MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Karen Manson Chair of Charitable Funds Committee

I am delighted to present the annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. In what has been a profoundly difficult year for so many, the charity has made a real difference to the lives of patients and staff.

The annual report and financial statements comply with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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 2015), the Charities Act 2011 and the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Our income for 2021/22 was £303,000 pounds. This is a remarkable achievement, given the obvious fundraising challenges presented by a global pandemic and national lockdown. This would simply not have been possible without the support of our brilliant donors and creative fundraisers alike.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend a heart-felt thank you to all the fundraisers, donors and volunteers who have supported us this year. The Annual Report is our chance to demonstrate just how much of a difference the charity has made, and can continue to make, with the invaluable backing of our supporters.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those individuals who have served on the Charitable Fund Committee during the year, who have given their energy, time and skills to make a difference.

I hope that, like me, you will be inspired by our plans to help and want to be part of our story.

If you would like to donate, details about how to do this are on page 42.

On behalf of the many patients who have benefitted from your generosity, thank you

HOW WE HELPED:

Launching our staff wellbeing fund

Upon launching the COVID-19 Wellbeing fund in March 2020, our immediate focus was on supporting staff on the front line across our hospitals. We moved quickly to set up communications to enable us to spread the word.

As community donations began to be received, the fund was further boosted by additional grant support from the central NHS Charities Together charity.

Our initial focus was on providing small items for staff and patients, that would have the most positive impact on their wellbeing. These included:

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust Ward Fund;

The support that we received from individuals and companies in our community during the pandemic was incredible, and we received a wide assortment of non-financial donations. We made up care boxes with the food, drinks and toiletries we received which the Trust’s Health and Wellbeing Team delivered to over 2,000 staff across the Trust during the first wave of the pandemic.

Jacquie Fuller,Staff Engagement and Wellbeing Manager said.

“We were able to achieve so much in supporting the welfare of our staff, with the incredible support from the local community. Their kind donations enabled us to put together jampacked boxes full of food, drinks and treats, which really helped to boost the spirits of our front line staff in the most difficult of times.”

Continuing to support staff through COVID-19

As the effects of the pandemic continued, staff at our hospitals embraced new ways of working. Large numbers of patients with COVID-19 and the use of personal protective equipment made working conditions increasingly difficult. Donations to the charity allowed us to make things a little easier.

In September, with thanks to the enormous generosity of the Kowitz Family, the charity organised an open day for Trust staff, volunteers and their families to visit Fairlight Hall. They got to relax and unwind in the award winning gardens enjoying cream teas in glorious sunshine. It was a big thank you for all the hard work everyone had put in during the pandemic.

Major purchases

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Charitable Funds have had the pleasure of approving and supporting the following Major purchases during the year ended 31 March 2022:

Ultrasound machines for Pevensey Unit

Committee members were delighted to approve £48,000 of funding to support the purchase of additional Ultrasound Machines for Pevensey Unit. These additional units will significantly help staff improve patient care as well as the working environment for the department.

Trauma Risk Management (TRiM)

TRiM is a peer support system that is designed to help people who have experienced a traumatic, or potentially traumatic event (PTEs). The Trust received funding from NHS Charities together to establish a TRiM program which would train staff to deliver this support to colleagues and teams within the workplace.

We trained staff in key clinical areas to become TRiM Practitioners, who were supported by TRiM Managers in each division. A Trust TRiM Lead was appointed who was responsible for the overall establishment and embedding of the program, the coordination of responses to PTEs and the roll out of the training programme. To date ESHT has trained 25 TRiM Practitioners with a further cohort due to start in September 2022 with 10 staff confirmed to attend.

The TRiM process has made a huge difference within ESHT. It has allowed over 200 staff to gain access to psychological support following a PTE. Feedback received from staff has shown that TRiM support has helped prevent staff from taking time off sick following traumatic events, and has provided the opportunity for them to be signposted to other forms of support that are available if they need this. The time spent with those needing TRiM has made them feel valued and listened to. Although TRiM is not a problem solving exercise, it gives staff the opportunity to talk through the PTE and to be given self-care advice which they can draw upon going forward.

The feedback received from staff who have engaged in TRiM has been overwhelmingly positive.

Partner Charities

We are enormously grateful for the work our partner charities do to raise funds for ESHT Hospitals, our community services, and patients. Our partner Charities are: The Friends of Bexhill Hospital, The Friends of Conquest Hospital, The Friends of Eastbourne District General Hospital and the Friends of Rye and Winchelsea District Memorial Hospital.

Together with the Friends of Conquest and the Kowitz Family Foundation we are restoring the 21 Courtyards of Conquest Hospital. The hospital was originally designed around 21 courtyards as open spaces, nature and fresh air help with patient recovery and improve the morale and energy of the medical staff working there.

The design was enlightened for its time and proved very popular. Sadly, over time the condition of the courtyards has deteriorated and they have fallen into disuse. The project was started by the Kowitz Family Foundation of Fairlight Hall who restored the first garden.

We’ve attracted a number of local professional garden designers who have offered complimentary designs. Hospital volunteers are providing the labour under the supervision of the Trust’s Gardening Team.

