Individual Funds
There were 26 individual funds as at 1[st] April 2023 and 26 as at 31[st] March 2024.
Reserves Policy
Charitable Fund policy states that fund holders should endeavour to ensure that all donations should be expended when possible in line with the wishes of the donor, except where funds are being saved for a specific purpose (either restricted or designated funds). The money is not generated or donated to stay in the bank. The budget holders for each Trust fund are responsible for building reserves for their fund should this be deemed necessary, however at present no funds are saved for this purpose.
Risk Policy
The amount of funds held in respect of Charitable Funds is considered too small to support an investment portfolio. The Corporate Trustee does not consider there to be any major risks associated with the charitable funds due to the nature of the charitable activities undertaken. Funds spent during the year will be no more than the balance of reserves held.
Expenditure authorisation limits for Trust fund holders are standardised. This is in line with the Trust’s signatory authority matrix. This is to ensure that all expenditure for the Trust is authorised using the same processes throughout the Trust.
The charitable fund is reliant on voluntary income and donations to allow expenditure on charitable activities. If income falls then the expenditure would have to fall as a result of this. The NHS is also, by its nature, subject to changes in government policy and funding decisions, and so there is an inherent risk as a result of any unforeseen changes in the NHS.
Accounting
debited or credited at the time of a transaction. Transactions are processed though the ledger system. Any balance owing to or from the Fund is transferred between the Trust Fund Account and Oxleas’ bank account during the financial year.
Investment Policy
£142,000 remains on deposit with Lloyds (April 2023: £142,000). Interest in 2023/24 was earned at between 3% and 5% (2022/23: 1%) and was £6,964 in total (2022/23: £1,418).
Financial Review
During the year charitable funds of £59,000 (2022/23: £21,000) were generated, whilst in the same year expenditure totalled £119,000 (2022/23: £80,000), resulting in net expenditure of £60,000 (2022/23: £59,000 net expenditure). Donations remain a considerable source of income to the funds with £32,000 of income, with the remainder coming from charitable activities and returns on investments. Charitable activities represent £110,000 (92%) of the expenditure. The charitable funds amount to £391,000 (2022/23: £451,000), which means that the funds can continue to be expended in line with the above policies.
The Covid-19 fund saw a further £25k donation from NHS Charities Together, whilst the Greenwich Adults/ OPMH funds saw £10k of income through fund raising (largely the snack shops) as these returned to pre pandemic levels. £52k of expenditure was through ‘Staff Assemblies’, designed to make Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust a better place to work, whilst the Charitable fund entered a new agreement to sponsor the ‘South London Special League’ at £6k per annum for 3 years, which is used by a number of Oxleas service users.

Thank you
The Trust would like to thank our volunteers, 8 of whom manage our snack shops. Any profits from the shop are put into two Trust funds; one for Adult mental health patients within Oxleas House and the other being the Trust fund for older people. The funds are usually used to pay for entertainers on the wards, emergency clothing and toiletries, and also to keep the gardens in good condition for our patients, visitors and staff. The funds are also used to fund day trips to various places i.e. seaside trips and places of interest. We help pay towards decorations and food for themed party days throughout the year. The funds are also used for certain items of equipment on the ward and for celebrating special occasions for the patients.

How we manage your donations
The Charity makes grants from both its unrestricted and restricted funds to Trust staff for training purposes and issues other expenditure in relation to patient welfare, staff welfare and other expenditure. The largest 12 funds also incur an administration fee from Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. This administration fee and the independent examination fees are apportioned across the funds by size.
Unrestricted funds: These funds are received by the charity with no particular preference expressed by the donors as to how the money should be spent, or ringfenced for a designated location, but into a fund where there are no restrictions on how this money should be spent.
Restricted funds: These are funds donated for a specific purpose expressed by the donor into either a new fund created for a specific purpose or an existing restricted fund and are spent as such.
What we plan to do with your donations: our future plans
The Charitable Fund policy states that fund holders should endeavour to ensure that all donations should be expended within two years of receipt, and we will continue to ensure that donations are spent on enhancing patient care by funding a wide range of activities and training over and above the core services and facilities that are funded by the NHS. The pandemic affected activities during 2020-2022 financial years due to Infection Prevention and Control guidance. As this guidance eased in 2023/24, we expect to see our funds expended in line with the above policy.

Statement of Trustee responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy, at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent examiner's report to the corporate trustee of Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund
I report on the accounts of Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (the "charity") for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011;
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; and
to comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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 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.
Use of this report
This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. This report is made solely to the charity's corporate trustee, 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 trustee 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 trustee as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Notes to the Accounts
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102), applicable United Kingdom Financial Reporting Standards (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Trustee considers that the going concern basis is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements. No significant judgements have been exercised in preparing the financial statements as none of the charity’s operations require such judgement, similarly there no key sources of estimation uncertainty.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by charities SORP (FRS 102).
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
When there are terms or conditions attached to income then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms and 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. The above applies to all sources of income that appear on the Statement of Financial Activity, being Donations, Other trading activities, Interest income and Other incoming Resources.
1.3 Funds structure
Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund comprises ‘restricted income’ and ‘unrestricted income’ 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. All ‘unrestricted’ funds can be spent at the Trustee’s discretion. The major funds and material funds held in this category are disclosed in notes 11 and 12 of the Accounts. The Charity has no ‘endowment funds’.
1.4 Expenditure 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. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to make payment to a third party. VAT is irrecoverable and is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred
1.5 Analysis of governance and support costs
The Charitable Fund was charged £4,800 by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust (2022/23: £4,800) to cover the cost of Fund management and administration as no staff are directly employed by the charity and is charged £6,000 (including VAT) as an Independent examination fee by Grant Thornton UK LLP. The cost is apportioned between the largest twelve funds based on individual balances at the start of the financial year. The apportioned governance costs relating to restricted funds are accounted for under restricted funds and the apportioned governance costs for unrestricted funds are accounted for under unrestricted funds. These costs are included within the total cost of ‘charitable activities’.

6. Role of Volunteers
We have 8 volunteers who manage our two snack shops, one based in the Memorial Hospital, and one in Oxleas House. Any profits from the shop are put into two Trust funds one for adult mental health patients within Oxleas House and the other being the Trust fund for Older people. The funds are usually used to pay for entertainers on the wards, emergency clothing and toiletries, and to keep the gardens in good condition for our patients, visitors and staff. The funds are also used for certain items of equipment on the ward and for celebrating special occasions for the patients. The funds received in the snack shops have picked up slightly in the last year however is still lower than pre pandemic times due to the number of people working from home. The introduction of a credit card machine at the Memorial Hospital has helped to increase the takings at this location.
