## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

The Trustees confirm that the Trustees’ Report and financial statements of the company comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS102), second edition, effective 1 January 2019). 

Since the company qualifies as small under Section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **a. The need for our charity** 

Too many patients are still diagnosed late. Too many patients feel isolated. Too many patients have a poor quality of life. Too many failings still occur in the care of pituitary patients. Too few patients feel supported, informed and able to manage their condition. The need for our charity is clear and we continue to work to improve care, and the experience, of people affected by pituitary conditions. 

## **b. Core aims** 

## **Our Vision** 

Every person affected by a pituitary condition has a timely diagnosis and access to high quality treatment, information and support. 

## **Our mission** 

From the moment someone is diagnosed with a pituitary condition, through their treatment and beyond, we're here providing support, information and a community. We empower people who have pituitary conditions and work towards greater awareness and understanding of pituitary disease. 

## **Our Values** 

We are trustworthy We are open We are knowledgeable We are patient led We are caring 

## **Our 2019 - 2022 Strategic Goals** 

Our vision and goals for the future were previously published in our strategic plan 2019 - 2022. The plan includes our four strategic pillars, and from these identifies eleven realistic and achievable strategic goals designed to achieve our vision. 

The four strategic pillars are: - Support - Community - Voice 

- Education

**THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

## **Support** 

Our ambition is that anyone affected by pituitary conditions feels supported. Our goals for this Strategic Pillar include: 

Goal 1 - Providing modern, high quality, trusted and person-centred support services. 

Goal 2 - Developing our support services to reach a more diverse audience, including young people and families. 

## **Community** 

Our ambition is to build a stronger network and community of people who are passionate about improving the patients' experience. Our goals for this Strategic Pillar include: 

Goal 3 - Growing our membership and audience further through developing our digital offering and engagement. 

Goal 4 - Developing our volunteering team. 

Goal 5 - Developing our network of local support groups and effective regional 

- partnerships with The Foundation leading treatment centres and groups. 

- Goal 6 - Further involving and engaging with members, supporters and services users, to gain feedback and develop user-led services. 

## **Voice** 

Our ambition is to raise awareness and amplify the voices of people affected by pituitary conditions, and to represent their interests. Our goals under this Strategic Pillar include: 

Goal 7 - Representing the needs and experiences of people affected by pituitary conditions. Goal 8 - Participating in opportunities to influence policy relating to pituitary conditions and to work with others to raise awareness of pituitary conditions and rare diseases. 

## **Education** 

Our ambition is to improve knowledge and understanding of pituitary conditions so that standards of care are improved. Our goals for this Strategic Pillar include: 

Goal 9 - Providing high quality up-to-date information. 

Goal 10 - Building closer relationships with health care professionals and championing improvements in the education and training of healthcare professionals. 

Goal 11 - Building alliances with other organisations in order to share resources and knowledge. 

## **c. Volunteers** 

The Foundation is fortunate to have a widespread team of dedicated volunteers who take on a variety of roles to provide support and service to our community. These include: 

- Area Coordinators of Local Support Groups 

- Helpline Operators 

- National Office Volunteers 

- Telephone Buddies 

- Volunteer campaigners 

- Local Fundraising Group Coordinators 

- Medical Committee 

- Trustees 

There was a reduction in our volunteers largely due to the pandemic reducing opportunities for activity. At the end of June 2022 there were 107 volunteers working on behalf of the Foundation. 

The pandemic was also challenging for our Local support Groups, which often rely on face to face meetings. Several Local Support Groups closed, with longstanding leaders retiring after invaluable work.  Some local 

Page 3 



**THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

support groups remain in ‘hibernation’ until it is safe for meetings to resume, others are assessing their future. In total there are 22 groups operating around the United Kingdom, together with a group in the Republic of Ireland. 

## **d. Public benefit** 

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's requirement in respect of Public Benefit. In their view the charity meets, in full, the criteria to satisfy the test. The Trustees' Annual Report describes the activities undertaken to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

While Covid continued to influence things during this financial year, the year was dominated by significant staff change.  After 10 years of excellent leadership Menai Owen-Jones stood down as CEO of the Charity.  Her stewardship has seen the Foundation significantly increase its income, reach more patients than ever and build a strong, resilient base with rigorous policies and procedures complementing its financial strength and excellent governance.  We are grateful for her work and her legacy. 

During the year Sammy Harbut, Sian Pitman and Miranda Payne also left for new roles.  Each of them contributed hugely to the work we do, but also to the team spirit and commitment that saw us successfully navigate the pandemic. 

