Foreword by the Chairman of charitable funds committee of Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity

Charitable Funds Comittee

Welcome to the annual report for Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity 2020/21. Our charity supports the work of Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (MSEFT) and the patients and families it serves.

This has been a year like none other; on 1st April 2020, our charity became the partnership charity for the newly formed organisation following the acquisition of Mid Essex and Basildon charitable trusts by Southend charitable trust. At the same time the COVID-19 pandemic hit and affected all of our plans for the year, changing the focus of our charity completely.

In March we launched a COVID-19 Rapid Response Appeal, partly in response to the campaign launched by NHS Charities Together, and partly due to the enormous generosity and drive of the local community to support staff and patient welfare during the crisis.

Key highlights of our year:

• Receiving £229,000 in stage 1 grants from NHS Charities Together that we used to help MSEFT as they responded to the Covid-19 pandemic and a further £50,000 in second wave grants.

• Being nominated as the lead charity for the stage 2 community partnership grants from NHS Charities Together for the ICS for Mid and South Essex

• Receiving £330,000 in stage 3 recovery grants from NHS Charities Together that has been used to help fund health and wellbeing initiatives such as mental health first training

• Receiving and distributing goods generously donated to support NHS staff as they worked through the lockdown period from March to July 2020. Particularly memorable was the distribution of over 60,000 Easter Eggs and 12,000 care packages to all patients and staff

• Creating wellbeing hubs, ‘chill out’ spaces and garden areas in the hospitals so that staff have a safe space to relax during their breaks from working on the wards treating COVID-19 patients

This is my first report as Chair of the charitable funds committee, and I would like to thank everyone who has donated gifts or money this year as well as our charity staff who supported our frontline colleagues in this year unlike any other.

I would also like to say a special thank you to those of you who volunteered in our hospitals during the pandemic and in our charity shops in the community. Your contribution has been vital to ensuring the smooth running of services and an important income stream in this time of uncertainty.

As it seems that the pandemic may be coming under control, we will be reviewing our plans, but we will continue to focus on helping the population of Mid and South Essex to live fulfilling and healthy lives.

If you would like to get involved in helping our patients and staff, details about how to do this are at the end of this report.

Trustee report

The Trustee presents its annual report and the financial statements audited by the independent auditor for the year ending 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with the charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practices (FRS102).

Who we are

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity is a registered charity (Registered Number 1057266). The charity has been in place since 1996, starting out as Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund.On 1st April 2020 Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund acquired Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust Charitable Fund and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund to form Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity.

We exist to receive donations for the benefit of the NHS. For us this is the patients of Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. By securing donations, legacies, and sponsorship we can enhance the care provided for patients, their families and the staff who look after them.

Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of 1.2m Essex residents. It is an extremely busy hospital group, providing a wide range of acute services and offering specialties in cancer, cardiac and burns care.

We would like you to support us in our crucial work so please read on and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us.

Our mission

In the Charity’s Governing Document, the Charitable Object is: ‘For any charitable purposes relating to the National Health Service’.

We achieve this by raising new money and careful management of our existing funds. Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity provides public benefit by making grants to Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust and the organisations it works in partnership with in order to:

‘Make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of patients, their families and the staff who treat them. To provide support for innovation, education and care.’

Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution and the wishes and directions of donors. In making grants, we endeavour to reflect the wishes of patients and staff by directing funds towards areas they tell us are most in need.During the year 2020/21 grants totalling £1.7m were made. When considering where to focus our attention our corporate trustee’s board and, particularly, the members of the Charitable Funds Committee have regard to the Charity Commission of England and Wales’s guidance on public benefit and what this means for Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity.

Our plans are to continue to increase our level of fundraising to achieve our target of £2.5m a year which will help us work with our NHS partners to transform the health prospects for patients in our community.

What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year

Our key aim is to the serve the NHS patients of Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for the public benefit. By funding education, services, and equipment we can help the NHS bodies we work with provide care to their patients which goes beyond that which they are funded by the state to provide.

