This is the Charity’s Annual Report together with the audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Charity’s annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared on behalf of the Corporate Trustee in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

-
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust
-
Solent NHS Trust
-
Community, mental health and learning disabilities services of Isle of Wight NHS Trust
As part of the transition, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust General Fund and Solent NHS Trust Charity (charity no 1053431) merged to form Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity.

THE CHARITY’S ACTIVITIES DURING 2024/25
During 2024/25, the Charity received donations and grants totalling £183,000 made by individuals, companies, NHS Charities Together and League of Friends. This included grants from Lymington Hospital Friends and League of Friends of Gosport War Memorial Hospital.
Our supporters have continued to be amazing raising donations through personal challenges including marathon runs, step challenges, country and garden walks.
Each year, we are deeply grateful for those that choose to leave a gift in their Will to support us. These legacy donations help us to improve and enhance patient care, support staff wellbeing and improve facilities across the Trust. During 2024/25 we received 3 legacy donations totalling £31,000.
These legacy gifts are a powerful reflection of the Trust values that we share - compassion, dignity and care for every member of our community.
We would like to thank everyone who has remembered us in their Will.
brighterway, the charity of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, has marked a significant milestone in its environmental sustainability efforts with the completion of the latest phase of a tree planting initiative at Tatchbury Mount. This project, part of Hampshire County Council’s Hampshire Forest Partnership initiative and its ambitious plan to plant one million trees across the county by 2050, is transforming NHS sites into flourishing green spaces that promote well-being and biodiversity.

CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Charitable funds have been used during the year to contribute towards a wide range of projects including: -
-
Wellbeing items for staff across the Trust
-
Staff room and kitchen items for staff across the Trust
-
Bedding plants and sensory items for the garden, pool table and furniture for the day room for Petersfield Hospital
-
Gym equipment for Andover MSK Physio
-
Garden furniture for Parklands Hospital
-
Picnic bench and planting for Newtown House
-
Numerous Christmas related items across the Trust
-
Therapy stairs for the gym at Gosport War Memorial Hospital
-
Christmas items throughout the Trust
-
Support cushions for Dental at Royal South Hants Hospital
-
Teams’ wellbeing and away days across the Trust
-
Other small garden and green space projects throughout the Trust.
The Charity also gave education and training grants to provide staff with greater knowledge and skills to deliver better outcomes for patients over and above the standard NHS training.
In advance of Christmas 2024 brighterway took the decision, for the first time, to contract out the supply and distribution of Christmas Gift Bags for nearly 800 Inpatients. We worked with specialist gift supplier Corporate Box on the design, creation and supply of individual gift bags. The design was festive and personalised with a series of good quality Christmas gifts, not only to be opened on Christmas morning but to be enjoyed into the New Year. The feedback from patients and staff was very positive plus the process was streamlined, in turn delivering significant cost savings. All gift bags were delivered to each location in early December, so in plenty of time to be given out at Christmas. Based on last year’s success we will be repeating the exercise in 2025 and are already looking at ways in which the offer can be further enhanced without impacting the budget.

Martyn Smith (63) of Fleet, Hampshire, a governor for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, is on a mission to give back to the institution that saved his life. He aims to complete 52 marathons (one medley a week) which also equates to 2.5 million steps and swim 250 km between 1st January and 31st December 2025 to raise £25,000 for brighterway.
Martyn kicked off his vigorous training regime supported by the lifeguards and management team of Everyone Active in Fleet, Hampshire.
Married with three adult children and two grandchildren in his life, this endeavour is especially poignant and meaningful for the former businessman.
In 2015, Martyn suffered two life-altering strokes, leaving him unable to stand, walk, or even talk. Despite these daunting challenges, he has embarked on an ambitious journey to mark his recovery’s 10th anniversary.

HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2024/25
CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Corporate Trustee fulfils its legal duty by having due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit as given in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the fund objectives by designating funds, thereby respecting donors’ wishes and expectations.
The funds are predominantly the general fund and specific restricted funds which comply with the donors’ wishes.
Donations received from the Leagues of Friends or other registered charities to fund specific projects are receipted into the appropriate restricted fund and matched with the corresponding spend.
If services are transferred to a new provider, the funds are also transferred for the continued benefit of the patients or users of that service.
New executive and non-executive directors are made aware of their responsibilities as Board members on behalf of the Corporate Trustee by means of the Trust’s charitable funds policy which is published on the Trust’s website.
RISK MANAGEMENT
A risk register is maintained by the Trust and is regularly reviewed.
The Corporate Trustee is not aware of any major risks to which the Charity is exposed. The only areas of risk that it has identified are related to:
Financial Risk
The Trust’s investment policy and the need for clear financial procedures to be followed by staff within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The Corporate Trustee considers that it has mitigated these risks through its Charitable Funds Investment Policy and the issue of Financial Procedures guidelines.
One of the investment risks identified is that which can occur when the Corporate Trustee invests a proportion of surplus funds in the stock market which can result in losses if the market is falling. The Corporate Trustee mitigates this risk by using firms of investment managers to give professional advice and who are expected to take appropriate action in such circumstances.
In addition, the Trust mitigates risk by recognising and accounting for unrealised losses as and when they arise.
Governance Risk
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity and its Executive and Non-executive Directors are responsible for the governance of the Charity. Papers are sent out in advance of Charitable Funds Committee meetings, then discussed at the meeting, following which decisions are minuted and communicated to the fund holders.
12
HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2024/25
CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Reputation Risk
The investment managers are obliged to operate according to the Trust’s investment policy which states that no investments are made in tobacco stocks, nor companies that derive more than 10% of their turnover from alcohol, arms manufacture and trading, gambling, and pornography.
PARTNERSHIP WORKING
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is the Charity’s beneficiary and is a related party by virtue of being Corporate Trustee of the Charity. By working closely with the Trust, the Charity ensures that funds are used to best effect, after taking into account the main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of the Trust over the short, medium and long term.
GRANT MAKING POLICY
Grants are made in accordance with charity law, the stated objectives of the Charity and the wishes of donors.
A policy on charitable funds together with the Corporate Trustee’s Scheme of Delegation is published which requires all proposed expenditure to be reviewed and approved at the appropriate level. The following limits are currently specified:
| Expenditure/grants up to £1,000 | Head of Charity or Nominated Senior |
|---|---|
| Accountant | |
| Expenditure/grants up to £5,000 | Head of Patient Experience or successor |
| Expenditure/grants up to £10,000 | Any Executive Director |
| Expenditure/grants up to £25,000 | Chief Executive or any two Executive |
| Directors | |
| Expenditure/grants over £25,000 | Charitable Funds Committee acting on |
| behalf of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight | |
| Healthcare NHS Foundation Board of | |
| Directors. |
All charitable expenditure incurred in 2024/25 was approved in accordance with the above protocol. To ensure value for money, applications for charitable funding grants include questions about the purpose of the project, the impact the funding will have and the beneficiaries of that project. Whilst considering grant applications 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.
RESERVES POLICY
The Corporate Trustee has a policy that reserves should not be held as a matter of course beyond four years and that their specific approval has to be obtained if an
13
HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2024/25
CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
officer feels that a case may be justified. To date no such case has been made. This policy is regularly reviewed.
Reserves are only held in order to finance charitable fund expenditure plans for the next four years. Directors across the Trust are charged with formulating expenditure plans for the funds in conjunction with their services.
OTHER
As the Charity has a Corporate Trustee it is, in accounting terms, controlled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and it therefore its subsidiary. Financially, the Charity is not material to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, so it is not consolidated into the Foundation Trusts accounts.
This is not a decision made in perpetuity, because Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust remains the immediate and ultimate parent but is rather a judgement that will need to be made annually based on the relative values of the two entities. Based on the above Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust took the decision not to consolidate the Financial Statements for 2024/25.
FINALLY
The Corporate Trustee would like to sincerely thank the League of Friends, service users, patients, relatives, carers, staff, and the wider community for their kind generosity. Without their continued support, it would not have been possible for the Charity to have achieved what it has to benefit service users, patients and staff.

Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have prepared the financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019). Under that law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
● observe the methods and principles in Accounting and Reporting by the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective 1 January 2019);
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
● prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the Charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The financial statements on pages 21 to 32 were approved on behalf of the Corporate Trustee on 13 Janaury 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity (the "Charity"), for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to 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 accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
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 12 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.

HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024/25
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024/25
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity through discussions with trustees and other management and we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements continued
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Knight Goodhead Limited is eligible for appointment as auditor of the Charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 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 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’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019), 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: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 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.
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
1.2 Income
-
a) All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met:
-
i) entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or the Charity's right becomes legally enforceable;
-
ii) certainty - when there is reasonable certainty that the incoming resource will be received;
-
iii) measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
b) Gifts in kind
-
i) Assets given for distribution by the funds are included in the Income Statement only when distributed.
-
ii) Assets given for use by the funds (e.g. property for its own occupation) are included in the Income Statement 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 actually realised.
- c) Intangible Income
Intangible income (e.g. the provision of free accommodation) is included in the financial statements with an equivalent amount in outgoing resources, if there is a financial cost borne by another party. The value placed on such income is the financial cost of the third party providing the resources.
24
HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024/25
1. Acounting policies (continued)
1.2 Income (continued)
d) Legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes reasonably certain. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.
e) Grants receivable
Grants receivable are receipts from third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the Trust's charitable objectives. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their receipt have been met or where a third party has given reasonable assurance that they will make the grant, and they are recognised in the Income Statement.
1.3 Expenditure
The Trust financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party.
a) Cost of generating funds
The cost 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 third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the Trust's charitable objectives. 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.
c) Management and administrative costs
These are accounted for on an accruals basis and are recharges of appropriate proportions of a number of relevant administrative costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
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 financial statements as a restricted fund. Funds which are not legally restricted but have been designated for use for set purposes at the discretion of the trustees are classified as unrestricted funds.
All transfers between funds are made on the basis of Charity Commission guidance found in the Statement of Recommended Practice in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard in the United Kingdom (Charities SORP FRS 102).
1.5 Investment fixed assets
Investment fixed assets are shown at Fair value. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at mid Fair price, ex-div.
1.6 Realised 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 fair value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between Fair value at the year end and the opening fair value (or date of purchase if later).

Costs which can not be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned over all funds. The apportionment is performed at the end of each month and is based on the value of each fund as at that point in time.
No staff or Trustees are employed by the Charity.

13. Post balance sheet events
Following the balance sheet date, the trustees reviewed the classification of certain donations and transfers received during the financial year. It was confirmed that:
-
Unrestricted funds include donations received without any donor-imposed restrictions.
-
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that the trustees have earmarked for specific purposes (e.g. named wards or services). These designations are at the discretion of the trustees and may be amended or removed.
-
Restricted funds are those where donors have placed an unequivocal restriction on the use of the funds. This includes legacy donations with specific written conditions (e.g. “must be used for X”).
-
Donations accompanied by expressions of preference (e.g. “we hope this will be used for X”) but lacking binding language or documentation are not considered restricted and have been treated as designated funds where appropriate.
This clarification does not affect the overall financial position of the charity but ensures accurate classification and transparency.
