Who we are

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund (the Charity) is an independent registered charity (registered number 1067163), its working name is MY Hospitals Charity. The Charity exists to receive donations and raise funds to enhance the services provided by the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust (the Trust) and fund additional items of expenditure, which would not otherwise be funded by the NHS.

What we aim to do: our objectives and activities

Our mission

The Charity’s mission and aim is to raise income and manage funds for:

“the benefit of patients and to support staff to deliver improved patient care”.

The Charity makes grants in accordance with charity law, our constitution, the wishes and directions of donors, and to meet with the public benefit criteria. During the year 2021/22, income totalling £441,000 was received to enhance the services provided by the Trust and fund additional items of expenditure, which would not otherwise be funded by the NHS.

The Charity has continued to fund items that will improve patients’ clinical care and wellbeing through education, introduction of new technologies, advances in diagnosis, new equipment and furnishings.

The Corporate Trustee confirms that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year

The Charity aims to raise income and manage funds to improve patient care either directly with patients or indirectly via staff. The Trust mainly provides healthcare for NHS patients. The Trust has diversity and equality policies in place and patients have equal access which is free of charge. The number of private patients and income received from them is very small and any indirect benefit to these patients is incidental. All expenditure requests are reviewed to make sure they meet the requirements set out in the policies and procedures and to assure that items of expenditure benefit the general public served by the Trust.

Many donations are specifically given to thank staff for their care and assistance during attendance at hospital. Accordingly the Charity also funds items to benefit staff and has supported education and training costs to increase knowledge, leading to improved patient care.

Other trading income is fundraising income generated by the Charity’s fundraising team, members of the public and Trust staff on behalf of the Charity.

The awareness of MY Hospitals Charity has continued to grow internally and within our Communities, evident by increased enquiries and interactions with our Charity social media accounts.

Investment income £70,000 (2020/21: £69,000). Funds not immediately required for use in the hospital are invested to earn interest and dividends. Careful investment resulted in dividends totalling £70,000 from investments held in Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) Charities Ethical Funds and Charities Property Funds.

Fundraising practices

The fundraising team organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters both in the hospital and in the wider community. The Charity does not use professional fundraisers and any involvement with commercial participators goes through a governance process. There have been no complaints about fundraising activity this year and no direct marketing has taken place.

The year has still been unprecedented for the Fundraising Team with some of the usual events and fundraisers suspended and others moved online. However, some of the previously postponed events were able to commence including the Great North Run and some Christmas events.

The following shows some of the events of the year, notably: The Sir Captain Tom Tribute, the Staff ICU Balcony, which commenced last year and the surge of non-monetary donations throughout the year.

APR

Your support made a real difference throughout the Easter period, as we received a huge supply of Easter eggs from some of our incredible supporters including Wickes Wakefield, Yorkshire Children’s Trust and Mr and Mrs Pugal and family.

As July is the NHS birthday month, our Charity saw quite a number of events / donations throughout the month. Including the Toni Thornton Artwork donation in addition to the Rockin R Charity working with Wakefield Bayfield Opticians making an incredible donation. We also unveiled our Legacy Mural this month, in addition to the privilege of being invited to Stanley Grove to join their NHS Big Tea Party.

JUN

The impact of our donations was evident throughout the month of June as this showcased the completion of both Dewsbury and District Hospital Reflection Garden in addition to the competed works of our Staff ICU balcony. Both enabling staff to enjoy their breaks in a private and comfortable space. Our charity also proudly supported the Neonatal Team at Pinderfields Hospital by providing Specialist Recliner Chairs.

AUG

SEP

September was another month filled with fundraisers and donations including the iconic Great North Run, where 8 MYHC runners participated to help our hospitals do more. The month ended with a generous donation from St Mary’s Social Club who held a 1940’s event and chose to donate their raised monies to MY Hospitals Charity.

The official opening of our Pinderfields Reflection Garden, which was partially supported by NHS Charities Together, kicked off the festive season. With an element of the garden dedicated to staff members who tragically lost their lives during Covid-19, the space may now be used for MY Staff to relax and unwind outside of their shifts. Throughout the festive season of 2021, our Charity received an outpouring of support from our communities, including individuals, local companies, and public sector workers. The continuous support throughout December exemplifies our communities' devotion for the NHS.

Fixed asset investments are investments in equities and property shares.