By working with the NHS, we assist patients from every walk of life, irrespective of race, creed, ethnicity or personal or family financial circumstances. We put this aim into practice by helping the patients, their families and carers, and visitors to the hospital by:

• enhancing the care our partner hospitals can offer through new equipment and building improvements to deliver better facilities

• investment in the people who work in the NHS in MSEFT to create caring environments for the patients receiving care, their families and visitors

• providing direct support to patients by way of information, networking support and better facilities

We do this through a range of projects funded by you, our generous donors. Highlights form the main activities undertaken in the year are detailed below to give you a wider understanding of the difference we can make together to lives today and in the future.

During a year like no other, Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity has provided support for the hospitals staff who have worked so tirelessly to keep the public safe in

very challenging circumstances. And, we will be forever grateful for the help that we have received along the way from our dependable and invaluable volunteers to our fantastic fundraisers and generous donors, as well as NHS Charities Together.

Wellbeing Hubs

COVID 19 Rapid Response Appeal

In just 6 months the COVID-19 Rapid Response Appeal had raised almost £610,000, including a generous grant of £229,000 from NHS Charities Together.

Very quickly the charity team mobilised to respond to the requests from staff for support.

Projects funded in the initial wave included:

• 120 iPads and Kindles for patients to communicate with relatives at home

• Baby monitors for ward staff to speak with patients in isolation

• £50,000 worth of care bags and refreshments for staff

• Kitchen appliance bundles and additional furniture for staff areas

At the beginning of lockdown, the charity supported pop-up wellbeing hubs at each hospital. The hubs offered staff a quiet and comfortable space to relax and reflect during breaks from their demanding work. The spaces gave access to refreshments and information regarding support and counselling options available.

Southend’s relaxing space has its own specially created mural by local artists Danny Bench, from South Woodham Ferrers. The structure of the hub at Southend was created in just two days by Maldon Building services who donate both labour and materials.

• Dermatologically tested hand and face cream

• Support to set up ‘wellbeing hubs’ on each site, kindly manned by hospital volunteers and Project Wingman

Garden of Remembrance Broomfield

A garden of remembrance opened at Broomfield Hospital and was made possible thanks to funding from NHS Charities Together and the Captain Sir Tom Moore fund. The garden, which took four months to plan and complete, offers a restful space for staff to re-connect with nature and a quiet area to remember colleagues and friends.

£30,000 for the Schwartz Rounds

The charity awarded a grant of £30,000 to support the Schwartz rounds which allow all levels of healthcare staff to reflect on the impact of their work. During Schwartz rounds trained facilitators lead a discussion where staff; from across the organisation both clinical and non-clinical are invited to share powerful experiences. They focus on staff experience, in particular recognising the emotional and relational challenges to providing care and are known to relieve stress and feelings of isolation in staff while also promoting togetherness and collaboration among staff.

The colour theme for the garden is for allyear round scented white flowers with green or grey foliage. Once the hedges have grown, the space will also have a sense of seclusion, privacy and enclosure, making it a garden for contemplation.

Appeals/Other projects

Polly Parrot Children’s Services Appeal

The Polly Parrot Appeal continues to support Basildon hospital’s children’s services. An investment of £46,000 was awarded to create a 2nd en-suite side room on Wagtail ward; this will allow a second room for families whose children have an Oncology condition and who require frequent and prolonged admissions to hospital for treatment for childhood cancers. Basildon Hospital is a Paediatric oncology shared care unit that shares care with Great Ormond Street and University College Hospitals. The 2nd en-suite will give the privacy to families to not have to share bathroom facilities with the rest of the ward.

Apollo MRI

made possible thanks to money raised by the For Wards appeal, supported by the Southend Charitable Foundation. The project was also supported by a donation of £2,000 from the ROSCA Trust (The Trust supports charitable purposes in Southend, Rochford and Castle Point local authority areas) to purchase a mini MRI model and two iPads.

Children's Penguin ward

An appeal was launched to raise funds to help transform the new Penguin children’s oncology day unit at Basildon Hospital to provide a comforting and calming place for children who are receiving cancer treatment.

