MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Karen Manson Chair of Charitable Funds Committee

2022-2023 was a challenging year for the East Sussex NHS Healthcare Charity. Most charities have reported reduced incomes and a decrease in the vital support provided by volunteers in the wake of the Covid pandemic. These changes are likely to have long term consequences and so, along with many other charities, we are resetting our priorities and refocusing our efforts. This annual report describes some of our achievements and the ways in which we support our patients and staff, together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

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 2022/23 was £108,000 pounds, down from £369,000 prepandemic (2019/2020). Nonetheless this is still a great achievement, given that a number of fundraising events had to be cancelled or had not been reinstated after the pandemic. 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 income we have raised has benefited patients across East Sussex and this report demonstrates just how much of a difference the charity has made, and can continue to make, with the invaluable backing of our supporters.

Also, a big thank you to those individuals who have served on our Charity 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 and want to be part of our story – whether as a fundraiser, donor, volunteer or committee member. Please do email me (karen.manson1@nhs.net) if you would like to get involved.

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

Walk for Wards

We participated in Sussex Community NHS Charity Walk For Wards uniting with other NHS Charities across Sussex for this truly marvellous fundraiser!

Held at the beautiful Glynde Estates, near Lewes, the challenge was to walk, jog or run the 5k or 10k route and it raised over £2,000 for East Sussex Healthcare NHS Charity. The money supported projects that go above and beyond what core NHS funding provides.

We partnered with Heads On (Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s charity), and SASH Charity (Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust’s charity) to deliver Walk For Wards, and participants chose to raise funds for the NHS Charity that means the most to them.

It was a fantastic opportunity to raise funds while also having a lovely day out with friends, family and colleagues.

Participants were encouraged to raise a minimum of £50, which could fund additional equipment or diagnostic tools to enhance patient care, contribute to activities that boost staff morale, buy essential items for patient discharge gift baskets or even help to spruce up a waiting area to improve patient experience.

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.

Risk Management

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

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.

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

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 2023 consisted of £1,888,000 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.

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.

A strategy has been developed that will lead to increased visibility and awareness for the Chairty. A new website is being developed, along with a new Charity logo, this will formally launch in early 2024. Improved social media presence, and a push to expand the charity’s lottery are hoped to drive an increase in donations, and in particular funds for general use rather than those donated to a particular service or ward.

The charity continues to work closely with Friends of Eastbourne Hospital, Friends of Conquest Hospital, The League of Friends of Bexhill Hospital, The Friends of the Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital and The League of Friends of Uckfield Community Hospital, using our resources to support the amazing work that they do for the Trust.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE OF EAST SUSSEX HEALTHCARE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

www.esht.nhs.uk

Page 30

Independent examiner's report to the corporate trustee of East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund

I report on the accounts of East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund (the "charity") for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 32 to 47.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity's trustees have 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 trustees have 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.

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

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 trustees 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 below.

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 31/03/2023. 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.

www.esht.nhs.uk

Page 36

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 between the unrestricted funds based on the average fund balance for the year.
