Introduction from Jane Ollis, Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee

01 — Foreword

I am delighted to present this report and provide information about the Charity’s objectives, governance, resources and financial performance, together with a review of its activities and brilliant achievements in 2021-22. What a year 2021-22 proved to be. Despite the challenges and personal difficulties faced by so many, people’s capacity for care and generosity has been undiminished. Despite the fact that the Charity’s own fundraising initiatives were curtailed, many individuals and groups provided incredible support.

East Kent Hospitals Charity continues to make a significant contribution to hospital life, supporting all our hospitals across the diverse and varied communities we serve. It enhances what we do, by funding additional equipment and improvements to our facilities and the hospital experience of patients, visitors and staff.

Much of what the Charity delivers would not be possible without the exceptional support it receives. We are tremendously grateful for the generosity of so many people, as this plays such an important part in the work we do and is a great boost to everyone in the Trust. The Annual Report describes ways to donate and get involved with the Charity.

"ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED THE CHARITY WITH DONATIONS, LEGACIES AND OTHER FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AS WE MAKE POSITIVE DIFFERENCES THAT BENEFIT OUR PATIENTS, VISITORS AND STAFF." Jane Ollis, Chair of Charitable Funds Committee

During 2021-22, we received donations, legacies and fundraising income of £453k. In addition, we received £64k of income from the investments making a total of £517k extra resources to improve the lives of the people we serve.

During the year £0.1m was spent on those pieces of equipment and extras which make a difference to patients and staff. Various examples of how that money was used are set out later in this report, and we are proud of the Charity’s many achievements. I can assure you of our ongoing commitment to use our resources wisely.

On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank everyone who has generously supported the Charity with donations, legacies and other fundraising activities. We are grateful for your continued support as we make positive differences that benefit our patients, visitors and staff.

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.

It continues to be a 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.

Many thanks to all our supporters!

ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022

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.

Section 13 of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 does not require charities with an income of below £1 million to report on fundraising reporting. However, we are pleased to include these statements and promote openness and transparency.

The following areas are included:

Fundraising – the Charity does not use professional fund-raisers or door-to-door fundraising. All fundraising is carried out by our fundraising team or by supporters of the charity.
Regulation – the charity is registered with the Fundraising regulator and complies with the standards which apply to all fundraising.
Monitoring fundraisers – The Charity has not worked with any ‘On behalf of’ fundraisers (including third-party fundraisers, commercial participators and volunteers).
No fundraising complaints have been received; and
All staff members must comply with the NHS Trust policies and mandatory training which includes Safeguarding, customer services and Information governance training. The Charity is fully aware on the requirements to make sure vulnerable people are protected and unreasonable intrusions on their privacy.

Vincent Simester's Superhero Walk

A pint-sized superhero who could not walk a year ago has raised £500 for East Kent Hospitals Charity by completing 56 miles, in August 2021. Little Vincent Simester, three, donned a cape to take part in the Marvel superheroes ‘At Home’ challenge, which invites people with any form of disability to set themselves a challenge.

Vincent was born prematurely and spent 17 days on the Special Care Baby Unit at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate. He has cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia, but mum Lisa said they did not stop him living a normal life. She said: “Vincent is just Vincent, there is so much more to him than his disabilities.

“The team in the Special Care Baby Unit were absolutely amazing and we wanted to raise money to give something back. “We donated £100 when Vincent left the unit and always said we would raise more because we will be forever grateful to them for everything they did for us.”

“I hope we can show other parents whose children have cerebral palsy or other disabilities that it need not stop them achieving anything they want to.”

The Dixon Family's Inflatable 5K

Joanna and her family raised £1940 in July 2021, when they undertook a 5k inflatable obstacle challenge! Joanna said:

“We wanted to raise money for Tiny Toes as it’s an amazing charity which is close to our hearts. The beginning of 2021

started as a shock to us as our youngest arrived 12 weeks early and therefore required the help of the NICU. They provided 102 days of excellent care and we will forever feel that we cannot thank them enough for keeping our son alive.