This staff change was a very difficult period internally, but the team withstood and performed brilliantly meeting every deadline and ensuring ‘business as usual’ on all fronts. Trustees took on considerable responsibility in supporting and working alongside staff in this period of transition and supporting the recruitment process. Particular thanks should go to Phil Rouse, Honorary Treasurer, who was present in the Bristol office, and supported staff, undertaking many of the CEO responsibilities in the interim. 

We were pleased to welcome Darshna Patel, our second endocrine specialist nurse, Lottie Storey, our Communications Officer and Ren Renwick, our new CEO, to the team during the year. 

The second half of the year focused on putting plans for the future in place.  This is the final year of the current strategy, and the staff and trustees worked on developing our plans for the coming years. Alongside this work we started to refresh the brand, move to a new CRM system and develop the website. Much of this activity will be completed in the following financial year. 

The foundation was given notice to leave their office of 24 years in Colston Street.  We worked with commercial property agents to look for a new office, and appointed solicitors to advise on our legal position given the situation.  Since the year end we have moved to our excellent new office, within the same landlords’ portfolio. 

Our work would not be possible without our volunteers.  The pandemic has been a challenging time for face to face meetings, and we are hugely grateful for the tenacity and ingenuity that has been evident in our volunteers, especially in keeping a momentum for local support groups. 

The Trustees wish to thank everyone for their contributions and commitment to the charity throughout this year. We are continually grateful for the dedication, passion and commitment of staff and volunteers. 

## **Support** 

Our **helplines** are our engine, supporting patients day to day.  We responded to almost 2,500 enquiries in the last year, with almost half being emails.  Due to a lack of use we retired the text service and online forum. Our **helpline volunteers** are skillful, empathetic listeners and we would like to thank them for their ongoing work, often in difficult times.  We offer training and updates for volunteers and create space for feedback, and are currently recruiting new volunteers into this invaluable role. 

The Endocrine nurse helpline remains invaluable to patients, with excellent feedback underlining its often lifesaving role.  The demand on this line continues to increase and the appointment of Darshna Patel has been an excellent service improvement.

**THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

## Some feedback includes: 

_“Friendly people who understand your every question, as well as being able to answer your questions”_ 

_“I honestly believe in my early days the input & help from folk at The Pituitary Foundation actually saved my life!”_ 

We have worked to revise the way in which we collate and interpret helpline data to help us provide the most relevant service now and in the future. 

We produced 3 editions of our magazine **Pituitary Life,** which continues to get excellent feedback from members, and we will continue to evolve its content and design to ensure accessibility and relevance.   In the words of readers: 

_“Arrived today, lovely bright cheerful cover, thank you. Always helpful and interesting read”_ 

_“Got mine today, lovely to read all the stories in it.”_ 

_“Thanks for the latest edition. Especially for the article on low mood. It's very timely since I have recently contacted the local mental health services. I'll mention this article at my next session. And I do like the cover of the magazine also.”_ 

We continue to develop our **online and print resources** , including a new video about Diabetes Inspidus with Professor John Wass and board member and patient Debbie Cooper.  The Patient and Family services team developed new factsheets available for free on the website including factsheets on fertility and recognising adrenal crisis. 

The ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic meant we could not plan for a face-to-face **conference** .  Work was undertaken to develop a programme of online and face to face talks through October comprising awareness month, which falls in the next financial year. 

## **Community** 

We undertook a review of our **Local Support Groups** , recognising that we had a number of area coordinators who wished to retire.  As noted above several groups remain in ‘hibernation’ following the pandemic, while others have closed.  We are grateful for the continued support that Area Coordinators provide and look forward to engaging new groups for the post pandemic landscape. 

We have given talks at Local Support Group Zoom meetings, for example our Nurse Specialist Pauline Whittingham generously sharing her knowledge and insights around sick day rules and crisis recognition with the Aberdeen group. 

Our **membership** was 2,089 (down from 2,215 in June 2021) at the end of June 2022.  We are grateful for the ongoing support that our members offer us and will look to review our membership scheme in the coming year to offer increased benefit. 

Our **online community** continued to grow, with over 10,000 followers on Instagram and twitter and over 35,000 on Facebook.  Our newsletters reach around 8,000 and enjoy a strong open rate.  We have developed our newsletters, refining content for relevance. 

We have continued with our popular virtual events, restarted #PitHour which has improved twitter engagement, and also held some successful Facebook live sessions in a Q&A style. 

