Foreword by the Chairman of the Charitable Funds Committee
-
Welcome to our annual report for 2022/23. We are a charity whose corporate trustee is the board of Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWLFT) and we work for the benefit of NHS staff, patients and their families in Central, North, & North West London, Milton Keynes, Surrey, and the surrounding area, as well as offender care institutions across the South East of England.
-
We exist to enhance, but not replace resources available to the NHS to meet the needs of staff, our patients and their families.
-
2022/23 has seen the NHS start to move on from immediate crisis of the pandemic, while at the same time continuing to care for those who live with the physical and mental legacy of the disease, as well as addressing the backlogs which have built up in elective care over the past few years.
-
The past year has also been one of looking to the future for the CNWL charity. Key milestones during the past year have been:
-
The approval of the charities three to five-year strategic plans following wide consultation with stakeholders
-
The recruitment and appointment of the charities first Development Director – Neil Harman, who comes with a wealth of experience in both the Hospice and air ambulance charity sector
-
The audit of the charity’s stakeholders, brand and message as a basis for launching fundraising appeals later in 2023 and beyond
-
The charity also said goodbye to two key supporters within the Corporate Trustee – Professor Dorothy Griffiths, who as Chair of the Board of CNWL has been a stalwart of the charity over her tenure in the post, and Hannah Witty, while whose work as the Trusts Chief Finance Officer was relatively short, her support, wise council, and enthusiasm made a significant impact on helping the charity steer its way through the strategic review of the past couple of years.
-
Despite the current economic pressures on families and companies, I am confident that over the next twelve months the charities investment in its infrastructure and planning will bear fruit in the growth of donations – both solicited and unsolicited.
-
I would like to thank everyone who has donated gifts or money this year. Without your support the charity is unable to make the beneficial impact we look to deliver, and we are extremely grateful that at this difficult time you are willing and able to support us.
-
The charity will continue to focus on helping the NHS staff, patient and their families to live fulfilling and healthy lives. If you would like to get involved, details about how to do this are at the end of this report. Please support us, as every pound makes a difference.

Trustees Annual Report
Who we are
-
CNWL NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (CNWL Charity) is a registered charity (registered number 1082989). We exist to raise funds and receive donations for the benefit of the patients of both Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWLFT) and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&IFT). By attracting donations, legacies and sponsorship, CNWL Charity can make a real difference for the patients, service users, carers, their families and the staff who look after them.
-
Providing both mental and physical healthcare in over 150 locations in Central, North, and North West London, as well as Surrey, Milton Keynes, and offender care services across a large area of South East England, both CNWLFT and C&IFT are centres of excellence for healthcare and our key partner in fulfilling our charitable aims.
-
We would like you to support us in our crucial work so please read on and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us.
Our Values
-
The CNWL NHS Foundation Trust has four key values which the charity shares, these are: Compassion, Respect, Empowerment, and Partnership.
-
In addition, the charity has a further four values which are exclusive to its work, these are Innovation, Independence, Transparency, and Collaboration.
-
It is the responsibility of the Corporate Trustee, staff, and volunteers to demonstrate these eight values in their actions and decisions, and those who apply for grants must show how one or more of these values is embedded in their application, in order for it to be successful.
Our Vision
- The charity is working to build a world where “thriving communities work together to create fulfilled lives”.
Our Beneficiaries
-
The CNWL charity will focus on enhancing and enriching the lives of NHS service users and carers as the primary beneficiaries of the charity’s work.
-
NHS staff may benefit from initiatives and opportunities which charitable funds develop, but only where it can be demonstrated that service user and carers derive benefit (even if indirectly) from the charity’s support of NHS Staff.
-
The role of the charity is to enrich, enhance, support and innovate, in order to enable service users and carers to experience the highest quality of care it is possible to deliver.

Our Purpose
-
By raising donations and grants and by careful management of our existing funds, CNWL Charity provides a public benefit by making grants to CNWLFT and C&IFT, and other organisations that support the work of these NHS healthcare providers and the organisations it works with.
