Outside Queen’s Hospital in Burton and the Royal Derby Hospital stand two identical sculptures, one of which is pictured on the front cover of this report. The metal heart is filled with coloured glass panes which catch the sunlight. These beautiful structures have been placed there as a commemoration to those staff and patients we sadly lost during the COVID pandemic. We invited family and work colleagues to join us when we unveiled the sculptures last November. It was a poignant moment, reminding us of who and what we have lost during this most difficult time in the life of our hospitals and our nation.
The creation of these amazing sculptures was made possible through funds raised by Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity during the pandemic and through the work of Air Arts, who commissioned them. In the past year, the Charity has funded the expansion of Air Arts’ work to cover all our hospitals sites. Their work covers so much more than art installations in the grounds, impressive though they are. They provide art therapy sessions for both patients and staff, live music in the hospital, and encourage staff to pursue their creative passions through art, poetry, and photography clubs. For many patients and staff, creativity is one way to cope with ill health or stress at work, and the results can be both stunning and profound. We also know that being creative can aid recovery from stress or illness, and Air Arts are undertaking a long-term evaluation of their work to understand better what difference art makes in hospitals.
Another partnership the Charity was pleased to support was a project run by Treetops Hospice – the Roaming Nursing Service. This provided out of hours palliative care to patients at home, isolated by the pandemic and their terminal illness, and became a lifeline for the patients and their families. We were able to support this because Treetops patients are also our patients, so it made sense to support Treetops’ work in this way.
Both the partnership with Treetops and Air Arts also benefitted from funding received from NHS Charities Together, who raised £150 million during the pandemic. In this case Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity was able to match the funding offered by NHS Charities Together, which meant our funds were able to go further and achieve much more.
One conclusion we can draw from last year, is that whilst we have lost many dear friends and partners, we have also come together with new partners, and by working together will be able to provide greater benefits for our patients, staff, and visitors at all our hospitals, as well as supporting projects outside the hospital estate.
We will not forget the friends and colleagues we lost in the pandemic. And neither will we forget the gratitude we owe to you, and all those who have supported us financially and in other ways over the past year. Thank you again for all your support for Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity over the past year. We really appreciate it.
As Chair of University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB) who act as Corporate Trustee to the Charity, I am therefore delighted to present the annual report and accounts for Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity for the year ending 31[st] March 2022 in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

a) Mission Statement
To support the Trust in delivering 21[st] century healthcare, enhancing the patient experience for the people we serve.
b) Our Vision and Strategic Objectives
To become the local Charity of choice for the people of Derbyshire and Staffordshire and surrounding areas.
“For any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the services provided by the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB)”
The Charity aims to achieve benefit for the public in all its activities. UHDB’s Trust Board reviews the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when setting the terms of reference for the Charitable Funds Committee. The Charitable Funds Committee takes account of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in planning the budget for each year, and in setting or reviewing the guidelines for Fund Advisors, who allocate charitable spending. The funds of the Charity are comprised primarily of donations and legacies from members of the public and private organisations. The Charity’s overall objective is to use these funds to benefit the public. The Charity achieves this by ensuring that its funds are used for the following purposes:
-
To purchase medical, surgical, and other equipment and services.
-
To purchase or construct assets for donation to the Trust; and
-
To fund research projects.
These activities benefit the public. They are not covered, or not fully supported by core NHS funds. The Charity defines “the public” as patients, their Carers and the NHS staff who look after them in Derbyshire, East Staffordshire and beyond. All grant applications from the Trust for charitable expenditure are subject to review and challenge before they are approved. Applications are considered under the scheme of delegation and where required are reported for decision to the Charitable Funds Committee, within the delegated limits, or directly to the Trust Board, as Corporate Trustee. This includes confirmation that the expenditure is for public benefit and cannot be met through core NHS funds. Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity is at its most effective when it combines the expertise and commitment of highly skilled NHS staff, with the generous support of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire communities to bring about better-quality care and support for patients. UHDB, as Corporate Trustee confirms that it has referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives; planning future activities; and setting the grant-making policy for the year.

