**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 

## Introduction from Sunny Adeusi, Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee 

## 01 **—** Foreword 

Welcome to the East Kent Hospitals Charity Annual Report for the year ending 31 March 2021.  I am delighted to be reviewing another very successful year in which we raised £1.4m and spent £1.5m supporting the care and treatment of our patients and the wellbeing of our staff. 

The increase in funds (up £0.3m from the previous year) received during the year, when compared to the previous year, is due to both a reflection of the support of our Help Your Hospitals Appeal, grants from the national “Captain Sir Tom Moore's NHSCT fund" and legacy receipts. 

A large part of our funds comes from donations to support the staff over the last unprecedented and most challenging of years. 

We have also benefited from legacies left by past patients and their family members. We would like to once again state our appreciation for the generosity of those who remember us in this way at what is always a difficult time for a family.  Through all these acts of kind generosity, we can enhance the care and support we give to patients at our hospitals. 

During the year the charity has been focussed on ensuring we spent the funds on patients and staff facilities, providing improved patient areas, equipment, enhanced staff education as well as a number of smaller purchases or initiatives which can make such a large difference to patient welfare and comfort.

"ON BEHALF OF THE CHARITY, I THANK EVERYONE WHO RAISES OR DONATES FUNDS FOR US AND I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE INSPIRED TO DO SO AS EVERY PENNY COUNTS." 

Sunny Adeusi, Chair of Charitable Funds Committee 

Your donations and support made this possible and your future donations are the key to our continued success. I am always impressed at the variety of ways our supporters find of raising money, especially during this period when traditional fundraising has not always been possible. 

Of course, 2020/21 will be remembered for Covid-19 and the devastating impact the virus has had on families across the country and the world. As a Charitable Funds Committee, we acknowledge that our fundraisers will have been very directly impacted by the effects of the virus and the hospitals had to face up to the challenges brought about by the pandemic. 

Throughout this worrying and stressful period, I remained proud and humbled by the individual and collective efforts of our staff and by the ongoing support of our local communities, individuals and businesses. 

On behalf of the Charity, I thank everyone who raises or donates funds for us and I hope you will continue to be inspired to do so as every penny counts. It is impossible to thank each and every person or organisation which has helped and supported us in the last year. 

This is my last Annual report as I stand down in October 2021 after nearly 2 years on the charitable funds committee. 

Thank you all and I hope you enjoy reviewing this annual report.

## Fundraising Introduction 


"We give a massive and heartfelt thank you, particularly in the current climate, to those who have given their time, energy and money and support for our patients and our staff." 

The East Kent Hospitals Charity is well supported by Trust staff and individuals and groups across the local communities who give throughout the year and take part in various fundraising events. 

Over the past year we have faced our part of the international challenges of Covid-19 which has had a major impact on the patients, staff and services of the hospitals that we serve. It has been our privilege be a part of the Charity supporting our hospitals. 

This report is both a celebration of what has been achieved, as well as giving a full and proper account of how we have put our charitable funds to good use. None of this would have been possible, of course, without the generous gifts, bequests and donations we receive, as well as the fantastic efforts of those who actively raise funds to support staff and patients. We give a massive and heartfelt thank you, particularly in the current climate, to those who have given their time, energy and money and support for our patients and our staff. 

We hope that you can see that we have put the monies raised to great use. The NHS does many amazing things, however the charitable funds we receive go that little bit further by providing additional comforts, equipment and developments, all of which enhance the patient experience and care that we can provide. 

We have been fortunate enough, along with many other NHS Charities, to benefit from the fantastic generosity of the public in support of Sir Captain Tom Moore, through the umbrella body NHS Charities Together. 

Many thanks to all our supporters!

## The Role of the Charity 

The core mission of the Charity is to enhance the care and treatment of patients and visitors accessing NHS services provided by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, by raising funds to support the purchase of equipment and facilities which are beyond the scope of government funding. 

We achieve this by involving NHS Clinicians and staff to identify and deliver projects that make a vital difference to patients by: 

- Enhancing the quality of patient care 

- Improving the environment for patients and visitors 

- Supporting NHS staff development to enable them to provide excellent clinical and patient centred care 

- Providing financial support for pioneering research that has the potential to impact on the treatment and well-being of patients 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance provided by the Charity Commission with regard to the need for public benefit. They are confident that the activities which contribute to the above mission have a clear public benefit. 