Work was undertaken towards the development of a new **website -** a comprehensive brief has been developed building on scoping work done in the last financial year.  The new site will aim to ensure accessibility of information, and greater findability through google searches.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

We have underlined the importance of **equality and inclusion** in all our work by active questioning and engagement.  We have implemented Userway on the website allowing users to set the readability for their own needs and will continue with further training and learning in this area. 

Our community of Volunteers remains vital to us, and we celebrated their contribution through Volunteer week in June with a virtual appreciate wall and personal stories.  This was a heart-warming outpouring of the value we place on all our volunteers.  We are delighted to recruit new volunteers to various roles, ensuring an ongoing relevance and legacy. 

## **Voice** 

We published our **2021 Patient Survey,** which drew together feedback from 982 patients. 98% had received NHS endocrine care in the past 3 years. Of those leaving comments, a number of areas of concern for the pituitary patient group were identified. 

The results were startling, highlighting some significant issues in the systems that patients navigate.  Whilst there were some instances of good quality care, there were many examples where care has fallen below a standard that should be expected, with potentially life-threatening consequences. 

Immediate remedial action and improved communication are clearly needed. The good news is that we believe this is achievable in the short term, and we would hope this can be extended in the longer term. 

There is a clear urgency to raise awareness and increase education around pituitary conditions in GP, emergency and non-endocrine settings.  Within endocrinology, patient experiences are patchy. It is interesting that this is often due to communication – which ought to be simple, and arguably easy to remedy. 

We have partnered with the Society for Endocrinology and brought together a working group to address key areas in the survey, which will be central to our work over the coming years. 

Our **research work** continues.  We held our annual update for Pharmaceutical companies virtually in February 2022, and continue to work with companies on specific research and projects.  For example, we have worked with Novo Nordisk on their Growth Hormone website & pen recycle launch.  We worked with Pfizer on a new patient website for acromegaly, and brought the patient voice to many other companies helping to produce the best possible outcomes for patients in the future. 

We continue to work with psychologist Dr Sue Jackson, including projects focusing on: 

- Research into the transition of pituitary patients from pediatric to adult services 

- Research to build a picture of Domestic Violence amongst Pituitary patients 

- Research led by Cushings UK, following a Netherlands based study, working towards an online intervention supporting patients with psycho-social aspects of living with Cushings 

- • Research into incidentalomas and the psycho-social issues associated with being told you have a brain tumor as a result of tests for something else 

- Research into the support needs of families and carers of Pituitary patients. 

We have fed into the NICE **consultation** on adrenal insufficiency: acute and long term management. 

Alongside this we **advocate** for our patients. Working with one of our long term volunteers, Peter O’Malley, we have sought to raise awareness of pituitary conditions in Parliament.  We are engaged with the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives over patient safety procedures, and continue to advocate for the Patient Safety Alert and Steroid Emergency Card. 

## **Education** 

We maintained an active presence at relevant **conferences** , including the British Endocrine Society conference in Edinburgh and the Society for Endocrinology clinical meeting in Birmingham in April. 

Page 6 



## **THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

We collaborated with Addisons and other endocrine charities to present slides (virtually) on ‘Preventing Adrenal Crisis: The importance of dialogue between patient and clinician’ at the European Society for Endocrinology in May. 

We worked with Consilient to publish a poster about the burden of IST to patient and healthcare staff, presented at this conference as well. 

Pat McBride sits on the **BSPED endocrinology group,** and we are active members of patient organisation collaborations and meetings seeking to share knowledge and leverage benefit for our patients. 

We remain an engaged partner with **WAPO** (World Alliance of Pituitary Organisations), attending virtual meetings and we are pleased to partner with them for our October Awareness month programme. 

## **Internal Work** 

## **Internal Assurance** 

As ever, we continued to work on our charity governance, focusing on a number of areas including data protection, data and cyber security. 

**Policies and Insurance.** Gabrielle Welland undertook an extensive review of our Policies & Procedures, ensuring these are up to date and easily accessible.  They remain under regular review. We continue to seek best value for comprehensive insurance. 

**Health and Safety.** We ensured we followed all government guidance for staff in the workplace relating to Covid, and engaged H&S Dept for an additional year to advise us during the pandemic.  Our yearly Fire Assessment was completed in January 2022. 

**Digitization.** Our IT support function worked on our server to ensure recoverability alongside our work to establish a new regime for website back-ups. Martin Cookson set up internal and external security scans on our main website which resolved all vulnerabilities. 

Alongside our amazing volunteer Steve Hurley, the team are working to digitize our gift aid declarations, an important step is moving to a paper free office. 

