Annual Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Through grants supported by charitable donations, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund and Associated Charities (MY Hospitals Charity) aims to improve patient and staff care and experience throughout Mid Yorkshire (jurisdiction covering Dewsbury, Pontefract, Wakefield, and surrounding Communities) above and beyond government-funded services and facilities.

The amount of money raised in 2022 has been nothing short of amazing. The overwhelming assistance given to MY Hospitals Charity has greatly helped the organisation achieve its altruistic goal of improving patient care in our hospitals. As a result, we anticipate that the charity's effect will continue to grow as more staff members and members of the general public become aware of these initiatives and the charity's existence. The report that follows, which was originally presented to the Committee, gives a summary of some of the major actions and events, along with in-depth marketing data.

Annual Report

Raising £1.25million for a new diagnostic suite

Fundraising target: £1,250,000 Amount raised: £373,235

Amount remaining: £876,765

Since 2008, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Charity (MYHC) has existed to support the work of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust which operates from sites in Wakefield, Pontefract, and Dewsbury. As a charity, we raise and allocate funds to projects that significantly elevate the physical and emotional well-being of patients and staff, making a visit to one of our hospitals or community centres the very best it can be.

Our next key priority is to improve access to world-class Radiology at Pinderfields Hospital. Located in Wakefield, this is the largest of the Trust’s three hospitals and a designated ‘hot site’ for acute and urgent care. Home to a Major Trauma Unit, Spinal Injuries Unit and the regional Adults and Children’s Burns Centre, its clinicians and staff team primarily serve around 500,000 people, with approximately 3.5 million residents from West, North and East Yorkshire, as well as people in North Lincolnshire, in occasional specialist services.

Pinderfields is also the busiest of the Trust’s hospitals providing an exceptional level of care to more than 127,000 patients a year. Over 58,000 of these are A&E admissions and at least 35% will require some form of medical imaging. Others may be attending as outpatients and seeking diagnosis or treatment for serious illnesses such as cancer. Whatever their reasons for admission, patients are usually in the grip of a potentially life-changing situation; one that demands a highly effective response where speed is of the essence. In this extremely pressured context, time spent with the radiology team is often critical to achieving the best outcome for both patients and their families.

A WORD FROM THE FUNDRAISING TEAM

The years 2022–2023 have been remarkable for MY Hospitals Charity. The Covid-19 pandemic is still having an impact on our scheduled fundraising activities, but we continue to receive incredible assistance from members of the public, patients, and Trust staff all year round.

The incredible dedication of the fundraisers and the generosity of the donors allowed MY Hospitals Charity to receive nearly £118,998. With the help of these donations, the charity can purchase equipment and help our patients and employees during these trying times.

The Fundraising Team has worked incredibly hard through the year; generating donations, supporting fundraising and working with Trust departments to turn funding into benefits for patients and staff.

Our communities are still filled with selfless gestures of generosity, and it is incredibly heartening to see how much support there is for the NHS. We are committed to working through these difficult times even though we are unsure of what the future will bring. While some of our "normal" activities may need to be modified, we are constantly thinking of innovative and different methods to operate that will benefit our staff, patients, and families. We understand and value the idea of "stronger together" more than ever since teamwork allows us to do amazing things. We are proud of our team for keeping up their good attitude and mutual support even throughout these unexpected circumstances.

Page 45 Page 27 The following is a Marketing Strategy employed throughout 2021. Page 38 Page 28Page 43

Annual Report ANNUAL MARKETING REPORT SUMMARY

7.1 Social Media Review

Throughout the year of 2022 – 2023, the Charity’s social media platforms increased in overall audience.

Facebook increased its audience by 17&, totalling 1782 followers, Instagram increased by 15%, totalling 522 followers, LinkedIn is closely followed by a 9% increase, with 589 followers and Twitter received a 22% in followers, totalling 1084.

There has been a change in the Charity team which may explain some fluctuations in August and September in terms of ‘Reach’, however it is promising to see this is on this rise again.

The way engagement is recorded has changed on the analytic system, so although figures appear low compared to last year, we can still confidently say that trends towards the end of the year are positive.

For a full breakdown, please see our separate Annual Marketing Report

7.2 Website report

In terms of website, across all indicators of ‘Users’, ‘New Users’, ‘Bounce Rate’, ‘Sessions’, ‘Page Views’, ‘Session Duration’, ‘Pages per Session’ and ‘Number of Sessions per use’ there is a spike in numbers around September time, with the exception of ‘Average Bounce Rate’.

This may be best explained by Jane McDonald’s commitment to match the Radiology Team’s fundraising amount for the Great North Run, taking place in September for the MRI Appeal.

The Charity also notices the small amount of time users spend on our site, however, feel this is because users most likely visit our website for specific information and so demonstrates the usefulness of navigation for our site.