Net current assets represent amounts owed to the Charity, cash at bank and held in the COIF Charities Deposit Fund less outstanding liabilities.

Provisions for liabilities are commitments for grants made where the final cost or timing is unknown.

Restricted funds are funds held by the Charity which can only be used for specified purposes.

Unrestricted funds are funds available to be spent within the objects of the Charity and include 59 designated funds, which respect the requests of the donor.

Our reserves policy

The Trustee has an established reserves policy, in line with the guidance set out in the Charity Commission booklet, Charities’ Reserves . This policy provides for additional scope and monitoring of significant designated funds. The calculation of reserves that are freely available will exclude designated funds which have been earmarked for specific projects in subsequent years.

In the year ended 31 March 2022 the reserves policy is:

11 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Our reserves

The total funds held by the Charity as at 31 March 2022 were £2,414,000. Of this balance, unrestricted income funds accounted for £1,297,000 (2020/21: £1,418,000). This is the amount of freely available reserves against a lower limit target of £1,000,000 and an upper limit of £3,000,000. The current level of reserves is therefore acceptable.

In accordance with the requirements of the NHS Acts relating to charitable funds, the Trustee reviews the balances held in designated funds to determine whether these funds are still required. Fund Holders of designated fund accounts with a balance of more than £20,000 are required to submit plans for future expenditure for review by the Trustee. The Trustee also reviews whether funds are still active, closing funds when they are no longer in use and transferring the funds to reserves.

The Charitable Funds Committee has steered work with the business case processes and clinical service group boards of the Trust to embed charitable funds as a potential funding stream for improving patient care.

Investment policy

The aim of the investment policy is to minimise risk and generate an attractive rate of interest. The investment objectives of the Charity are:

The Corporate Trustee will not invest in securities of organisations involved in activities that are inconsistent with NHS objectives and ethos.

Our investments

The Charity holds fixed asset investments of £2,282,000 in COIF Charities Ethical and Property Funds. In year, there has been an unrealised gain of £195,000, comprised of a gain of £153,000 on the ethical investment and a gain of £42,000 on the property investment. Dividends received in respect of these investments have remained consistently good with £18,000 of income being generated.

12 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Management of the portfolio investments is entrusted to CCLA. The portfolio remains invested in a range of CCLA Common Investment Funds (pooled funds specifically for charities) – ethical, property and deposit. The mix of funds used and proportions in each have been selected in order to meet the investment objective of producing a rate of total return that will maintain the real value of the funds over time while controlling the volatility of returns. These funds also enable the Trustee to invest in a cost effective way that is consistent with NHS objectives and ethos.

Investment performance is monitored by the charitable funds committee by reviewing regular reports from the investment managers. During 2021/22, the stock market has recovered following the decrease due to covid, so we have an unrealised gain. This makes little difference to the day- to-day running of the charity until the point that we have to sell our investments and realise the gain or loss.

The risks we face

A major risk to which the Charity is exposed is a fall in the value of its investments and any associated losses. Mindful of this risk, the level of investments exposed to stock market fluctuations has been prudently considered. The Charity has appointed professional fund advisors to provide support to make investment decisions and manage the investment risk. Further details are referred to in the section on investments above.

Other key risks are losses due to fraud or error, adverse publicity leading to loss of beneficiary and donor confidence, loss of income being generated and breach of fundraising regulations. The Charity has systems and controls in place to mitigate these risks.

The public’s support of the NHS has been demonstrated through increased donations during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the national emergency appeal managed by NHS Charities Together. However, social distancing measures in place in 2020 and continuing into 2021, particularly during the spring and summer months have affected our fundraising events and therefore reduced our fundraising income. The Fundraising Department has been managing this risk by moving fundraising online, but this continues to be a key risk as the pandemic continues and the public’s goodwill towards the NHS could start to wane.

Our future plans

The Charity will continue to fulfil its aims and objectives by funding items for patient welfare and amenities, staff education and resources linked directly to improving patient care and the continued investment in medical equipment and refurbishment.

The use of charitable funds will continue to be promoted and encouraged to enhance and improve patient care and wellbeing.

The Charitable Funds Committee will continue to review, on a rolling basis, forecast plans for expenditure from designated fund accounts with a balance in excess of £20,000. The aim of this is to ensure that funds are used in furtherance of the charitable purpose, are

13 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

applied appropriately within a reasonable timeframe and decisions are made having full knowledge of hospital developments.