The tough challenge was both fun and worthwhile and just a small way of showing our appreciation for the care and support that we received.“

Feisty Phoenix inspires friends' fundraising

A tiny tot with a huge personality inspired three friends to raise more than £2,300 for the hospital staff who gave her the chance to live. Phoenix Teanby was born 15 weeks early, in January 2020, and was cared for by staff in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the William Harvey Hospital.

The team also supported her parents Tori and Connor, and the care the whole family received inspired Joe Law, Anthony Dadd and Aaron Steward to run the Brighton marathon, raising money for the unit.

Joe said: “The team at NICU do amazing work and they did all they could to support Phoenix to ensure she could have the life every child deserves.

“She was a fighter from day one, earning the nickname Feisty Phoenix, and inspired everyone with the strength she showed.

“Her parents, family and everyone around her who loved her instantly knew that she was going to become the vibrant, beautiful and characteristic little lady she is today because of the way she conquered those early battles.

“But none of it would be possible without the support of the NICU team so we wanted to give something back by raising money for East Kent Hospitals’ Charity’s Tiny Toes appeal, which supports the unit.”

Pumpkin Pickers raise thousands for Padua

Spring Grove Primary School

A week of healthy and wellbeing activities helped children raise almost £3,000 for the hospital where a classmate received treatment for cancer. Pupils at Spring Grove School in Wye took part in a 10km walk, challenged teachers to a swimming contest, held charity netball and football matches and enjoyed yoga and dance classes as part of their health and wellbeing week. They collected a total of £2,710 for Padua Ward at the William Harvey Hospital, where five-year-old Daisy Loudon received chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with a rare cancer at the age of just two.

A family whose daughter is battling brain tumours have raised hundreds of pounds to support the children’s ward where she has some of her treatment. Rosa-Mae Linch was diagnosed in September 2018 aged just six and has undergone multiple brain surgeries and gruelling chemotherapy treatment.

Although her care is led by the specialist team at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, her weekly chemotherapy takes place in Padua Ward at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.

Daisy, who is in Year 1 at the school, had Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, or LCH, with tumours identified in her scalp, gut and spleen.

Her parents Hugo and Serena said: “ Daisy’s diagnosis was followed by a year of treatment, predominantly via chemotherapy and steroids, administered both at Great Ormond Street Hospital and at the wonderful Padua Ward at the William Harvey. Here, Daisy’s treatment was led by Jill Urand - a truly exceptional paediatric oncology consultant and an amazing person.

The family, who run Saffery Farm pumpkin patch near Faversham, invited customers to pop a few pounds in their collection box as they picked the perfect pumpkin.

“Dr Urand and her team cared for us all to the highest level to ensure that our journey - and most importantly Daisy’s - was as bearable as possible. Daisy continued to amaze us with her bravery and cheerfulness through days spent at the hospital and weekly blood tests expertly administered by the wonderful local community nurses.”

Mum Claire said: “Thanks to the amazing community nurse teams and her wonderful

consultants she has been able to have this weekly dose at the William Harvey. This means we don’t have to drive to The Royal Marsden every week and means Rosa-Mae doesn’t miss more school.

Daisy is now thriving, both at school and at home, but her family have been warned the cancer could recur so they are fundraising for medical research and have also donated money to charity Histio UK.

“Padua is wonderful place. Yes, it’s a children’s ward so no-one chooses to be there but the nurses, doctors, consultants, play therapists and all the staff make it a happy place where we feel safe about the treatment Rosa-Mae is receiving.

Dr Urand attended the school to receive the cheque on behalf of East Kent Hospitals Charity.

“We have spent a lot of time in the rooms on Padua over the last few years and everyone there wants to help and make the time spent there as best it can be given the circumstances.”

She said: “ It was a privilege to be able to visit the school and meet Daisy and her family again, and to see how well she is doing. “The children raised a fantastic amount and it will make a real difference to the experience of other young patients who are cared for on Padua Ward.