c) A short operational review of 2021-22 by the Charity Operations Director, Tim Diggle.
The Charity provided continuing support for University Hospitals of Derby and Burton Hospitals Foundation Trust throughout the second year of the COVID pandemic. We offered support to clinical areas who were experiencing staff shortages due to staff off with COVID. This meant there were times when charity offices and the Charity Hub at the Royal Derby Hospital were closed for short periods of time.
Many groups and individuals who were new to us during the first year of the pandemic continued to support the Charity financially in the second year and we are grateful for their support. The total amount raised and some of the areas we supported are shown below.
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022

With visiting restrictions in place, and many staff required to work from home, the Charity team continued to operate a rota system to make sure we had staff cover every day. The hospitals were much quieter, but there were times when the Charity team were asked to help clinical areas at short notice.
We said goodbye to the Head of Fundraising and Charity Admin Assistant and welcomed the Corporate and Community Fundraiser and the Engagement Officer. As the vaccination programme moved on and life began to return to normal, we reintroduced an events programme during the year and held events in person. We also started to develop our long-term plan, which will inform and guide our work over the next five years.
d) Charity Structure, Governance and Management
The UHDB Trust, through its Board, act as the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. The Corporate Trustee has established a Charitable Funds Committee (CFC) which reports to the Corporate Trustee on a regular basis.
The Committee meets at least six times a year, and is made up of six members, comprising four nonexecutive Directors of the Trust, and two Executive Directors (including the Executive Director of Finance & Performance). The CFC has terms of reference which include;
-
Oversight and assurance of the Charity, ensuring it acts within its charitable objectives and complies with the law
-
Approving the annual plan of expenditure and ensuring that the funds are used as appropriate
-
Ensuring effective financial controls and risk arrangements, including fund raising and investment strategies and reviewing the performance of investments.
On behalf of the Trust Board, the Corporate Trustee approves all major decisions and remains responsible for the activities of the Charity. The Directors do not receive any remuneration for their role as Corporate Trustee.
Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity’s principal office is Royal Derby Hospital, Uttoxeter Road, Derby, DE22 3NE. The Charity registration number is 1061812. The Charity’s governing document is the Declaration of Trust dated 13/3/97 as amended by Statutory Instrument of 18 March 1999 together with Supplement Deeds of 16 November 1999 and 17 August 2004, and further amended on 06 Nov 2018 following the merger of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trusts in July 2018.
e) The Corporate Trustee Members
The Charity works to support the University of Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The Charity works across all the five sites and the wider community across Derbyshire and East Staffordshire. Full details of the Trust related parties are disclosed in the UHDB Annual Report and accounts. The current list of Trust Board Members, who sit as the Corporate Trustee, is shown in the table below.

f) Our Staff
The Charity Team (led by the Charity Operations Director) are directly employed by the UHDB Trust (with NHS contracts of employment). All of the teams salaries are re-charged to the Charity which funds the salary costs through the operational budget.
The Charity also receives financial advice from the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton Foundation Trust. This support is managed and provided by the Executive Director - Finance and Performance and the Assistant Director of Financial Services. However the Charity is able to obtain independent legal and financial advice through the Corporate Trustee if required.
g) Management of the Charity’s funds
The Charity’s aim is to enhance and improve the experience of patients and visitors using the hospital and to support the Trust staff to enable improved patient care. The funds are held across 230 individual charitable funds.
To be fully effective the Charity will ensure:
-
Careful stewardship of donations. We will use the funds effectively and in a timely manner and where appropriate we will see that pro-active fundraising is in place to increase income.
-
Donations are used according to donors’ wishes and that information is collected and maintained in accordance with all applicable laws concerning data protection regulations (GDPR) in respect of personal data.
-
Support is provided to Fund Managers in the proper discharge of their responsibilities and ensuring that each individual fund prepares an acceptable plan.
Expenditure is reviewed in detail, the costs of running the Charity are minimised through efficient governance and administration purposes and the costs of fundraising are measured against the level of income generation relating to that expenditure.
h) Risk Management
The Corporate Trustee utilises the Trust Risk Management Policy. Operational, financial, and reputational risks are considered throughout the reports to both Charitable Funds Committee and Corporate Trustee.
i) The Future Plans
Whilst the Charity coped well with the different stresses it became clear there are things we can do to improve our effectiveness. As a result we have committed to the following goals;
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`11
The goals shown above are central to our five year strategy, which links with the University Hospitals of Derby & Burton’s PRIDE ambitions.
The work we plan will take time to show results, but we will continue to support patients and staff as we come out of the pandemic, move into the recovery phase and support the hospitals as they catch up on the backlog of patient care.

Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustee are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards known as United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UKGAAP).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales required the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the 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 Trustee are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (comprising of FRS102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable organisation will continue to operate.
The Trustee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy, and at any time the financial position of the Charity and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision 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 Trustee 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 dissimination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other juristictions.

Derby & Burton Il Hospitals Charity Independent Auditors Report KwJ"i
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
• the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or • the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`16
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report;
or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 14, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the charity and industry, we identified that the principal risk of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations related to:
-
management bias in respect of accounting estimates and judgements made;
-
management override of control;
-
posting of unusual journals or transactions
-
significant cash-based transactions
-
receipt of cash donations
-
use of charitable funds
We focussed on those area that could give rise to a material misstatement in the Charity financial statements. Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims,
-
including instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
-
Reviewing Charitable Funds Committee minutes;
-
Reviewing legal expenditure in the year to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and
-
fraud
• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`17
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. In particular performing tests of control for donation envelops and review of specific fund expenditure.
It is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Introduction
These accounts have been prepared using the Going Concern convention. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts. In future years the Trustees have identified that there is a risk of decline in donations; particularly in relation to legacy income. The Trustees have made adequate arrangements to mitigate these risks as outlined in the Annual Report.
If at any time this document gives reference to terms which are unclear in their meaning, please refer to the glossary which can be found from page 37 onwards. The Charity acknowledges that from time to time there may be minor rounding differences between notes to the accounts and the main statements. Where those amounts account for less than £5k, the Charity deems them to be insignificant in nature and therefore an acceptable rounding difference.

The Charity investment funds held are managed by Cazenove Capital Ltd. The value of the Charity’s investments held at fair value are shown in the table below. These are held in a multi asset fund on a 100% total return basis.
Movements in the fair value of the investments are recognised as gains or losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. Current investments have a fair value equal to the deposit amount.

8. Financial Instrument Risk Analysis

The level of investments are monitored by the Charity Finance Team and are regularly reported to the Charitable Funds Committee. The external investment management advisors have also during the financial year attended the Committee meeting and provided an update on the investments. The Charity’s financial operations are also carried out in accordance with the Charity’s Standing
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`26
Financial Instructions and policies and the Trust Standing Orders and Financial Instructions, as agreed by the Corporate Trustee.
Currency risk
The Charity is principally a domestic organisation with the majority of transactions, assets and liabilities being in the UK and Sterling based. The Charity has no overseas operations and does not invest in currency hedging. The Charity therefore has low exposure to currency rate fluctuations.
Interest rate risk
The Charity’s investments are subject to fluctuations in their return in line with the investment portfolio determined by the Trustees. The Charity contracts its Investment Management operations to external companies who manage the portfolio to mitigate as far as possible the fluctuations in interest rates. Current liabilities of the Charity are covered by identified cash resources and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Credit risk
The main income for the Charity is mainly in relation to legacy, grants and donations and sponsorship from the Charity’s events. The Charity provides no services under contract. Income is only recognised as it is given to the Charity meaning that the debtors of the Charity are low and the Charity’s exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity risk
Day to day expenses of the Charity are covered through donations, investment interest income earned and receipts received during the year. This means that the Charity is exposed to a degree of liquidity risk in that there is a dependance day to day on income being generated into the Charity’s bank account. This risk is mitigated through the balance held in the Charity Investment portfolio. If cash balances are forecasted to be low, investments would be realised to increase the cash balance.

Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`32
The Charity is required to compile its accounts in accordance with the SORP 2019 based on FRS102. These accounts have been prepared using the Going Concern convention. These accounts have been prepared using the historical cost convention by the revaluation of property plant and equipment. The accounting policies have been applied consistently.
1. Accounting Convention
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Charity Law. The Charity is considered to be a Going Concern. The accounting policies of the Charity have been written with due consideration to FRS 102 in accordance with the Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (the SORP) 2019.
Where no specific guidance is provided as part of the SORP, then due consideration has been given to relevant accounting standards, further guidance and generally accepted practice when developing a policy for the Charity.
The following accounting policies have been consistently applied to the Charity accounts. The accounting policies are approved by the Charitable Funds Committee preceding the year to which they relate. An update report is then presented to the Committee for any changes during the year.
Where there is a change in accounting policy, from one reportable period to the next, the nature, circumstances and effect of that change is disclosed in the Notes to the Accounts. Where appropriate, previous years financial statements will be restated in line with the new accounting policy.
Where a prior period adjustment takes place, the circumstances, nature and effect of the change will be disclosed in the notes to the accounts. Any restated information within the Statements and Notes will be presented as “Restated”.
2. Income Recognition
All incoming resources are recognised on an accruals basis and are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three criteria have been met:
-
Entitlement – control over the rights or other access to the economic benefit has passed to the Charity.
-
Probable – it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the Charity.
-
Measurement – the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to compete the transaction can be measured reliably.
The main sources of funding for the Charity are:
• Donations, Lottery & Fundraising - typically recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities at the point of receipt. Until such time, the Charity cannot claim entitlement to those funds. However income may be recognised sooner where the three criteria of recognition can be demonstrated.
• Legacies - are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the receipt of the legacy becomes probable. Where conditions attached to the legacy have not been fulfilled, recognition of income is deferred on the balance sheet until such time that the conditions have been met. Residuary legacies are accounted for when the estates accounts are finalised.
• Grants - are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the receipt of the grant becomes probable. Where conditions attached to the grant have not been fulfilled, recognition of income is deferred on the balance sheet until such time that the conditions have been met.
• All other income (including Investment Income, Revaluation Gains and Reclaimed Tax) - recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, in the financial period to which it relates.
Where the Charity receives material Gifts or Donations in Kind, these are recorded on the Benefits in Kind register. Where appropriate Gifts of Donations in Kind will be reported in the Notes to the Accounts.
Incoming resources from the endowment fund are unrestricted. Income reported in the Statement of Financial Activities will be shown gross, before any deductions for administration costs or other costs.
33
3. Resources Expended
All expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis and are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three criteria have been met:
Obligation - once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party;
Timing – there is reasonable certainty when payment will be made;
Amount - when the monetary value of the payment can be measured with sufficient reliability.
The Cost of Raising Funds includes some staff costs and other administrative costs of operating the Charity. Staff costs such as salaries and pensions are recognised in the period to which they relate. Staff costs apportioned to the Charity are based on percentage of time working for the Charity.
This includes the salaries of the Charity Manager and Charity Fundraiser. Where appropriate a proportion of other staff employed by the Trust is also included where time has been spent assisting in generating charitable income.
Other costs include advertising, marketing and fundraising costs, audit fees, banking and legal charges.
Charitable Activities includes some staff costs and payments made from individual funds in the achievement of the Charity’s objectives. These costs are directly charged to the fund to which they relate.
4. Provisions
Where recognised expenditure is due for payment more than 12 months from the balance sheet date (such as in the award of an on-going grant), a provision will be created in the Balance Sheet.
A discount rate equivalent to a high quality corporate bond will be used to discount the provision over the period it is expected to relate.
Discounting will be unwound each year and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. At such time that payment is expected within 12 months of the Balance Sheet date, the provision shall be fully unwound and reported on the Balance Sheet within Creditors.
5. Fixed Assets
The Charity does not hold any fixed assets directly for the purpose of the Charity, this includes intangible fixed assets.
Expenditure by the Charity which is capital in nature is deemed to be on behalf of University of Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust will recognise and account for any resultant Fixed Asset.
6. Structure of Funds
The Charity recognises funds in two categories;
-
Restricted Funds - Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be utilised, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. This includes endowment funds, this is where capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot be spent.
