Welcome to SWFT Charity’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2024/25. We are the registered charity of South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, which provides care for over half a million people within our catchment area.

About SWFT Charity

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) has a Charitable Fund (the Charity) to generate fundraising income, to enhance NHS services. SWFT Charity (Reg No. 1056424) is an umbrella charity for 32 charitable funds.

SWFT Charity is the official charity of South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust. The charity aims to cover the cost of additional extras, above core NHS funding, that give our hardworking staff the opportunity to deliver the very best care possible in the most comfortable settings. Whether it’s bright and welcoming décor in a waiting area, state of the art medical equipment or entertainment for our inpatients, we use charitable funds to enhance the services we offer to our patients.

Our organisation covers the whole of South Warwickshire, with four hospitals (Warwick Hospital, Leamington Hospital, Stratford-upon-Avon Hospital, and Ellen Badger Hospital in Shipston), as well as many community sites across the area. Our Trust offers a full range of NHS services, including inpatient and outpatient services for various specialties, maternity services, end-of-life care, and various home visiting services. The Charity endeavours to support all Trust services as and when a need is identified.

Management

The Charity has a Fundraising Team which comprises of three fulltime staff members, a Fundraising Manager, a community & events fundraiser and a Fundraising Officer. The team, managed by the Head of Strategic Communications are responsible for the coordination, management and reporting of appeals as well as providing support and advice to staff on the Trust’s wards and departments about their individual income generation activities. The team act as the public interface and day-to-day contact for donors and fundraisers. They are also responsible for promoting and marketing the charity in the wider local community. All fundraising staff are employed by the Trust and the costs are recharged to the Charity.

Within the Trust’s Finance Team, there is a designated Charitable Funds Finance Officer along with a Finance Manager who also supports work on the finances. The team is responsible for the maintenance of accounting records and administration of funds. The Trust charges the Charity an administration charge for the services provided.

Organisational Structure

Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the SWFT Charity is administered and managed by the Corporate Trustee, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, with Mr. Adam Carson as Interim Chief Executive. Therefore, the Charity Trustee comprises of the Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors of South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust and is appointed in accordance with the Foundation Trust’s constitution (see Appendix B for details of the Directors). Trustee meetings are held on a quarterly basis. Members of the Charity Trustee receive Trust induction and training, in conjunction with Trust’s Constitution, policies and procedures that are made available to them. The Trustee is aware

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

of the Charity’s Commission’s publication on public benefit, and this guidance is adhered to when making decisions.

Throughout the year the team implemented a number of campaigns to raise awareness of SWFT Charity and this is across the wide range of channels including social media, posters and press releases to publicise fundraising activity.

Decision making

Prior to committing the Charity to expenditure, a detailed description must be given on a Charitable Expenditure Form and approval is given when all of the criteria are attained. The financial limits are as follows:

Up to £5,000 Fund Manager Between £5,000 and £15,000 Chief Executive & Managing Director More than £15,000 Trustee

Applications for items above £15,000 which are made between Trustee meetings can be authorised by the Managing Director and Director of Finance jointly. These applications are subsequently taken to the Trustee meeting for confirmation at the next available meeting.

Unauthorised forms, or those only containing one signature, are returned to the originator for authorisation before any payment is made.

Sources of Funds

The main sources of funds to the Charity continue to come from the following main sources namely:

The Charity recognises the importance of all these sources of income and works hard to build relationships with both the local community and grant making trusts to maximise income.

Donations/Legacies Processes

By working closely together, the Fundraising and Finance teams have developed and streamlined the process for dealing with donations. This process has been facilitated and enhanced using the Harlequin CRM system. All communication between the charity and supporters are recorded and stored on the database. A proactive and routine approach is also in place to reclaim Gift Aid on all donations, whenever possible. Regular monthly meetings are held between the two functions.

In addition to donation envelopes now being present on many of the wards/departments within the Trust, several bespoke charity displays have been added over the last year outside wards and on hospital corridors. These additional graphics provide information and highlight how to make donations / obtain fundraising information and include full charity contact details. Visitors to the Warwick hospital site will also find pop up banners advertising the new charity hub and where to find it.

The Charity has not received any complaints about its fundraising activities during the year.