A child-friendly MRI suite has been 'launched' to make scans less intimidating for young patients,

Significant Donations/Gifts In Kind section

Tibra Global

Basildon Intensive Care Unit is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology to aid treatment in the battle against COVID-19, after an extremely generous donation from Tibra Capital FoundationEurope funded the purchase of 27 new Mindray Monitors.

The Penguin Day Unit delivers 12 blood transfusions a month and currently treats 27 patients receiving blood platelets and chemotherapy. Supported by the community and the Polly Parrot children’s services appeal the area received a much needed child-friendly make-over to transform the space into an environment that is more welcoming and reassuring for children.

Tibra Capital Foundation, the

philanthropic division of the Tibra group – a leading prop trading firm, donated £112,000 which was used to buy the new monitors that are larger in size than previously available.

Significant gifts in kind

During the Covid19 pandemic the Trust received generous support from not only the community but also from corporate supporters. A large volume of donations were distributed by the fundraising team and our Trust volunteers to staff. Below is the table of the significant level of gifts received and noted within the accounts.

Southend Hospital Charitable

Foundation (associated Charity) The Trustees of Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation are continuing their support to Southend Hospital, agreeing to donate £27,000 to support the purchase of a Fees stack machine. The equipment allows speech and language therapists to make assessments at the patients bed side vs several X-rays and scans by assisting in the assessment and practice of swallowing and/or danger of aspiration. The equipment will be used across the hospital particularly supporting stroke services and elderly patients so they can be moved on/off liquid diets more efficiently.

Support was also received to purchase 2,700 male and female care packs to be used by the patient experience team valued at £3,000.

The care packs contain personal hygiene items such as a toothbrush, shampoo, wipes and a comb.

During covid19 unfortunately restrictions were placed on family and friend being able to visit their loved ones. This resulted in patients often being in hospital without access to the essentials. These packs have proved invaluable during a time of need.

League of Friends Basildon

Friends at Broomfield

The Friends at Broomfield Hospital (FaBH) have continued to support the hospital despite the shops being closed at times during the Covid pandemic resulting in less income. However, they have been providing storage space within the shops to ensure that goods/gifts received from the community and general public are safely quarantined before being distributed. They were able to hold all their regular meetings on Zoom with a great deal of success ….and laughter! The Friends have also agreed to support the refurbishment of the Pathology Department staff room with a donation of £8,000, and £3,000 towards a leg press for the Physiotherapy team. More recently, they have agreed to support the new chemotherapy unit with £5,000 towards the purchase of chairs.

League of Friends continued to support Basildon Hospital by donating a whopping 3,000 shower gels, cocoa butter and aqueous creams for clinical staff. The League of Friends wanted to give something to staff to show appreciation and gratitude for all their hard work and dedication. They had spoken to staff who mentioned the long working hours, wearing of PPE and forever washing hands so that better way to sooth the skin than some wonderful skincare products.

How we funded our work, our achievements and performance

The following figures are taken from the full accounts approved on 28 January 2022, if more details are required please refer to the accounts. This part of the trustees annual report comments on key features of those accounts. In this section we firstly explain how we raised the money and then how we spent it.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

14

Money received - £3.3m. Money spent - £2.2m

Total income received by the charity has increased this year, totalling £3,260,000 compared to £997,000 (19/20) as a result of acquiring Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust Charitable Fund and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund.

Money received: Source of funds

All of our income comes from the voluntary efforts of the general public. The chart below show our main sources of income this year. Our largest source of income continues to be donations from individuals.

Our fundraising activities this year have been impacted by Covid-19, particularly our Polly Parrot and Dementia Appeals. Many of our planned events were cancelled although we managed to move some on-line.

Donations and Legacies – our largest source of income is giving by the public and by local companies keen to support their local community through improving health.