More than £1,600 was raised through donation buckets on the field, which will help improve the experience of children at the William Harvey Hospital, from funding special devices for children’s audiobooks, to ‘mediteddies’ which are designed to fit over IV bags, making treatment feel less scary for younger patients.

“We are hugely grateful and humbled by their support.”

Ann's Dementia Fund efforts

The wonderful Ann McGovern has continued to be a champion fundraiser for the Dementia Fund, undertaking the Virtual London Marathon in October 2021!

Ann McGovern was due to take part in the Brighton Marathon in April 2020, despite being diagnosed with cancer. But lockdown meant the event was cancelled, and she had to shield –

putting her training plans on hold. Ann took part in the challenge, with her friend Micala ‘Kip’ Hart, completing a route between Folkestone and Dymchurch.

Ann has raised over £7300 for the Dementia Fund since 2018- enough to fund an interactive system allowing people living with dementia to play music, enjoy games and take part in other activities while they are in hospital. The money has also helped to fund activity boxes for wards and to support activities such as lunch clubs and bingo sessions.

Sue's passion for the Dementia Fund

Sue Threadingham has been a committed and passionate fundraiser for our Dementia Fund, since 2016 and persevered in her fundraising activities, despite the lockdowns during 2020 and 2021.

Her very popular stall, selling home made jams and crafts via an ‘honesty box’ was extremely popular with her neighbours during the first Covid waves, and she has more recently been selling this produce- all made from her own garden- at vintage fairs across Kent, from her fabulous 1950s caravan!

Sue has raised £7200 to date, and is determined to continue supporting projects impacting patients living with dementia across our hospitals.

Henry runs the Paris Marathon!

Henry Cox, a Therapy Assistant Practitioner from Kent and Canterbury Hospital, entered the Paris Marathon in October 2021, in aid of East Kent Hospitals Charity's Dementia Fund.

He raised an amazing £114.21, enabling us to provide things such as: vital art activity sessions and therapeutic and interactive dementia-friendly spaces across all our sites, to help support our patients living with Dementia.

East Kent Hospitals Charity are proud to fund the innovative 3 Wishes Project at the William Harvey Hospital Critical Care Unit- the first acute Trust in the country to introduce this programme.

The 3 Wishes Project, allows the team to grant ‘wishes’ - simple, personalised requests reflecting the patient’s passion or need as they approach the end of their life, and aims to bring comfort to dying patients, their families and our staff by sharing kindness and compassion.

The project was made possible thanks to a fantastic £10,000 donation to East Kent Hospitals Charity from Bauvill who have chosen us as their Charity Of The Year.

Associate director of Bauvill, Matt Gurr said: “We wanted to give something back to the Critical Care Unit and to William Harvey Hospital as a whole. “Last year, when Covid took a grip of the hospital and the world, Bauvill committed to stay on site and help keep the hospital teams operational whilst responding to the pandemic.

“When the charity approached us to support this project, we were delighted to be able to help with a cause that holds sentiment to us as a business and as individuals. We look forward to supporting EKHC and 3 Wishes as our nominated charity of 2022.”

We have been honoured to be supported by the Kreston Reeves (Canterbury branch) since 2020.

During the first waves of the pandemic, the team from Kreston Reeves fundraised for and organised delivery of donations of shower gels, hand creams and snacks for EKHUFT staff, which were extraordinarily well received. The team have since selected our Helping Your Hospitals appeal as their Charity of the Year!

To date we have received £1081 from their fundraising efforts, and look forward to continuing to work with them over the coming year.

We are delighted to announce that WW Martin have opted to support East Kent Hospitals Charity as their Charity of the Year!

WW Martin are the contractors for the new Emergency Department Expansion at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother hospital, and will be putting on a golf day later in the year, in order to support charity projects within this department.

