# **NHS GREENWICH CHARITABLE FUNDS Registration No. 1097722** 

# **2025/26 Annual Report** 

## **1. Introduction** 

- 1.1 During the financial year 2025-26, NHS South East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) was managing an umbrella fund originally registered on 29 May 2003.  The umbrella fund is now known as _**NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds.**_ 

- 1.2 The original objects of the umbrella fund stated that: 

_**“The Trustees shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply income, and at their discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service for the Health and Wellbeing of the residents and staff in the population served by the Royal Borough of Greenwich”.**_ 

The Health and Care Act 2022 received Royal Assent on 28 April 2022, and Clinical Commissioning Groups were formally abolished on 30 June 2022.  Integrated Care Boards have taken on many of the responsibilities that Clinical Commissioning Groups formerly held. 

The Charity has no fixed assets after the sale of the Gables in January 2022. 

## 2 **Review of the Year Ended 31 March 2026** 

The charity undertook a strategic development exercise in 2023 which resulted in a new grant making strategy. This was with the view to spend down the remaining funds over a five/six-year period. 

The grant making strategy has two core aims: 

- **Prevent: Preventing health and wellbeing inequality in Greenwich** – focusing on programmes and projects which aim to tackle the contextual factors which can lead to poor health and wellbeing in the borough. 

- **React: Tackling current key health and wellbeing issues in Greenwich and reducing inequality in health and wellbeing outcomes** – focusing on programmes and projects which aim to tackle current health and wellbeing issues in the borough and reduce current inequality in health outcomes.  This may include funding projects with a geographical focus. 

The strategy has identified the need for the charity to seek a grant-making partner to manage the distribution of grants and to support in the process of the gifting of funds, rather than employ staff directly to do this. 

Working in partnership with the charity, the grant-making partner’s role is to ensure that the grant making is both impactful and targeted, helping the charity to realise the new grant making strategy in accordance with the wishes of charity committee.

NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds 

Following a competitive tendering process to secure a partner with skills and experience, Groundwork London were awarded a contract to support NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds over the next six years. The new partner was mobilised during the summer/autumn of 2023, with a dedicated website, for the ‘Greenwich Healthier Communities Fund’. 

The fund was launched in April 2024 after consultation with key stakeholders including the local voluntary and community sector organisations, in order to shape the grant application process and priorities. 

- 2.1 During the financial year ending 31 March 2026, the charitable funds was in receipt of income of £134.2k and incurred spend totalling £1,278.7k. The vast majority of expenditure was in giving out grants to local voluntary and community sector organisations 

- 2.2 There are two main strands of funding, the Enabling Strand and Delivery Strand, and we have had many strong applications, and our panels, supported by our grant giving partner, Groundwork London, have ensured a clear and robust process, involving good subject matter expertise, particularly from Public Health team in Royal Borough of Greenwich.   The panel makes recommendations to the committee for final approval. All unsuccessful applications were given bespoke feedback and offered a follow up support call. All applicants were also asked to submit feedback on the application process to help improve and develop the process for future rounds. 

- 2.3 The committee, with support from Groundwork and DG Cities our evaluation partner, reviewed the impact and learning from 2024/25, and feedback from the voluntary sector from Networking events, and through the consultation hub.   This was then fed into the refreshed prospectus, which was published on the dedicated website.   This explains that we welcome applications from groups or individuals who can demonstrate that their proposed project prevents or responds to health inequalities in Greenwich and aligns with the Greenwich Health and Wellbeing Strategy, which sets out the mental and physical health and wellbeing priorities for the next five years in the borough. 


- 2.4 We have also introduced an accessibility pot to provide specific assistance to enable bidders to apply for funding and reduce any barriers. This can cover up to £2,000 per 

**2 |** P a g e

   - applicant and has supported multiple bids. The fund can provide bespoke, additional support for individuals that face specific barriers to completing their funding application. We recognise that certain individuals and communities may require additional support due to language barriers, learning or physical disabilities, or health conditions. Therefore, the Accessibility Pot is designed to make the application process more accessible. 