Donations from individuals £683k and Corporate Donations £598k

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

15

The outpouring of support for the NHS in the first lockdown was astonishing. We were inundated with donations of food, toiletries and care packages that we distributed immediately to grateful staff and patients. We were also given equipment such as microwaves for rest rooms, meals on an ongoing basis and bulk items of toiletries and non-

perishable food items that have been reflected in our accounts at a value of £562,000. This is on top of the usual donations from grateful patients and relatives.

Many companies adopt charities as a way of putting something back into the community. Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity is grateful to the companies that have donated over the year and to their employees who have given their time and money to maximise the corporate support we receive.

Grants (£823,000) we are grateful to our charity partners and other similar organisations that have given us grants to fund particular projects or purchase pieces of equipment. We received £609,000 from NHS Charities Together, £82,000 from Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation and £132,000 from various community groups.

Legacies (£990,000) A gift in a will really is an investment in the better care of our patients and we are fortunate to be remembered by so many people each year. Where the terms of the gift require the capital to be invested, the income generated is used to assist our charitable work.

Fundraising (£127,000).

Due to the lockdown and restrictions on hospital visiting trading income was greatly reduced for our charity shop in Leigh and fundraising stalls in the hospital outpatient departments at Southend and Basildon. Income was also down on the sale of Adventure Island wrist bands which usually generates significant profit for the Polly Parrot Appeal.

Investment Income (£39,000) by prudent management of funds not immediately required for use in the hospital we earned interest and dividends of £39,000.

Money spent: what we spent the money on

As the chart below shows, our largest area of spend was on charitable activities in the form of grants. However, the purpose of those grants has changed. This year we have spent more on staff welfare and amenities this year than we were expecting to at the start of the year and less on building and refurbishment projects.

. Staff education and welfare (£954,000) The largest proportion of expenditure this year was on initiatives to support staff health and wellbeing. Ensuring staff are well supported benefits the quality of care they provide. Of course MSEFT as the employer has a duty to ensure its staff are well trained and able to do their work, but we can add those extra amenities and support additional training. To this end we paid for staff to undertake mental health first aid training and supported a number of intensive support team building and counselling sessions.

We also funded care packages for all staff, an e-voucher for all staff and volunteers in recognition of their work during the pandemic, fruit basket, snack rounds and hampers for staff working over the Christmas period. We have also funded kitchen appliance bundles for staff rooms to ensure staff have access to refreshments to keep their energy levels up.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

17

. New equipment (£376,000)

The NHS, of course, buys much of its own equipment for day-to-day use and has its own capital programme but NHS capital funds for large items of equipment are limited and must be used for essential items only. With advances in technology and items becoming obsolete, we can make a real difference to patients by funding equipment that might not otherwise have been bought. Equipment purchased in the year includes:

• Mindray Capital expenditure £112k

• £31k Raizer II Emergency Lifting Chair

• Opthalmology equipment £115k

• Intrepid Monitor/Defibrillator £66k

Admin, support and governance (£436,000).

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. These include the cost of staff working for Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity, IT Support, Independent Examiner/Audit fees and administration costs.

Raising Funds (£64,000).

The cost of raising funds includes investment manager fees, Adventure Island tickets, charity shop costs and professional fees paid in application of the NHS Charities Together Grant which were successfully awarded to Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity.

Building and refurbishment (£174,000).

In the year we spent £174,000 on refurbishing NHS buildings and facilities including refurbishments to Wagtail ward £55,000, Elizabeth Loury Ward £38,000 and Haematology wards £10,000.

Patient education and welfare (£224,000). Our support for the provision of IPAD’s, Kindles and mobile phones were our main area of spending this year. We also purchased care packs for use in patient care.

Performance against Objectives

Prior to the acquisition of the Trust and the creation of the new partnership charity on 1st April 2020, the Charitable Funds Committees for each Trust worked closely together over a period of 18 months to develop a set of objectives and strategic goals for the new charity and ensure a smooth transition of charitable funds.