Looking beyond 2022 we are hopeful that we can build upon our achievements of this year and turn them into even greater achievements for 2023/2024.

As our Charity grows the objectives of 2022 carry into 2023, particularly in relation to the development of fundraising income sources, and the growth of the Charity’s presence in the local community and on social media. Bolstered by a newly improved and higher quality format for producing content, and the stronger relationships with businesses, the community, and other departments, it is very much possible to achieve the forecasted goals for social media.

Annual Report

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:

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 self-assessment 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 2019 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.

Annual Report

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 Covid-19 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.

Annual Report

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.

Annual Report

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.

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.

Sta tement of trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the trustee’s annual report and accounts

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund is the sole corporate trustee of the fund. Delegated responsibility of the trustee is applied to executive and non-executive members of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Board.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustee is required to:

The trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. It is 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 is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner’s Report

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund

I report on the financial statements of The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 43 to 62.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes

consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, which is complete, no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

Page 41

Independent Examiner’s Report

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

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 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).

Page 46

Notes to the Accounts

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.

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.

Page 47

Notes to the Accounts

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).

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 accrual’s 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 audit, independent examination, 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.

Page 48

Notes to the Accounts

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.

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.

Page 49

Notes to the Accounts

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.

Notes to the Accounts

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 (2021/22: £85k) in support of the Charity's grant making activities are included within support costs. Included in expenditure on raising funds is £82k (2021/22: £96k) for fundraising services provided by the Trust.

Other creditors include £53k (2021/22: £62k) for outstanding support costs and grants owed to the Trust, in furtherance of the Charity's objects. Included in provisions for liabilities is £405k (2021/22: £381k) 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.

7 Role of volunteers

The Charity is reliant on volunteers who carry out 3 roles:

In accordance with the SORP, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

8 Investment income

The Charity’s investments and cash equivalents are held by CCLA Investment Management.

The Charity receives income in the form of dividends from its fixed asset investments and interest from its cash equivalents.

9 Analysis of expenditure on raising funds

Page 53

Notes to the Accounts

10 Analysis of expenditure on charitable activities

The Charity did not undertake any direct charitable activities during the year. All of its charitable expenditure was in the form of grant funding.

The Charity made grants to Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust in support of a range of charitable activities to benefit NHS patients and their families.

11 Analysis of grants

The Corporate Trustee operates a scheme of delegation, through which all grant funded activity is managed by fund administrators responsible for the day-to-day disbursements in accordance with the directions set out by the Trustees in the Charity standing orders and financial instructions. The Charity has not made any grants to individuals. All grants were made to Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. The total cost of making grants is included within charitable activities analysis on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities. The grants received for each category of charitable activity are disclosed in note 10.

12 Provisions for liabilities

Current liabilities are amounts owed for support costs and to reimburse for grants which are paid retrospectively. Provisions for liabilities represent constructive obligations and include grants which are committed to, where the amounts and/or timing of payments are not yet known.

Page 54

Notes to the Accounts

13 Allocation of support costs and overheads

Support costs and overheads are allocated between fundraising and charitable activities. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to the strategic and day to day management of a charity. The costs of fundraising services and overheads are directly charged to fundraising costs, note 9.

Independent examination

The bases of allocation used are as follows:

Basis Description
Expenditure Proportion by total expenditure per charitable activity.
Transaction On average each transaction takes a similar amount of time to process.
The number of transactions is used as a proxy to the time and hence cost
of processing transactions. This basis allocates costs according to the
number of transactions of each charitable activity.
Direct allocation Specific allocation where the cost is wholly attributable to a particular
activity.

Page 55

Notes to the Accounts

14 Trustee’s remuneration, benefits and expenses

The Corporate Trustee gives its time freely and its Board members receive no remuneration for the work that is undertaken as Trustee. No other benefits were received.

15 Independent examiner’s remuneration

The independent examiner’s remuneration of £2,400 (2021/22: £2,400) relates solely to the independent examination with no other additional work undertaken in either year.

16 Fixed asset investments

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.

Page 56

Notes to the Accounts

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 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.

The deposit fund is cash held in a COIF (Charity Official Investment Fund) Deposit Fund. In accordance with the SORP, this is classified as a cash equivalent as it is highly liquid and readily accessible. The Charity holds it on deposit for the longer term and draws down amounts as necessary to fulfil obligations for grant payments.

No cash or cash equivalents were held in non-cash investments or outside of the UK.

Page 57

Notes to the Accounts

19 Analysis of liabilities

Current liabilities are amounts owed for the payment of grants which have already been made. Provisions for liabilities represent constructive obligations and includes for grants which have been committed but the amount and/or timing of the payment is not yet known.

There have been no transfers between restricted and unrestricted funds in 2022/23.
