Southmead Hospital Charity Chair’s review

In what has been an unprecedented year in the history of our NHS, Southmead Hospital Charity (SHC) has been indebted to our donors and supporters who have enabled us to provide continued support to our hospital and in particular to our patients, staff and visitors throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. Whether they have donated time, money, a gift or took on a fundraising challenge, since the start of the pandemic our donors and supporters have raised over £3.7 million, and £2.886 million in the 2020/2021 financial year – a phenomenal amount that is making a real difference to our patients and staff every single day.

From counselling support and calm rooms for staff, to the provision of mobile devices, sensory aids and life-saving critical care equipment for patients, and funding vital research into the impact of Long-Covid our donors have made a huge difference to patients and staff here in Bristol. Our thanks to everyone for all you have done to support your NHS and North Bristol Trust (NBT).

Following the launch of the Charity’s medium-term strategy at the start of the year, we have welcomed five new posts to the Team. This not only shows our ambitions for the Charity but also the strategic role the Charity will play, working with NBT and donors in the years to come.

Looking ahead, the Charity is busy with a focus on planning and working with NBT to support projects across our hospitals. We will be working towards a longer-term strategy during 2021/2022 with an aim to both increase income, focusing on corporate, charitable trust and major donor support and increase spending across all divisions and departments – all in order to maximise our support to our patients, staff and visitors.

During 2020/2021 we said farewell to Jaki Meekings Davis as Chair of the Charity Committee. My thanks to her for her contribution to the growth and development of the Charity; I know she would join me in saying that we are proud of all that we have achieved together over the past year. I look forward to supporting the Charity’s ambitious plans over the next year and beyond.

Charity objectives and activities

The overall registered purpose of the Charity is to, ‘apply income for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the services provided by North Bristol NHS Trust’. It is the responsibility of the Trustee to ensure that all donations and legacies are utilised strictly in accordance with the purpose for which they were given.

The Charity has over 200 funds which means that donors can support a cause close to their heart, from NICU (neo-natal intensive care) to neurology, from renal to radiotherapy. Details of expenditure are provided in the annual accounts attached to this report.

Southmead Hospital Charity is the leading charity for North Bristol NHS Trust. We raise funds for Southmead Hospital in Bristol, Cossham Hospital and the community health services of North Bristol NHS Trust. Our aim is to make life better for the patients NBT treats every year and for our staff by funding projects across our five key areas of support:

Achievements and performance

Working with NBT, Southmead Hospital Charity supports innovative and nurturing projects which are not covered or fully supported by central NHS funds.

Thanks to our donors, fundraisers and volunteers we make a real impact by funding pioneering research projects, health and wellbeing projects for our patients, wellbeing and training provision for staff, support innovative cutting-edge equipment, and improvements to our building and spaces. Every pound donated to Southmead Hospital Charity stays local, and everything we fund enriches the healthcare NBT provides supporting the 1,000,000 local population and over four million people across the wider South West and beyond.

At the start of the financial year the impact of Coronavirus both world-wide and within the UK became clear. The Charity team totally redesigned its plans and focused its fundraising activity on a Coronavirus Appeal, adapting and evolving our activity as more traditional forms of community fundraising were replaced with online and digital activity.

Specifically, as a result of the Coronavirus Appeal, some things we have funded are:

5

Other projects we have supported this year include:

Fundraising for the hospital is a community effort - we receive support and donations from hundreds of individuals, companies, charitable trusts and community associations each year. There are too many to mention individually but collectively they have helped the Charity make a real impact, improving the care our patients at NBT receive and the additional support we are able to offer to our visitors and staff.

As a Charity we constantly aim to improve and renew our processes in order to guarantee we implement and deliver best practise across the Charity; giving donors confidence and assurance in our charitable activity and future ambitions. Throughout the year we have made numerous improvements including a review of our policies and procedures, and more detailed strategy and planning exercises, which are reviewed by both the Charity Committee and Corporate Trustee in their meetings. Our new strategy includes the introduction of refined processes and new workflows to ensure we continue to raise the bar delivering donor centric activity.