The Clinical Trials Unit at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate benefitted from an incredible donation, thanks to Hornby Hobbies. The firm, based in the town, handed over £140,000 to East Kent Hospitals Charity following sales of their limitededition Captain Tom Moore locomotive in 2020.

The money has been used to help create the specialised unit at the QEQM, helping to bring more innovative trials to patients, which opened in June 2022. Ms Jessica Evans, director of research and innovation for East Kent Hospitals, and chief executive Susan Acott met Hornby Hobbies chief executive Lyndon Davies to say a personal thank you for the donation.

Ms Evans said: “We are so grateful to Hornby for their fantastic donation, which is helping to make our vision of this Clinical Trials Unit become reality.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has really shone a spotlight on the importance of research in developing new treatments and we have recruited thousands of people to Covid-related research studies.

Hornby also donated one of the special Captain Tom Moore locomotives to the hospital to commemorate the link between them. Only 500 models were planned but, due to massive demand, 3,500 were actually produced. The 00-guage engine is a replica of GB Railfreight’s engine dedicated to 100-year-old Captain Sir Tom, who raised more than £32million for the NHS by walking around his garden during the first wave of the pandemic.

The Clinical Trials Unit will benefit patients across Kent, meaning people will no longer need to travel to London to take part in trials of the latest drugs or medical devices.

The £1.6million project involves converting the old Reculver Ward at the QEQM into a clinical space for research studies, and investing in the research infrastructure across East Kent Hospitals.

The unit hosts both major commercial studies such as trials of new drugs, as well as home-grown research led by EKHUFT clinicians.

Festive Cheer 2021

Marketing Campaign

For the first time ever, East Kent Hospitals Charity ran their Paid Ad campaign on Social Media. There were a variety of videos produced and shared which aimed to target people who wished to donate to the hospital patients for Christmas.

The videos featured a young child, an older person and staff members with the messaging "Give Santa a break this year, order via the Amazon wish list for the ones who won't be at home"

You can find the full videos here.

As well as the videos, the charity produced a greetings card to send to donors and supporters from the past 12 months, social media banners, email signatures and social posts to point towards the wish list and the results were amazing!

Impact

During the festive period, we received donations from over 35 individuals, businesses and communitiesand 30 of these donors were new to the charity.

It is possible that this increase in donors is thanks to the paid social media ads which we pioneered in 2021.

Donations included toys and craft items for children’s wards, sweet and chocolates for staff, Christmas trees for display and pyjamas for patients.

We estimate that we received almost £3400 worth of gifts in kind broken down below

Santa's Chimneys

Poorly children were guaranteed a visit from Santa at Christmas, thanks to NHS staff and B&Q in Canterbury. The store donated two fireplaces for the children’s wards at Padua Ward at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford and Rainbow Ward at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate.

It was organised by the team from East Kent Hospitals Charity to reassure young patients that Father Christmas would be able to deliver their presents on Christmas Eve. Charity projects officer Lizzie Warner said: “Some of the children were worried Santa wouldn’t be able to find them, as our hospitals don’t have chimneys and the doors to the wards are locked for security reasons.

“But thanks to these fantastic fireplaces, we could reassure them that Santa would be able to deliver their presents without any problems. “We’re hugely grateful to B&Q in Canterbury for providing us with this wonderful gift, and to our fabulous transport, estates, infection prevention, and health and safety teams who have been so helpful in making it possible.”

Hannah Port, showroom manager and charity committee leader at B&Q Canterbury, said: “Christmas should be a magical time for everyone, so when we heard that the children at East Kent Hospitals were worried about getting a visit from Santa, we knew that donating some of our fireplaces would mean that he could deliver their presents without a hitch.

“The staff at East Kent are so dedicated to making Christmas a special time for all the children in their care and my colleagues Alison, Jo, Teresa, Sally, and I are proud to be able to help them to hopefully bring some festive cheer.”

Joshy's fundraising for Padua

Joshy and his family have been committed fundraisers for Padua Ward, thanks to the support and treatment that Joshy has been receiving whilst he is poorly.

