Foreword

Welcome to our 2024-25 Annual Report and Accounts for Your Hearts and Minds, the new working name for the Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (Charitable Fund).

This document records the activities and final and audited Financial Accounts for the financial year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Your Hearts and Minds is a truly local charity, supporting people living in Rotherham, Doncaster and North Lincolnshire. We raise funds to support activities, projects, education and research which go above and beyond normal NHS funding to improve the care and experience of patients.

We are extremely grateful for the continued support from individuals, groups and local companies who help us with our fundraising efforts. From attending coffee mornings, to skydiving out of a plane, choosing us as their charity of the year, or leaving a legacy in their will, they demonstrate an overwhelming desire to ‘give something back’ for the care we provide and to the communities we serve, and we send our thanks to everyone who has made this year so successful.

Thanks to their generosity, the charity’s funds support a range of charitable and health related activities and are used to support and enhance the experiences of our patients, their carers and our staff.

Our St John’s Hospice in Doncaster celebrated its 32nd anniversary this year, and we are proud of millions of pounds, which have been donated over the years.

The most significant funding awarded from the charity this year was £763k to St John’s Hospice for the provision of a range of staff including counsellors, nurses and healthcare support workers.

Donations which are not used immediately are invested in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines ensuring appropriate financial return is achieved. The performance of the investment is reviewed quarterly at the Charitable Funds Meeting and on a yearly basis with the investment management company to ensure we protect the value of the portfolio until such time as they are needed to be spent.

4

With the relaunch of Your Hearts and Minds charity in October 2024, we set out ambitious plans to increase our income generation, with the aim to increase charitable spending across all of the services we provide to improve the experience, health and wellbeing of patients, staff, carers and the wider community, whilst ensuring the future sustainability and growth of the charity.

We have also launched our first ever Community Grants Scheme, working with Voluntary Action in Doncaster, Rotherham and North Lincolnshire to invite bids from local voluntary, community and social enterprises for grants worth between £1k and £3k, which deliver partnership working with teams in RDaSH to benefit patients and demonstrate a positive impact on our local communities. We will award £77k from our fund to support this scheme.

As Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee, I offer my sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed so generously in time, energy and money to support the Charitable Fund.

Pauline Vickers

Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee and Non-Executive Director of Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust

The launch of Your Hearts and Minds Charity

It has been an exciting year for our relaunched charity Your Hearts and Minds. We have changed our vision and mission and are now more focused on supporting local communities, our patients and our colleagues.

We believe that it is vital to help our children and young people have a Your Hearts good start in life and are working with local voluntary organisations to and Minds support a range of support across mental health, physical health and neurodiversity. Equally empowering people to be their best self is at the heart of our charity, whether that be foot health care for the homeless, hydrotherapy for people with a learning disability or providing support for people with dementia. Of course, our commitment to ensuring people have a good death continues with the charity’s focus on end of life care and St John’s Hospice. Along side that we have set out ambitious plans for the charity to raise funds for a state of the art Education, Learning and Simulation Centre and to advance our research capability.

This year we have engaged with our communities and identified some exciting local projects to work together on with voluntary community sector organisations. Working closely with communities means that our charitable funds get right to the heart of what communities need. We want to continue to work with more communities and local organisations in the coming year.

We also want to work alongside some of our local business and corporations as partners to our charity. Local businesses who feel that their values align with the charity’s can support us with their time and fundraising activities. In the coming year we will be inviting local businesses and corporations to join our Development Assembly to influence and support our charity work.

This annual report showcases many of the fundraising activities that so many kind and generous people have undertaken and some of the great projects we have invested in. We hope you enjoy reading about it.

Our new name and branding

We created three new names and branding ideas: RDaSH Better Lives; Your Hearts and Minds and Our RDaSH Charity. We wanted as many people as possible to have their say in the new name, so we shared these ideas with our staff, patients, partners and the wider community, and invited them to vote for their favourite in an online survey.

Your Hearts and Minds was the clear favourite with 48% of the votes. This now gives the charity a separate identity from the RDaSH brand, which can be easily recognised.

Our Five Fundraising Priorities and Key Missions

Our five fundraising priorities are separate income streams, or ‘funding pots’ to fund activities and projects that will bring the most benefit to the people who need our support:

A Good Start (Children and Young People)

We provide a wide range of services for children and young people to support their physical, mental and emotional health across North Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire.

