OUR OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT

By raising new money and with careful management of our existing funds, the Charity provides a public benefit by making grants to the Trust and the organisations it works with in order to fulfil the objectives, being:

The main purpose of the charitable funds held on trust is to apply income for charitable purposes relating to the general or any specific purposes of the Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust or to purposes relating to the Health Service.

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 2024/25 grants totalling £396,000 were made. When considering where to focus our attention the corporate trustee has regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and what this means for the Charity.

Trustee arrangements, structure, governance and management

The Charity was incorporated by deed in the form of the model declaration of trust dated 15 August 1996 as an “umbrella charity”, registration number 1058037; this registration is in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The fund comprises both general and special purpose funds. Charitable funds received by the Charity are accepted, held and administered as funds and property held on trust for purposes relating to the health service in accordance with the relevant guidance and legislation by the corporate trustee.

The Charity is constituted of 30 individual funds, being 10 restricted and 20 unrestricted as at 31 March 2025. The notes to the financial statements distinguish the types of fund held and disclose separately all material funds.

The Trust is the sole corporate trustee of the Charity. The corporate trustee’s responsibilities are therefore carried out by the Trust’s Board of Directors. The board is appointed in accordance with the Trust’s constitution. Details of the Trust’s board membership can be found in its annual report and on its website and also as above (page 1).

The Trust Board meets as necessary as corporate trustee via the ‘Charitable Trustee Board’. The main

2

duties of the Board are to ensure all legal duties are complied with to:

ii) Manage the Charities resources responsibly.

iii) Act with reasonable care and skill.

The Charitable Trustee Board approved the establishment of the Charitable Funds Committee ‘the Committee’. The main purposes and duties of the Committee are to:

i) Provide detailed scrutiny of charitable trustee matters in order to provide assurance and raise concerns (if appropriate) to the Charitable Trustees Board.

ii) Making recommendations, as appropriate, on charitable trustee matters to the Charitable Trustees Board.

iii) To equitably manage the charitable funds of the Trust in accordance with Department of Health and Social Care guidance and statutory and Charity Commission requirements.

iv) Consider Bid requests and approve expenditure up to the agreed delegated financial limits.

Under the scheme of delegated authority, approved by the Board of Directors, the Director of Finance has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Charitable Fund.

Administratively, a senior member of staff from the Finance Department supports the Committee. The accounting records and the day-to-day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Financial Accounts Department of the Trust.

The corporate trustee, as trustee of the funds, has an overall responsibility for the governance of the Charity in accordance with the legal requirements which includes the management of funds and distribution of the monies. The charitable funds available for spending are allocated to specialties within the Trust’s clinical business unit management structure. The corporate trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objects of each fund. The corporate trustee respects the wishes of our generous donors to benefit patient care and advance the good health and welfare of patients, carers and staff.

Our fundraising practices

The fundraising department follow the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. The code of practice forms part of the induction of new staff/volunteers and updates are circulated and shared. The charity team have monthly planning meetings which reflect the code of practice and what this means for future fundraising ensuring that the code is embedded within charity operations. Continuous review is undertaken of working practices to ensure they are compliant. Volunteer fundraisers are also provided with a briefing and mentoring support from staff.

All direct marketing is undertaken by the fundraising department to ensure that it is not unreasonably intrusive or persistent. Contact is made through direct marketing to external supporters a maximum of four times a year but usually annually. All marketing material contains clear instructions on how a person can opt out and be removed from mailing lists.

Members of the fundraising department organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters both in the hospital and in the wider community on behalf of Barnsley Hospital Charity. Volunteers recruited by the Trust support the fundraising team’s activities both within and outside the hospital. The charity does not use professional fundraisers and has no commercial participation agreements within this period. The charity has had no complaints in relation to fundraising activity within the period.

TRAINING FOR THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE

Members of the Board of Directors are subject to an induction programme on appointment to the Board. Further training is available on request and is provided as and when required.

EXPENDITURE AND RESERVES POLICY

The expenditure of donated funds shall be conditional upon the goods/ services being within the terms of the appropriate fund and also that the expenditure does not lead the Charitable Funds into further payments, which have not been agreed and funded.

The Charity is funded by donations and/or legacies received from patients, relatives, and the general public and other external organisations. The overall strategy is to meet its charitable objectives by the following means:

Reserves are held by the Charity to meet the future potential commitments of the Funds held.