Over the last four years the Charitable Funds Committee has sought support from the Trustee to purchase fundraising services. This has enabled the Charity to position itself to actively fundraise and focus on specific fundraising drives to raise the profile of the Charity. Significant progress has been, and will continue to be made with regards to networking and fostering partnerships with local organisations.

MY Hospitals Charity Strategic Objectives for the year were:

• Increase Charity Visibility

Our structure, governance and management

Corporate Trustee

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity governed by the law applicable to Trusts, principally the Trustee Act 2000 and the Charities Act 2011 (previously Charities Acts 1993 and 2006).

Non-Executive members of the Trust Board were appointed by NHS Improvement and Executive members of the Board are subject to recruitment by the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Board. Members of the Trust Board and the Charitable Funds Committee are not individual trustees under Charity Law but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee.

The members of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Board who served during the financial year and to the date of this report were as follows:

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust’s Board has an established Charitable Funds Committee.

Charitable Funds Committee

The Charitable Funds Committee has the delegated responsibility for the management and administration of the Charity, acting on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. The Committee’s powers are specifically delegated in the Charitable Funds Committee Terms of Reference and Charitable Funds Policy and Procedures. The duties of the Committee are to:

17 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Regard has been given to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Systems and strategies have been reviewed to ensure compliance and shape future plans, and the Terms of Reference have been amended accordingly. Public benefit and independence are two of the criteria that are assessed prior to authorisation of a grant from the Charity.

The Charitable Funds Committee is responsible for ensuring that members of the Trust Board are aware of their responsibilities in acting as a Charity Trustee on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. The Charitable Funds Committee agreed as part of its selfassessment to include the Charity on the induction programme for new Trustees and to brief them on the charity and their responsibilities. A meeting with the charitable funds team is offered to new members to give them the opportunity to raise questions and provide additional background to the operational aspects of the Charity.

The Charitable Funds Committee receives regulatory and reporting updates in respect of Charity Commission guidance. The Charity is continuing to prepare its financial statements under the SORP 2015 and similar to last year, the Charity has not been consolidated in the Trust’s accounts on grounds that it is not material to the Trust.

The Charitable Funds Committee considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on charity fundraising and receives regular updates from the fundraising team. To embed appropriate governance for ethical fundraising that meets with regulatory requirements, it was agreed to register with the Fundraising Regulator and for a member of the fundraising team to undertake the Institute of Fundraising’s certificate in Fundraising course. Additional insurance was taken out to cover fundraising activities organised by the Charity.

All key issues are reported to the full Board and a separate Corporate Trustee meeting is held to review the financial statements and discuss governance issues.

Principal Charitable Fund Adviser to the Board

The Director of Finance is responsible for the day-to-day management and control of the administration of the Charity and reports to the Charitable Funds Committee. The Director of Finance has delegated powers to authorise expenditure and manage charitable funds activities in accordance with the policies and procedures approved by the Board on behalf of the Corporate Trustee.

Administration

The accounting records and the day-to-day administration of the funds are undertaken by the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust’s finance department located at Pinderfields Hospital, Aberford Road, Wakefield, WF1 4DG.

The Charity has continued to subscribe to the Justgiving website, which has been popular with fundraisers choosing to use this website to raise and collect funds during the Covid19 pandemic.

The Committee remains open-minded to ways that incoming resources can be generated going forward and during the year has reviewed its communication strategy as a means of raising the Charity’s profile. Fund holders are encouraged to effectively and sensibly utilise their funds.

Grant Making Policy

The Charity has designated funds, spread across wards and departments. These designations are considered appropriate to ensure that the opportunity to benefit is not restricted to particular services and hence all patients, carers and local communities accessing the services of the Trust or local health economy may benefit.

A Fund Holder is appointed for each fund account. The Fund Holder is responsible for the administration of the account and for requesting expenditure from the fund.

The Charitable Funds Team processing the expenditure requests ensure that authorisation is gained from relevant personnel who have delegated authorisation limits within the Charitable Funds Policy. Trustee authorisation is required for any item of expenditure between £5,001 and £10,000, two Trustees between £10,001 and £25,000 and the Charitable Funds Committee over £25,001. The Charitable Funds Committee reports matters to the Corporate Trustee following each meeting. Any significant items of expenditure are reported as a matter of course.