This included:

• the creation of a new Mid & South Essex Hospitals brand, which was sympathetic to existing charity identities

• approval of the stakeholder communications and engagement plan

• oversight of the charity integration plan for back office operations including legal and regulatory framework

• approval of the fundraising strategy 2020-2023

Strategic goals 2020-2023

• 1.To work alongside the Trust to enhance the experience of patients and staff above and beyond what can be delivered though NHS core funding

• 2.To maximise funds raised through the development of an integrated fundraising strategy which sees a 10% year on year growth

• 3.To continue to deliver an excellent supporter experience to our donors and volunteers

• 4.To develop great relationships with our partners to deliver benefits to patients across Mid and South Essex

• 5.To be financially secure, responsive and have good governance

We would like to thank the members of the former charitable funds committees for Southend, Basildon and Mid Essex for their dedication and contribution to the successful creation of the new partnership charity.

• oversight of the investment policy and ensuring restrictions were maintained for each hospital within the new charity

Our fundraising practices

Members of Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters both in the hospital and in the wider community. Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity does not use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. There have been no complaints about fundraising this year. Between March and August 2020, the charity staff were unable to organise any events. Instead, they were re-deployed to manage and administer the generous donations from the public. This included taking receipt of the donations, distributing them where possible and managing the storage of those donations that could not be distributed immediately. Since,

September the team have been able to focus on fundraising, while managing donations that have been received. No face-to-face events have been held this year. However, an online sponsored walk and Christmas Grand Prize Draw was run.

The charity has signed up to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. All direct marketing is undertaken by the charity office to ensure that it is not unreasonably intrusive or persistent.

Contact is made through direct marketing a maximum of twice a year. All marketing materials contain clear instructions on how a person can be removed from mailing lists.

Our Fundraising performance

During the year the total donations, legacies and income from fundraising (shown as other trading activities in the Statement of Financial Activities) came to £3,221,000 against a plan of £2,000,000. The fact we exceeded our plan is mainly due to the support of the public for the NHS in the early days of the pandemic, NHS Charities Together Grants and legacies receivable. This was despite our fundraising activities being stopped during the year due to Covid restrictions. We are currently reviewing our prepandemic plans as we do not expect we will meet our fundraising target in 2021/22.

We benchmark our fundraising activity with our peers through the NHS Charities Together and monitor the comparative success of campaigns and overall fundraising cost to income ratios. We continue to perform well with a low cost to income ratio compared to the average.

Our future plans

In addition to the spending plans identified by fund holders from each care group:

• Identify a new major capital appeal in support of MSEFT and a compelling ‘wishlist’ of equipment and projects across wards and departments

• Continue to grow our trading activities including new charity shops in the local community and in the new hub based at Basildon HospitaL

• Expand our fundraising activities towards achieving our goal of raising £2.2million in 2021/22. We are aware that we did not meet that target in 20/21 as the Covid-19 donations were largely made without our input. We expect we will also fall short of our target in 2021/22 due to ongoing social distancing measures, we are working hard on virtual events

• Spend the grants provided by NHS Charities Together to help our partner organisations recover from the impact of the pandemic

• Continue to raise the profile of the charity, engaging with community partners, hospital staff and the local community across a variety of platforms

How we manage money

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity makes grants from unrestricted, restricted and endowment funds. The grants from restricted funds must be used in accordance with the conditions attached to the donation. Within the unrestricted funds, grants are made from general funds and designated (earmarked) funds.

• unrestricted funds. These funds are received by MSE Hospitals Charity with no particular preference expressed by donors. The charitable funds committee invites applications from any member of the hospital, and also from specialist partner charities, for example MacMillan, and patient groups working with the hospital. Based on their knowledge of the hospital, the committee agree funding priorities and score the applications for quality and value for money. Grants are particularly targeted at projects in areas of the hospitals that do not have available designated funds to assist them.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

21

• designated (earmarked) funds. These funds are established for a particular ward or department or activity nominated for support by the donor. They are overseen by fund holders who can make recommendations on how to spend the money within the designated area. Fund holder’s recommendations are generally accepted, and these funds can be spent at any time.

• endowment funds - U Brown. This is a permanent endowment fund managed by the charity. The fund cannot be spent as income and is instead invested. Income from investment is spent in accordance with charity purposes.