-
The Charity works to promote improved health and well-being for our people and communities; we do this by investing in people and projects and ideas which complement and enhance what is provided by the NHS we aim to do: our objectives and activities
-
Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution and the wishes and directions of donors. In making grants, we endeavour to reflect the wishes of patients and staff by directing funds towards areas they tell us are most in need. During the year 2022/23, grants totalling £580k were made. When considering where to focus our attention our corporate trustee’s board and, particularly, the members of the charitable funds committee have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and what this means for the CNWL Charity.
-
Our future plans are to increase our level of fundraising to achieve the target of reducing dependency on Investment income to no more than 50% of incoming resources. The Charity seeks to raise sufficient income to cover our overheads, and a grants programme of approximately £100k per year. On top of this we will raise sufficient income to fulfil major appeals which will help us work with our NHS partner to transform the health prospects for patients with mental and physical health conditions in our community.
What we have achieved: highlights from the activities undertaken in the year
Strategic Review
-
Following the charities experience during the pandemic, the Corporate Trustee agreed in December 2020, that the time was opportune to undertake a root and branch review of its strategic vision, impact, structure, and activities.
-
To deliver the strategic review, the Corporate Trustee appointed an independent facilitator – Bayes Business School Centre For Charity Effectiveness.
-
The review was completed in March 2022, and the strategy was supported by the Executive Board of the CNWL NHS Foundation Trust and the Charitable Funds Committee, before being formally adopted by the Corporate Trustee in May 2022
-
The Strategic review has identified three goals for the charity during 2022 to 2025:
-
a. Enhance the patient, service user and carer experience and wellbeing.
-
b. Enhance the staff and service user experience, wellbeing, and engagement
-
c. Invest in community-based programs, that promote healthier, more fulfilled lives.
-
The first action on delivering the strategic plan was to recruit a Development Director to take the lead on the development of a Fundraising, Marketing and Communication strategy.

Gifts In Kind
-
The CNWL Charity has continued to receive gifts in forms other than cash over the past twelve months.
-
Many of the gifts received are from grateful patients and family, are of small value (such as chocolates) and are not formally recorded by the charity.
-
Although not recorded, such gifts in kind are greatly appreciated by staff - not only for what they are, but for the what they represent – recognition of the immense value that the public put on the work of NHS staff.
-
The Charity has also received gifts from companies and other traders. Some of these have been solicited, while others are given out of a desire to support the staff and patients of the Trust. These Gifts in Kind are recorded, and a list is provided below.
-
The charity would like to thank all of these donors for their continuing support of the NHS

clinical understanding, and the quality of patient experience whether in hospital or at home
- This report will look at three aspects of the charity’s activities, to provide a better understanding of the impact that the charity makes
The Impact of the Charities Strategic Review
-
In December 2020 the Corporate Trustee undertook an 18 months strategic review of the charities structure, activities, and impact, facilitated by Bayes Business School, and in collaboration with stakeholders – including staff patients and carers, as well as Trustees and other organizations – both commercial and voluntary
-
As a result of the review, in the latter half of the 2022 the Charity created and appointed to the role of Development Director. The charity immediately submitted and was awarded a £30,000 development grant from NHS Charities Together for the purposes of developing the charities capacity.
-
This early success has led to forward planning and developing key activities that will be delivered in 2023-24 and beyond. The development grant contributes to or entirely funds developing the charity Value and Brand proposition, implementation of a CRM system and delivery of the first charity appeal due in December 2023.
-
A further NHS Charities Together Stage 3 grant has been applied for to improve the staff welfare facilities on South Wing at St Pancras Hospital - a former Victorian workhouse, which during the pandemic intensively cared for patients recovering from the most severe impacts of the disease.
-
Another key project which has begun is the development of the Income and Engagement strategy, which will conclude towards the end of the summer 2023, which Bayes Business School are supporting given their familiarity with the Charity. It is intended that
this strategy will lay the foundation for the future development of the charity, and deliver the goals of the charities Strategic plan
- The Development of the CNWL charity is being built on experience, a sound understanding of best fundraising practice, and working to maximize the benefit to key stakeholders of the limited resources we are currently able to offer. On this foundation, the Corporate Trustee believes the charity has a strong and sustainable future
Great Foundations
-
The last twelve months has seen two research grants awarded, the opening of the 2023 call for research proposals, plus our first ever jointly funded research project with Diabetes UK.