The main areas of charitable activity are grants to equip new premises, purchase medical equipment, refurbishment of ward areas, staff education & resource and patient welfare & amenities. The Charity provides grants to NHS organisations that have well established procurement processes in place so that the safety of individuals is not put at risk. More specific details of grants made are included within the review of our achievements section below.

Types of fund accounts

The Charity’s unrestricted fund was established using the model declaration of trust and all funds held on trust as at the date of registration were either part of this unrestricted fund or registered as separate restricted funds under the main charity. Subsequent donations and gifts received by the Charity that are attributable to the original funds are added to those fund balances within the existing Charity.

The Charity has the following types of funds:

The Corporate Trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objects of each fund and also by designating funds. The Trustee respects the wishes of our generous donors to benefit patients and staff for the improvement of patient care.

Risk Management

The risk register is a standing item on the Charitable Funds Committee’s work plan. The risks are scored and any presenting with a high score is escalated to the Corporate Trustee. No risks of this nature were identified during the year.

The systems, policies and risk register are reviewed by the Charitable Funds Committee on a regular basis. The Committee also receives an internal audit report every two years. The report in 2019/20 gave significant assurance on the Charity’s systems and controls.

Partnership Working and Networks

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. NHS patients receiving treatment or accessing services at the Trust are the main beneficiaries of these charitable funds. Close networks are established between the Charity and the Trust to ensure charitable funds are directed to further services in line with the main activities, objectives and strategic plans of the Trust and local health economy. The Trust is a related party by virtue of being Corporate Trustee of the Charity.

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Close links have been maintained with other local organisations and charities and in particular The Hydes Hospital Trust and Walk the Walk from which significant contributions are gratefully received. The Charity’s fundraising team have made significant improvements with regards to raising the profile of the Charity through social media, making links and building relationships with local businesses, organisations and with the people that use our services.

A number of substantial donations and grants made from these relationships have not only benefited patients but have provided support to families and friends who have been through difficult and challenging times.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the 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 FRS 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:

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

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

24 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 course of 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustee’s responsibilities set out on page 23, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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

25 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

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 the financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

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.

Based on our understanding of the charity and its sector, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation, noncompliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID-19.

To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.

In addition, we evaluated the trustees’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, income recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

26 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of the audit 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.

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.

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 in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the charity’s fundraising income although this is partially offset by restricted income from the NHS Charities Together national appeal. As a grant making charity with few on-going commitments, this will impact on the new grants that can be made in the short term rather than affecting the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.

In future years, the key risks to The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund are a fall in income from donations or investment income but the trustee has arrangements in place to mitigate those risks (see the risk management and reserves sections of the annual report for more information).

1.2 Funds structure

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be spent, the fund is classified either as:

Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charity’s restricted funds tend to result from legacies.

31 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Endowment funds arise when the donor has expressly provided that the gift is to be invested and only the income generated by the fund may be spent. The charity has no endowment funds.

Those funds which are neither endowment nor restricted income funds, are unrestricted income funds which are sub-analysed between designated funds where the Trustee has set aside amounts to be used for specific purposes or which reflect the non-binding wishes of donors and unrestricted funds which are at the Trustee's discretion, including the general fund, which represents the charity's reserves.

The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 22.

1.3 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

1.4 Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind, such as food and toiletries are not accounted for when they are accepted and immediately distributed.

Gifts of tangible assets such as artwork and children’s toys are recognised as a donation at fair value (market price) on receipt and charitable expenditure when they are distributed.

1.5 Incoming resources from legacies

Legacies are recognised as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.

Receipt is probable when:

If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated, then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met. Material legacies which have been notified but not recognised as incoming resources in the Statement of Financial Activities are disclosed in a separate note to the accounts with an estimate of the amount receivable (note 23).

32 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

1.6 Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Grant commitments are recognised when constructive obligations arise that result in payments being unavoidable.

Grants are only made to related or third party NHS bodies in furtherance of the charitable objects of the fund. Contractual arrangements are recognised as and when goods or services are supplied.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

1.7 Recognition of liabilities and constructive obligations

Grants are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met. Provisions are made for grants which are either of uncertain timing or amount. Constructive obligations are accounted for as provisions because of the uncertainty regarding the final cost and the date of payment.

