A message from our team

In April 2021, Covid-19 was still quite a serious concern across the country, however LNWH Charity looked forward with optimism, determined to continue its main goal of enhancing both the patient and staff experience on all three hospital sites.

The pandemic gave the charity the opportunity to demonstrate, that team effort can really make a difference both within the charity and other areas at LNWH NHS Trust. We recognised that residents in Brent, Harrow and Ealing, friends or family members of patients could see the great work conducted by staff and that they were inspired to contribute to improving conditions for patients and staff alike.

LNWH charity makes every effort to communicate and stay connected to people who wish to show their support through donations. The charity ensures that the wishes of donors are respected as far as possible and that they are included in the process of whatever project is receiving funding. Any funding commitment from the charity is taken extremely seriously, to ensure that money is channelled in the most appropriate way to provide help where it is most needed.

David Jenkins – Charity Director, London North West Charity Healthcare NHS Trust

Wendy George – Head of Charitable Funds, London North West Healthcare Charitable Fund

LNWH charity continued to fund many areas within the Trust such as the Children’s Centre, where major refurbishment was completed to make children feel more comfortable whilst receiving treatment on hospital site.

The Arthritis Centre received reclining chairs for patients which was funded by LNWH charity. The chairs offer a source of comfort to patients who have appointments in the Centre for long periods of time.

We offer a special note of thanks to all those individuals

who go the extra mile to ensure that the charity’s work benefits the patient and staff at our hospital sites in the way that it should.

In October 2021, LNWH hosted its first ever virtual half marathon. The response to this fundraising event was very positive, as many of our participants were staff members with some Senior Executives thrown in for good measure. Funds from this fundraising activity were donated to the reminiscent room with the dementia services at Northwick Park Hospital site.

Our Christmas Jumper Day in December 2021, added to the Christmas spirit around the Trust, giving staff a little light relief from the heavy

demands of their work. The charity also funded the Christmas gifts that were given to patients on the wards at LNWH NHS Trust.

We offer a special note of thanks to all those individuals who go the extra mile to ensure that the charity’s work benefits the patient and staff at our hospital sites in the way that it should.

We supported staff welfare provisions to help create a better work environment for the staff at LNWH NHS Trust. By funding cultural events such as Black History Month in October 2021 and wellbeing and staff morale boosting events such as the Virgin Global Challenge in July 2021, LNWH Trust WOW Board campaign and national awareness days such as the National Back Care

Week. During this period our charity financed staff training to keep healthcare professionals informed on the latest techniques and we organised our first virtual marathon in October 2021 to raise funds for a creation of Dementia Friendly Room at Northwick Park Hospital.

Makeover for LNWH NHS Trust’s new modular Children’s Centre Units

LNWH Charity was asked to support a new, child-friendly, fun, and aesthetically pleasing look for the LNWH NHS Trust Children’s Centres at Northwick Park Hospital and Ealing Hospital. The LNWH NHS Trust capital projects, were given charity revenue expenditure totalling £97,000 to fund the decoration and installation of colourful wall murals in Children’s Theatre Recovery, Outpatients and Waiting Rooms 1 and 2.

The refurbishments of these areas in the children’s centre really help to keep young patients calm and relaxed when they attend their appointments.

“ “

In particular the illustrations have really helped to create a child friendly atmosphere.”

Colour brightens up Children’s Units

Children’s Unit – Northwick Park Hospital

“The wall art is very good for distracting children when they come in for a procedure or short stay and it’s important that we make children feel as comfortable as possible in a hospital environment.”

In July 2021, Kay Larkin, Former Divisional Head of Nursing approached LNWH charity for funding the decoration and installation of colourful wall illustrations within the unit. Her vision was to have each room within the unit have a different theme.

The Rainbow Ward at Northwick Park Hospital was opened in September 2021. The children’s ward is a new modular build, has a Day Care Paediatric section within the unit, eight paediatric assessment rooms and a Paediatric Oncology Shared Care Unit Suite.

“I would like to thank LNWH Charity for their contribution to Rainbow Ward.”

Kay Larkin , Former Divisional Head of Nursing, Children’s Services at LNWH NHS Trust

Children and young people aged from birth up until their 16[th] birthday are accommodated at Rainbow Ward and they come for elective day care procedures, investigations, diagnostic testing, and cancer treatment.