We have had an incredibly busy and rewarding year at Southmead Hospital Charity, but we have more still to do. During the next 12 months we will:

7

The Charity’s plans are ambitious, and together with our dedicated supporters, Trustees, staff and charity partners, we can ensure a lasting legacy of a World-class National Health Service in the South West.

----- End of picture text -----

The funds carried forward at 31 March 2021 are £12,093k (31 March 2020: £10,637k).

The Charity has continued to receive considerable support through our donors and fundraisers

throughout the year, despite the impact of the worldwide pandemic; this has meant the Charity’s income for 2020/2021 was £2.886m.

There are no uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Investment Income

The Trustee invests the Charity’s funds for growth and income using appointed investment managers. The Charity committee regularly reviews the performance of their investments.

9

Investment Policy

In order to maximise income potential, the Charity invests to generate interest and dividends. To achieve this, an official pooling scheme is operated for investments and is operated through expert investment managers Smith & Williamson.

Short Term Balances

Money is held in a current account with the Royal Bank of Scotland, generating interest, until such time as it is needed to meet expenditure requirements. As the short-term balances are derived from the income received on a day-to-day basis, they fluctuate in accordance with the income received.

Long Term Balances

Under the Trustee Investment Act 1961 and the Trustee Act 2000, the Charity as a corporate body is empowered to invest in certain categories of investments. North Bristol NHS Trust Charitable Funds make investments in accordance with these Acts.

Reserves Policy

The Charity receives income in the form of donations and bequests/legacies. This income is banked as and when it is received. By its very nature, it is difficult to predict in advance the amount of income that the Charity is likely to receive, and therefore it is essential that the Charity maintain sums of money on reserve, to meet its requirements and to act as a buffer against stock market fluctuations.

It is the policy of the Trustees to retain between 20% - 30% of the value of the Charity's Investment portfolio as reserves. The value of the Charity’s Reserve Funds, as at 31 March 2021 are £2,258k. The reserves held at 31st March 2021 were 22.1%, which is calculated as follows:

Total value of Investment Pool: £10,198k Funds held in reserve: £2,258k

Endowment Funds

These funds are held so that only the income is available for distribution while the capital balance is maintained.

10

Unrestricted Funds

These Funds are held for general purposes and the Trustee has the freedom to use the funds at its discretion within the overall objects of the Charity.

Designated Funds

These are funds without a legal restriction but where the donor has indicated wishes for the donations use. The Trustee has directed that such funds be designated for use in line with donors’ wishes.

Restricted Funds

These are held by the Trustee for restricted purposes that have been determined by the donor. It is the duty of the Trustee to ensure these funds are used as the donor specifically requests.

Risk Management

The Charity has identified and examined all major risks to which it is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. The main identified financial risks are that investments are not properly safeguarded, investments are subject to stock market fluctuations, and inappropriate expenditure may be made (too high, too low or not properly authorised). The investment performance is closely monitored by the Southmead Hospital Charity Committee and a reserve is maintained in accordance with the Reserves Policy. Expenditure is covered by strict authorisation rules following approval of annual spending plans.

15

Structure, governance and Southmead Hospital Charity management

The Charities Act (Protection and Social Investment) 2016 came into effect in November 2016, which sets out key requirements for Charities to cover in their annual statements.

The Charity’s approach to fundraising and whether a professional fundraiser or commercial participator was used.

SHC ensures that all fundraising expenditure will be to maximise our return on investment whilst maintaining the best possible relationship with our donors and supporters. In ensuring we focus on both raising funds across all income streams and to improve our governance and business planning we have appointed five new roles during 2021/2022.

Details of any voluntary fundraising schemes or standards to which the Charity, or anyone fundraising on its behalf has subsidised and any incidents of non-compliance.