We still need funding, for gardening tools, plants and materials and for some of the bigger courtyards building materials. If you would like to support us you can donate in general to the project or select a specific garden or part of a garden.

Financial Management

Expenditure budgets for administration, governance and fundraising costs are approved by the Charity Committee at the start of the financial year and are monitored throughout the year.

The Charity manages its Charitable Activity spending through appointed fundholders for the individual funds. These fundholders manage the funds on a day-to-day basis with agreed authorisation limits, and in accordance with the Trust’s Standing Financial Instructions and Orders. Each fund holder receives a quarterly financial statement of their fund which details income, expenditure and fund balances for the period.

The Charity receives expenditure applications from staff throughout the year which are authorised by the fundholder and submitted to the Acting Company Secretary, who reviews all applications to ensure that they meet the objectives of the Charity for quality, value for money and patient benefit. Where an application exceeds £5,000 the fundholder is required to present the application to the Charity Committee for approval. Where any expenditure is considered inappropriate, feedback is given to the fund manager.

The Charity does not directly employ any staff; the Charity enjoys and values the services of volunteers, but is not wholly dependent on them. The Charity is not financially dependent upon the support of any individuals, corporations or specific classes of donors. No funds are held by the Charity on behalf of individuals.

Investments and Investment Policy

The Charity aims to enhance the value of its funds through sound investment.

Money is invested through CCLA Investment Management Limited and M&G Securities Ltd, with the aim of obtaining a return higher than the FTSE All Share Index (dividends reinvested). During the year, investments were held in the following proportions:

Reserves

ESHTCF hold reserves that are considered to be needed to fund planned expenditure. The Charity acknowledges that charitable donations received need to be spent on patient and staff amenities wherever possible and should not be used to build up reserves.

The reserves of the Charity at 31 March 2022 consisted of £2,153,000 unrestricted funds and £218,000 restricted funds. The Charity regularly reviews all funds held to ensure they remain active and where appropriate, a fund which is inactive for a period greater than 18 months will be closed and the funds transferred to the most relevant quality general fund to ensure that they are spent in a timely manner.

Governing Document

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and reviewed with systems established to mitigate them. The Charity relies on and benefits from the financial controls framework of ESHT.

The most significant risks identified were:

  1. possible losses from a fall in the value of the investments; and

  2. reputational damage leading to a sudden and dramatic fall in donations.

Both risks have been carefully considered and mitigating procedures put in place. Regular review of the investment policy ensures that both spending income. Both income and expenditure are monitored by the Committee on a quarterly basis in order that any trends can be identified at an early stage in order to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves.

Page 26

Future plans

In accordance with Charity Commission directives, it is the Charity’s continued intention to expend funds for the benefit of both staff and patients.

Over the two years of the pandemic, the Charity has taken the opportunity offered to review the way it works, improving governance, reviewing the way in which our funds are invested and making plans for the future.

A strategy is being developed that will increase the Charity’s visibility, and we plan to rebrand the charity with a new shorter name and logo. A new website and improved social media presence are being planned which will all help the charity to become better known and therefore lead to increased donations.

In addition the charity is also looking at ways that it can work more closely with the Friends of ESHT’s hospitals, using our resources to support the amazing work that they do for the Trust. It has been a challenging period of time for many charities and we can be stronger by working together. The charity’s switch to a corporate Trustee has helped to review, refresh and refocus our activities and operations, improve governance and working model models.

We hope that as we come out of the pandemic, the work we have done during this difficult period will ensure that we have a more robust, responsive charity which is able to use its resources to support ESHT and its staff in the best way possible.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met, or

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as corporate trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement above.

Respective responsibilities of corporate trustee and examiner

The charity’s corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 149(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity's trustee has prepared the charity's accounts in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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) issued in October 2019 in preference to the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005)' issued in April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 but has been withdrawn. I understand that the charity's trustee has done this in order for the charity's accounts to give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

Notes to the Accounts

  1. Accounting Policies

1.1. Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain investments at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties affecting the accounts or the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and that no subsequent events have been identified which would be material and would require adjustment in the statements to 31/03/2022. The Trustee confirms that they are satisfied that charity reserves are more than sufficient to cover ongoing liquidity needs and pay creditors as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the statements.

1.2. Income Recognition

All income is recognised and included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met:

Income from legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the Charity’s control to fulfil.

1.3. Expenditure Recognition

The accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. This includes grants paid to NHS bodies.

Support and Governance costs are accounted for on an accruals basis and are recharges of appropriate proportions of the ESHT costs, audit or independent examination fees, fund raising consultancy, support for the accounting software and Trustee Indemnity Insurance.

Support and Governance costs are apportioned across all funds based on the average fund balance for the year.

All items of expenditure under £5,000 are treated as revenue.

1.4. Structure of funds

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 10.

1.5. Investment Fixed Assets

Investment fixed assets are shown at bid price, which is used to measure fair value for accounting purposes of shares that are traded in an active market. The investments are valued at closing unit prices and the net gains and losses on revaluations and disposals are included on the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.6. Gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening fair value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between fair value at the year end and opening fair value (or date of purchase if later).