What we have achieved

Some of the notable Purchases/Projects include the following;

Fusilier Footpath & Forget Me Not Park Graphics – Victoria Ward

We funded brand new graphics across the walls outside Victoria Ward at Warwick Hospital.

On one side we have "Fusilier Footpath", with depictions of high street staples like a sweet shop, a bank, tea rooms, and a post office etc, and on the other there are beautiful rural scenes making up "Forget Me Not Park".

The project transformed the corridor walls into a colourful array or nature and shops, and gives patients a pleasant environment to be away from the wards and beds.

The new graphics will be particularly beneficial to those living with dementia, helping to reduce the risk of deconditioning, as well as increasing mobility by presenting a pleasant place to walk through, and a way to connect with past memories.

Fusilier Footpath pays homage to the historic Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers.

Tilt-in-Space Chair for Greville Ward

We received funding for a new, state-of-the-art Tilt Chair for Greville Ward using kind donations from Julie Smith and family in memory of Julie's father.

The chair is a hugely appreciated addition to the ward, and will ensure a more comfortable experience for future patients who will be able to make use of it during their recovery.

We are so grateful to Julie & family, and everyone who donated towards the chair.

The Sky Room – A&E

We were pleased to open our brand new “Sky Room” in A&E this year. This new end-of-life room offers a relaxed and calming environment away from the busy department for patients to spend time with their families in comfort during the end of their life.

The room is equipped with dimmable lights and hidden bluetooth speakers should the family wish to play some music, and the walls present beautiful countryside imagery.

The room was funded by SWFT Charity, with a huge fundraising contribution from 16 members of staff from the A&E department, who took part in a charity skydive last year, so a massive thank you to the entire team for helping to make this project a reality.

Pocket Hug Lung Cancer Project

Our Lung Cancer team launched a new initiative spearheaded by Manjit Kaur, Lung Cancer Navigator.

The project, funded by SWFT Charity, provides each new patient unfortunately diagnosed with lung cancer with a small parcel containing a tea bag, a coffee sachet, a biscuit and a “pocket hug” keychain.

The parcel is a small gesture designed to provide a human touch at a difficult time, and to serve as a reminder to our patients that our amazing teams are here to support them on every step of their journey during their battle against cancer.

Paediatric Community Team Children’s Christmas Party

We were thrilled to support our Community Children's Nursing Team with helping to organise their annual Christmas party for the children they care for, many of whom live with learning difficulties or disabilities.

There was a lively atmosphere with a DJ, party games and a visit from the big man in red himself!

A special thank you to We Care UK who donated toys, selection boxes and gifts for the families.

Frailty Ward sensory garden

The completion of the sensory garden project, was funded by major donor Alan Jackson of Guiding Light Investments. Guiding Light Investments donated £30,000 towards the project, and Alan was incredibly pleased to see all the hard work that had gone into making the project a reality, with clinicians on hand to highlight what a brilliant facility this will be for patients at SWFT, helping to combat PJ paralysis and serve as a peaceful and calm environment for patients and their families.

The year at a glance

SWFT Charity has made considerable progress by developing a proactive approach in all areas. Following increased activities across a range of channels, the charity profile has grown resulting in higher awareness of its purpose and role, both internally and externally. Through an appreciation for the services provided by the staff at SWFT, there has been a considerable increase in the number of stakeholders who donate, host in aid of events or participate in the charity’s programme of events and initiatives.

Some notable developments during 2024/25 include:

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

Throughout 2024/25, the Fundraising Officer continued to assist with management of the CRM, event planning, with events such as the Warwick Market Takeover and Hadrian’s Wall Trek, helping the newly appointed Community & Events Officer to adjust to their new role, grant applications, and donor stewardship.

With the appointment of the aforementioned Community & Events Officer, the Fundraising Officer will focus on internal staff fundraising and events, and internal fundraising projects, and an increased grant application output going forward.

SWFT and Third-Party events

Warwickshire Pride 2024

We attended Pride for the fourth consecutive time to celebrate our amazing LGBTQ+ community and spread the word about the work of SWFT Charity. We met some lovely people and soaked up the incredible atmosphere while selling our SWFT Charity dog bandannas and summer raffle tickets.