SHC is a member of the NHS Charities Together who ensure that we are kept informed and fully updated on all current and developing issues. Concerns are highlighted and knowledge is shared with similar organisations. The Charity is also a member of the Fundraising Regulator. We pay their voluntary levy and abide by their regulations and principles of best practise. There were no incidents of non-compliance during the year.

Whether and how the Charity monitors fundraising actives carried out on its behalf.

The Corporate Trustee and SHC Committee agree the Charity’s annual income and expenditure operating budget for the Charity, and the Charity’s senior leadership team utilises the resources allowed in the expenditure budget to deliver against the team’s income target. The Charity reports on a quarterly basis to the Charity Committee and Corporate Trustee. If the Charity fails to generate its expected return on investment the Charity Director will recommend strategies to improve the return and implement alternative fundraising plans.

16

How many complaints the Charity, or anyone acting on its behalf, has received about fundraising for the Charity.

The Charity has an agreed complaints procedure, and complaints log, and staff are required to bring any complaint to the attention of the Business Development Manager and Senior Leadership Team and to record the complaint on the Charity’s CRM database. The Charity has received no complaints during 2020/2021.

What the Charity has done to protect vulnerable people and other from unreasonable intrusion on a person’s privacy, unreasonably persistent approaches or undue pressure to give.

As part of NBT, the Charity has approved policies for safeguarding and privacy. The Charity’s website includes our privacy policy and a commitment to ensuring that supporters are in control of how communications with them are managed. In compliance with GDPR regulations, we are responsive to all communications preference updates and act according to the wishes of the supporter.

Partnership Working and Networks

The patients of NBT are the ultimate beneficiaries of the Charity and NBT is a related party by virtue of being the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. By working in partnership with NBT, the charitable funds are used to best effect. When deciding upon the most beneficial way to use charitable funds, the Corporate Trustee reviews to the main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of NBT.

We remain indebted to the work of the League of Friends affiliated to each of our hospitals, who raise thousands of pounds each year and contribute towards the purchase of major items of medical equipment.

19

Our future plans

Following the launch of a medium-term Charity strategy during 2020/2021 the Charity will be working to deliver continued and sustained expenditure and growth over the next five years. In particular, the Charity will be focusing its efforts on spending down on existing funds, in order to support more projects in a timely manner and reduce the time that donations remain unspent.

In the short to medium term, the fundraising team will work on a number of priorities to improve engagement, grow fundraising across our current five key areas: research; patient support& wellbeing; staff wellbeing & training; equipment and buildings & spaces. In the longer term, the Charity, working with NBT’s senior team, will explore Trust priorities for potential options for the next large campaign to benefit from philanthropic support. To support this, our donor activity will focus on building and cultivating meaningful, strategic philanthropic relationships with High Net Worth individuals, corporates and trusts.

Operationally we will continue to work with our Fund Holders and divisional teams to increase spend across NBT adhering to donor wishes and therefore benefitting more projects in a timely manner. With the introduction of a new Charity database and reporting system we will focus on using data and business planning to actively grow the Charity and enable us to present evidence-based income and expenditure reports to the Charity Committee and Corporate Trustee.

During 2021/2022 we will launch a new Charity website to support improved communications and marketing activity. We will improve our engagement with our supporters across our platforms, including social media, digital communications and printed materials. We are also working with NBT to increase our presence across the Hospital to reflect the impact our donors and fundraisers make to our patients, staff and visitors.

ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2020/21

Notes to the Accounts

1 Accounting policies

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 FRS 102 and the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities". These accounts have been prepared under all applicable charitable law in the charity's country of registration, the UK.

1.2 Fund Accounting

b) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

c) Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

1.3 Incoming resources

a) All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met.

i) Entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or the Charity's right becomes legally enforceable;

ii) Probability – it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the charity.

iii) Measurement - the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.

c) Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable.

This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy or transfer of property is likely to be made and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.

d) Gifts in kind:

i) Assets given for distribution by the Charity are included in the Statement of Financial Activities only when distributed.

ii) Assets given for use by the Charity (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 Charity are included in the accounting period in which the gift is sold.