6

We want to support children, young people and families to have the best possible start in life. This means helping them to be more prepared to start school, working to educate and improve their nutrition, and encouraging them to interact with our services in new, more innovative ways. We’re focusing on the following areas to raise and spend funds:

A Good Start

• Virtual Reality initiatives for schools (£200k) • Family Therapies support for one full year • Autism Support for one full year • School Nursing initiatives

Our Best Self (Mental wellbeing of patients and staff

Our best self is all about supporting people living with physical or mental illness, and addiction or with a learning disability: helping us to deliver more specialist care, improving the environments where we deliver that care and creating new spaces that best meet their needs. It’s also about looking after the welfare and wellbeing of our staff. We know that staff who feel supported and well cared for, deliver high quality care to our patients:

Our Best • Hydrotherapy pool (£250k) • Specialist therapies e.g. Veterans’ Team Self • Neurodiversity Centre • Rewarding our staff • Mental Health A&E • Dementia support

RDaSH Research

Research not only benefits our patients and the wider community, it helps our organisation attract the best clinicians to work for us. Research funding through our charity will kickstart new fellowships, and in time senior lecturer and professorial units, helping us to attract the best talent locally. We are also committed to working with our communities on community-led research:

Learning and Development

We have ambitious plans to raise funds to build and develop an education and learning centre, which could include state-of-the-art education methods such as simulations suites and training on new technology such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and dementia virtual experience. As well as being a huge asset for our organisation, we aim to share the facility and resource with others such as community organisations who will work with us in delivering care and support to our patients. Patients and carers will play a key role in setting up our education and learning centre. In addition, we want it to support local groups and forums for those with lived experience:

Learning & • Health and Medical Education Centre, with Simulation Suite (£1m) build 2027 Development

A Good Death

We believe that everyone deserves the best possible end of life care and support. End of life care is not only about the patient, it’s also about the support we give to their loved ones. From diagnosis, through to bereavement, our services touch the lives of local people with life limiting conditions, both within our inpatient settings, and in the wider community.

Our St John’s Hospice in Doncaster has been providing care for over 30 years and we are proud of millions of pounds, which have been donated over the years. We need to raise £500,000 each year over and above the NHS contribution to care in order for us to continue to provide our high-quality specialist care and support service.

A Good • Continue with current fundraising target of £500k in line with spending Death commitments

Your Hearts and Minds Community Grants 2025

The NHS is celebrating its 77th birthday in 2025. To mark these celebrations Your Hearts and Minds charity launched its Community Grants Programme on Monday 6 January, with a total of £77,000 of funding available.

As well as delivering our five key fundraising missions, we want Your Hearts and Minds to work closely with other local charities within our communities. The Community Grants were an exciting new scheme to encourage collaboration between RDaSH, Your Hearts and Minds and local Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) to deliver projects that make a real difference to those most in need, or who may not be able to benefit from mainstream support.

A simple, easy to follow application process invited bids against the community grants fund for up to 30 grants valued between £1,000 and £3,000, which met the following criteria:

Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises (VCSE) were required to have existed for more than 18 months and be able to identfly either audited accounts or charitable registration.

We were delighted with the response, with more than 77 bids valued at £168k submitted in total and each and every one was worthy of our funding - but we had to keep within our agreed budget.

The 30 successful bids were selected by a joint panel comprising non-executive and executive directors of the Charitable Funds Committee, working alongside a Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) representative from each of the three places, the general manager of Flourish and a patient representative, and we are excited to be working in partnership with so many local worthy causes and seeing their hopes turn into reality.

Loneliness is strongly linked to poor mental and physical health and increases the likelihood of GP visits and reliance on medication. By creating spaces for connection and joy, we improve wellbeing and help people stay well — which reduces demand on already stretched health services.” Making Space

Some people are not so lucky and I see what being able to socialise means to others., I have enjoyed meeting people with different outlooks, so yes it is invaluable”. S62

“The Hearts and Minds community Grants will allow people to access a tailored Workshop designed to support them to build strategies and confidence completing tasks required for managing everyday life. The course will run in collaboration with Rush house and other voluntary sector organisations to provide participants with a range of hands-on experience and resources. We are hoping the workshops will support a minimum of 18-20 participants to gain better life skills.

“Receiving our Your Hearts and Minds Community Grant feels like our school has won the lottery, we can’t thank your charity enough for the opportunity that has been given to us. With this grant we are currently purchasing special needs equipment to support our neurodivergent children in our school. Many neurodivergent children are often unseen and don’t receive the support they need in their early years which has a significant impact on their mental and physical wellbeing in their later years. With this grant we will be able to support our neurodivergent children, children with learning disabilities and sensory processing difficulties by helping them feel safe with a sense of belonging in our classrooms. It’s such a wonderful opportunity to make this huge difference in our school so much appreciation from all of us at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School.” Lady of Mount Carmel School

“The funding from Your Hearts and Minds is enabling us to meet the increasing need for the voluntary car service, helping us to support people in North Lincolnshire who can’t access public transport to get to hospital and health appointments as well as visit friends and family, go shopping and simply get out of the house. You are also funding the support for our fabulous volunteer drivers. It’s not just about the money though, you have taken the time to really understand our service and how it helps people living in North Lincolnshire to stay independent and active, and that means a lot to us.” Humber & Wolds Rural Action

“We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation we received thank you for believing in our work and the strength of this community. Your support is already making a meaningful difference.