SWFT Charity Free Wills Week - September 2024

SWFT Charity partnered with Mander Hadley Solicitors to offer a “Make your Will” during 9th-20th September 2023 and during “Remember a Charity” week. The initiative offered free single or double wills with a donation to SWFT Charity, or the inclusion of a gift to the charity left in a will. There were 10 Wills made in total, of which three left a bequeath in their Will to SWFT, in addition, £1400.00 collected in donations. The initiative forms part of SWFT Charity’s ongoing Legacy strategy.

Third Party Events

 Victorian Market 2024

The Victorian Market attendance on Thursday, 28[th] November raised a total of £65. The funds raised were from sales of our Christmas cups: Starbucks cups that had been filled with sweets and gift wrapped and sold as stocking fillers during this run up to Christmas. The team also held a small raffle and displayed the SWFT Charity Christmas Cards. There were comparatively fewer charities at the market which meant less competition on donations.

SWFT Charity was honoured to be selected for audience donations at the Royal Spa Centre’s pantomime performances throughout December and early January. With the previous year’s total at approximately £9,500, we aimed for a similar achievement.

A significant volunteer effort was required, as each of the 37 performances needed 4–6 volunteers, totalling a minimum of 148 volunteer sign up spaces. We collaborated with Volunteer Services to streamline sign-ups via the Better Impact system. Enough spaces were filled on Better Impact, with around 65 volunteers, including last-minute additions, contributed over 100 hours, ensuring the operation’s success. Thanks to this collective effort, we surpassed expectations, raising £10,552.17 . We extend our huge gratitude to the volunteers, Spa Centre staff, cast, crew, and everyone who supported and shared this opportunity.

Having leftover free running places from being the Charity Sponsor of last year’s Half Marathon has resulted in a fantastic total of £2689 for SWFT Charity. The free running place was great incentive for many SWFT staff members to sign up and raise some money towards Sprinkle Some Magic as well as

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

department specific equipment such as handheld fans for staff and patients. All runners completed the marathon on the day. Many of the runners are keen to run for SWFT Charity again at other racing events in 2025.

Financial Report

During the year, the charity received funds totalling £343,000 from donations, legacies, grants, fundraising activities, and interest. A breakdown of the various income streams is displayed below:

The Charity’s expenditure mostly took the form of grants made payable to South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust. The diagram below displays a breakdown of the areas of the £285,000 grants awarded.

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

The remainder of the charitable expenditure reported in the accounts relates to support cost allocations (£38,000) and fundraising costs (£151,000).

Expenditure in the table above includes the allocation of staff costs.

As of 31 March 2025, the Charity has total funds of £566,000 split across the two classifications of funds as follows:

The Charity tries to manage funds in such a way as to ensure that there is flexibility over their use, as this ensures that small balances do not remain unused. As such restricted funds are kept to an absolute minimum. However, it is also very important to the Trustee that donors’ wishes are complied with wherever possible.

Steph Surrey and friends ran the wolf run, raising money for the Helen Clarke Suite. The total came to a massive £8000!

Phil Haycock and the members of Racing Warwick Football Club donated £500 to the Aylesford Unit. This donation was made possible thanks to a fantastic fundraising effort by Phil

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

Haycock who wrote a book about the club. The book shares inspiring stories from players, highlighting how walking football has helped them overcome mental and physical challenges.

Appointment of Community & Events Officer

In 2024/25, SWFT Charity increased the number of members in the team to 3, hiring a Community & Events Officer to further the charity’s community outreach, and to develop and organise a series of fundraising events, working with staff and community groups to increase the charity’s footprint in the local area.

Outlined below are a few key activities and engagement within the community;

In addition, SWFT charity have hosted a number of events to generate awareness and engagement with staff and external donors, and are as follows;

SWFT Led Events:

A successful event raising £1,215 for the Breast Care Unit at Warwick Hospital. It marked the launch of Enthuse fundraising software and fostered a new partnership with Hart + CO, who have expressed they are eager to collaborate on future events.

SWFT Charity led a street collection on Thursday, 12[th] December while a group of students and teachers from Warwick Boys School busked and performed Christmas Carols in Warwick town

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

square. Considering the cold, wet weather, the group played very well, and we received £92.71 in donations from the public. Additionally, Warwick Boys also hosted a carol service at St Mary’s including a collection that would be split between both Myton Hospice and SWFT Charity. Still awaiting the final figure of this total.