The revenue funding provided by LNWH Charity has transformed the Trust’s usual standard magnolia painted colour walls into a child friendly, comforting and reassuring environment for patients and their families.

“Rainbow Ward is very child-friendly and engaging and the children really like the surroundings.”

Wilhelmina Johnson , Ward Manager, Paediatric Day Care Unit

Children’s Unit – Ealing Hospital

The new modular build Children’s Unit at Ealing Hospital was completed in December 2020 but the refurbishments are due to be finished in the summer months of 2022. The children’s unit at the Ealing Hospital site consists of a paediatric day care unit and paediatric out – patients’ clinic and caters for babies and children up to the age of 16. Additionally, children up to the age of 18 with special needs such as autism, development delay or those in care are also accommodated.

Additional to the aesthetic enhancements, LNWH Charity purchased play equipment. The play equipment helps to keep older children in a ward, calm and relaxed as much as possible in between having treatments.

Simon Njordge – Parent

Simon visited the Ealing children’s unit with his two children and one of them had an appointment. He commented that the unit is a good environment, it’s modern, colourful and the children feel comfortable. Simon has also been a patient in the past at Ealing hospital and said that he was happy with care that he received.

First visit to the children’s unit, at Ealing Hospital and her daughter is actually a referral from Colindale. Shrena said that they both felt so comfortable and that her daughter pointed at a picture when they arrived and knew that this was a different environment, in comparison to the rest of the hospital. Shrena added that her daughter was learning the different colours in the rainbow spectrum and played a coloured guessing game. According to Shrena, the unit is also an uplifting environment for parents and it’s very pleasant. Shrena likes the ceiling design which features blue skies and clouds and she is really pleased that she did not have to bring toys to the unit, in order to keep her daughter occupied before the appointment was due to take place.

Teliyha Bennett – Healthcare Assistant, Ealing Children’s Unit

Teliyha Bennett has been a Healthcare Assistant for 10 years and previously worked at Wexham Park Hospital. She has been at this children’s unit for three years. At Wexham she worked in A & E and as a Ward Clerk. She got a taste of working in healthcare through working in Admin and was encouraged to study nursing by a member of staff. Teliyha says that she works in a good team, they all work well together, show respect to each other and that their skills are utilised. They are encouraged to improve their ability and skills. She also states that the wall decorations are a good distraction tool for children particularly when it comes to blood testing. Teliyha also says that parents really notice the colourful illustrations around the children’s unit.

“All these features would not have been possible without the funding received from our hospital charity.”

LNWH Charity first ever virtual half marathon

LNWH charity funding helps cancer patients access end of treatment information

Last October, LNWH Charity organised its first ever virtual half marathon with over 30 members of staff participating.

The charity part funded Health and Wellbeing videos for all our cancer patients to watch at the end of treatment. The video replaces the pre-Covid pandemic face to face events which LNWH NHS Trust Cancer Services run every month. This visual technique allows patients to access the same information remotely.

Virtual half marathon participants raised more than £3,500 for the reminiscent room within Dementia Services at Northwick Park Hospital Site. The funding helped create an environment where patients with dementia, could revisit the past and think of happy memories. The work on the reminiscent room is now completed and has been officially opened in May 2022.

Dementia services gets charity funding through London Bridges Walk

The Charity has partnered with the Griffin Institute, St Mark’s Foundation, Hillingdon Hospital Charities and Red Lion Pouch Support to host the London Bridges Walk in June 2022. Participants completed the walk on the charity’s behalf and raised funds to improve the patient environment within the dementia services at Northwick Park Hospital.

Raising more funds for the dementia services helps with the effort to complete more improvements and convert more elderly care ward dayrooms into reminiscent dwellings from 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s era.

Prior to refurbishment work, people had to walk through the multi faith prayer room to gain access to the chapel, which made them feel like they were intruding on those who were praying or seeking some quiet time.

“ As well as the new furniture, the Faith Rooms now have a new door and corridor system, so that people can enter the chapel without disturbing others. The whole area now has new wooden flooring and the walls have been painted in a light colour, creating an even more open and calm environment.”

Reverend Julia Bevis-Knowles, Ealing Hospital Chaplin, remarked:

Lead Chaplain, Reverend Dave Byrne, commented:

“The Faith Rooms were looking really run down, so Reverend David Byrne and myself came up with some ideas for improvement, to make the Faith Rooms more welcoming and comfortable for the staff and patients who need to use them.”