**Website and Data Management.** Marc Goblot and Zoe Amar delivered a Systems Review report for us, identifying nine application areas that need to be updated, the main ones being: a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM), Content Management System (CMS) and Digital eCommerce System. 

Their main recommendation is that we implement a new CRM system first, closely followed by a new website, shop and payment platform.  Work was undertaken to research and engage specialist providers in CMS, CRM and brand.  This work will be delivered in the next financial year. 

## **Financial review** 

When the financial year started, Covid was still a threat to our Events-led income, and we budgeted quite cautiously, anticipating that we might make a modest loss for the year. The departure of long time CEO Menai Owen-Jones in September 2021 exacerbated things further. 

So it is all the more pleasing to be able to report that the charity managed to navigate successfully through the year, making a surplus for the third year running. With Jay Sheppard leading the fundraising efforts, the whole team did a fantastic job of maintaining all of the charity’s services and delivering a solid financial result. 

We were once again overwhelmed by the generosity of so many of our supporters, and helped by a sizeable legacy from the Hawley family we reported income for the year of £468,087 and a net surplus of £3,302. We continued to manage our costs effectively, aided by the period without CEO cost.

## **THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

The surplus for the year added to our accumulated reserves, such that we ended the year with cash resources of £426,694 and reserves of £499,934. It is a great help to be facing the many challenges now in front of us, with pressure on our costs and on our generous supporters, in such a robust financial position. This strength enables us to invest in the charity’s infrastructure and resource at a time when other charities are pulling in the reins. 

## **Funders** 

The Foundation enjoys an extraordinary amount of support from its community. We wish to extend our special thanks to those companies, trusts and organisations who offer ongoing, long-term financial support which is essential to the stability of our work. 

We organised several successful events through this financial year, including a Four Falls Trek raising £2,500, The Snowden trek, raising £2,250, and a Zip World event raising £5,100.  A large team took part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon where runners raised £16,500 for the Foundation. Alongside this we generated over £11,000 in our Christmas card sales, and saw great engagement with our raffles. 

A number of people competed in various events through the year to raise funds for our work.  Notably Garry Park ran his successful Golf For Isabella day in October, seeing the busiest year ever with over 80 golfers. Ketan Mistry completed the World Marathon Majors and raised over £3,000 in the process and Minal Shah and 56 friends and family took the 1 million step challenge and raised over £10,000 collectively.  We would like to thank everyone who undertook challenges to support us. 

As always, we are extremely grateful to our corporate supporters, especially Brandwells Construction Ltd, Buchanan and Leighton Harris, and Orbis Investment Advisory ltd.  We also would like to thank the various pharmaceutical companies who have supported our work through the year. 

## **Gifts in Wills** 

Several very generous individuals left us gifts in their wills during the year and we are extremely grateful to them for thinking of us. They were: 

- Mr. Anthony Hawley 

- Mrs Susan Cooper 

- Miss Jacqueline Shinn 

- Mrs Evelyn Buxton 

- Mrs Alison Dummer 

- Dr Elizabeth Sears 

Indeed, the legacy of the late Susan Cooper proved to be a fitting legacy that will provide long term benefit to patients living in Susan’s local community, the Solent area. Thanks to Sue’s generous gift we were able to fund one of our Endocrine Nurse Helpline Nurses for an entire year to help pituitary patients on a national level, and we also implemented three information points at hospitals on the Isle of Wight, in Portsmouth and Southampton.  All three of these hospitals now have information stands with resources and publications provided by The Pituitary Foundation for an indefinite period, all thanks to the estate of the late Susan Cooper. 

## **Trusts & Foundations** 

We would also like to extend our thanks to the following Trusts and Foundations for their very generous support during 2021/22: 

- James Tudor Foundation – funding for our Second Endocrine Nurse 

- Lotus Charitable Foundation 

- Thompson Family Foundation 

- Westfield Health ‘Giving Back’ Committee 

- Nationwide Building Society Foundation 

- Christopher Lane Foundation 

- The D’Oyly Carte Foundation 

- Arnold Clark Community Fund 

- The Kelton Trust 

- The Gilander Foundation

**THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

## **a. Incoming resources** 

In 2021/22 The Foundation reported income of £468,087 compared to £517,882 in the previous financial year. 

The Trustees wish to express their appreciation to all of our fundraisers, members, supporters and donors for all they do to assist our efforts to maintain help and support to our community. 

## **b. Resources expended** 

Diligent control of existing expenditure was maintained and the Foundation staff have ensured that bought-in services are reviewed regularly to ensure best value for money. 

