase if later).

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 other than that described in note 2.

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.

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 more than 3 months depending upon the prevailing circumstances.

The transfer represents fund mergers within the charity as part of a fund rationalisation project. Whilst all unrestricted monies received from donors are free from any formal restrictions as to their use, the Trustee will try to honour the sentiments in which the monies were given. In this respect, where some preference has been indicated by donors, these monies will be held in a specific designated fund and used for the purpose indicated.
