FOREWORD These accounts have been prepared by the Trustees under section 98(2) of the National Health Service Act 1977 (as amended) which the Secretary of State has, with the approval of the Treasury, directed. STATUTORY BACKGROUND The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is the corporate trustee of the funds held on trust under paragraph 16(c) of Schedule 2 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 unless Trustees have been appointed under s11 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust charitable funds are registered with the Charity Commission. MAIN PURPOSE OF THE FUNDS HELD ON TRUST The main purpose of the charitable funds held on trust is to apply income for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the services provided by the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Signed .on behalf of the Corporate Trustee Dated......27th November 2025................. 22 Independent auditor's report to the trustees of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust Charity Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust Charity (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements. including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Stsndard 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 2025 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended. have been properly prepared in accordan￿ with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practi￿. and have been prepared in accordan￿ with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Intemational 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 ststements 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 accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe that the audit eviden￿ we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 23 Other information The other infomiation comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infomiation and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial ststements or our knowledge obtsined in the course of the audit. or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees, Report" or sufficient accounting records have not been kept. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records. or we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of Trustee As explained more fully in the trustee responsibilities statement set out in the trustees annual report, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the trustee are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so. 24 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. The risk of material misstatement due to error or fraud has been assessed in conjunction with how intemal controls may mitigate any such risk. These controls are reviewed as part of the audit by performing systems walkthroughs to ensure they are operating effectively. Analytical review and substantive testing is also performed on all material balances and therefore any instances of non-compliance should be identified or considered as insignificant. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team" obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory framework. in which the charity operates and how the charity complies with that legal and regulatory framework inquired with management and those charged with governance about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. including any know actual. suspected or alleged instances of fraud discussed with management and those charged with governance any non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessments of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud. The risk of management override of controls was also considered an area of potential misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included testing of manual journal entries and other adjustments and evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant. unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as 25 these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. ## **Use of the audit report** This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in I an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting Policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have beerr prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of recommended practice.. accounting and reporting by charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 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 accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view,. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 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 presentation currency of these financial statements is sterfing. Al amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1,000. The Corporate Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about Northumbria Healthcare's charitable funds ability to continue as a going COn￿rn. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts. The charity's accounts are prepared on a going concem basis. The only obligated expenditure the charity is committed to in the next twelve monlhs is the administration costs of running the charity. There are sufficient reseNes to meet this commitment for the foreseeable future. The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The charity's Corporate Trustee and parent undertaking. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, includes the charity in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are prepared in accordance with FRS 102 and are available to the public and may be obtained from the Trust website {www.northumbria.nhs.uk). In these financial statements, the charity is considered to be a qualifying entity (for the purposes of this FRS) and has applied the exemptions available under FRS 102 in respect of the following disclosures- Cash Flow Statement and related notes: and Key Management Personnel compensation. As the consolidated financial ststements of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust include the equivalent disclosures, the charity has also taken the exemptions under FRS 102 available in respect of the following disclosures.. The disclosures required by FRS 102.11 Basic Financial Instwments and FRS 102.12 Other Financial Instrument Issues in respect of financial instruments not falling within the fair value accounting rules of Paragraph 36(4) of Schedule 1. As the charity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, it has taken advantage of the exemption contained in FRS 102.33A and has not disclosed transactions or balances with wholly owned members of this group. 29 1.1 Accounting Convention The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention. as modified for the revaluation of certain investments which are included at fair value. 1.2 Income a) Income is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduction in its liabilities. Income is recognised in the accounts of the charity when all of the following conditions are met- il Entitlement- control over the rights or other assets to the economic benefit has passed to the charity- ill Probable - it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gifl will flow to the charity,. and iii) Measurement- the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably. b) Gifts in kind i) Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Statement of Financial Activities only when distributed. li} Assets given for use by the funds (e.g. property for its own occupation) are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as income 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 actually realised. The basis of the valuation is disclosed in the annual report. c) Donations in kind Donations in kind {e.g. the provision of free accommodation) is included in the accounts with an equivalent amount in ongoing resources, if there is a financial cosl borne by another party. The value placed on such income is the financial cost of the third paty providing the resources. d) Legacies Pecuniary and residuary legacies are accounted for as income once the re￿Ipt of the legacy is probable. