During 2025126 the trustees will again review fund balances and the overall future cbjectives and direction of the

The Trustees can confirm thatthey have paid due regardtothe guidance on public benefit in deciding what aclivities
the charily should undertake. This guidance is based on two principles..
l - there must be an identifiable benefit or benefrts.
2- benefrt musl be to the public, or a section of the public,
These principles are demonstrated in the charities strategic objectives and activities above.
Activities for Achieving Objectives
The charty is funded by donations andlor legacies received from patients, their relatives, the general public and
other external organisations. The overall strategy of the Charlty is to provide support to the above Trusts by the
following means:_
Patients ExpendÈture -
purchase small equipment, provision of services and the provision of facilities not
normally provided by or in addition to the normal NHS provision.
a) motivation of staff, by improving staff facilities and by providing services that
improves staff wellbeing.
Staff Expenditure -
b) education of staff by providing education over and above what would nornially
be provided by the NHS.
Capital Equipment -
equipment in addition to that normally provided by the NHS.
Achlevements and Performance of the Charitable Funds
During the year, the designated funds continued to support a wide range of charitable and heatth related activities
benefiting both patients and staff.
To fulfil thè charitable aims and objectives, the strategy of the South Staffordshire Communily and Mental Health
CharÉtable Fund is to support it5 related constituent bodies by providing funds to benefrt patients by purchasing
supplementary and complimentary equipment or services for which the related NHS organisation are unable to
provide funding through exchequer sources. For example, charitable funds were used to purchase equipment to
complement what had already been provided for at various hospital sites.
The charity does not actively fundraise and relies upon the generosity of the patients and their relatives and other
donors who are familiar with or have experienced the care of the participating NHS Trusts or who are sympathetic
and generous in their support to their local NHS service.
In line with the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 section 13 the charity would like to make tt
clearthat no person is employed by the charity to carry cut its activities forthe purpose of fundraising as previously
stated the charity does not actively fundraise and relies upon the generosity of the patien15 and their relatives and
other donors. Therefore, there is no undertaking to be bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fund-raising,
or any voluntary standard of fund raising in respect of activities on behalf of the charity, or failure to comply with
the scheme or any monÉtoring of complaints or protection of vulnerable people and other member5 Of the public in

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are frea from material
misststement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issuè an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonablo assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS IUKI will always detect
matertal misstatefnent when it exists. Misstatemènts can arise from fraud or error and are considered material il, individual ly
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material rnisstalements in resp6ct of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which
our prO￿dUreS are capabl8 of detecting irregularities, inGluding fraud is detailed below".

we focused on specnlc laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effert on tho financial
Statements or the op8rations of the charity, including the financial reporting legislation, Charities Act 2011, taxation
legislation, anti-bribery, employment. and environmental and health and safety legislation..
we assessed the extent of compliance with Ihe18ws and reyulations identified above through making enquiries of
management and inspecting legal corresponden¢e' and
identified laws and regulations We￿ communicated within the audlt team regularly and the team remained alert to
instances of non-compliancè throughout the audit.

making enquiries of managem6nt as to where they considered there was susceplibility lo fraud, their knowledge of
actual, susperted and alleged fraud.. and
¢onsidering the intemal controls in place lo mitigats risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overridè of Controls, we..
perfomed analytscal procedures to identify 8ny unusu81 or unexpected relationships.,
lesled joumal entries to identify unusual transactions..
assessed whetherjudgements and a55umptions made in éeteTmining the accounting estimates set out in nota 1 wer8
indicative of potential bias- and
invèsligatsd the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularÉties and non<ompliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included.

BerALt5e of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is 8 risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading to
a material misstatement in the financial statemenls or non-compliance wfrth regulation. This risk increases the more that
compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transacttons reflected in the financial statements, as we
will bè less likely to become aware of instan￿S of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring
due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concèalment forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). the Charkties Act 2011 and UK
Generally Accepted Practice,
The charity does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is not a larger charity.
The financial statements have be8n prepared to givo a 'true and fair, view and have departed from the
Charities {Accounts and Reports) RegulatlDns 2008 only to the extent required lo provide a 'true and fair
view,. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities". Statement of
Recommenéed Practsce applicable to charibes preparing their accounts in accordanca with the Financial
R8POrting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 issued on 16 July 2014 rather than
the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005
which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statsments are prepared on a going concErn basis and are prepared in sterling which is the
functional currency of the charity and rounded to the ne8r&st£l.000.
The significant accounting policies applied in the prepgration of ihese financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been Gonsistently applied to all years presented unless otherwisestat8d_
Ib) Golng Concprn
The financial ststements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustses believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of
income and expenditure for 12 months from approving these financial statements. Tha budgeted income and
expenditure is sufficient with the level of rèserves for the charity to be able to Gontinue as a going concem.
Icl
Fund Accounting
Where there is a legal restrictton on the purpose lo which a fvnd may be put, the fund is olassified either as
an endowment fund, where the donor has expressly provided that only thè income of the fund may be
expended, or as a restiicled income fund where thè donor has provided for the donation to be spent in
furtheranc8 of a spectfied oharitable purpose.
Unrestricted income funds are sub analysed between designated fvnd5 where the trustees have set aside
amounts to be used for specific purposes, often reflecting the non binding wishes of the donors, and
unrestricted funds which are applicable for any purpose of the charity. The Trustees are responsible for
administering the funds of six NHS bodies. To clarify Ihe reporting of th? funds the trustses have designated
(earmarked) the funds for each of the six n8med charities withir) the group regislration.
Idl In¢omlng Resources
Income is recognised once Ihe charity has entidement to the income. It is probable that the inwme will be received
and the amount of incom8 re￿Ivable can be measured roliably.
lel
Incoming Resources from Logaclgs
For legacies, entÉttement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or thè18gacy
being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity
however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the
legacy is treafrd as a contingent asset and disdosed.

ly)
Expenditure

aggregate all ¢osts related to the ¢ategory. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make payment lo a third paty. il is probable that settlement will be
required and the amount of the obligation can be measurèd roliably.
Grants are only made to related or Ihird party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies in furtherance of
the charilable objedives of the funds. A liability for such grants is recoynised when approval has
been given by the Trustees. Those NHS bodies which have nominaled representatives have full
knowledge of the plans of the Truslees, therefore a grant approval is taken lo constitute a firm
intention of payment which has been communicated lo the participaling NHS body. and so a liability
is recognised.
Contractual arrangements are recognised a5 goods or services are supplied.
{h)

apportiolled between categories, for example financial administration costs, on the basis of the fund
balance within the accounting period for each category of charitable a¢tivity and this is analys&d in
nol8 4.
o)
Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activitles Qomprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the
charity. These costs. where not wholly altributable, are apportionèd between categories of the