Fundraising Highlights 2024/25

Multiple sclerosis patients supported at Below the Belt event An event to encourage people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) to be more open about their experiences was held in Doncaster.

The event, which was attended by more than 70 people, was held at Mount Pleasant Hotel on 15 October and funded by Your Hearts and Minds in partnership with the MS Society.

Charity-funded sensory boxes support young people with special educational needs

A donation of just £200 to our charity can help make a real difference to children and young people from our neurodiverse and intellectual disability communities.

Our children and young people’s mental health services (CAMHS) in North Lincolnshire, Rotherham and Doncaster have used Your Hearts and Minds charitable funds to create yy sensory boxes which are accessible to children and young people aged five and over who are accessing a CAMHS appointment at Kimberworth Place in Rotherham, the Crystal Building in Doncaster and St Nicholas House in Scunthorpe.

Charity funding enables gifts of support at end of life

St John’s Hospice is using charitable funds, generated by donations from the public, to develop its “comfort pack” to support all patients and families as they are nearing end of life.

It comes in a branded cotton tote bag, with the telephone number for Doncaster’s single point of contact should they need advice as things change. Also included are mouth gel, ultra mild toothpaste a toothbrush and mouth swabs, along with an information leaflet all about good mouth care.

There’s also personal care wipes and shampoo cap for patients who may be bedbound or finding it difficult to wash their hair.

We’ve added a little note pad and pen for people to make notes or write down their thoughts. They may wish to think about making memories with their loved ones, so we’ve provided a handy leaflet to encourage them to start thinking about this.

There’s also an end-of-life booklet, which provides practical advice and reference to many aspects of care, including coping with the news, planning ahead, financial help, care as things change and support for carers, which will also assist with making plans.

All equipment in the boxes can be easily cleaned between use, and they are checked and replaced when they become worn or removed. Ear defenders are also available for young people who are particularly distressed, and as these are single-use, the young person is able to keep these to take home with them.

They aim to support any child or young person who may require sensory based items, or equipment to help them in reducing anxiety, sensory, emotional distress, focus or distraction whilst they wait for their appointment.

Future Plans 2025/26

We believe that everyone has the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small. Whether you have a passion for philanthropy and the financial resources to donate, or you wish to get involved with our own fundraising and activities, your support is essential to us.

There are countless ways to contribute to our cause, including corporate and community partnerships and in-kind donations, as well as a whole range of volunteering opportunities.

We’ve created a ‘shopping list’ of funding targets associated with our key priorities to show how your donations can directly support fundraising over the coming years, which will feature heavily on our communication channels and assist our Development Assembly and charity ambassadors in the future.

Hydrotherapy Pool

We’re excited that our first Your Hearts and Minds major capital fundraising campaign will be for a new hydrotherapy pool in our Learning Disabilities Services.

Our Diamond Activity and Therapeutic Centre in Doncaster provides care and support to adults with a diagnosis of learning disabilities, with associated physical disabilities, communicative disorders, neurological barriers and/or health needs.

The centre provides a variety of sensory and physical activities and therapies for clients and is open Monday to Friday.

We require £250k to replace our existing pool, which was installed in 1996, with a brand-new modern version.

Due to space limitations, only one member of staff is able to safely support a client in the water at any one time in the existing pool, this restricts the number of clients who can use the pool and limits the variety of therapeutic exercises that can be offered.

16

Currently the access steps are situated away from the pool liner steps, which increases risk to safety of mobile clients and staff.

A new pool will offer more space, enabling multiple staff to work with each client simultaneously, increasing the number of clients who can access the pool and receive therapeutic support.

Enhancing client safety (more staff in the water) and the variety of physical therapies we can offer. This will enable a more enriched sensory environment, more dynamic therapy sessions, better client engagement, leading to improved outcomes in physical mobility, strength and sensory stimulation for clients.

Hydrotherapy or water therapy involves the use of water for pain relief and treatment. It is different from swimming as it involves performing special exercises in a warm-water pool, and different from water aerobics as it focuses on controlled movements and muscle relaxation.