Warwick: A Singing Town and SWFT Charity put on a flash carol singing at Tescos superstore in Warwick to raise funds for SWFT. The group set up at the front of the shop, where shoppers could stop and watch on their way in and out, join in with the carols and most importantly, donate to the charity. It was a joyous morning, with lots of shoppers joining the choir and singing along, raising £142.07 in donations and have agreed we will create more pop-up singing events going into 2025.

Our first virtual running event, Jingle Jog, was launched as a trial to explore virtual fundraising through our new platform, Enthuse, while generating additional festive income for Sprinkle Some Magic. Due to a focus on higher-yield initiatives, such as the pantomime collection and Warwick Half Marathon recruitment, the event raised a modest £57. However, the trial provided valuable insights into virtual fundraising. Given its minimal workload and hands-off approach, the team will explore opportunities for a more effective virtual event in 2025.

Third Party Events

The Victorian Market attendance on Thursday, 28[th] November raised a total of £65. The funds raised were from sales of our Christmas cups: Starbucks cups that had been filled with sweets and gift wrapped and sold as stocking fillers during this run up to Christmas.

Fundraising Hub

Good progress on the new Fundraising Hub is being made as part of the new Main Entrance/Elective Hub at Warwick Hospital. The opening of this facility is scheduled for early October 2025.

Our Future Plans

A new business plan is currently being developed to align our Trust values and charity mission.

For the year ahead, SWFT charity will continue to deliver our main strategic aim of being a key service deliverer and facilitator of partnerships within the region, supporting our people, patients and population.

The Charity continues to be a member of NHS Charities Together, the trading name of the Association of NHS Charities, and the Fundraising Regulator. These organisations help ensure that the Charity is kept informed and fully updated on all current and developing issues in relation to charitable funds. Concerns are highlighted and the knowledge shared with similar organisations.

Objectives have been raised and set through the SWFT Charity strategy which is approved by the Trustee. Some of the key objectives are:

Increasing opportunities to generate income through grant writing, legacies and regular giving. Over the years, gifts from legacies have enhanced support with various equipment, we will be focusing on developing this area of fundraising, engaging local solicitors, funeral directors and local care homes whilst engaging with bereavement team at Warwick Hospital. In addition, increase “unrestricted” fundraising which will be achieved through the launch of SWFT Charity Lottery, engaging with external community groups/organisations and creating marketing material to support these activities.

We will set out key priorities to meet the above with a new refreshed three year strategy for April 2025 to March 2028, this will include a robust fundraising development plan to help support the fundraising team to maximise income growth and engagement.

Develop strong relationships within the community and focusing on supported development

We will be reaching out to a range of Community Groups through visits, email and telephone to arrange meetings or presentations. This includes groups such as Rotary Clubs, Round Tables, Scouts/Guides, WI’s, Lion Clubs, Leisure Centres, Sports Clubs, Bars and Restaurants and Village Halls. We will reach out to religious groups and venues with

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

emphasis on religious holidays such as Diwali and Christmas. Making approaches to these groups will increase charity visibility, donations and support in fundraising events.

Before making those approaches however, a range of resources are being designed to provide groups, communities and individuals with information on the charity and the ways they will be able to support the charity. The proposed resources include:

Policies

The Funds Objectives and Procedures for the Deployment of Resources

The Charity’s objectives are set out in the Trust Deed and state that monies collected can be applied to any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service. The Charity is used for the public benefit.

The Charity’s Investment Policy and withdrawals from the Charity are determined by the Trustee. Expenditure can only be incurred following the submission and subsequent approval of a “Request for Use of Donated Monies” form by a member of staff in accordance with the Trust’s Standing Financial Instructions.

With the exception of restricted funds, the objectives and aims of charitable funds expenditure is to be in line with one or more of the following priorities:

Spending priorities are reviewed annually by the Trustee.

The Trustee reviews the overall spend of the Charity on a quarterly basis to ensure that spend continues to support the objectives above.