The Trust provides clinical services within the scope of their NHS requirements and the Charity works hard to enhance these services to benefit the patients and visitors (and therefore the public). 

The Trustees are aware when making grants, of the distinction between the requirements of the NHS to provide their services and those grants made by the Charity to extend the scope of the service, either through new equipment, advanced technology and improving patient experience through the environment and/or additional activities and facilities which are not the responsibility of the NHS.

## 1st Royal Gurkha Rifles Regiment Fundraising Cheque Presentation 

Representatives from East Kent Hospitals Charity and East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust attended the 1st Royal Gurkha Rifles Regiment in Shorncliffe on the 5th June, to celebrate the regiment’s fundraising achievements for the ‘Helping Your Hospitals’ Appeal. 

The regiment undertook the ‘John O’Groats to Land’s End’ challenge on 11th May 2020, running a total of 1956km in barracks. Running in relay, for 24 hours a day to reflect the 24/7 service of the NHS, they completed the challenge after 94 hours. 

The regiment has raised £6,358 to date, which will be made available to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, supporting staff wellbeing initiatives during COVID19. The regiment specifically wanted donations to be used at this hospital, as there is a close personal connection to the staff working there; many of whom are spouses or relatives of the regiment, and a number of the regiment’s babies have been born there too. 

## **Nicky Bentley- Director for Strategic Development said:** 

_‘It was really humbling to attend the cheque presentation and be able to thank the regiment for their dedication in raising funds for staff wellbeing initiatives at the William Harvey Hospital. We are so grateful to the regiment for undertaking this marathon challenge and look forward to being able to use the funds to refurbish showering facilities.’_ 

## **Corporal Naresh said:** 

_“We feel very privileged to have been able to support our local NHS Hospital during this pandemic. Our run was testing but nowhere near as hard as the challenges faced by the staff at William Harvey. We have raised a small amount of money but hope that this expression of our gratitude will make a difference to the staff at William Harvey Hospital.”_ 

_“As the local hospital providing care to our soldiers and their families, we are extremely grateful for the excellent work which the East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust continues to deliver. The William Harvey Hospital goes the extra mile to accommodate the specific_ 




_cultural and social nuances of the Gurkha-Nepali population and it has been great to see the way in which Sergeant Indra and Corporal Naresh have been able to give something back.  As a battalion, we look forward to continuing to maintain this relationship.”_

## A beauty queen's tribute to her Granny 


A teenage beauty queen set up her own online pageant to raise money for the hospital where her grandmother sadly died from coronavirus. 

and I wanted to thank them for everything they had done.” 

Liz was looking forward to watching Lara compete in the Miss European Global competition and the teenager, a pupil at Dover Christ Church Academy, is hoping to succeed in her memory. 

She said: “My granny taught me to keep following your dreams, no matter what happens in life, so that is exactly what I am going to do.” 

Danielle Neligan, senior charity officer at East Kent Hospitals Charity, said staff were touched by Lara’s efforts. 

She said: “The team on Oxford ward, where Liz was treated, were delighted with the support they have received from Lara and her family. 

“As they have requested, the money will be split between the ward and the research team, who are working hard on trials to improve the treatment we can offer to patients with Covid-19. 

“It is a wonderful legacy for Liz and I am sure she would be so proud of Lara, and as impressed as we are with her commitment and focus to helping others even in the face of the heart-breaking loss of her granny.” 

Lara Lynch was heartbroken when her grandmother Liz Masters died in May, at the age of 62. Liz had been one of her granddaughter’s most stalwart supporters, never missing a competition. 

So Lara, 16, who is Deputy Miss Dover Town and a finalist to represent England in the Miss European Global competition, decided to set up her own pageant in memory of her grandmother. 

She said: _“My granny has always been a big part of my life and I really wanted to do something in her legacy._ 

_“I named the pageant Miss Angel Queen 2020 and tailored everything towards her, even down to the logo design and colours – green was her favourite._ 

_“Over the 11 weeks it was running it got 625 members in the Facebook group, and 122 people entered the pageant.”_ 

Lara also ran daily ‘crown raffles’ and broadcast live to the group each evening. She also used the group to raise awareness of coronavirus and the risks, and to encourage people to stay safe. 

She was delighted to raise more than £2,500 for East Kent Hospitals Charity. 

Lara said: “The support I have been given throughout has been absolutely amazing and I am so grateful to everyone. 

“My granny was always super-supportive throughout my life and I feel privileged to be able to do this for her. 