It can be a highly effective form of therapeutic exercise for people with muscle-wasting conditions. Studies suggest that when

The exisiting hydrotherapy pool

patients with muscle-wasting conditions receive physiotherapy in association with hydrotherapy, they achieve measurable improvement in the quality of daily living.

Support from our local community will be welcomed in terms of fundraising, however, we will look to secure funding through philanthropic grant making organisations and support from our Development Assembly to raise sufficient major funding to raise the funds for this project.

“X is wheelchair bound, one of her greatest pleasures is being able to move freely as she wishes, this is obtainable when she is fully supported by water in the pool. Due to health issues me and her dad are no longer able to take her to a pool ourselves.”

“Please don;t underestimate the benefits of this therapy resource, for X it fts the trinity of ‘mind, body and soul’. After a session X returns to us content, relaxed and calm. He’s an absoloute delight to be around and engage with.”

From funding innovative training and research, and raising money to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, to improving the experience of patients and families in our care, we have ambitious plans for the future, which means that now, more than ever, your support is needed.

In line with our Fundraising Plan, which was approved by the Charitable Funds Committee in June 2024, there are a variety of ways for donors to support our charity:

Major Donor Giving

To fund some of our main priorities we need to secure some significant donations. We’ve developed a major donor strategy to attract major donors and high net worth individuals. In order to develop our approach we have secured external expertise and are working with an adviser with a significant experience in this area, Michael Mogan.

The work commenced at the end of January 2025 and will:

. RDaSF nurturing the power in our communities

17

We have identified potential major donors, organisations and funds that we can apply for grants from, as well as individuals and sponsors.

To secure their support, we aim to establish a Your Hearts and Minds Development Assembly. Advocacy is crucial in fundraising, especially with high net worth individuals. Inspired assembly members can effectively engage these funders, opening new doors to new opportunities and resources. Recruitment will require a strategic and personal approach, and we are currently in the early stages of setting up our Devepment Assembly.

We appreciate that it will take some time to develop these relationships and activities. However, we are looking to submit bids for grants with key philanthropic organisations in the medium term to raise funds for our key missions when we are ready to submit a compelling case.

Legacy Giving

Leaving a gift in your will is a valuable way to support our charitable activities.

Your will is an entirely private matter between you and your solicitor. However, after providing for your loved ones, you may wish to leave a gift to our charity, even the smallest gift will help us to make a difference.

Leaving a gift is easy and anyone can do it. Whether it’s a sum of money, a specific item, or a share of your property, your gift will help us to continue supporting our local community for generations to come.

Legacy giving has formed a substantial income stream for the Hospice.Legacy fundraising is extremely important in assuring future hospice fundraising income and we will continue to target 50% for this income stream. For the overall charity we will aim to build this over time to 30% of overall income.

We’ve put together a handy guide on making a will, which is available on our website. We also trialled a ‘Make a Will Campaign’ with local solicitor Switalskis in May 2024, where they offered a free will writing service with a suggested donation to our charity, and this is something we would like to expand further in the coming months with a wider group of solicitors across our localities.

Corporate Fundraising

Partnerships with local businesses can bring many benefits. They provide much-needed funds and sponsorship, expertise, gifts in kind and access to volunteers for our charity.

It also benefits the company with positive PR, demonstrates good corporate responsibility, and offers tax benefits, as well as opportunities to develop relationships with potential major donors of the future.

We were delighted to work with a team of colleagues from Nationwide in 2024, who wanted to volunteer their time to support us. In May 2024 they took part in a bucket collection on our behalf at Asda, then helped us set up our Light up a Life event in December, travelling from Doncaster, Rotherham, Blackpool, Bradford, Howden, Lincoln, Leeds, Manchester and even Dundee.

In early 2025 they invited us to submit a bid for one of their colleague grants and we are delighted to reveal we have been successful in securing a £10k grant, which will be used to upgrade our hospice cafe in the next financial year.

We are also very grateful to the team from My Pension Expert in Doncaster for choosing us as their charity of the year for the second year in a row. In 2024 they raised a grand total of £5,083.70 from bake-offs, marathons, collection tins and festive jumpers.

Community Fundraising

Many of our supporters like to fundraise their own way, and our Fundraising Team are always on hand to provide support and promotion of their activities.

We have introduced some charity-run events and activities throughout the year for people to sign up for and attend , so, whether it’s taking part in one of our organised events and activities or fundraising your own way, every penny you raise and donate to our charity really does make a difference!

We appreciate the support of everyone who decides to fundraise for us, and our Fundraising Team are here to provide you with all the tips, tricks and equipment you need to make your fundraising a success.