-
The Small Steps research project, the largest ever award made by Great Foundations, came to its conclusion in 2023. The project focused on children’s foot health and has produced some 16 publications thus far generating international interest.
-
The new understanding the research has uncovered spans parent and health professional views of children’s foot health, use of online information and technology for footwear selection by parents, how children feet change shape and experience different pressures as walking matures, and creation of advances in measurement techniques. In addition Two PhD candidates funded by the project have now taken up positions at Loughborough University and Children's Hospital Los Angeles and other staff are taking work forward between the Universities of Salford, Brighton, Kings College London and Keele. The project was also able to return to the charity unspent funds amounting to £71,036 which will be invested in future research projects.
-
Great Foundations have made the first two independent research funding awards under the new awards scheme, and these went to:
Page | 12
-
Dr Lindsey Cherry (University of Southampton) for her project “Development of a decision aid for offloading device selection for people with diabetic foot ulceration” with collaborators Dr Emma Cowley, Dr Katharine Surname and Dr Mike Backhouse from University of Warwick. This research will help clinicians and people with diabetes better share decision making around managing foot ulceration, and explore NHS clinician contributions to effective shared decision-making.
-
Dr Kavin Wylie (University of Dundee) for his project “IFOQUSS – Impact of Foot Problems: Qualitative Study on Social Participation” with collaborators Dr Jacqui Morris, Dr Anna Hatton (University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia) and Dr Stewart Morrison (King College London). This qualitative research will explore how older people’s perceptions and experiences of poor foot health influence social participation, a critical part of maintaining their independence and quality of life.
-
The call for research proposals for 2023 is now open with grants due to be awarded in August 2023.
-
Partnership with other funding agencies is a key strategy for leveraging best value from the Great Foundations fund. Dr David Stephensen, long standing member of the Scientific Committee, led Great Foundations representation during our first ever joint funding award with Diabetes UK. David is Deputy Director of Research and Innovation and NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the Royal London Hospital and brings a wealth of scientific, clinical and senior leadership acumen to Great Foundations. The successful project addressed the national challenge of how to help prevent diabetes related foot ulcer, which costs close to 1% of the entire NHS budget each year. Thanks to our funding research is now underway investigating how wearable senor technologies can help people protect their own feet from high pressures that cause foot ulceration. The project is led by Prof Neil Reeves of
Manchester Metropolitan University with health behaviour support based at Keele University.
- It is hope that this initial collaboration with Diabetes UK will be a success and lead to more opportunities in the future
Arts in Health
-
The past twelve months have proved to be another year of notable achievements, with the gallery on the St Pancras site able to continue its outstanding achievements thanks to the support of the CNWL charity.
-
LIFE IN THE AGE OF COVID (23/6/22 – 23/9/22) was a rare commission for The Arts Project inspired by the pandemic lockdown with the arts as a tool through which to reflect thoughts, feelings and memories about what we had learnt from the COVID lockdown.
-
The commission attracted over 40 expressions of interest and from a shortlist of five Jackie Smith (Chair of C&I NHS FT at the time) selected the installation concept of Alana Jelinek. The concept involved an epic mural painting of London from a bird's eye viewpoint painted over the entire walls of the gallery. Within this mural 21 grids offered space to 21 contributors with artwork reflecting themes, ideas and responses to living in a confined space. The final installation included contributions from both staff and service users.
-
The installation invited visitors to walk through the gallery to the sounds of the dawn chorus and bird song by renowned sound artist Rob Godman. The result was a unique experience that provided a thoughtful experience and is the
Page | 13
subject of an award-winning short film made by Anna Bowman also called LIFE IN THE AGE OF COVID.
-
We followed this exhibition with an end of the year exhibition PIXELS AND PIGMENTS: REAL LIFE AND DREAM WORLDS (17/10/22 – 13/1/23) that compared creativity made in the digital age with computer technology alongside more traditional handcrafted analogue art work including sculpture, paintings and drawings. This exhibition also featured staff and service users along with professional and self-taught artists. The exhibition attracted over 80 visitors and benefitted artists with sales and provided a donation to the Charity.