“She spoke very highly of the care she received at the hospital so I wanted to raise money to give something back. NHS staff are an inspiration 


## Certificate of Appreciation 


We were so proud to be able to fund this Trust wide project, celebrating and thanking all staff who worked in the hospitals during 2020. We understood how important it was that staff felt appreciated for their incredible efforts during the first waves of the pandemic, and heard lots of feedback from our supporters about how they felt staff sould be recognised too. Costing approximately £18,000 each staff member was issued with this certificate and a badge.

## Other Campaign Stories 


## Sumit’s podcast marathon for Tiny Toes! 

New dad Sumit live streamed a 24 hour podcast, raising funds for the NICU at the William Harvey Hospital. 

Sumit chose to fundraise for Tiny Toes, as his daughter Liyah was cared for there after she was born 2 months prematurely, weighing just 2lb 11oz. 

Raising an impressive £1,710, Sumit’s podcast discussed football, hip hop and featured an interview with Dee too! 

Sumit said: 

_“If it wasn’t for the doctors, nurses and midwives at William Harvey’s neonatal intensive care unit, I’m not sure Liyah would be with us today._ 

_“She was so small, she could fit in the palm of my hand. The love and affection the nurses and doctors showed filled us with belief every single day._ 



_“The work that goes on in NICU is unbelievable and every baby is treated with the greatest of care.”_ 

Liyah is now thriving at home in Ashford with Sumit and wife Komel, but the couple are aware other parents are not so lucky. 

He said: _“Not everyone is as fortunate as us._ 

_“I have wanted to do a charity event for a while, but I wanted to do something unique. I love podcasting and had the idea of a marathon._ 

_“Being up all night with Liyah has been great training!_

## Community rallies to support Padua Ward 

## The Yog Foundation & their Child Health Donations 


The Yog Foundation are a charity, who seek to bring local British Hindu, British Indian and wider communities together. Members of the Yog Foundation were fantastically generous over the Festive 

An eight-year-old boy donated his own games console after hearing tech had been stolen from the children’s ward at the William Harvey Hospital. 

The generous gesture was matched by supporters across the local community, who not only gifted replacements but also raised more than £5,000 for staff to spend on additional equipment. 

period, donating £500 worth of toys and distraction items for children on the wards across EKHUFT. 


The fundraising campaign was sparked by mum Vanessa Deacon, who was in Padua Ward with her 13-year-old son Tyler Coulson when she heard about the theft last month of a Nintendo 3DS, 


Nintendo Switch lite, Chromebook and two Nintendo games. 

She said: _“I couldn’t believe someone would do that to sick children. Having the tech at the bedside helped get us through, especially at the moment when we can’t leave the ward to go to the playroom because of the Covid restrictions._ 

_“We would not have coped without it so I really wanted to replace it. I’ve done some fundraising before after having to give up work when I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder so I thought I might be able to get some things donated, but I had no idea it would take off like it did!”_ 


Vanessa’s friend Chris Kennedy contacted local radio station Radio Ashford, and presenter Sam Griffin created an online fundraising page, which was promoted on air by breakfast presenter John ‘Webbo’ Webster. 

Vanessa said: “The response was incredible. I was sitting here watching the total go up and up – we _hit our £500 target in 20 minutes, and in a few hours we had £2,000 and it just kept going._ 

## CTR Constructions Easter Delivery 

_“The ward is absolutely amazing and the care they give is fantastic -they look after parents as well as the children and it is always done with a smile and with compassion._ 

_“The response just shows how important they are to our community.”_ 

Sam said the whole team at Radio Ashford had been happy to help. 

CTR Construction, based in Canterbury, donated lots and lots of Easter Eggs in March 2021, for the children using the Dolphin Ward at Kent and Canterbury Hospital. 

She said: _“So many people from Ashford, including many of our team, have had children on this ward._ 

_“News of the thefts really touched the community and we were overwhelmed with the response. One listener told us her eight-year-old son unplugged his console and wrapped it up to give to the children on the ward._ 

_“People have been incredibly generous, and as well as raising £5,100 we have had donations of games consoles, tablets, books, and DVDs to help keep the children entertained while they are in hospital.”_ 

Padua ward manager Lindsay Wheeler said staff were ‘blown away’ by the response from the community. 