Our coffee mornings at the St John’s Information Centre offer an opportunity for the local community to come together to enjoy home-baked treats and hot drinks, along with a variety of stalls, raffles and tombolas. We run two major raffles each year at the Hospice, which raised £5.9k,along with hampers, which are sold by local businesses and RDaSH colleagues.

We entered a team in the Great North Run in September 2024, raising over £7k.

We took part in the first collective of NHS Charities with NHS Charities Together, which offered a discounted race entry, along with access to training support and a marquee for NHS charity runners on the day, offering refreshments, massage therapy and stewardship support, which was welcomed by our supporters.

We already have 12 runners booked for 2025, with some running for a second time this year, along with staff members who are fundraising for their services in line with our fundraising priorities.

19

[We work with local community groups such as the ] Rotary Club and Lions to secure community grant funding where applicable.

In 2024, we were able to complete a major capital project in the hospice thanks to grant funding. We were awarded £22.9k from five South Yorkshire Lions clubs, match funded by Lions Clubs International Foundation in the USA, which funded 12 brand new rise and recliner chairs, a state-of-the-art bath hoist and three sensor mat kits, which all support patient comfort and safety. The new electric hoist complemented funds spent by the charitable fund on refurbishing the hospice bathroom and means more of our patients are able to enjoy a relaxing spa bath.

We have worked on developing relationships with local schools. Around 800 students from Sir Thomas Wharton Academy in years 7 to 10 took part in a writing challenge in their Summer Term.

They created over 40 stories about St John’s Hospice mascot ‘John the Bear’ who went on a whole host of adventures thanks to their creative talents. The winning story received a prize and has been recreated within the hospice for young visitors to enjoy. There are also plans to collate and publish more of the stories into a book to raise funds for the charity.

Meanwhile, more than 300 pupils from Rosedale Primary School in Scawsby raised £1,020 in their Christmas Jumper Dash around their playground for our charity and we hope this will be the beginning of a new seasonal tradition for local schools to get involved. They also helped us draw the winning numbers in our Christmas Raffle while we were there.

In Memory Fundraising

In Memory Fundraising offers an opportunity to donate a financial gift in memory of a loved one, or a funeral collection. The experience of our care has a direct impact on a decision to donate a gift in memory. It has traditionally been another key source of income for hospice fundraising.

We introduced our first Light up a Life event in 2023, and our second event in December 2024. The service is open to anyone who has lost someone, not just those people whose loved one was cared for by the Hospice. We held our service in the grounds of St John’s Information Centre, which included carols, musical performances and readings.

20

Everyone who donates to sponsor a light receives a Light up a Life tree decoration, on which to write their personal dedication, which is hung on our tree of lights during the service, along with one to hang on their tree at home.

We had over 100 dedications in 2024, and are already planning our event for December 2025 at a larger venue to accommodate our growing number of supporters.

Looking Forward

2024/25 has been an exciting year and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Your Hearts and Minds by raising funds, with their time and donations.

We couldn’t do all of the great work showcased in this report without you. Our funds are spent to make sure that the lives of our people in our communities are better. Your ongoing support is vital to continue this.

In 2025/26 we are aiming big to raise £1m for the first time, to help us support the communities that we work in. We are looking to work in partnership with local businesses and local business leaders who want to support our charity and help us make a big difference to the lives of local people in Rotherham, Doncaster and North Lincolnshire.

We know that many people and organisations want to give something back to their local communities and prefer to support organisations that they know will benefit local people, which is exactly what Your Hearts and Minds is all about. We will also seek funding from national and local grant funding organisations who support our charity’s missions.

Our three big fundraising priorities for 25/26 are:

You can help us reach this big ambition by raising funds on our behalf, providing corporate support, becoming a major donor, leaving funds to our charity in our will or simply jumping out of a plane as some of our braver fundraisers are doing in June 2025! However you choose to do it, we hope you are ready to go on this journey with us!

Objectives and Activities

The Charitable Fund’s governing document, the Declaration of Trust, incorporates the object or purpose of the Charitable Fund which is that:

“The Trustee shall hold the trust fund upon trust 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 National Health Service.”

The Charitable Funds Committee takes account of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in setting or reviewing the guidelines for fund advisers who are authorised to spend charitable funds.

The Charity Commission has a set of objectives for the Charitable Funds Committee. The Charitable Funds Committee works on specific activities to measure progress against these objectives so that we can more clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our work. These objectives were agreed by the main Board and are shown below:

Activities

The main activities of the Charitable Fund are to benefit patients, carers, and staff within RDaSH and to support RDaSH services by enhancing and improving the environment for patients, carers, and staff. This is included in the money raised and projects supported in 2024/25.