The overall policy aim is that donated monies should be spent as soon as practicable in line with the purpose of the charity, as opposed to a deliberate programme of building up capital investments.

In practice, this will ensure that the Charitable Funds will aim to spend, each year, all income received including investment income.

The corporate trustee considers the total funds of the Charitable Funds should be at a minimum of £200,000 whilst the reserves should not reduce below £95,000. At 31 March 2025 the Charitable Funds currently has total funds of £3,555,000 including reserves of £1,572,000 (calculated as total unrestricted funds of £2,963,000 less designated funds of £1,391,000) and accordingly holds an excess over the minimum reserves.

In 2021/22 the corporate trustee agreed £1,330,000 of the existing unrestricted funds to be designated funds and was increased by £375,000 from the corporate donation from BFS in March 2024. As at 31 March 2025 the balance of designated funds was £1,391,000. This is going towards two capital schemes in the next 12 – 24 months. These include a transformation of the care of the elderly ward the recently completed fundraising appeal ‘make a memory’ will contribute to improvements for patients living with dementia and ‘health on the high street’ which will deliver some of the hospital’s outpatient services in a new health and wellbeing hub in Barnsley town centre with a project that will enhance the patient experience.

In addition, where it is prudent to do so, the Charitable Funds will agree to fund one off projects from reserves. This policy over time will reduce the size of the investment portfolio, assuming the continuance of the past level of donations. The corporate trustee will be advised on the level of investments the Charitable Funds needs to protect, in order to support the recurrent expenditure from such sources.

The following authorisation limits were applied during the year:

All expenditure on Charitable Funds was approved by the Committee. A bid had to be submitted on the approved documentation and signed by the authorised signatory – depending on the fund, signatories include: a Clinical Director, Associate Director of Operations, Associate Director of Nursing, Head of Midwifery, Director of Operations, Director of Finance, Director or Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality,

Director of Communications Chief Executive and other members of the Executive team.

PARTNERSHIP WORKING AND NETWORKS

The Trust is the main beneficiary of the Charity and is a related party by virtue of being the corporate trustee of the Charity. By working in partnership with the Trust, the Charitable Funds are used to best effect. When deciding upon the most beneficial way to use Charitable Funds, the corporate trustee has regard to the main activities, objectives, strategies and plans for the Trust.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The corporate trustee is responsible for managing risk issues for the Charity, which is underpinned by the internal policies and procedures of the Trust, including:

The Charity has agreed ongoing to adopt all Trust policies where relevant.

This list of documents is not exhaustive but governs how the corporate trustee must operate and the issues it must consider. However, the corporate trustee must also be aware of the statutory framework in which it operates, specifically in relation to the charitable status as well as the wider NHS environment. With regards to investments, the corporate trustee adopts a managed fund approach by engaging a professional advisor. This is detailed further in the Investment Policy below.

In addition to these, the corporate trustee considers specific risk issues on a regular and on-going basis.

As part of the business planning exercise carried out during the year, the corporate trustee has considered the major risks to which Barnsley Hospital Charity is exposed. Systems have been reviewed and steps identified to mitigate those risks. Consideration of incident e.g. an economic downturn is detailed below:

i) Future levels of income

The 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.

The charity mitigates the risk that income will fall by engaging with the Fundraising Department. That Department comprises dedicated fundraising experts who work with the Trust as well as the Charity to provide a co-ordinated approach to raising funds. Consideration is made as to ongoing development of virtual fundraising and new ways of engaging supporters.

ii) Fall in investment returns

The Charity generates additional income from investing elements of its cash balances so the corporate trustee considers the loss of investment income to be a major financial risk. The risk has previously been mitigated by retaining expert investment managers, having a diversified investment portfolio and regularly reviewing that portfolio. In 2023-24 the corporate trustee used benchmarking information when reviewing the portfolio and made the decision to de-invest its investments in January 2024. This was due to the investments not performing against the benchmarking information and the higher interest rates seen in fixed term investments. In 2024-25 investment income from fixed term investments generated £168,000.

PUBLIC BENEFIT, SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Our key aim is to serve the NHS patients of Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for the public benefit. By funding research, services and equipment we are able to help the NHS body and other organisations we

5

work with to provide care to their patients which goes beyond that which they are funded to provide.