Inspired to fundraise after witnessing the impact that play therapy was having on Joshy during his stints on the ward, they handed over an impressive £1500 in December 2021 to the unit.

Joshy’s mum Kayleigh said:

“Our local play team on the Padua ward have been an amazing support to us and him throughout. They have always ensured Josh has ample play opportunity when admitted, have provided resources for play to help him understand his procedures and most importantly they have helped and encouraged me to advocate for Josh at the toughest times.

Play is essential for children in hospital, particularly those who spend a long time there. Children are shown to heal much quicker when given play opportunities and play allows children to work through the difficult emotions of intense treatment.’

The funds that have been raised were used to purchase a variety of sensory and other specialist toys for use on Padua Ward.

Projects and Impact

We have funded projects worth £1 million , during 2021-22. These include funding items of innovative medical equipment, patient education and welfare, education and welfare projects for staff, and building and refurbishment: improving the hospital environment.

Our Generation Hospital Doll

We are enormously proud of these projects, and have been guided and inspired by staff from across East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust to implement them.

We were delighted to fund this doll for the Child Health Teams: allowing children to role play hospital procedures when on the wards. These dolls are an important part of the play therapy that is offered on the wards, and provides a fun and reassuring opportunity to understand what will happen when in hospital, for the children.

Read on to find out more about how East Kent Hospitals Charity is making a significant impact to patients, visitors and hospital staff.

Newspapers for the Dementia Team at William Harvey

We funded newspapers for the Dementia Team at the William Harvey Hospital, allowing staff to have meaningful interaction with patients: discussing world events and helping to alleviate boredom when in hospital.

The Dementia Team said:

“I wanted to say a huge thank you to East Kent Hospitals Charity for providing us with some newspapers for our patients - they are invaluable in keeping patients up to date with news and they provide an excellent conversation starter as well as preventing patients from feeling lonely in hospital.”

Medi Teddy

East Kent Hospitals Charity funded MediTeddies for the child health team, which have been enthusiastically received. The Medi Teddy is a cover for IV poles, which can be personalised to each child using them.

These distraction items are hoped to reduce distress for the child receiving the infusion: helping them feel more comfortable within the hospital environment.

Managing a Diabetes Diagnosis in Children

Children with diabetes are learning more about the condition and how to manage it thanks to equipment bought with donations from East Kent Hospitals Charity.

The charity has funded special magnetic boards for the children’s diabetes team at East Kent Hospitals, which are used to teach young patients how their bodies work and how they are affected by diabetes.

The boards are part of a structured education programme known as SEREN, which stands for structured education: reassuring empowering nurturing, delivered over six weeks to children and their families.

Thanks to the funding, the team have been able to buy more boards so they can deliver the education programme to more families, helping them better manage their diabetes and avoid complications or longer-term health issues.

Dr Amy-Kate Hurrell, a clinical psychologist with the children’s diabetes team, said: “Education is key to helping young people and their families after they are diagnosed with diabetes.

“It can be a huge shock and is often very frightening to be told you have a condition you will need to manage for the rest of your life.

“But thanks to the boards and the SEREN programme we are able to give them valuable information right at the start of their journey so they understand what the diagnosis means and some of the things they can do to manage it.”

The charity has also funded specialist equipment for the NeedleLil’ Help clinics at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, Kent and Canterbury Hospital and William Harvey Hospital. The clinics, set up by the children’s diabetes team, are dedicated to working with young people with needle anxiety.

The equipment includes fake rubber arms, injection practice pads, play medical equipment sets and materials to make latex skin patches and stickers. The fake arms allow the young patients to have a go at finding a vein and inserting a needle themselves.

They also get to look at and handle different types of needles, and practise the steps leading up to a blood test while learning to manage their anxiety.

Amy-Kate said: “The clinic has been a great success and we have been able to make a real difference to the experience of our young people, who often need regular blood tests or injections.

“We are hugely grateful to the charity for funding the equipment and for their support of our team.”