24

RDaSH, the Corporate Trustee, presents the Charitable Fund Annual Report, together with the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The Charity’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared by the Corporate Trustee in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019 and the Charities (Accounts & Reports) Regulations 2008.

Structure, Governance and Management

RDaSH Board of Directors devolved responsibility for the ongoing management of the funds to the Charitable Funds Committee, which administers the funds on behalf of RDaSH. When money is given to the Charitable Funds, if it is given with a specific desire by the donor to be used in a certain way, or to be used in a specific area, it is a ‘restricted’ fund i.e., it can only be spent for the declared purpose.

If the money is given without any specific requirements, it is an ‘unrestricted’ fund i.e. it can be used anywhere by the committee as long as it satisfies our rules as described by NHS Guidelines. The Charitable Fund’s unrestricted fund was established using the Charity Commission’s model declaration of a trust for an NHS charity.

RDaSH (the Corporate Trustee) fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objects for each fund. By designating funds, RDaSH respects the wishes of our generous donors to benefit patient care and advance the good health and welfare of patients, carers and staff.

The charitable funds available for spending are generally allocated in accordance with RDaSH operational management structures. Each allocation is managed by use of a ‘designated fund’ (unrestricted funds that have no limitations or stipulations placed on them by external agencies or donors can be internally restricted for a specific purpose) within the ‘general unrestricted fund’ (monies to be used for any purpose).

There are six funds within the Charitable Fund which are restricted; these are for the benefit of: St John’s Hospice; Our Best Self – Frailty; RDaSH Research – Frailty; Education and Learning – Frailty; Forest Gate and NHS Charities. Last year, it was reported that there were four restricted funds, which were St John’s Hospice, Doncaster Frailty Pathway, Forest Gate & NHS Charities. Three of these remain unchanged, The Doncaster Frailty Pathway restricted fund has been re-aligned into the new fundraising priorities, and the fund has been split into the three reported Frailty funds, sitting within the new fundraising priorities.

By allocating these funds RDaSH respects the wishes of our generous donors to benefit patient care and advance the good health and welfare of patients, carers and staff in a specific way. The Committee is required to:

27

The Charitable Funds Committee met formally four times in 2024/25. The members are shown below. The Charitable Funds Manager attends the meetings and supports the Committee. Investment brokers and other relevant advisors are invited to attend as required.

Non-executive members of the RDaSH Board are appointed or re-appointed by the Governors of the Trust and Executive members of the Board are subject to recruitment by the NHS Foundation Trust Board. Members of both the Trust Board and the Charitable Funds Committee are not individual trustees under charity law but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee.

Under a scheme of delegated authority approved by the Corporate Trustee, the Committee must approve any expenditure over £10,000. Applications below that limit must have the approval of the Executive Director of Finance and Estates.

The Executive Director of Finance and Estates acts as principal officer overseeing the financial management and accounting for the Charitable Fund during the year and reports on the activities of the fund at the monthly meeting of the RDaSH Board members.

The Accounting records and day-to-day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Charitable Funds Manager and Financial Accounts department of RDaSH located at Tickhill Road Site, Balby, Doncaster DN4 8QN.

The induction and training of the Charitable Funds Committee is conducted via on-the-job training and via questions to the Charitable Funds Manager. The HFMA publication ‘NHS Charitable Funds: a Practical Guide’ is also available for information and relevant Charity Commission links are also forwarded for information. Future plans include providing access to the HFMA e-learning package for Charitable Funds.

No staff are paid directly by Charitable Funds. Any staff costs are paid by the Charitable Fund via a recharge to the RDaSH.

Charitable Funds Committee

The members of the Charitable Funds Committee are also members of RDaSH as follows:

28

Risk Management

The Charitable Funds Committee reviews the performance of the fund on a quarterly, year to date and annual basis. Items reported to the Committee include the value of the investments compared with the previous quarter; the balance of cash reserves held throughout the year, the amount of income and expenditure for the quarter and future spending plans. Any potential risks arising from the report are highlighted in the meeting and discussed. The Committee maintains a risk register which is reviewed as required, any concerns are reported to RDaSH Board.

Key risks were identified as:

After each meeting of the Charitable Funds Committee, the Chair presents a report to the RDaSH Board of Directors to update it on the most recent work of the Committee providing assurances and escalating matters for further discussion as necessary.

29

Grant Making Policy

Applications may be made for items which the NHS would not normally fund, and these are classified as charitable activities and must be in line with the objectives of the Charitable Funds.

Applications from the designated funds for items which the NHS would normally fund but is unable to do so due to funds not being available are classified as a support cost to Charitable Funds. They are approved according to the procedure identified above.