“Reverend David Byrne and Revered Julia Bevis-Knowles approached LNWH charity to provide funding to replace the furniture

“The refurbishment and renovations have really transformed the Faith Rooms and people have commented on how beautiful those areas look. The refurbishment is also really appreciated by the staff as they feel that the chapel and prayer spaces are light, clean, peaceful, calm and welcoming.”

Ward and department refurbishment

Making patients more comfortable

LNWH Charity funding has made it possible for the Arthritis Centre at Northwick Park Hospital, to be furnished with brand new reclining chairs and tables, to help day care patients feel more comfortable whilst receiving their treatments.

The Arthritis Centre sees on average 15 patients a day, ranging from young adults to elderly. Patients stay about six hours in the centre and it’s really important that they feel comfortable as possible, whilst receiving pre-meds and sleeping during their appointment time.

“The chairs we had before were too old, didn’t recline and stopped working. We also had problems with the footrest and brakes not working. Our patients are limited in their movement and now we can use the remote on the reclining chairs to improve their mobility.”

Dona Gunasekera , Clinical Nurse Manager

Charity and family sofa funding offers respite and comfort

Jenner Ward is a cardiology ward on the Northwick Park Hospital site. LNWH Charity and Priya Pandy and her family provided the funds for sofa to be kept on the ward. The sofa was to act as a memory to Priya grandma who had received treatment for her heart condition.

The sofa was placed in the patient and relatives room and is somewhere comfortable for the patients to sit, if they want to watch some television or if they want some quiet time away from the noise of a ward.

“ The sofa has also been an item where relatives can sit with staff and have difficult conversations, possibly about loved ones who have passed away.

“ We are very grateful for the money that was donated so that we could buy the sofa for our patients and their families.”

Rachel Butler , Cardiology Matron, Jenner Ward and Coronary Care Unit.

New display screen in Multi Faith prayer room shares information with staff

The Multi Faith prayer room at Northwick Park Hospital, now has a display screen to share information with Trust staff.

The display screen eliminates the need for leaflets or posters to be left in the prayer room area and assists with upholding health and safety and infection control.

About 150 to 200 staff use the prayer room at this hospital site and it’s helpful that we have the display screen to keep them updated on information about the prayer room.

The display screen has just been installed so we will think more about how to make use of it fully in the next few weeks.”

Evelyn Otunbade, Moving and Handling Adviser at the Trust, applied for a charity funding grant to be able to offer staff more at the Back Care Awareness Week, compared to previous events.

With financial support from LNWH charity, the event in 2021 was able to focus on health and wellbeing, as well as offering hospital employees back massages, instead of just handouts.

LNWH Charity understands the importance of LNWH Staff maintaining their health and wellbeing.

LNWH Charity funding enabled me to go further with my goals for Back Care Week as I was able to order items such as ergomonic mouse wrists, mouse rests and massage sets including oils.

Charity funding leads to infection control improvement

LNWH Charity funds paid for five nurses and one registrar to attend a Aseptic Non-Touch Technique (ANTT) course, in March 2022. There were issues with infection control and the Critical Care team at Northwick Park Hospital decided that something had to be done.

The course that the staff members attended wasn’t funded locally so that’s why the Charity had to be approached instead.

The six staff members successfully completed the course and went on to become super trainers all three hospital sites for LNWH NHS Trust.

Consultant runs and raises funds for Endometriosis Team

Mr Stewart Disu, Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at Northwick Park Hospital, braved the tropical temperatures in Lagos, Nigeria, to complete a 5 Kilometer run on Sunday 27th March 2022 and raise funds for his Endometriosis team.

Prior to this race, Mr Disu had never completed in a 5 Kilometer run in the tropics and has only done a few months of preparation for it. The sponsorship money raised from the run is enabling the Endometriosis Team to keep up to date with research projects and new developments in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb begins to grow in other areas, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Endometriosis can affect women irrespective of age.

Pamela Singh steps up 26.2 miles for LNWH Charity

In Spring 2021, Seventy-seven-year-old Pamela Singh walked 26.2 miles to raise funds and say a huge thank you to staff at Northwick Park & St. Mark’s Hospital.

The 26.2 mile marathon walk was no small feat as Mrs Singh was working on recovering from some mobility difficulties after she broke her leg while helping a friend in 2015, but fitness is a way of life for Mrs Singh, who prefers regular swims and Tai Chi classes to keep fit and healthy.