QEQM Art

An artist whose life was saved by medics at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate has donated five huge artworks to say thank you.

Shane McCoubrey spent four weeks in Seabathing Ward at the hospital while staff battled to treat a life-threatening infection. During his stay, he noticed the corridors and waiting rooms felt bare and vowed to create artwork to brighten them up for staff and his fellow patients, adding inspiration and colour to public spaces.

Shane, who lives in Margate, uses local sand and tiny fragments of plastic he finds on the beach to create his work, alongside precious materials like gold leaf, diamond dust, crushed sea glass, and paints he makes from chalk rockfalls. It is layered with resin to create a 3D effect.

One of the pieces is on display near the microbiology department; a team Shane believes were key to his recovery.

He said: “Microbiology put so much work into finding the correct combination of antibiotics for my infection, nothing seemed to work.

“I’m allergic to penicillin so it narrowed their choice, but they put things together that had never been tried before and came up with what they termed ‘the Domestos of antibiotics’ to kill my infection.

“Dr Glass worked so hard there and I felt it was an isolated part of the hospital that no one thinks about so I wanted to help brighten it up.”

Another piece is on the main hallway to Seabathing Ward, while others are on display on the main thoroughfare through the hospital.

Shane said: “I saw the workings of a great hospital close up, from cleaning to nursing to doctors, and everyone was smiling and optimistic."

I felt they needed a feeling of wellbeing that could inspire people to appreciate art and what it does for us all. Being in hospital is never a great experience and it can be stressful, so I hope the artwork helps brings some colour and comfort.

Shane’s work forms part of a new art trail at the hospital, including a limited-edition Damian Hirst piece named Rainbow Butterfly gifted by the Heni Gallery.

Turner Contemporary in Margate also shared six pieces celebrating the theme of space and Margate’s long history of creativity. Sanjivan Kohli, head of development at Turner Contemporary, said: “Throughout the pandemic, the gallery has continued to offer free access to art and culture, maintaining a space open to all the community, promoting wellbeing, encouraging debate and inspiring new ways of seeing and thinking. “Sharing art with the hospital during lockdown meant the gallery could offer new ways of delivering its charitable aims, helping even more people benefit from having access to world-class art in the local community.”

And leaders at Global Generation church in the town donated a print of Banksy’s work Game Changer in recognition of the work of the hospital’s staff during the pandemic.

East Kent Hospitals Charity funded the exhibition of all the work and the pieces were unveiled by outgoing Trust Chief Executive Susan Acott, who said the gift of art was truly special.

She said: “Our experience of Covid has caused us to re-evaluate the world around us and given us an opportunity to reflect and think about what is beautiful and what we value.

“We received so much support from our communities in the first wave, with gifts of everything imaginable, from snacks to hand cream, scrubs to Easter eggs, but knowing people want to share something as beautiful as art with us is truly fabulous.

“Our corridors are very long and they can feel very uninspiring, and thanks to these generous donations they now feel a lot more welcoming and I know it will be appreciated by everyone who sees the work.”

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 £2.5m, of this total £1.7m 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, £0.8m of funds were held in unrestricted funds. These 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).

Going concern

These accounts have been prepared on a going-concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed the Charities plans and have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, 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.

Where our income came from ;

The Charity received a total of £0.5m income for the year of which £0.5m related to legacies received. Compared to £1.4m in 2020/21 principally due to grants (£0.4m) made by NHS Charities Together and a significant corporate donation (£0.1m).

The charity has worked proactively with their Investment managers – Cazenove (part of the Schroders Group) and 2021/22 saw a net gain on investments of £0.2m (£0.4m 2020/21).

Investment income received in the year from dividends and interest was £64k (£62k from 2020/21). This represented a total yield of 2.30% for the year against a benchmark performance of 3%.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022

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 89% (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 £0.4m

Building and refurbishment £0.35m
Patient education and welfare £0.15m
Staff education and welfare £0.03m

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 £143k showing grants to the Trust of £1.0m (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.