Reserves

Trustee has a general policy not to accumulate funds in reserves but to utilise donations in accordance with the wishes of the donor as soon as is practically possible. The Charity does not have a specified target level of revenue or reserves. However, the Trustee is currently reviewing policies and will consider this aspect within the revised policy. Accumulated reserves at 31 March 2025 were £425k compared with £516k at 31 March 2024.

Each year, managers of individual funds are asked to submit spending plans for the funds under their control and these are reviewed by the Trustee. Part of this review is to ensure that funds are used in the most appropriate way and in a way that is consistent with the overall planning process for South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust. As such there will be occasions where balances are built up to cover a larger item of equipment etc. Financial reports are prepared for individual ward managers / heads of department and monitoring reports are prepared for the Trustee meetings in order for them to discharge this review process.

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

Managing Risk

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust has in place risk and governance policies in line with guidelines issued by the NHS.

The key risks associated with the SWFT Charity are in the main financially orientated. These risks include:

Risks surrounding charitable funds are reviewed by the Charitable Trustee during the year. In particular the following measures are in place:

Management Renumeration

No members of management are remunerated for their work relating to the charitable fund.

Related Parties

Patients of the Trust are the main beneficiary of the Charity. The Trust is the immediate parent and the Department of Health is the ultimate controlling party for the Trust. The Charity incurred charitable expenditure relating to the Trust, in the furtherance of its charitable objectives. During the year none of the members of the NHS Board of Directors' or senior NHS Trust staff or parties related to them were beneficiaries of the Charity.

SWFT Clinical Services Ltd and Innovate Healthcare Services Limited are limited companies whose shares are 100% owned by SWFT. Innovate Healthcare Services Limited is operated as a joint venture with George Eliot NHS Trust.

Related Party transactions are subject to the same controls as any other expenditure.

Going Concern

Expenditure is only authorised after it has been ascertained that there are sufficient funds within the individual charitable fund to support the expenditure. In addition, the Trustee asks fund managers to submit annual spending plans.

The Trustee therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate cash reserves to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the signing of the accounts. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) , including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Signed on behalf of the trustee:

Adam Carson – Acting Chief Executive

Independent Examiners report to the trustees of SWFT Charity

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and far view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes on the accounts

1. Accounting Policies

(a ) Basis of preparation

SWFT Charity is governed by a Trust Deed and is administered and managed by the Corporate Trustee, the South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT). The Charitable Fund operates as a public benefit entity.

The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019)" applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective 1 January 2019; and the Charities Act 2011.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. Where the restriction requires the gift to be invested to produce income but the Trustee does not have the power to spend the capital, it is classed as permanent endowment.

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charity's objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds, where the donor has made known their non binding wishes or where the Trustee, at its discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 17.

(c ) Income

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

Where there are terms or conditions attached to income, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.

Legacies are accounted for as income either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.

Receipt is probable when:

If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.

Page 9

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

(e) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred, goods and services are supplied. Grant commitments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that result in payment being unavoidable.

Grants are only made to related or third party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies in furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charity. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by the Trustee and the grant communicated to the recipient. The NHS Foundation Trust has full knowledge of the plans of the Trustee, therefore a grant approval is taken to constitute a firm intention of payment which has been communicated to the NHS Foundation Trust, and so a liability is recognised.

Charitable expenditure is aggregated within the most appropriate category.

Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods or services supplied.

The Charity does not directly employ any staff. However, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust undertakes all administration, accounting, financial reporting and fundraising support. The Trust charges for this service.

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

(g ) Allocation of overhead and support costs

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs and IT support.

Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities based on the level of expenditure of each category.

The costs of raising funds are the costs associated with raising funds and holding events including staff costs which are recharged from SWFT.

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity.

(j ) Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments, usually in 95 day notice interest bearing savings accounts.

(l) Creditors

All the Charity costs incurred within the South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust are fully rechargeable to the Charity therefore the Charity liabilities are payable to the intermediate entity, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust.

Page 10

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

Expenditure is only authorised after it has been ascertained that there are sufficient funds within the individual charitable fund to support the expenditure. In addition, the Trustee asks fund managers to submit annual spending plans.

The Trustee therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate cash reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.

(n) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

The charity only holds financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Page 11

BoldSign Document ID: c6ce831d-aad6-4fa9-a9df-7c9b368334d5

Note 2. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