During 2024/25 the available funds for the charity were restructured in line with the 5 new missions of the charity: A Good Start, Our Best Self, Research, Learning and Development and Good Death. Any donations previously received or new donations with a designated purpose stipulated by the donor are allocated to the appropriate mission with applications for spend against them monitored. The charity no longer has a General Fund.

Grants may also be approved by the committee for specialist charities and patient groups which support the work undertaken by RDaSH. During 2024/25 the Trust awarded £77,000 of charitable funds to 30 local community group and charities, ranging from £1000 to £3000 per organisation. The process involved an application and selection process made by a panel of Trustees, including the Director of Finance and Estates and the Trust Chief Executive, a patient and local Voluntary Action Organisations. All of the successful applications had to align with an RDaSH service and benefit RDaSH patients.

Reserves and Liquidity

The Charitable Fund has established a Reserves Policy with the intention of always being able to fund any committed spend whilst considering changes in investment markets.

Investments

The Investment policy criteria aims are:

Investment Liquidity

The investments held by the Charitable Funds are in a portfolio that can quickly be turned into cash and are therefore liquid in nature. Trustees will maintain an investment of 10% in the fund to allow for price differences in the sale of investments when funds are requested.

Reserves

At 31 March 2025 the Charitable Funds currently has total funds of £1,817,000. All funds are held within restricted or designated fund pots, aligned with the fundraising priorities. Therefore there are no reserves within general funds.The Charitable Fund will limit the level of commitments to 90% of the value of the fund, to allow for fluctuations in the price of its investments.

Any balance in excess of the commitments will therefore be transferred over to a recognised Investment Manager to increase the existing portfolio. Cash not needed for immediate use is invested by Investec Wealth and Investment Ltd on behalf of the Charitable Fund. Balances are reported to the committee on a quarterly basis and are reviewed in line with current spending plans and known commitments.

30

The Reserves and Liquidity policy is reviewed annually by RDaSH to identify any actions required to bring the amount of reserves it holds into line with the level of reserves identified by the trustees as appropriate given plans for the future activities of the charity.

The total cash available as of 31 March 2025 was £430,727. The reserves policy states that this liquid cash balance should cover at least a year’s net forward commitments. The recognised forward commitments, as set out in note 8, are: Independent Examination Fees £2,472 Grants awarded, not yet paid £75,225 Payments to RDaSH £72,382.

Going Concern

Each year the Trustee makes an assessment of the Charitable Funds ability to continue as a going concern. RDaSH has a reasonable expectation, that the services provided by the Charitable Funds will continue to be provided for the foreseeable future. This has been considered with reference to a cash flow projection for future spends. This meets with the reserves and liquidity policy, and therefore RDaSH considers that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements.

There is a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Funds has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

Restricted funds are those which must be used for a specific purpose as set out by the donor, or by the terms of a public appeal, or are subject to a restriction on the expenditure of capital.

1.3 Total Income

All total income is recognised once the Charitable Fund has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of them can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants received from government and public bodies which are attributable to charitable funds (ie. for a charitable purpose) are identified as charitable.

Grants that are received from non-public bodies for a charitable purpose are treated as charitable fund donations, and therefore should be identified as such.

1.4 Income from legacies

Legacies are accounted for as income either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probably certain. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will probably be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.

Notes to the Accounts

1.5 Expenditure

The Charitable Fund's accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept, and expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred.

i) Grants payable

Grant payments are only made to related or third party NHS bodies and non-NHS third parties in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by RDaSH and the conditions for their payment have been met, or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.

ii) Governance & Support costs

Governance & Support costs comprise all costs incurred in the governance of the Charitable Fund. These include external examination fees, recharges of appropriate proportions of salaries and internal audit fees from RDaSH, where applicable. The Charitable Fund Committee agree and ensure that the governance & support costs comply with the policy for charging administration and support costs.

iii) Costs of raising funds

The costs of generating funds, are those costs solely attributable to investment management, and represent the brokerage charges and investment management fees incurred.

1.6 Irrecoverable VAT

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

1.7 Transfer of funds

Funds may be transferred for administrative purposes but they are kept for the purpose for which the donation was given.

1.8 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at market value as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The Charitable Fund is restricted from making direct investments into companies involved in the manufacture of alcohol or tobacco.

ROTHERHAM DONCASTER AND SOUTH HUMBER NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

Notes to the Accounts

1.9 Short term investments

Short term investments consist of an instant access bank account and a 95 day notice account for longer term investment.

1.10 Realised 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 purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and the opening market value (or purchase date if later).