-
Unrestricted Funds – all other funds, including any interest or revaluation gain on investments and endowments.
The Trustees can agree to earmark unrestricted funds for set purpose, typically with due regard to the wishes of the donor. Any funds which are not earmarked for a specific purpose are classified as for general purpose. At the point that the general purpose funds reach an appropriate level, the Trustees may agree to transfer balances into earmarked funds, after receipt and approval of bids from within the Trust.
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`34
Fund classification, balance and purpose is reviewed and approved by the Charitable Funds Committee at least annually. Transfers between funds, including closing funds, should be approved by the Corporate Trustee following Charitable Funds Committee recommendation.
7. Investments
The Charity may invest surplus cash to generate investment income. All investment plans should be approved by the Charitable Funds Committee and reported to the Corporate Trustee at least annually.
The day to day management of Investments is undertaken by a third party investment management company. The contract for the management of the Charity’s investments is retendered at least every three years.
Investment fixed assets are recognised in the Balance Sheet at market value. Property investments are revalued by the third party investment management company annually.
All investments are held in Common Investment Funds. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the balance sheet at mid-market price, excluding dividend.
8. Gains and Losses
Gains and losses occur due to changes in the value of the Charity’s investments including endowments. All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and the opening market value.
Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and the opening market value.
9. Pensions Contributions
Pension costs are recorded in the Charity accounts on an accruals basis. Employer pensions contributions payable to the NHS Superannuation and other schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Due to immateriality, adjustments to reflect the true cost of pension liabilities (in accordance with IAS19) for Charity employees are included within the Trust accounts.
10. Reserves Policy
This policy sets out the circumstances and limitations for holding of reserves by Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity (the Charity) as required by the Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2019.
Charity Reserves as defined under SORP 2019 are those funds which become available to the Charity to be spent at the Trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives, but which are not yet spent or committed or could only be realised through the disposal of fixed assets. These are therefore classified as ‘free’.
Trustees are under a legal duty to apply charity funds within a reasonable time of receiving them. This policy aims to set out:
-
The reasons why the Charity holds reserves
-
What level of reserves the Trustees believe the Charity needs.
-
Arrangements for maintaining reserves at the agreed level.
-
Monitoring and review of policy arrangements.
Reason for holding reserves. The Trustees consider it necessary to retain reserves over the longer term to:
- Reduce the impact of risks from the external environment should the levels of income reduce significantly that the charity cannot meet its obligations.
Derby and Burton Hospitals Charity Annual Report and Accounts 2021-2022
`35
-
Continue their programme of support to the Trust.
-
Hold sufficient reserves to ensure the charity can cover its ongoing operational costs to process outstanding commitments.
-
Meet the cost of closure or transfer of the charity’s affairs should the need ever arise.
The Charity will aim to spend at least 33% of the opening balance on Unrestricted - Designated funds within the financial year. This is monitored during the year by the Charitable Funds Committee.
Where it is felt that funds are not assisting in the achievement of the Charity’s objectives (i.e. a fund is consistently under achieving the 33% target) the Charitable Funds Committee may agree to release those funds into the generally available funds for reallocation.
Generally available reserves shall maintain a minimum balance sufficient to continue the day to day operations and governance arrangements of the Charity for three years.
Where the generally available reserves are within the minimum balance, the Charitable Funds Committee shall consider alternative funding sources such to maintain the day to day operations and governance arrangements of the Charity for three years.
In the event that it becomes apparent that the Charity is no longer a going concern, the Corporate Trustee may begin proceedings to wind up the Charity, or alter its structure accordingly. A generally available reserve balance of three years, day to day operations and governance arrangements is sufficient to facilitate this process.
Where the generally available reserves are excessive, the Charitable Funds Committee shall consider bids from within the Trust to best utilise the resources.
11. VAT Policy
This policy should be read in conjunction with the VAT policy for University of Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The Charity is entitled to certain tax exemptions on the purchase of medical equipment and is also able to recover VAT on certain other items of expenditure.
The Charity does not hold an independent VAT registration, however is included within the registration for University of Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
It is the policy of the Charity to recover all VAT possible. The Trust contracts specialist NHS VAT advisors to assist in the accurate recovery of VAT.
The Charity should operate within the VAT policy of the Trust.
12. Stock Policy
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on either a first in first out or weighted average basis.

Endowment
A financial endowment is a donation of money or property to a nonprofit organisation for the ongoing support of that organization.

An endowment may come with stipulations regarding its usage.