Our reserves policy

The Corporate Trustee formulates the reserves policy in accordance with the Charity Commission booklet CC19, Charities’ Reserves.

The Corporate Trustee has a minimum target for reserves of £500,000 which is required for the continued administration of the charity and has a ceiling for reserves of £5,000,000. Any unrestricted funds above the minimum target allow the Corporate Trustee the freedom to make grants when they are

needed in anticipation of donations, whilst being mindful of guidance from the Charity Commission that donations should be spent within two to three years of receipt.

The amount of reserves, including designated funds, held at the end of the year is £3,019,000 (2019/20: £779,000) against a target of £500,000.

The Corporate Trustee anticipates that maintaining the target level of reserves is likely to be achievable given the level of unrestricted funds held at the end of the year. The Charitable Funds Committee reviews compliance with this policy at each meeting. The Corporate Trustee notes the level of designated funds within the charity and has plans to continue to spend these balances on the areas appropriate to donor’s wishes. In the event that the need identified for any designated funds no longer exists, these funds will be redirected to the general purpose fund.

Statement of Corporate Trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements

Under the trust deed of the charity and charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.

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

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed , subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• assess the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and

• use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

29

The corporate trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the corporate trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Key management personnel remuneration

The board of the corporate trustee and the charity director comprise the key management personnel of the charity as they are in charge of:

• directing and controlling the charity running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis.

The Charity director is employed by MSEFT on NHS terms and conditions. The director's remuneration is reviewed annually and is increased in accordance with the nationally agreed increases for his pay scale. Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity is fully recharged by the FT for the employment costs relating to the charity office and finance team.

Risk analysis

MSEFT’s board members are either

executive members who are employees of MSEFT or non-executive members who are remunerated in accordance with the MSEFT’s constitution. None of the board members are specifically paid in relation to Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity, they give of their time freely.

Details of expenses paid to key management personnel are disclosed in note 12 to the accounts.

Members of MSEFT’s board are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the company secretary and withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. All related party transactions are disclosed in note 21 to the accounts.

As part of the business planning exercise carried out during the year, the charitable funds committee has considered the risks to which Mid & South Essex Hospitals charity is exposed. They have reviewed systems and identified steps to mitigate those risks. Three major risks have been identified and arrangements have been put in place to mitigate those risks.

Future levels of income

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity is reliant on donations to allow it to make grants to NHS bodies. If income falls, then the charity would not be able to make as many grants or enter into longer term commitments with the NHS bodies it supports.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

31

The committee mitigates the risk that income will fall by engaging with the Fundraising Department. That Department comprises dedicated fundraising experts who work with MSEFT to provide a co-ordinated approach to raising funds. Fundraising activity is regularly benchmarked against our peers and thorough reviews are undertaken after major campaigns and events to understand what worked well and how things could be done better.

The public’s support of the NHS has been demonstrated through increased donations during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the national emergency appeal managed by NHS Charities Together. However, social distancing measures in place in 2020 and continuing into 2021, particularly during the spring and summer months have affected our fundraising events and therefore reduced our fundraising income. The Fundraising Department has managing this risk by moving fundraising online, but this continues to be a key risk as the pandemic continues and the public’s goodwill towards the NHS starts to wane.

Fall in investment returns

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity generates additional income from investing its cash balances so the committee considers the loss of investment income to be a major financial risk. This risk is increased as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the stock market although that risk is, in part, reduced by the increased cash balances due to the grants received in year. The risk is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers, having a diversified investment portfolio and regularly reviewing that portfolio. The committee makes use of benchmarking information when reviewing the portfolio.

Unforeseen changes in the operation of the NHS

The NHS is, by its very nature, subject to national changes in government policy as well as local politically driven decisions. The charitable funds committee has identified this as a risk as it may mean initiatives or healthcare activities supported by Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity are no longer delivered in the Mid & South Essex area. The committee regularly liaises with NHS partners to understand the changes that they are facing at an early stage.