She said: _“There were a lot of happy tears among the team. It is beyond wonderful to have been given this fantastic amount of money as well as the replacement items and so much more._ 

_“We use toys and games as distraction but also to help get our young patients out of bed and active doing their physio, and thanks to this amazing fundraiser even more children will be able to benefit.”_

## Sue's passion for the Dementia Appeal 

Sue Threadingham has been a tireless fundraiser for the Dementia Appeal, since 2016. Throughout the lockdowns she continued to sell her home made crafts and jams, (according to Covid restrictions!) and has raised over £6,000 to date! 



## Ann's Dementia Appeal efforts 

Ann McGovern BEM, a dementia associate practitioner, was due to take part in the Brighton Marathon in 2020, which was unfortunately postponed due to the pandemic. 

She has since decided to train towards achieving a dream of hers: completing the London Marathon in October 2021. Ann has raised over £6,000 for the Dementia Appeal since 2018, and her efforts have resulted in the Charity purchasing an OMI Vista- an innovative interactive tool, specifically designed to engage and stimulate patients living with dementia, which was invaluable during the pandemic restrictions.

"Without this support the work of the Charity to provide additional facilities, support to patients, relatives and staff and enhance the services provided by the Trust would not be possible." 

## **—** 

## **The summary** 

## Financial Summary 

The Charity’s main source of income comes from the generosity and efforts of the public who give voluntary donations as a thank you for the care they or their friends and family have received, through fundraising, in memory of loved ones and in bequests and legacies from their estates. 

Without this support the work of the Charity to provide additional facilities, support to patients, relatives and staff and enhance the services provided by the Trust would not be possible. 

The following figures provide an overview and are drawn from the full Annual Accounts at the back of this report. 

At the end of the financial year the charity’s total funds held were £2.9m, of this total £1.8m was held in restricted funds. 

Restricted funds are those which the donor has made a binding restriction on the purpose or location where their monies can be spent, £1.0m of funds were held in unrestricted funds. Theses funds reflect the wishes or expectations of the donor by supporting the service or speciality identified. 

The charity's remaining funds balance is held in endowment.  This fund allows the charity to spend the interest from the fund whilst holding the original value intact (capital value). 

## **Where our income came from** ; 

The Charity received a total of £1.4m income for the year. (£0.9m 2019/20) This substantial increase was principally due to grants (£0.4m) made by NHS Charities Together and a significant corporate donation (£0.1m) in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in appreciation of the care they, their friends & families received from the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Trust. 

A total of £0.2m of the  restricted grant received from NHs charities direct was spent in immediate response to Patient and Staff needs, the remaining £0.2m (received in January 2021) will be spent in 2021/22 on projects that support staff and patient recovery from Covid-19 pandemic. 

Last year 2019/20 the charity saw loss in the value of investments held of £0.2m due to the decline in global markets as an impact of Covid-19.  The charity has worked proactively with their Investment managers – Cazenove (part of the Schroders Group) and 2020/21 saw a net gain on investments of £0.4m. 

Investment income received in the year from dividends and interest was £62k a decrease of £20k from 2019/20.

## **What we spent our funds on** 

The Charity spends the funds received in accordance with charity law, its grant making policy and respecting the wishes of the donors. 

This year the charity spent 93% (including support costs) of its total expenditure in providing equipment and supporting the wellbeing of staff and patients of the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. 

The charity works hard to ensure that expenditure achieves benefits to the patients and visitors who use the facilities and the services which may not otherwise be possible within the constraint of the Trust’s budgets. 

Trustees consider each application (those over £25k) on merit and aim to support the patient, staff and visitor’s wellbeing, experience and outcomes.  This is achieved through investment in medical equipment that provides technological advances in treatments, supporting projects that include the equipping, refurbishment of staff and patient spaces. Providing respite for staff and reflective spaces for patients and their families and rooms for sensitive consultations. 

A summary of the categories of grants given to the Trust are listed below; Medical equipment £0.9m Building and refurbishment £0.2m. Patient education and welfare £0.2k Staff education and welfare £0.1k 

Accounting rules (FRS102) require that the governance and administrative costs be included in the value of the grant (charity activity) and therefore the accounts report the value of the grant plus apportioned costs of £121k showing grants to the Trust of £1.4m (see note 3). 

The Trustees review the costs on an annual basis to ensure that they reflect the requirements to administer the Charity in compliance with current legislation and effective day to day management of the funds. The Charity is a member of the NHS Charities Together (Previously Association of NHS Charities) and uses their data to benchmark administration and fundraising costs. This comparison looks at NHS Charities of a similar size and geographical spread.