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred. the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled. If there is uncerlainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met. Income from reversionary interest of 'life interest. legacies is treated as re￿1vable when conditions associated with the payment have been recognised {e.g. death of a life tenant). Any material assets bequeathed to the charity but subject to a life tenancy interest held by a third party are disclosed in the accounts. e) NVS Shops All sales made in the NVS shops are in cash and are recognised at the point of sale. The principal purchases of goods to be sold are paid for on a direct debit basis at the end of each month and hen￿ no creditors are required 30 to be recognised. Any year end inventory in shops is excluded from the accounts as the Corporate Trustee does not consider it to be material. 1.3 Expenditure Charitable expenditure is expenditure related to the aims and objectives of the charity. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under heading that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met" There is a present level of constructive obligation resulting from a past event- It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement- and The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. a) Cost of raising funds The costs of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income for the funds held on trust. b) Grants payable Grants payable are payments made to linked, related paty or third party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies, in furtherance of the charitable objeclives of the tunds held on trust, primarily for the relief of Ihose who are sick. Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payments have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment. A constructive obligation arises when- We have communicated our intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant., We have a public announcement about a commilment which is spectfic enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant., and There is an established pattem of practice which indicates to the recipient that we will honour our commitment. The Corporate Trustee has control over the amount and timing of grant payments and consequently where approval has been given by the Corporate Trustee and any of the above criteria have been mel then a liability is recognised. However. when they are then those conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised. Where an intenlion has been communicated, then no expenditure is recognised but an appropriate designalion is made in the appropriate fund. If a grant has been offered but there is uncertainty as to whether it will be accepted or whether conditions will be met then no liability is recognised but a contingent liability will be disclosed. c) Governance Costs Governance costs are classified as a support cost and therefore have been apportioned between fundraising activities and charitable activities. 31 d) Support costs Support costs are those costs which do not relate direcdy to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and extemal audit costs and IT support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. e) Fundraislng costs The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity. olher than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity s objects. fj Charitable Activities Costs of charitable activities comprise all cosls incurred in the pursuit of charitable objects of the charity. These costs. where not wholly attributable. are apportioned be￿een the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 6. 1.4 Investment Fixed Assets i) Investment fixed assets are shown at market value. li} Quoted stocks and shares are included in the balance sheet al mid-market price, ex-div. iii) Other investment fixed assets are included at Corporate Trustee's best estimate of markel value. Inveslments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities indudes the net gains and losses arising on revalualion and disposals throughout the year. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at the current market value quoted by the investment analyst, excluding dividend. Other investments are included at the Corporate Trustee's best estimate of market value. The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment conceming equities within particular sector sub subsectors. 1.5 staff and Pension Costs No staff were directly employed by the charity during the year. Northumbria Healthcare Care NHS Foundation Trust fully re-Gharged Bright charity for the 12 whole time equivalent members of staff who work full time for the Gharity. 4 of these staff work in charity management, administralion and fundraising with the remaining 8 whole time equivalent staff working in the Northumbria Volunteer SeNice shops. Some of these staff members belong to the NHS Pension Scheme which is an unfunded defined benefit scheme which is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. The recharge from the Trust includes the employee contributions to thal scheme. For more information on the NHS Pension Scheme refer to the Trust annual report and accounts. 32 1.6 Structure of Funds When 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 or an endowment fund Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. Endowment funds arise when the donor has expressly provided that the gift is to be invested and only the income of the fund may be spent. Other funds are classified as unreslricled funds. Unrestricted funds which the Corporate Trustee has chosen to earmark for set purposes are also classified as designated funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed on notes 12.1 and 12.2. 1.7 Realised and unrealised gains and losses All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference beiween market value at the year end and open market value (or the date or purchase if later}. 1.8 Debtors Debtors are amounts owed lo the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount. 1.9 Cash and Cash equivalents Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments. 1.10 Creditors Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt. Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long tenn creditors. 1.11 Related Party Transactions Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is the corporate trustee of the Bright Charity as well as its main grant beneficiary- they are therefore related parties. Northumbria Healthcare makes a number of clerical and transaclion services available to the charity. These include: Management and govemance services at a cost of £243,000 {£110,000 in 2023124) fundraising services at a cost of £14,000 (£31.000 in 2023124)- see note 7. 33 accountancy and administrative services at a cost of £70,000 (£64,000 in 2023124) in support of the charity's grant making activities which are included within support costs - see note 7.