Wider networks

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity is one of over 400 NHS linked charities in England and Wales who are eligible to join NHS Charities Together. As a member charity, we have the opportunity to discuss matters of common concern and exchange information and experiences, join together with others to lobby government departments and others, and to participate in conferences and seminars which offer support and education for our staff and members of the charitable funds committee.

As a member of NHS Charities Together, we have also been very grateful to receive grants from their national emergency appeal.

However, they retain their independence to act in the best interests of Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity and the charity’s beneficiaries.

Our relationship with the wider community

The ability of Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity to continue its vital support for the NHS in Mid & South Essex is dependent on its ability to raise funds from the general public. Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity also continues to forge strong relationships with members of NHS staff whose cooperation the ability to make an effective contribution would be much diminished.

Related parties

MSEFT is the corporate trust of Mid and South Essex Hospitals Charity and is therefore a related party.

We do pay grants to other NHS bodies, particularly, members of Mid and South Essex ICS where they provide services which align with our charitable objectives. The committee consults with representatives of these organisations formally through their committee meetings and via other, less formal contacts.

Volunteers

On behalf of the trustee body, the charitable funds committee would like to pay tribute to:

• the members of staff who give of their time out of hours in support of the work of the MSE Hospitals Charity and working with us to identify how we can help them care for the patients

• our fundraisers who do so much to encourage others to enrich lives through donations and fundraising activities.

• Finally, a special thank you to Maureen Townley MBE and Linda Ansell MBE who retired this year from fundraising. Maureen and Linda have been part of the fabric of Southend Hospital since the mid-1980s as Maureen and Linda’s Enterprises, selling bric-a-brac and knitted goods from a stall in the outpatients’ department. Over the years they have raised hundreds’ of thousands of pounds and in 2017 received the lifetime achievement award at the Annual Volunteer Awards.

• Members of Project Wingmen whose flight teams looked after our teams by serving drinks and snacks and giving them a place to relax away from the front line.

• volunteers from the Stockvale Group who supported our goods in team and helped to distribute PPE to the wards

• our charity shop volunteers and the Friends of Broomfield shop volunteers who carried on, where possible, throughout the pandemic

Independent auditor’s report to the Corporate Trustee of Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust Charity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Mid & South Essex NHS Foundation Trust Charity (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet. Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) 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 are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.

Going concern

The Corporate trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

35

year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).

In our evaluation of the corporate trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.

Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud

Our conclusions based on this work:

• we consider that the corporate trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;

• we have not identified, and concur with the corporate trustees’ assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

• Enquiring of directors as to the Charity’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

• Reading Board minutes.

• Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

36

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.

As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue

recognition. However, due to the nature of the income received by the charity we have rebutted the fraud risk in relation to revenue recognition.

Within the Charities sector, auditors also consider the risk that material misstatements due to fraudulent financial reporting may arise from the manipulation of expenditure recognition and therefore an additional risk has been identified in relation to this. Due to the nature of the expenditure recognised by the Charity, this risk has been limited to expenses which do not relate to transfers to the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust.

We performed procedures including:

• Agreeing a sample of expense transactions back to relevant invoices and supporting documentation.

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to noncompliance with laws and regulations

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discussion with the Corporate Trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards). We discussed with the Corporate Trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit.

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.

Identifying journal entries to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included those posted to unusual accounts combinations;

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

37

The Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including the Charities SORP) and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Whilst the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations, we did not identify any others where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.

Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

Other information

The corporate trustees are responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if:

based solely on that work, we have identified material misstatements in the other information; or

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

38

• in our opinion, the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements.

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Other matter - prior period financial statements

We note that the prior period financial statements were not audited.

Consequently ISAs (UK) require the auditor to state that the corresponding figures contained within these financial statements are unaudited. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Corporate Trustees’ responsibilities As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 29, the corporate trustees are responsible for: the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; 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 they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Mid & South Essex Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts year ending 31 March 2021

39

Auditor’s responsibilities

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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the charity’s corporate trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act.Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s corporate trustees 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 trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