The charity exists to raise and receive charity donations and covers the funds given to wards, departments and services provided by the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. The following hospitals are the primary sites although outreach and other units and clinics are supported: 

- William Harvey Hospital (WHH), Ashford 

- Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM), Margate 

- Kent & Canterbury Hospital (K&CH), Canterbury 

- Buckland Hospital (BHD), Dover 

- Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH), Folkestone 

The objectives of the Charity as stated in the governing document are: - ‘The Trustees shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service’. 

At the balance sheet date, 31st March 2021, there were a total of 40 individual funds established under this Umbrella registration. Of those funds 19 are restricted, or special purpose funds and some of these are registered under the Umbrella as subsidiary charities governed by separate objects within the Charities Commission guidelines for fund expenditure. See page 71. 

The Charity has one small Endowment fund, which allows only the income to be spent, whilst the capital remains invested. The remaining 20 funds are Unrestricted or Designated Funds created for donations received for use by hospitals, wards and departments to reflect donors’ wishes. These do not form a binding trust. The major funds within these categories are disclosed in Note 8 in the accounts. The total value of funds held at 31st March 2021 was £2.9m. 

The Umbrella registration allows for a single set of consolidated accounts for all the subsidiary charities and funds held under the umbrella. However, separate accounts for each fund are maintained to enable identification of transactions and balances. 

_(*The charity was established in April 1999 by Declaration of Trust Deed as East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Fund and amended by Trustee resolutions and supplemental deeds to incorporate name and structure changes.)_

## **Grant Making Policy** 

The Charity makes grants from its unrestricted and restricted funds. A Scheme of Delegation is maintained for the authorisation of grants and signatories are aligned to The Trust delegated signatories.

## **—** 

## Objectives & Activities 

The staff are made aware of the Trust’s Standing Financial Instructions and Orders which are also applicable to the Charitable Funds. All signatories receive a monthly financial statement of all the charity’s funds. 

Grants are made for specific purposes and projects under an application process. All application over £25k are reviewed by the Charitable Funds Committee (CFC) to ensure that they meet the objectives of the Charity. 

The CFC review the applications for quality, value for money and patient benefit. Where any expenditure is considered inappropriate feedback is provided to the applicant. No fund is permitted to operate in an overdrawn position and although an application may be approved this may be subject to the ward or department securing the fundraising to support all or part of the project. 

## **Risk statement** 

During the year the Trustees continued to review the major risks to the Charity. The Charity uses the Trust procedures and processes. These systems undergo annual audit and risk reviews and action plans to mitigate the risks. 

The significant areas of risk have been identified as: 

- Fall in investment capital and returns 

- Reduction in income levels 

- Reconfiguration of NHS services The Trustees have mitigated these risks by: - 

- Retaining expert investment managers 

- Maintaining a diversified low risk portfolio 

- Review performance against benchmarks 

- Utilise cash holdings in Short Term Deposits to maximise returns and diversify investment opportunities 

- Reviewing the investment in Fundraising and analysing major and specific appeals and projects to identify effectiveness of approach and performance 

- Working with the Trust to understand the changes in strategic approach to delivery of services. In the Trustees opinion all appropriate action has been taken to ensure the risks are mitigated. 

## **Investment Powers** 

The investment powers are stated in the Declaration of Trust which provides for the following: 

‘‘to invest the trust fund and any part thereof in the purchase of or at interest upon the security of such stocks, funds, securities or other investments of whatsoever nature and where so ever situate as the trustees in their discretion think fit but so that the trustees: a) shall exercise such power with the care that a prudent person of business would in making investments for a person for whom he felt morally obliged to provide; 


b) shall not make any speculative or hazardous investment (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this power to invest does not extend to the laying out of money on the acquisition of futures and traded options); c) shall not have power under this clause to engage in trading ventures; and d) shall have regard to the need for diversification of investments in the circumstances of the Charity and to the suitability of proposed investments."

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees recognise their obligation to ensure that income received by the Charity should be spent effectively and promptly in accordance with the funds’ objects. 

## Investment Objective 

The investment objective is to seek to maximise the total return from the fund consistent with a relatively low degree of risk. The target is to achieve a 4% return annually. 

Trustees have directed the investment managers to take an ethical approach to the portfolio and that no investments should be made in the shares of tobacco producing companies and will also avoid investment in companies that have more than 10% of their turnover in: 

- Alcohol Manufacture 

- Armaments 

- Gambling 

- Pornography 

The ethical restrictions are not considered to be so restrictive as to be likely to impact on long term performance. 