1.11 Grant making policies

The fund managers have delegated authority from the Charitable Fund to decide how the funds may be spent.

Grants may be made to other NHS Trusts in order to transfer funds which could more readily be used for their intended purpose by the recipient Trust.

Grants may also be made to external organisations within strict limitations and criteria. In particular it must be to an organisation which is an accredited, properly constituted body which support RDaSH patients and/or service users or carers, and it must be able to demonstrate that the service it offers provides significant benefit to RDaSH patients, service users or carers.

Applications from other organisations must have the support of senior RDaSH management and are approved or otherwise at the discretion of the Charitable Funds committee.

1.12 Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are apportioned and allocated to the funds on the basis of the average fund balance during the year.

1.13 Preparation of financial statements - going concern basis

(See statement in Annual Report)

Each year, as part of the accounts preparation process, the Trustee, RDaSH, makes an assessment of the Charitable Funds ability to continue as a going concern. It has been especially important this year as a result of the continuing cost of living crises. RDaSH, has a reasonable expectation, that the services provided by the Charitable Funds will continue to be provided for the foreseeable future. This has been considered with reference to a cash flow projection for future spends, avoiding recurring costs and is reviewed on a quarterly basis. This meets with the reserves and liquidity policy, and therefore RDaSH considers that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements.

For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

ROTHERHAM DONCASTER AND SOUTH HUMBER NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

Notes to the Accounts

Reserve 10 The policy aims to implement controls to ensure that the liquid funds are, as a minimum, equal to the level of Policy current commitments at all times. The Charitable Fund will limit the level of commitments to 90% of the value of the fund, to allow for fluctuations in the price of its investments. Any balance in excess of this amount will therefore be transferred over to a recognised Investment Manager to increase the existing portfolio. Cash not needed for immediate use is invested by Investec Wealth & Investment Ltd on behalf of the Charitable Fund, in order to generate income and capital growth. The remainder of the cash is held in a combination of current and short notice investment accounts with the NatWest bank. These accounts are reviewed quarterly in order to ensure maximum return is received on the balances whilst still being available for the Charitable Funds use. All of these balances are reported to the committee on a quarterly basis and are reviewed in line with spending plans and known commitments.

Related party 11 The members of the Charitable Fund Committee are also members of the RDaSH Trust Board. During the year transactions none of the members of RDaSH Trust Board or senior RDaSH staff or parties related to them were beneficiaries of the Charitable Funds. Transactions relating to administration charges paid to RDaSH for services provided throughout the year amounted to £18,512 (2023/24 £18,631). At 31 March 2025 the total for creditors included an amount of £72,382 (2023/24 £355,982) owed to RDaSH for invoices paid on behalf of the Charitable Fund.

Tax 12 The Charitable Fund is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and exemptions profits from investments, and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Charitable Fund's primary objectives, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes. There is no tax charge for financial year 2024/25 (2023/24 no tax charge).

Notes to the Accounts

During the year to 31st March 2025, the charity was relaunched as "Your Hearts and Minds", and with that relaunch, the funds were re-aligned into five fundraising priorities with separate funding pots. The reallocation was based on fund pot values as at 30th September 2024.

The re-alignment affected fund pots in both Unrestricted Funds and Restricted Funds, but there was no movement between Unrestricted and Restricted Funds.

The tables below show the balances and movements within Unrestricted Funds for the year to 31st March 2025 with the comparative year balances and movements for the year to 31st March 2024, along with a table showing how the Unrestricted Funds were re-allocated.

The reallocation within Restricted Funds was a sub-division of the Frailty fund pot as described below. Income and Expenditure before the fund pot reallocation, up to September 2024, was immaterial (income = zero, expenditure = £2k), and therefore these notes only show prior year balances and transactions under the old Frailty fund pot, alongside current year balances and transactions under the new Frailty fund pots.

Description of the nature and purpose of each fund

The main purpose of St John's Hospice is for the care of terminally ill patients and the provision of palliative care services.

This fund represents a donation that was specifically received for Forest Gate. The main purpose is to provide extra comforts for patients who use the day services. Funding is available until such a time that the funds are expended fully.

This fund represents a legacy which was bequeathed for Coniston Lodge, and revised in November 2020 due to a change in the service provision offered by Coniston Lodge. The main purpose is to enhance the clinical therapy support to the patient group within the frailty pathway by enhancing the therapeutic care and support via additional staff to benefit the patients' experience. This may include equipment as well as additional therapeutic staffing to the unit.

From October 2024, the Frailty Pathway fund was reallocated within the new "Your Hearts and Minds" fundraising priorites, still restricted to benefiting patients receiving care under the frailty pathway.
