Structure, Governance and Management

The main Charity is an NHS Charity as defined within the NHS Charities guidance (1 February 2012) and was created by the Declaration of Trust made on 19[th] March 1997. The Corporate Trustee is the Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust). The Executive Directors and the Non-Executive Directors of the Trust share the responsibility for ensuring that the NHS body fulfils its duties as Corporate Trustee in managing the charitable fund.

The Board of the Trust has delegated the responsibility of managing the charitable fund to the Charitable Funds Committee. The Director of Finance is responsible for the day-to-day management and control of the administration of the charitable funds and chairs the Charitable Funds Committee. The Director of Finance has responsibility to ensure that spending is in accordance with the objectives and priorities agreed by the Charitable Funds Committee and the Board; that the criteria for spending the charitable funds are fully met; proper accounting records are maintained; and that devolved decision-making or delegated arrangements are in accordance with the policies and procedures set out by the Board on behalf of the Corporate Trustee and approves items of expenditure above the delegated limits of the fund holders.

The Charitable Funds Committee reviews the performance of the external investment manager and ensures that the investment of funds is in accordance with the Charity’s policy on ethical investment. The Committee approves the appointment and the terms of business of the investment manager and approves items of expenditure above the delegated limits of the fund holders.

Regular reports are produced on financial activity and fundraising programmes and are presented to the Charitable Funds Committee.

During the financial year 2021-22, Charitable Funds Committee has decided to consolidate the existing delegated funds by merging them into thematic groups. Committee believe this is a positive step forward in the evolution of the Homerton Hope Charity to enable more effective and equitable use of the charitable funds. All thematic group funds are managed by the Charitable Funds Committee.

During the financial year, charity has amended its name to Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds to be in line with the Corporate Trustee.

The Trust recognises that a well governed Charitable Funds Committee is essential if the Charity is to be effective in achieving its objectives. The Committee must seek to be representative of the people with whom the Charity works and must have available to it all of the knowledge and skills required to run the Charity.

Individual Committee Members must have sufficient knowledge, both of trusteeship in general and of the Charity's activities, to enable them to carry out their role and to represent the Charity at meetings and other events. Any new appointee is required to have these skills.

Designated funds policy:

Designated funds are set up at the charitable trustees’ discretion when a request has been made to the trustees. The trustees will ensure the continuity of the income/ expenditure streams and the charitable benefits to the hospital before deciding on setting up new designated funds.

Restricted funds policy:

Public benefit statement

Our Charity’s objective is to provide support for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Services provided by Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust including services provided to the community. The Trustees ensure that this purpose is carried out for the public benefit by working to the strategic objectives.

Our charitable organisation is set up to benefit patients and their families and the staff of Homerton Hospital. Our grants are structured to ensure that the money raised is used to best effect to support the hospital’s work and is in line with donor’s wishes and the charity’s mission and objectives.

The Charity does not provide facilities directly to the public but provides them to the hospital, in so doing, for the patients of the hospital.

Grants made to the hospital do not focus on the income of patients but provide a benefit to any patient requiring the services of the hospital, which are available to all entitled to NHS treatment based on need.

Review of Achievements and Performance

During 2021/22, the charity continued to support a wide range of charitable and health related activities, benefiting patients and staff in a variety of areas.

The Covid-19 pandemic continued, and we were fortunate to receive donated items to support our staff throughout the ongoing situation. We are still working through some of the projects that had been planned during the previous financial year that were halted due to the pandemic.

Generally, funds are used to provide specialist staff, goods and services which would not have been possible using NHS funding. Some of the activities that happened over the past year are described below.

Peer navigators project

With the help of another donation from the MAC Aids Fund the Charity has been able to support the running of a peer navigators’ programme. This project helps patients build confidence to seek employment, navigate the complex and ever-changing social care system, and to provide support in living well with HIV.

Art programme

The therapeutic value of art in health and in speeding recovery is well documented. The Trust has always displayed artwork in its wards, corridors and courtyards. Based in the heart of Hackney, the hospital provides an excellent blank canvas for artists to display their work to patients, staff and visitors. Charitable funds are used to fund art therapy sessions in the Elderly Care Unit, the Graham Stroke Unit and the Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (RNRU). These were in valuable with patient recovery.

Christmas presents for inpatients

The charity continued its annual tradition of providing small gifts to patients who were staying in hospital during Christmas 2021.

Staff welfare

The charity provided funding for a number of wellbeing initiatives and supported our Networks including Rainbow, Enabled and Together We Rise. Contributions were also made to support the work of the Healthy Homerton Project.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of accounting

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16th July 2014 and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

1.2 Income

i) entitlement - arises when there is control over the rights or other access to the resource, enabling the charity to determine its future application;

ii) certainty - when there is reasonable certainty that the incoming resource will be received; and

iii) measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

i) assets given for use by the funds e.g. property for its own occupation are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources when receivable; and

ii) gifts made in kind but on trust for conversion into cash and subsequent application of the funds are included in the accounting period in which the gift is sold.

In all cases the amount at which gifts in kind are recognised in these accounts is at the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt to the Charitable Fund or the amount actually realised on disposal of the gift. Where gifts in kind are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at fair value, the value is based on the estimated price the charitable fund would have to pay to acquire the asset in the open market. The basis of the valuation is disclosed in the annual report.

During the financial year 21-22, charity has received number of gifts as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. These were mainly from the local community, businesses, grateful patients and their families. Various food items, toiletries, services, discounts for staff and vouchers are some of the gifts in kind received. All these gifts were immediately distributed amongst the hospital staff.

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.

During the year 21-22 a legacy donation of £181,049 was received from a patient.

Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund Annual Accounts as at 31 Mar 2022 (formerly Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund)

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Raising funds:

Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs incurred in generating fundraising income.

Charitable activities:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