1.8 Allocation of overhead and support costs Overhead and support costs do not directly relate to a single activity and include costs of administration, internal and external audit, IT support and financial services. Fees are paid to a related party, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, for the administration and financial services provided to the Charity (see note 4). Overhead and support costs are apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities. The bases of apportionment and analysis are shown in note 13.

1.9 Costs of generating funds

Costs to generate income for the Charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities are categorised as costs of generating funds. It includes fundraising costs and investment management fees.

1.10 Charitable activities

Charitable activities comprise costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity and an apportionment of overhead and support costs as shown in note 13.

1.11 Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (mid-market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at the mid-market value quoted by the investment analyst, excluding dividends. Costs on acquisition are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of purchase.

A key financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets. This is due to the wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities within particular sectors or sub sectors. Further information on the fixed asset investments can be found in note 16.

33 of 49

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

1.12 Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

1.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term investments held in deposit funds. The Charity holds a balance in a Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) Charities Deposit Fund. Whilst balances maintained in the COIF are held for the longer term, they are highly liquid in nature, can be drawn down readily and therefore are classified as a cash equivalent. COIF invests in interest bearing deposits and pays a variable rate of interest based on returns generated. Interest is accrued for when it falls due.

1.14 Creditors

Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.

Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long term creditors.

1.15 Provisions

Provisions are made where a liability has arisen which is either of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is only recognised when:

Constructive obligations are accounted for as provisions because of the uncertainty regarding the final cost and the date of payment.

1.16 Realised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later).

2 Prior year comparatives

The primary statements provide prior year comparatives in total; this note provides prior period comparatives for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet for each of the three types of funds within the Charity.

3 Related party transactions

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust (the Trust) is the Charity's Corporate Trustee. For accounting purposes, this means that the Charity is deemed to be a subsidiary of the Trust as it is 'controlled' by another entity through the trusteeship arrangements. The Charity accounts are not consolidated in the Trust’s accounts due to the immateriality of the Charity's transaction in the context of the group (Trust and Charity).

The Trust provides healthcare services to the people of Wakefield and North Kirklees districts in West Yorkshire.

NHS patients of the Trust are the main beneficiaries of the Charity. The Charity has made revenue and capital grant payments to the Trust for the benefit of NHS patients, these are detailed in note 10.

The Trust provides administration, clerical and financial services to the Charity, by agreement with the Corporate Trustee. These costs of £85k (2020/21: £85k) in support of the Charity's grant making activities are included within support costs. Included in expenditure on raising funds is £96k (2020/21: £86k) for fundraising services provided by the Trust.

Other creditors includes £62k (2020/21: £193k) for outstanding support costs and grants owed to the Trust, in furtherance of the Charity's objects. Included in provisions for liabilities is £381k (2020/21: £522k) in respect of grants that the Charity has an obligation to pay when they fall due, see note 19.

During the year none of the members of the NHS Trust Board or senior NHS Trust staff or parties related to them were direct beneficiaries of the Charity.

Neither the Corporate Trustee nor any member of the NHS Trust Board has received emoluments, expenses or benefits in the year other than in their capacity as employees of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and in line with the ordinary use of funds. The Charity has purchased Trustee indemnity insurance on behalf of the Corporate Trustee due to increased fundraising activities and associated risks.

particular activity.

All investments are carried at their fair value.

Financial Instruments

All investments are carried at their fair value, which is market price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade, at cost (that is their transaction value).

The significance of financial instruments to the on-going financial sustainability of the Charity is considered in the investment policy and risk section of the Trustee annual report.

The main risk from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. Although the asset allocation should result in a stable dividend yield, there are risks that the market conditions will affect the capital values. The impact of Covid-19 on the financial markets continues to be a concern.

Liquidity risk is anticipated to be low as all assets are traded and the commitment to intervention by central banks and market regulators has continued to provide for orderly trading in the markets and so the ability to buy and sell quoted equities and stock is anticipated to continue.

The Charity’s investments are mainly traded in markets with good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Trust has no material investment holdings in markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund Trustee Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

The Charity manages these investment risks by utilising professional investment advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification in a range of investment asset classes. The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer term yield total return and historic studies of quoted financial instruments have shown that volatility in any particular 5 year period will normally be corrected.