-
We ended the year with the return to the gallery of LOUDEST WHISPERS (6/2/23 – 12/5/23) . This is the 14[th] year of this exhibition, supported by forum+ and a notable collaboration with students from the University of Westminster. Linked to a funded programme entitled Facing The Public, we worked with Professor Pippa Catterall and mentored students in a short film project, a research presentation evening on Representation of Gender in Film and Television as well as supported a student Martha Jennings who created an installation MEMORIA:TECHNICA that celebrated LGBT+ practitioners in film/television and photography both past and present, inviting visitors to contribute to a roll call of names and craft involved.
-
We are also fortunate that documentary filmmaker Anna Bowman creates short documentary films for us which are wonderful film records of our Gallery activities over the years. The films reveal a sense of a community family of artists and supporters embracing the value of arts in health care. The films are now entered and noticed by global short
film festivals with the short film LIFE IN THE AGE OF COVID a finalist in panel selection for the Dublin World Film Festival in 2021 .
-
The ARTS PROJECT continues to benefit from the technical digital and social media skills of our Operations Manager Marius Els who has maintained our strong on-line presence during the pandemic.
-
The gallery allows artists to sell work with a 20% donation to the CNWL Charity. During this year £497 has been raised.

Our charitable work was made up of the following programme:
-
Staff Welfare and Amenities. We spent £17k on initiatives to ensuring staff are well trained and supported benefits the quality of care they provide. Of course, the CNWL NHS FT as employer has a duty to ensure its staff are well trained and able to do their work but we can add those extra amenities and support additional training.
-
Patient Welfare and Amenities. In total, we spent £190k on patient welfare such as patients’ Christmas parties.
How we ensure your funds are spent wisely
- Spending charitable money is only part of the ensuring the charitable objects are achieved. To ensure the charities funds are well spent applications for Unrestricted Fund grants include questions about the objectives, impact and success criteria for the proposed project. We ask the applicant what the outcome of the grant was both in terms of what they spent
Page | 15
the money on and what difference it made to the challenge they were seeking to overcome. This information informs future grant making policy as well as providing a basis for assessing our performance.
-
We also ask fund advisors of Restricted and Designated funds to provide a brief report on what they spent the money on and the difference it made to the lives of beneficiaries.
-
Research grant holders are required to provide an annual report explaining the course and outcome of their work. This is reviewed by the Scholl Scientific Committee and a summary report submitted to the Charitable Funds Committee acting on behalf of the corporate trustee. Key indicators used to measure the success of funded research include the number of peer-reviewed publications and the number of presentations to national and international meetings.

The Executive Directors of Trust agreed to promote “Pennies From Heaven” (PFH) a payroll deduction donation scheme. From August 2019 the Trust has encouraged new and existing staff to join the scheme. As monthly donations can be between £0 and 99p per staff member per payslip (or a maximum of £11.88 per staff member per year), amounts received to date have been extremely modest. However, the potential to generate a large and regular turnover means that this will remain as the principle form of Unrestricted fundraising into the future.
-
The Charity did not promote an “NHS Big Tea” across both CNWL Trust and C&I Trusts on the 5[th] July 2022.
-
CNWL NHS Foundation Trust provides clinical services to individuals addicted to gambling. The Corporate Trustee has decided that it is inappropriate and will accordingly not accept donations which have been generated through gambling activities for the benefit of CNWL Trust.
Fundraising by the Charity
Our fundraising performance
-
The CNWL Charity does not currently have a fundraising team to organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters both in the hospital and in the wider community. Neither does the CNWL Charity use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators.
-
The Charity has not received any complaints about fundraising activity this year.
-
The CNWL Charity has not formally signed up to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. However, since November 2017 the CNWL Charity has voluntarily adopted the Code of Fundraising practice as the minimum standard for all fundraising activities undertaken in the name of the charity – whether by itself or a third party.
-
During the year the total donations, legacies and income from fundraising came to £341k in comparison to last year of £277k . The charitable funds committee considers this to be in line with the historic trend for the charity but to be regarded as a minimum in future years as fundraising takes off.