It was the care that she received at the Orthopaedic Department at Northwick Park Hospital and her own GP practice in Harrow that motivated her to take on the fundraising walk activity.

At LNWH Charity, we celebrate the amazing fundraising efforts of generous people like Mrs Singh to provide our lifesaving services to the most critically ill patients and look after the well-being of our treasured NHS staff.

“ The staff have been amazing. Dr Kevin Flinson and their team are very special people. Their passion and determination to give the best care to their patients are evident in every little thing they do.”

Fundraising Strategy

The Charity’s profile was raised significantly during the pandemic and we have worked tirelessly over the last year maintaining a high external and prominent role.

At the same time, we have put a significant effort into supporting as many staff as possible throughout the Trust, to ensure that our internal profile remains high and there’s an increased level of staff awareness of what the charity does.

As time moves on and we develop our ‘anchor’ presence in the community, we will start to work with external stakeholders to not only raise our profile further but also to broaden the reach and scope of the LNWH Charity’s work.

LNWH Charity’s fundraising activity needs to be strengthened to support new activities and since 2021, we have been planning changes to our strategy and activities to ensure that we are able to produce the results, that will enable us to achieve a greater reach. Planned changes does include a greater focus on developing our community presence and using that as a

platform for greater penetration into schools, colleges, businesses, faith groups and other local organisations.

At the same time, the Charity has been developing plans to streamline requests for funding and ensuring that the structure of the funds that we hold is optimised, for best supporting both the Trust’s and the surrounding community’s work.

LNWH Charity is delighted to welcome Sofia Sheikh, the new Head of Fundraising, who will be instrumental in supporting the Charity with its fundraising strategy going forward. Sofia’s role will heavily involve helping the charity to stay on track and reach its main objective; to make a significant difference to the patient and staff experience at all three of our hospital sites.

Data retention policy

The data retention policy for the London North West Healthcare Charitable Fund has been developed and makes sure that all the Charity’s business or operational information in connection with its fundraising activity is kept only as long as it is needed.

Risk Management

LNWH Charity has adopted a framework under which risks are identified and monitored. The Charity conducts a formal risk assessment through a risk register.

The risk register is a review of the Charity’s existing and proposed operational, governance and management, financial, legal and regulatory activities. This ensures thatnew risks are spotted and existing risks are revised or removed, if no longer applicable.

Fundraising

Best practice, charity law and government policy and regulations are thought to be a major reputational risk that can result in a breach of trust or loss of registration. The risk is mitigated by implementing fundraising policies and procedures including GDPR policy and data protection policy, having audited accounts procedure, handing in audited

accounts reporting to the Charity Commission promptly, reviewing and updating the Charity’s literature, website and membership to NHS Charities Together which provides additional updates on policy changes.

Investment Returns

Extra income is generated from investing cash balance, and the loss of investment income is thought to be a huge financial risk. The risk is mitigated by the Charity’s investments being monitored on a regular basis so that trends can be detected and identified. Expert Investment Management consultants offer regular advice and they attend Charitable Fund Committee meetings frequently, to advise on the current status for the Charity’s investments.

Grant distribution framework

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The trustees produce the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and regulations.

The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to produce financial statements for every financial year. The trustees must produce the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom’s Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

It is the responsibility of the trustees to maintain adequate accounting records sufficient to demonstrate an explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy, that the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.

Independent auditor’s report to the Corporate Trustee of LNWUH Charitable Fund

Opinion

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.

We have audited the financial statements of London North West University Healthcare Charitable Fund (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.

Going concern

In our opinion the financial statements:

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.

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

Our conclusions based on this work:

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:

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 there is minimal complexity in revenue recognition or incentives for management to seek to manipulate revenue as commitments are not made in advance of funding being available.

We did not identify any additional fraud risks.

39

38

LONDON NORTH WEST HEALTHCARE CHARITY ANNUAL REVIEW 2021-2022

LONDON NORTH WEST HEALTHCARE CHARITY ANNUAL REVIEW 2021-2022

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 unusual accounts, unusual cash account combinations, journals posted with no description, journals with specific description, journals posted on the weekend 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.

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 We have nothing to report in these respects. Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit Trustees’ responsibilities opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon. As explained more fully in their statement

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 43, 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.

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:

Auditor’s responsibilities

We have nothing to report in these respects.

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.

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:

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.