## **Investment Performance** 

The Investment Managers were granted discretionary management powers under contract in January 2013. 

The total value of the investment portfolio at 31 March 2021 was £2.4m (excluding cash of £51k). 

2020/21 saw an unrealised gain on investments held of £0.4m. Dividends for 2020/21 were £62k a decrease of £20k against 2019/20. 

The CFC monitored and reviewed the performance of the Investment Managers on a quarterly basis as part of the Finance report. 

The investment managers are required to meet with the Trustees at least once in any one financial year, to explain any deviation from the anticipated rate of return in order that investment opportunities can be maximised. Investment managers are asked to explain exceptional losses and proposed recovery plans. 

There is an annual review of the investment policy within the Charity Management Document to ensure that returns are maximised at medium to low risk. Unless the donor has expressed a specific request regarding investment, the investment of funds is in accordance with the Trustees Investment Act 1961. 

It is however considered prudent that a minimum reserve of £0.3m should be held to cover contingencies, particularly stock market fluctuations. This sum has been identified as being equal to one year’s operational costs and estimated outstanding commitments. 

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, excluding funds which are spent or committed or could only be realised through the disposal of fixed assets. These are therefore classified as ‘free’. 

## **Definition of Funds** 

Restricted Funds Funds which are subject to specific trusts e.g. terms of will 

## Endowment Funds 

Funds which are to be held as capital and only the income generated can be expended. 

## Designated Funds 

Funds held for specific wards or services or a particular hospital in consideration of donors wishes. They do not form any binding Trust and can be transferred to general purpose funds at the discretion of the Trustees. 

## Unrestricted Funds 

Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees, or designated in consideration of donors wishes. 

The Trustees have reviewed Reserves Policy and have determined that it is 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 

- 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 

At the 31st March 2021 the reserves were identified as below: - 

Total Unrestricted funds £ 1.0m Less property funds       ( £0.1m ) Freely available reserves  £0.9m 

The level of reserves held at 31 March 2021 is £0.6m higher than the minimum requirement of £0.3m set out in the policy. 

The majority of donations received are for specific wards and services and are held as designated to the Care Group or individual ward or department in recognition of the donor’s wishes.

## 08 **—** Our Funds 

## **Objects** 

The East Kent Hospitals Charity is registered with the Charity Commission (England and Wales) as an ‘umbrella’ charity under registration number 1076555. 

Under the terms of the governing document, the Trustees can use the unrestricted funds to ‘hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose relating to the NHS’. 

The restricted funds have individual specified purposes that govern their use, in conjunction with the objects of the umbrella Charity. Some of these are registered with the Charity Commission as subsidiary charities of the Umbrella Charity. See Note 8.3 page 70. 

## **Fund Structure** 

Where a donation is received under a legally binding trust, for example under the terms of a will, the funds are classified as restricted. Where the restriction is removed, either by the spending of original funds, or where no binding agreement is held, funds are re-classified as unrestricted and placed into general purpose funds or a fund that achieves the donor’s wishes. 

The Trustees periodically review balances held in designated funds to determine whether these funds are likely to be committed in the near future and the extent to which there is a continuing need identified for any particular fund(s). In the event that the need no longer exists, those funds will be redirected to the appropriate Care Group General Fund. 

Further rationalisation is undertaken for individual funds that are not considered financially viable, or have the same objective as another fund. These funds will also be redirected to General Purposes or amalgamated with a similar fund. 

The dissolution of special purpose funds is managed under Clause I in the governing documents, without the need for referral to the Charity Commission. 

A continuing programme of rationalisation of funds is maintained to support the objectives of the Charity. Where funds have been received without forming a binding Trust they are designated to the appropriate Divisional Fund which is responsible for delivering the service and are classified as unrestricted.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements 

Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of expenditure over income for that period. The trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 _the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland._ 

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Corporate Trustee: 

- select suitable accounting policies and 

- then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; • state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- assess the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and 

- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The Corporate Trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. 

They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. 

They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

**Independent auditor's report to the corporate trustee of East Kent Hospitals Charitable Fund** 

## **Opinion** 

## 10 **—** 

## Independent Auditors Report 

We have audited the financial statements of East Kent Hospitals Charitable Fund (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow 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’ 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 2021 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 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. 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.