## **c. Investment Policy and performance** 

The Foundation's funds, both general and restricted are maintained with NatWest, in current accounts and a working reserve account and an online current account for the payment of suppliers and expenses is held with RBS. In addition, deposit accounts (to the maximum of the FSA Investor Compensation Scheme) are also held with RBS, Cater Allen, the Monmouthshire Building Society, Cambridge and Counties Bank, Julian Hodge Bank and Virgin Money. During the year we took the decision to invest £100,000 of our funds into a portfolio of longer-term investments, advised by Smith & Williamson. 

We also reviewed our process of submitting Bi Annual returns by our LSG groups and are reviewing the need and use of bank accounts for some groups. 

All of the charity’s funds are subject to regular review by our Finance Sub Committee and we are working to streamline our use of accounts to secure the best value. During the year we opened an account with CAF giving us access to their Deposit Platform. We are now in a process of recovering funds from savings accounts, and placing those with banks via the Platform.  This will remove a considerable administrative burden, will ensure that the Foundation adheres to the UK banking FSC scheme, and manages its cash reserves across a mixture of instant access and longer term savings accounts at the best possible interest rates. 

The charity has a defined Investment Policy which has been developed in line with Charity Commission guidelines to secure income generation and manage risk. Since our investment funds were placed, it has been a challenging time in the markets, and at the year-end we had an unrealised loss on investments of £8,814.  These investments are intended to be held for the longer term and their value will fluctuate over time.  Their value has recovered significantly since the year end. 

The Trustees have a confident expectation that The Foundation will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have, therefore, used the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **d. Reserves policy** 

We have changed the way in which we view and manage our reserves as a whole this year. We plan to retain operational reserves representing 9 months of our annual costs, equating to around £300,000. The remaining funds, to be known as the Development Reserve and currently around £124,000, is available for investment in the charity’s infrastructure and in patient support.  In the coming financial year, a portion of these Development funds will be used to finance a new website and digital infrastructure. 

Free reserves are calculated as unrestricted reserves less designated funds and fixed assets. The free reserves of the Foundation at 30[th] June 2022 were £424,421 (2021: £436,792).

## **THE PITUITARY FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022** 

## **Plans for the future** 

A lot of preparatory work has been taken for realisation in the coming financial year. Since the year end we have moved to a new office, which offers many benefits including better internet connection and accessible premises. 

However, the heart of the work for next year is the development of a new strategy which will guide the Foundation for the coming years.  This strategy is being finalised at the time of writing, but will respond to a landscape like no other before.  The NHS is challenged, and the country faces an unprecedented cost of living crisis and broad economic uncertainty.  The needs of pituitary patients remain clear, however, and our role is more important than ever. 

We will establish a patient committee to work as a mirror to our medical committee and advise and guide our services.  We will seek to enhance our research and advocacy, ensuring we are investing in the future for pituitary patients. Our work around awareness and reduced diagnosis time will continue, along with our excellent education and support work.  Most fundamentally we will look to develop our wellbeing agenda, supporting people to live well with a lifelong condition, in whatever way is best for them. 

Alongside this work we will develop our website and refresh our brand.  We recognize that we need to reach and engage newly diagnosed patients and their support network, and that how we are perceived is a fundamental component of this. 

We will seek to strengthen our income generation further, exploring new approaches to ensure our sustainability and best engage those who wish to support our work. 

The year ahead offers many opportunities and we are confident the excellent team, passionate volunteers and engaged supporters will contribute to our successful support of patients. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Governing document** 

The Pituitary Foundation was established in 1994 and became a Company Limited by Guarantee and a Registered Charity in 1996. It is, therefore, governed by company law and the Charity Commission. 

Its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

Membership is encouraged and is open to all who wish to support The Pituitary Foundation; however, the principle services provided are available to all who require them regardless of membership. 

## **b. Appointment of Trustees** 

At each General Meeting (GM), one third of the Trustees retire by rotation. Any member of the Foundation may nominate any other member for a vacant Trustee position. If there are more nominations than vacancies, members are balloted and the result announced at the GM. In addition, the diversity and skills required by the Board are monitored by the Trustees and any identified under representation that occurs may result in advertising for prospective trustees that meet the specification. Trustees may then be co- opted onto the Board until the next GM at which time they must stand for reelection. 

## **c. Trustee induction and training** 

Trustees are inducted within three months of election. They are inducted at the National Support Office. At induction, the members of staff and the Chairman of the Trustees work with the new Trustee to explain the business, services, aims and objectives of The Foundation. At the time of induction, each Trustee is given a Trustee Induction Pack. Trustee training is undertaken on an ad hoc basis.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions**

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