-
The charity benchmarks our fundraising activity with our peers through the Association of NHS Charities and monitor the comparative success of campaigns and overall fundraising cost to income ratios. We continue to perform well with a low cost to income ratio compared to the average but
Page | 16
we underperform for the overall value of donations against the average for an NHS charity with a focus on grants making. By seeking to raise our fundraising profile through the new strategy we hope, in time, to bring our funds raised up to the average for NHS children’s charities linked with large NHS Trusts and foundation trusts.
What we plan to do with your donations: our future plans
-
We will achieve our mission by working with the both CNWLFT and C&IFT to develop the facilities and environment to treat service users of all ages with mental and physical health conditions – whether this care is delivered in hospital (in or outpatient), or within a community setting (GP practice or the patient’s home). Where it can be shown that service users will benefit, the charity will provide support for NHS staff to develop the skills they need.
-
Our detailed plans for the future will be determined by the impact of the fundraising, marketing and communication strategy, which is will be developed with the appointment of the Development Director. However, in broad terms the charity will:
-
expand our fundraising activities towards achieving our goal of reducing dependency on Investment income to below 50 % every year.
-
spend the funds we raised to meet the needs of patients, service users and carers, which they have identified the meeting of this need as having a material impact on the quality of their lives
-
to maintain and expand our support for patient focussed clinical research building on the Dr William Scholl Unit for Podiatric Development Priority Setting Partnership launch in November 2019
-
to maintain general support for equipment and buildings at a minimum of £100,000 per year.
-
Your support makes these plans possible and to help us please do consider donating.
How we manage the money
Our grant making policy
-
The Charity makes grants from both its unrestricted and restricted funds. Within the unrestricted funds, grants are made from general funds, and designated (earmarked) funds. The income generated by the Dr William M. Scholl Podiatric Development endowment is solely applied in the making of research grants to. advance the understanding and treatment of medical conditions of the foot and lower limb:
-
General funds. These funds are received by the Charity with no particular preference expressed by donors. The charitable funds committee invites applications from any member of the hospital, and other organisations which support NHS patients of the Two NHS Foundation Trusts the charity supports. Based on their knowledge of the Trusts, the committee agree funding priorities and score the applications for quality and value for money. Grants are targeted at projects in areas of the Trust that do not have access to other funds to assist them.
-
Designated (earmarked) funds . These funds are established for a particular location, team, or service of the
Page | 17
trusts. They are overseen by fund advisors who can make recommendations on how to spend the money within the designated area. Fund advisors’ recommendations are generally accepted and these funds can be spent at any time.
- Dr William M. Scholl Unit for Podiatric Development income . The Charity manages a separate permanent endowment of $1 million, under a total returns policy. The income generated from the endowment capital, and retained interest and gains is held in a separate fund and applied in the making of research grants to advance the understanding and treatment of medical conditions of the foot and lower limb. The Scholl Scientific Committee identifies suitably robust research projects, and the charitable funds committee decides which, if any, projects to fund based an assessment of quality, value for money and how well they match the objects of the charity.
Less designated funds (£2,371k) Total reserves £1,023k
- The charitable funds committee intends that designated funds are spent within a reasonable period of receipt and therefore expects to only maintain reserves sufficient to provide certainty of funding for the research programme and continuity for general grant making. Therefore, the target range for reserves is between £1m and £1.5m to ensure the stability of grant funding.
The minimum reserve requirement is calculated as follows:
Requirement for grants making activity £1,000k
Requirement for all other charitable £500k expenditure
Total reserve requirement £1,500k
Our reserves policy
-
The charitable funds committee has established a reserves policy as part of its plans to provide long term support to CNWLFT &C&IFT for research, education, new equipment, staff and patient welfare and building work.
-
The charitable funds committee calculate the reserves as that part of the charity’s unrestricted income funds that is freely available after taking account of designated funds that have been earmarked for specific building or major equipment purchase, research and other projects.
-
The reserves currently stand at £1,023k and are calculated as follows:
Total unrestricted funds of
£3,394k
The reserves held are currently below our target range due in large part to investment losses and we anticipate some of this ground will be recovered through better investment performance.