**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 

**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 

## **- Other matter prior year financial statements unaudited** 

The charity was not required to have a statutory audit for the year end 31 March 2020 as it was entitled to exemption from the provision of the Charities Act 2011 relating to the audit of the financial statements for the period. Accordingly the corresponding figures for the year ended 31 March 2020 are unaudited. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the charity’s business model including effects arising from Covid 19 and macro economic uncertainties such as Covid 19, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the corporate trustee and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. 

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. 

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. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Trustee’s Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the corporate trustee for the financial statements** 

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

The responsibilities of the corporate trustee with respect to going concern are described in the ‘Responsibilities of the corporate trustee for the financial statements’ section of this report. 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements set out on pages 45 to 46, the corporate trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error . 

## **Other information** 


The corporate trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee’s 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, 

In preparing the financial statements, the corporate trustee is 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 corporate trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 

**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 


## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

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. 

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. 

## **Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). 

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

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those related to the reporting frameworks (The Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102; ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ Ireland’(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice); 

- We enquired of management and the chair of the Charitable Funds Committee concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - the identification, evaluation and compliance with laws and regulations; 

## - the detection and response to the risks of fraud; and 

- the establishment of internal controls to mitigate risks related to fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We enquired of management, the chair of the Charitable Funds Committee and internal audit as to whether they were aware of any instances of non compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud. 

- We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by evaluating incentives and opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included the evaluation of the risk of management override of controls and the risk of revenue recognition associated with voluntary income. We determined that the principal risks were in relation to: 

- Management override of controls, and in particular journal entries with characteristics we identified as high or elevated risk 

- Improper revenue recognition relating to voluntary income 

- Potential management bias in determining accounting estimates, especially in relation to the valuation of the Charity’s investment properties. 

- Our audit procedures involved: 

- Identifying and testing unusual journals made during the year and at the accounts production stage for appropriateness and corroboration; 

-Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates in respect of investment property valuations; 

-Evaluating the rationale for any changes in accounting policies, estimates or significant unusual transactions; and 

-Testing on a sample basis, donation and legacy income and gifts in kind and associated receivables to supporting documentation. 

These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. However, detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting

those that result from error, as those irregularities that result from fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

**ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021** 


## **Intangible Income** 

Intangible income, which comprises donated services or use of Trust property, is included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is material, quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised when there is no financial cost borne by a third party. 

## **1.3 Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met: 

•There is a present legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party – primarily to the Trust in furtherance of the charitable objectives 

- •It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement 

•The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. The Trustees have control over the amount and timing of grant payments and are usually given with the condition that an item or service has been purchased. Conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised. 

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

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs and IT support. These costs include recharges of appropriate proportions of the staff costs and overheads from East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust and the East Kent Finance Consortium and are apportioned on an average fund balance monthly across all funds. See note 1.1 and note 3. 

## **Fundraising costs** 

The costs of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the charity. This will include the costs associated with investment managers, administration costs for management of investment properties and other promotional and fundraising events including any trading activities and for the salaries of the fundraisers as agreed with the Trust. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Expenditures are given as grants made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds. They are accounted for on an accruals basis, in full, as liabilities of the Charity when approved by the Trustees and accepted by 

the beneficiaries. See note 3. 

## **Analysis of grants** 

The Charity does not make grants to individuals. All grants are made to the Trust to provide for the care of NHS patients in furtherance of its charitable aims. The total cost of making grants, including support costs, is disclosed on the face of the statement of financial activities and further analysis in relation to activity is provided in note 3. 

## **Recognition of liabilities** 

Liabilities are recognised as and when an obligation arises to transfer economic benefits as a result of past transactions or events. 

## **1.4 Fixed assets Investments fixed assets** 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Investments held by the Trustees’ investment managers are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair (market) value as at the balance sheet date as reported by the Investment Managers (Schroders T/as Cazenove). 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 current market value. The Trustees recognise that the main form of financial risk for the charity is the volatility in equity and other investment markets which are subject to global economic 

conditions and the investors’ responses to global incidents. To minimise risk the Trustees have identified that longer term investment produces a more stable return than short term investments and holds a mixed portfolio to alleviate any single area of instability. 

## **1.5. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates and the estimates and underlying assumptions are continually reviewed. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The valuation of Investment property is the most significant estimate within the accounts that has a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The estimate is based upon the professional judgement of the Charity's valuer (as detailed in note 1.6).