Objectives & Activities

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.

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."

DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A2FBA6-7110-4D69-8D9C-49D05101DB67

ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022

Reserves Policy

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 3% 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.

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.

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.

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 2022 was £2.6m (excluding cash of £11k).

2021/22 saw an unrealised gain on investments held of £0.2m. Dividends for 2021/22 were £64k.

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.

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 2022 the reserves were identified as below: -

Total Unrestricted funds £0.8m Less property funds (0.1m) Freely available reserves £0.7m

The level of reserves held at 31 March 2022 is £0.4m 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.

10 — 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 94.

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 trustee is responsible for preparing a Trustee's Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustee is required 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. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.

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

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

Opinion

12 —

Independent Auditors Report

We have audited the financial statements of East Kent Hospitals Charitable Fund (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022, 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' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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.

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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in this regard.

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.

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

In our evaluation of the trustee's conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the charity's business model, 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.

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.

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, 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

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

s explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' responsibilities in respect of the Trustees' annual report and the financial statements set out on page 66 to 69, 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.

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.

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: 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;

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.

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
Assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagement team's:
understanding of, and practical experience with audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation;
knowledge of the sector in which the charity operates; and
understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements specific to the charity
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement, we obtained an understanding of:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 90A2FBA6-7110-4D69-8D9C-49D05101DB67

ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022

the charity's operations, including the nature of its income and expenditure and its services and of its objectives and strategies to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement.
the charity's control environment, including the policies and procedures implemented by the charity corporate trustee to ensure compliance with the requirements of the financial reporting framework.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's corporate trustee, as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's corporate trustee 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 its corporate trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2022

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective date 1 January 2019, as per the October 2019 Charities SORP and the Charities Act 2011.

East Kent Hospitals Charity represents a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s’ ability to continue as a going concern and uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts. The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis after consideration by the Corporate Trustee that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Such consideration includes a review of committed income and expenditures, cash flows and reserves.

The Corporate Trustee does not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

then the income is not recognised in the year. It is not the Charity’s policy to defer income even where a pre-condition for use is imposed

Arrangements measured with sufficient are in place to mitigate reliability.

trust, unless a signed document is received and approved by Trustees.

Gifts in kind are valued at a reasonable estimate of their value to the Charity. Gifts donated for resale are included as income either when they are sold or at the estimated resale value after deduction of the cost to sell the goods

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).

1.7 Realised gains and losses

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value (or date of purchase if later).

Investment income and

gains/losses are allocated monthly according to the average fund balance, to the appropriate fund and included within the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.12 Funds

The funds are classified in the accounts in three categories, Restricted, Unrestricted and Endowment Funds. Restricted

ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022

Funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor and/ or the Corporate Trustee at the inception of the fund. Unrestricted funds are those which the Corporate Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds which are not legally restricted but which the Corporate Trustee has chosen to earmark for set purposes. Endowment funds are funds where the capital is held in perpetuity to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent. The income earned on these funds will be categorised as restricted or unrestricted according to the restrictions imposed by the donor.

1.13 Financial Instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial Instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of investments which are subsequently measured at fair value. A financial asset is derecognised when it is settled, or when the contractual rights to the cashflows expire. If substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, the financial asset is derecognised. If substantially all the risks and rewards are retained, the financial asset is not derecognised. A financial liability is derecognised only when it is cancelled, expired or discharged.

1.14 Support, facilities and service costs

Support, facilities and service costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, facilities and costs of administration, costs of fundraising, 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 are apportioned on an average fund balance monthly across all funds.

1.15 Recognition and valuation of Donated Goods

Donated goods, facilities and services are recognised when the Trustees have evidence of entitlement and it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

1.16 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustee considers to be appropriate for the following reasons: - the business model of the charity is such but it's charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the charity. - the Trustee has reviewed the cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that

the charity will have sufficient funds to meet it's liability.