- The charitable funds committee expects that Unrestricted/ Designated and expendable restricted funds will be spent within five years based on the current levels of expenditure as at 31 March 2023. It therefore regularly reviews the balances held in Unrestricted/Designated funds against this benchmark unless it has been agreed that a different period is more appropriate based on the reason for the designation. Where the fund has not been spent within five years, the charitable funds committee will determine whether the fund is likely to be committed in the near future and the extent to
Page | 18
which there is a continuing need for the particular Unrestricted/Designated funds. Where it is decided that the designation is no longer necessary or the designated fund has been inactive for more than five years, the funds are closed and transferred to reserves.

Net current assets represent cash held on deposit less the value of accruals (money owed to others for expenses chargeable to the year) and outstanding liabilities.
Creditors falling due after more than one year represent the balance of multi-year research grants and multiyear grants towards specific posts.
Capital funds represent the Scholl endowment which is held as capital in perpetuity so that only the income is available for distribution.
Restricted income funds represent money which can only be used for specified purposes.
Page | 19
Unrestricted income funds are funds available to be spent within the objects of the charity which can legally be spent wholly at the discretion of the trustee. In practice, respecting the nonbinding preferences expressed by donors, the charitable funds committee has sub categorised the unrestricted income funds under two headings.
Designated (earmarked) funds represent some 200 separate funds which the charitable funds committee has created to accord, as far as practicable, with the specific intentions of the gifts received through wards, departments and specialties. By designating funds, the committee ensures that those gifts are channelled towards charitable purposes in those areas. These funds are supervised by about two hundred fund advisors from the wards, departments and specialties concerned.
General fund represents those funds available for distribution by the trustee which have not been restricted or earmarked.
About our investments
- The trustee holds the Scholl endowment as Investment Fund Income Units, on the advice of Investec Wealth & Investment Limited with a view to striking a balance between income yield and the preservation of the real value of capital. Investments are made on a total return basis and Income is reinvested by the investment manager.
the trustee to invest in a wide range of shares and investments, provided they are not speculative. The portfolio is structured to permit a range of investments intended to yield a competitive rate of return in difficult market conditions and part of the portfolio is invested in hedge funds. In addition, the charitable funds committee has decided not to invest in tobacco securities, pornography and online gambling because of the proven link to poor health which would make such investments contrary to our charitable aims.
-
Appeal funds and funds intended to be used to pay grants in the near future are held on deposit to minimise investment risk.
-
Investment performance is monitored by the Charitable Funds Committee by reviewing regular reports from the investment managers. During the year, the total return, including dividends and interest, in the value of the Scholl Fund Investment Portfolio decreased by 6.50% , Pooled Fund Investment Portfolio decreased by 6.04% , while the COIF Funds Portfolio decreased by 3.78% . This does not compare favourably with the benchmark set by the committee.
-
Other investments of CNWL Charity are managed by both Investec Wealth & Investment Limited and CCLA with the objective to maximise the income receivable whilst allowing a degree of capital growth. Since these funds represent unrestricted income funds including reserves, the emphasis is on maintaining a high level of liquidity and a low to moderate investment risk. The governing documents allow

Trustee arrangements
-
The CNWL NHS Foundation Trust is the corporate trustee of the CNWL charity. The corporate trustee’s responsibilities are therefore carried out by the CNWL Trust board of directors. The board is appointed in accordance with the CNWL Trusts constitution. Details of CNWL Trusts board membership can be found below:
-
As CNWL Charity has a corporate trustee it is, in accounting terms, controlled by CNWL Trust and is therefore its subsidiary. Financially, the charity is not material to CNWL Trust and so the option has been taken not to consolidate charitable funds into the CNWL Trusts accounts.
-
The CNWL Trust does not include members of C&I Trust, the CNWL Charity, therefore does not have a corporate trustee that includes representation from C&I Trust. The CNWL Charity recognises this discrepancy, and makes available space of the Charitable Fund Committee for a non-voting member from C&I Trust to ensure the views of this beneficiary are represented and considered.
-
CNWL Trusts board meet annually, at a separate meeting - as corporate trustee to:
-
review and adopt the CNWL Charities Annual Accounts
-
review the membership of the Charitable Funds Committee

Risk analysis
- As part of the business planning exercise carried out during the year, the Charitable Funds Committee has considered the major risks to which CNWL Charity is exposed. They have reviewed systems and identified steps to mitigate those risks. Two major risks have been identified and arrangements have been put in place to mitigate those risks.