1.8 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 purchase price if acquired during the year).

1.9 Apportionment

Dividends, interest and governance costs are apportioned monthly to fundraising income fund. Realised and unrealised gains and losses held on reserve are apportioned to restricted and unrestricted funds. Central support and fundraising costs have been allocated to fundraising income fund.

1.10 Investment policy

In order to maximise income potential, the Charity invests monies to generate interest and when appropriate, dividends. To ensure that there are monies available to meet different demands on expenditure the balances are held as short term investments. The Charity engages Smith & Williamson Investment Management as its investments manager.

Funds are invested by Smith & Williamson acting as Investment Manager for the Charitable Funds. They are instructed to maintain a balanced portfolio of holdings with a criteria the equity investments in the portfolio should be between 35-55%. The portfolio should include no direct investment in tobacco companies. Where possible, the investments in equity and fixed income should only be made in funds where the underlying manager is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), or if they are intending to or in the process of becoming a signatory. The Charity expects investments to be made in funds where the MSCI ESG rating is a minimum of BB.

Short term balances

Monies are held in a current account with The Royal Bank of Scotland until such time as they are needed to meet expenditure requirements. As the balances are dependent on the income received on a day to day basis, they fluctuate in accordance with the income received. In addition to this, cash is held with Smith and Willimson to enable them to purchase and sell investments in line with the investment policy.

Under the Trustee Investment Act 1961 and the Trustee Act 2000, the Charity as a corporate body, is empowered to invest in certain categories of investments. The Charity makes investments in accordance with this Act.

1.11 Pooling scheme

An official pooling scheme is operated for investments and is operated through expert investment managers by Smith & Williamson.

1.12 Going Concern Policy

These accounts have been prepared on the basis that the Charity is a going concern. The trustee has assessed the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern and feel the Charity holds sufficient funds in the form of liquidity and cash to meet all its obligations for the foreseeable future.

1.13 Reserves Policy

The Charity receives income in the form of donations and bequests/legacies. This income is banked as and when it is received. By its very nature, it is difficult to predict in advance the amount of income that the Charity is likely to receive, and therefore it is essential that the Charity maintains sums of money on reserve, to meet its requirements and to act as a buffer against stock market fluctuations.

It is the policy of the Trustee to retain on reserve a minimum of 20% of the value of the Charity's investment portfolio in the form of unrealised and realised gains. In addition the Charity holds a minimum cash balance of six months operating costs as a cash reserve.

The Charity’s Financial reserves mainly comprise of cash and investment funds. The main purpose of these reserves is to maintain sufficient finance for the Charity’s planned future operations and activities. The aim of the reserves is to protect the Charity from unforeseen financial challenges, while making funds available for investment in future activities.

The Investment funds and Cash at bank and in hand are apportioned across the category of restricted and unrestricted funds based on the fund value in the statement of financial activities.

The Charity requires the Fund Holders for each fund to provide a commitment forecast for the year to assist the Charity with its overall financial plans.

The level of reserves and expenditure plans are reviewed quarterly to ensure that the Charity expenditure is in line with income and reduces the level of reserves held.

Independent auditor's report to the corporate trustee of North Bristol NHS Trust Charitable Funds

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of North Bristol NHS Trust Charitable Funds (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Cashflow and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102; ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under section 149 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the charity’s business model including effects arising from Brexit and Covid-19, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the corporate trustee and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E9E2191E-3246-441C-9BE2-6C6DD810EEDF

Commercial in confidence

The responsibilities of the corporate trustee with respect to going concern are described in the ‘Responsibilities of the corporate trustee for the financial statements’ section of this report.

Other information

The corporate trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee’s Annual Report [1] , other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the corporate trustee for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities, the corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the corporate trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the corporate trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

1 The terms used to describe the annual report should be the same as those used by management.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's corporate trustee, as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's corporate trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its corporate trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