The finances of the Charity are primarily dependent upon donations and legacies. The income is detailed in the table below, together with the main expenditure headings. An adequate cash balance and financial investment portfolio is maintained in order to continue to support the Charity.

The main achievements of the charity included consolidating the fundraising function, which consequently has contributed to charitable income and enabling expenditure to further the legal objectives. Accordingly, the Charities work has made a difference to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and given wider benefits to society as a whole. In the year funds were approved to support patients being discharged from hospital and those attending Barnsley Hospital Emergency Department presenting as homeless to provide care packs; this initiative has been generously supported by Barnsley MBC through the Household Support Fund. Staff and volunteer complementary therapy sessions which have been supported by the charity have received 100% satisfaction score from beneficiaries. Expenditures were also approved for various initiatives in regards to staff wellbeing and staff welfare facilities from the designated funds. Other examples of achievements to contribute to income and facilitate expenditure are detailed below which are also explanatory in regards the significant activities undertaken to further the charity’s legal purposes and for the public benefit.

The Charity has further consolidated the fundraising strategy which has been developed to continue to support the fundraising infrastructure to support the charity fundraising, to build existing revenue streams, to identify new opportunities, to drive capital project funding, to further engage staff in both applying for and raising charitable funds for their working area and to assure the corporate trustee on charity performance, sustainability and risk management.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Barnsley Hospital Charity team supported by volunteers will continue to build on our supporter base to develop the charity and support patients, staff and volunteers with activities, services and equipment which is over and above that which government funding provides for. A revised fundraising strategy has been developed which will see us maximise all aspects of income including delivering a full calendar of events in line with what works in Barnsley and expanding our digital capabilities with a new website.

Breast care appeal

The charity will be launching a new appeal to support a transformation of the Breast Care Unit which supports over 7,000 patients each year. The appeal value will be £250,000.

We will be undertaking various seasonal fundraising activities throughout the period which are in line with the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice.

In year a schedule of planned use for material designated funds was agreed, certain of these projects have commenced and there are plans to progress these schemes into future periods. The charity also continues

7

to assess the level of funds which are to be designated for specific projects in the future.

EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE

On behalf of the staff and patients who have benefited from the improved services due to donations and legacies, the corporate trustee would like to thank all members of the public, patients, relatives and staff who have made charitable donations.

Your support makes these plans possible and to help the Charity please do consider donating. You can find out more information and donate on our website at http://www.barnsleyhospitalcharity.co.uk.

The corporate trustee would also like to pay tribute to our volunteers for their time, support and commitment to the Charity.

BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Barnsley Hospital Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the 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).

Basis for opinion

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 Auditors' 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

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

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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine 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 trustees are 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable incorporated organisation or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 auditors' 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.

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

We obtained an understanding of the Charity and the sector in which it operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, application of cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector.

We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the Charity in this regard to be those arising from the Charities Act 2011, Local tax laws and regulations, Anti Money Laundering Legislation and Bribery Act 2010.We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the Charity in this regard to be those arising from the Charities Act 2011, Local tax laws and regulations, Anti Money Laundering Legislation and Bribery Act 2010.

BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY

We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of noncompliance by the Charity with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to; a review of the Board minutes throughout the year and post year end. A review of general ledger transactions and discussions with management.

We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, including the potential for management bias identified in relation to the provisions and estimates and and we addressed this by challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management when auditing that significant accounting estimate.

As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

Barnsley Hospital Charity is registered in England and Wales Charity number 1058037. The financial statements have

been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.

As a qualifying entity the charity has taken the advantage permitted by FRS102, not to prepare a cash flow statement. The Charity is a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements which are intended to give a true and fair view and Barnsley Hospital Charity is included in the consolidation.

Going concern - The corporate trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of Barnsley Hospital Charity to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s financial statements.

In future years, the key risks to Barnsley Hospital Charity are a fall in income from donations but the trustees have arrangements in place to mitigate those risks.

1.2 Funds structure

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified as a restricted fund.

Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose.

Those funds which are not restricted funds, are unrestricted funds which are sub analysed between designated (earmarked) funds where the trustees have set aside amounts to be used for specific purposes or which reflect the nonbinding wishes of donors and unrestricted funds which are at the trustees’ discretion, including the general fund which represents the charity’s reserves.

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

1.3 Incoming resources

a) All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be 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.

b) Gifts in Kind

In all cases the amount at which gifts in kind are brought into account is either a reasonable estimate of their value to the funds or the amount actually realised. The basis of the valuation is disclosed in the annual report.

BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY - 2024/25

Notes to the financial atatements

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.3 Incoming resources (continued)

c) Incoming resources from legacies

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

Receipt is probable when:

 Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted.  The executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy.

 Any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

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.

d) Investment income

Investment income consists of dividends and interest received from the managed portfolio and also bank deposit account interest. An Investment income credit recharge is calculated and allocated over both restricted and unrestricted funds based on the average balance of the funds over the past five years. In January 2024 the Charity de-invested all of its investment portfolio

1.4 Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:

 There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event.

 It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement.  The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

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

1.5 Recognition of expenditure and associated liabilities as a result of grant

Grants payable are payments made to linked, related party or third party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies, in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds held on trust, primarily relief of those who are sick.

Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payment have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment.

A constructive obligation arises when:

 We have communicated our intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation they will receive a grant.  We have made a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant.

 There is an established pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that we will honour our commitment.

The trustees have control over the amount and timing of grant payments and consequently where approval has been given by the trustees and any of the above criteria have been met then a liability is recognised. Grants are not usually awarded with conditions attached. However, when they are then those conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised.

Where an intention has not been communicated, then no expenditure is recognised but an appropriate designation is made in the appropriate fund. If a grant has been offered but there is uncertainty as to whether it will be accepted or whether conditions will be met then no liability is recognised but a contingent liability is disclosed.

1.6 Allocation of 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 on an appropriate basis. The analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment applied are shown in note 9.

1.7 Fundraising costs

The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects. The costs of generating funds represent fundraising costs. Fundraising costs include expenses for fundraising activities and a fee paid to a related party, Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The fee is used to pay the salaries and overhead costs of the Hospital’s fundraising office.

14

BARNSLEY HOSPITAL CHARITY - 2024/25

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Notes to the financial statements

1.8 Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 6.

1.9 Fixed asset investments

In January 2024 the fixed asset investments were all de-invested.

1.10 Debtors

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

1.11 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, in an interest bearing current account.

1.12 Creditors

Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt. Amounts which are owed more than a year are shown as long term creditors.

1.13 Pooling Scheme

Following the deed created on 15 August 1996, Barnsley District General Hospital NHS Trust General Purpose Charity and other Related Charities was registered as one fund with the Charities Commission on 17 March 1998. The fund currently operates a pooling scheme whereby there are now 28 individual funds within the one scheme. This was impacted as at 22 December 2011 when the fund held for NHS Barnsley was transferred by statutory instrument to SWYPFT for a cash transfer value of £181,000. The Charities Commission confirmed on 1 May 2013 the name change of the Charitable Funds to Barnsley Hospital Charity.

1.14 Taxation

The Charity is a registered charity and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the charity's primary objectives, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

1.15 Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the accounts requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based upon historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 financial year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that financial year, or in the financial year of the revision, and future financial years, if the revision affects both current and future financial years. The estimates and judgements that have had a significant effect on the amounts in the accounts are outlined below.

Expense accruals - in estimating expenses that have not yet been charged for, management have made a realistic assessment based on costs actually incurred in the year to date, with a view to ensuring that no material items have been omitted.

Investments - Up until January 2024 the charity held a number of fixed asset investments at market value. Given the nature of these assets the Charity had external support of an appropriately qualified analyst (Investec) to provide a market value of the assets.

4 Role of volunteers

Like many charities, Barnsley Hospital Charity enlists the support of volunteers to achieve its objectives.

In the year ended 31 March 2025 there were 15 such volunteers (31 March 2024 - 18). The volunteers primarily assist in fundraising activities.

In accordance with the SORP, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in these financial statements.

As described in note 7, the charity awards a number of grants in the year. Many grants are awarded and paid out in the same financial year. However, some grants, especially those relating to research and development or for funding specific posts are multi year grants paid over a longer period.

9 Allocation of support costs and overheads

Support and overhead costs are allocated between fundraising activities and charitable activities. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to the strategic and day to day management of a charity.

Support costs, which include governance costs and management charge are recharged across all funds to include both restricted and unrestricted funds. The support charge is calculated and allocated over restricted and unrestricted funds based on the average balance of the fund over the past five years. Once calculated the support charge is allocated over areas of expenditure based upon accounting transactions carried out in the period.