Fraud committed against the charity
-
The committee recognise that the CNWL Charity has a high exposure to risk from Fraud – both in terms of resources entering and leaving the Charity
-
The committee recognises, that due to the dispersed, and extensive nature of the organisations it supports, and the income that they generate from patients, service users, carers and supporters there is a danger that income may be diverted away from the charity to meet local need, or through deliberate fraud. The Charity encourages all donations to be made electronically through its Just Giving Website (which also allows for the collection of Gift Aid), or exceptionally through a cheque sent to the Finance Department of CNWL Trust at 350 Euston Road. The Charity makes use of the CNWL Trust, and C&I Trust internal communications systems to advertise these approaches, and to discourage the donation of cash.
Fall in investment returns
- CNWL Charity historically generates a high percentage of its expendable resources from investing its cash balances and generating dividends and gains. The committee considers the loss of investment income to be a major financial risk. The risk is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers, having a diversified investment portfolio and regularly reviewing that portfolio. The committee makes use of benchmarking information when reviewing the portfolio. In addition, the Committee is committed to diversifying the sources of income, and reducing the charities dependency on Investment income to below 50% of its generated resources
Page | 26
- The CNWL Charities’ permanent endowment, the Dr William M. Scholl Unit for Podiatric Development, has a in an additional risk, in that US$1 million must be retained by the charity at all times, this exposes the charity to dangers of currency fluctuations. The Endowment is managed separately to the charities Pooled investments, with its own strategy and on a total return basis, the committee considers that the use of a total return approach helps stabilise the income available to spend on grant making.
Related parties
-
CNWL Trust is the corporate trustee of CNWL Charity and is therefore a related party.
-
C&I Trust is an NHS provider, independent of CNWL Trust, but who the CNWL Charity holds charitable monies which support and benefit staff and service users of C&I Trust.
-
The CNWL charity may pay grants to other NHS and charitable bodies where they provide services which align with our charitable objectives. Although the committee is careful to consult with representatives of these organisations formally through their committee meetings and via other, less formal contacts, they retain their independence to act in the best interests of the CNWL Charity and the charity’s beneficiaries.
Our relationship with the wider community
- The ability of CNWL Charity to continue its vital support for both CNWL Trust and C&I Trust is dependent on its ability to increase donations from the general public. CNWL Charity also seeks to grow a strong relationship with members of staff of the both NHS Trusts without whose cooperation the ability to make an effective contribution would be much diminished.
Volunteers
On behalf of the trustee body, the Charitable Funds Committee would like to pay tribute to the members of staff who give of their time in support of the work of the CNWL Charity, in developing ideas and working with us to identify how we can help them care for the patients, service users, carers, and their fellow staff.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the trustee’s annual report and accounts
Under charity law, the trustee is responsible for preparing the trustee’s annual report and accounts 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.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice requires that the trustee:
-
selects suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
makes judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
states whether the recommendations of the SORP FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
Signed on behalf of the trustee:
Name: Claire Murdoch
Date: 10 January 2024
-
states whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepares the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed and the rules of the charity, within the framework of trust law. The trustee is 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 trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by the trustee under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. The trustee has general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to the trustee to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1. In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ; 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 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) 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 are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The trustee has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).
In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
Our conclusions based on this work:
-
we consider that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;
-
we have not identified, and concur with the trustee’s assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.
Page | 30
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.
Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
-
Enquiring of trustees, other management and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
Reading Charitable Funds Committee minutes.
-
Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because of the simple nature of the income received by the Charity which requires little judgment in determining its recognition. We therefore assessed that there was limited opportunity for Charity to manipulate the income that was reported. We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
We performed procedures including identifying journal entries to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included those posted to seldom used accounts, unusual cash account combinations, and material post year end journals.
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement related to compliance with laws and regulations
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the trustee and other management (as required by auditing standards), and discussed with the trustee and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
The Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation), and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Page | 31
Whilst the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations, we did not identify any others where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustee and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Other information
The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if:
-
based solely on that work, we have identified material misstatements in the other information; or
-
in our opinion, the information given in the Trustee’s Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements.