- 2.5 The Enabling Strand aims to increase the ability and resilience of groups and individuals in Greenwich to deliver and improve services that prevent and respond to health inequalities. The strand aims to increase the skills, provide training and improve the eligibility of groups in Greenwich to access funding opportunities, resources and wider capacity building programmes. All applications are reviewed on a regular basis, and all funded bids are listed on a dedicated webpage which is regularly updated. 

- 2.6 The Delivery Strand aims to help organisations to a) continue delivering and develop, or b) start to deliver, projects that aim to prevent and respond to health inequalities in Greenwich. The strand aims to support organisations across the borough that possess the knowledge, skills and capacity to deliver projects that tackle health inequalities. 

- 2.6.1 Following our review in autumn 2024, we decided to create a Micro grant strand, which is to pilot projects or development of small existing projects.   These have a funding limit of £5k, and are evaluated on a regular basis, and all the awards are listed on dedicated webpage. 

- 2.6.2 The Delivery Strand now has three sub-strands: Small (£5k-20k), Medium (£20k-50k) and Large (£50k-£200k).     The Medium and Large Strands must address one of our four priority themes, which were identified in consultation with community and key stakeholders: 

   - Improving Health Outcomes for People with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism - Tackling Isolation 

   - Long-Term Health Conditions 

   - Active Healthy Living for Children and Young People 

- 2.6.3 The Medium and Large applications have all gone through our new community panel for short-listing, which is a group of 20 people who live and/or work in Greenwich to help us assess which applications will have the greatest impact on Greenwich communities, and decide which applications should receive funding.   All panel members are supported and trained.   The large applications then go through further face to face interview. 

- 2.7 DG Cities –were commissioned in 2025 as independent evaluators to work through the duration of the grant making process in order to 

   - Assess the impact of the GHCF on organisations and communities 

   - Provide knowledge exchange and capacity building to participating organisations in the fund. 

   - Feed back to the funder on how the programme has delivered against its objectives; 

   - Provide GHCF’s stakeholders with evidence, insights and stories to showcase impacts and learning from the VCSE sector in the borough. 

   - Highlight lessons learnt in order to inform future grant giving across sectors in Greenwich 

The first evaluation report was published in November 2025 and has shaped the further development of our grant making approach, along with some case studies.

NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Accounting Policies** 

## **1.1 Accounting Convention** 

The Financial Statements have been prepared under historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of investments at a fair value, and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards and policies for the NHS and the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102)” issued by the Charity Commission in 2019. 

The accounts were prepared on a going concern basis. On the 1 April 2020, NHS Greenwich CCG merged with other CCGs in South East London to form NHS South East London CCG. NHS South East London CCG was abolished on 01 July 2022, when it was succeeded by the NHS South East London Integrated Care Board (ICB). NHS South East London ICB is now the corporate trustee for the charity. On 17 April 2020, the constitution was amended to protect the funds for the health and wellbeing of residents and staff in the population served by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. 

The Trust meets the definition of a "Public Benefit Entity" under FRS102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the financial currency of the charity. Monetary amounts are stated in 000's 

## **1.2 Income** 

All income is 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) Probability - when it is probable that the income will be received. 

- iii) Measurement - when the monetary value of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

**12 |** P a g e 



NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds 

## **Income** 

## **(continued)** 

## **Legacies** 

Legacies are accounted for as income 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. 

## **1.3** 

## **Expenditure** 

The funds held on trust accounts 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 funds held on the 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. 

- c) Governance Costs These are accounted for on an accrual’s basis. 

## **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 itself 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 classified funds. The major funds held within these categories are disclosed in note 9. 

## **1.5 Investment Assets** 

Investments held as fixed assets are valued at fair value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **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 market value (or date of purchase if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year end and opening market value (or date of purchase if later). 

**13 |** P a g e 



NHS Greenwich Charitable Funds 

## **1.7 Pooling Scheme** 

There are no pooling schemes in operation. 

## **1.8 Material uncertainties** 

Having reviewed the Balance Sheet, the Trustees are satisfied that the Charitable Funds have the income and assets required to continue with current operations and that there are no material uncertainties about the entity's ability to continue. 

## **1.9 Debtors** 

Tax recoverable and other debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **1.10 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of the opening of the deposit. 

## **1.11 Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.