-
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.

Trustee’s responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page X, the trustee is responsible for: the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view; 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; 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 they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities
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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities .
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee as a body, in accordance with section 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s 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 trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES ON THE ACCOUNTS
1 Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
With respect to the next reporting period, 2021-22, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Charity are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets.
1.2 Income Recognition
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
a) Donations
Donations, are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
b) Gifts in kind
-
i. Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Statement of Financial Activities only when distributed.
-
ii. Assets given for use by the funds (e.g. property for its own occupation) are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources when receivable.
-
iii. Gifts made in kind but on trust for conversion into cash and subsequent application by the funds are included in the accounting period in which the gift is sold.
In all cases the amount at which gifts in kind are brought into account is either a reasonable estimate of their value to the funds or the amount
Page | 38
actually realised. The basis of the valuation is disclosed in the annual report.
c) Legacies
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
a) Cost of generating funds
The costs of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust consist mainly of investment management costs and will include any legal fees where appropriate for the income receivable.
d) Endowment Fund
The Scholl permanent endowment includes realised and revaluation gains and losses as well as investment managers' fees. All income received into the Scholl Endowment fund is available for use by the Scholl Restricted fund for the furtherance of its activities.
e) Interest on funds
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio.
1.3 Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is
b) Charitable Activities
Charitable activities are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the funds held on trust's charitable objectives to relieve those who are sick. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. This includes grants paid to NHS bodies.
c) Governance Costs
These costs relate to the independent review of the charitable fund and include the costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the Charity as opposed to the direct management functions inherent in generating funds, service delivery and programme or project work. These activities provide the governance infrastructure which allows the Charity to operate and to generate the information required for public accountability. They include the strategic planning processes that contribute to the future development of the charity. These costs are accounted for on an accruals basis.
Page | 39
d) Support Costs
The costs of functions which support more than one of the Charity's activities have been allocated to those activities based on time spent in the furtherance of the Charity's objects.
e) Grants payable
Grants payable are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the funds held on Trust's charitable objectives to relieve those who are sick. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. This includes grants to NHS bodies.
f) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
*Mid-Market Price is a price of a security in-between its offer and bid price, used in computing investment performance statistics. These prices appear in the stock / share data tables of most newspapers.
*A stock trades ex-dividend on or after the ex-dividend date (ex-date). At this point, the person who owns the security on the ex-dividend date will be awarded the payment, regardless of who currently holds the stock.
1,6 Capitalisation of tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets including artworks are capitalised where:
-
it is held for use in delivering services or for administrative purposes
-
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to, or service potential be provided to, the Trust
-
it is expected to be used for more than one financial year
-
the cost of the item can be measured reliably
-
the item has cost of at least £5,000, or
1.4 Structure of funds
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot it be spent, are accounted for as Endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are designated funds.
- collectively, a number of items have a cost of at least £5,000 and individually have cost of more than £250, where the assets are functionally interdependent, had broadly simultaneous purchase dates, are anticipated to have similar disposal dates and are under single managerial control.
1.7 Realised gains and losses
1.5 Investments
Investments are shown at market value. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the balance sheet at mid-market price, ex-dividend.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are
Page | 40
calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value (or date of purchase if later).
1.8 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 that its charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds to support from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the charity. The charity therefore has no specific commitments and no committed costs as detailed in note 11.1.
The Trustee has reviewed the cash flow forecasts 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 its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The Trustee has also considered the implications of inflationary pressure on these cash flow forecasts and consider that as a result of its operating model explained above, even if no further funding is received in the 12 month period, the charity has sufficient cash reserves to pay all committed costs.
Consequently, the Trustee is confident that the charity will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The value of the artwork collection of USD 27,025 (£19,871) have been converted to reporting currency at $1.36, the historic exchange rate published by Assets Publishing Service of UK Government. For the accounting purpose, CNWL Charity recognised the value of artwork in the income and included them in the expenditure as the value of individual artwork are below £5,000 and do not meet the criteria for capitalisation.
