Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Report 2020/21
the charitable funds as well as Charity Commission information on trustee responsibilities.
Strategic Objectives
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The charity’s objectives are as follows: -
“The trustees shall hold the trust fund upon trust to apply the 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.”
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity annually with operational management of the charity reviewed quarterly. The review assesses the performance of the charity over the previous year and helps ensure that our aims, objectives and activities remain focused.
There is currently one constituent member charity within the group registration. The name and individual objects are:
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity
“For any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service”
Activities
The charity is largely funded by donations and/or legacies received from patients, their relatives, and the general public and other organisations. The overall strategy of the Charity is to provide support via: -
Patients Expenditure Purchase of small items of equipment, provision of services, and the provision of facilities not normally provided by or in addition to the normal NHS provision that are exclusively for the benefit of patients.
Staff Expenditure a) Motivation of staff, by improving staff facilities and by providing services that improve staff wellbeing.
4
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Report 2020/21
- b) Education of staff by providing education over and above what would normally be provided by the NHS.
This expenditure is exclusively for the benefit of staff.
Whilst respecting the wishes of the donors, the Corporate Trustee has ultimate discretion in accepting donations, and if accepted to apply the charitable funds, in accordance with the NHS Act 1977 sections 93 and 94, where service changes have taken place or it is impractical to maintain the separate designated fund.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Relationships with Related Parties/External Bodies
The Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity works closely with individuals within the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust. Local fund advisers within the organisation identify local priorities, which enables the charitable funds to be directed to ensure an effective contribution is made in support of their organisations.
Review of the Finances, Activities, Achievements and Performance of the Charitable Funds
The overriding strategy of the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity is to hold the trust funds upon trust and apply the income for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service, subject to the limitations of their individual objects.
The charity relies mainly upon the generosity of patients and their relatives and other donors who are familiar with, or have experienced the care of the participating NHS body, or who are sympathetic and generous in their support to their local NHS service.
The Trust received five individual grants from NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) totalling £180,006, this being income from fundraising done during Covid-19 for the NHS (including the Sir Captain Tom monies). The grants should be spent on enhancing the well-being of NHS Staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19, as part of the Trust’s COVID-19 response.
The grants have been given to us with restrictions, and how we can utilise them will be constrained accordingly.

Consolidation of NHS charitable funds
NHS foundation trusts are required to consolidate their charitable funds with the NHS FT statements to produce group accounts, however, this is only required where the charitable funds held are deemed to be material. Following discussions with the trust auditors the decision was taken not to produce group accounts on the basis of materiality.
COVID-19
The Charity does not actively fundraise and therefore the total income received over the last three financial years has been fairly consistent with no significant fall in income being reported due to Covid. During financial year ending 31 March 2021 if the grant monies received from NHS Charities Together in respect of Captain Sir Tom Moore were omitted then other income for the year would have been consistent with the previous two financial years. The charity is essentially reliant on donations and legacies from patients, their relatives, and other donors who are sympathetic and generous in their support of the charity.
Future Plans
The charity plans to apply for further grant income from NHS Charities Together (Stage 3 Grant) the deadline for this is December 2021.
The charity intends to continue to manage the funds in an appropriate manner. In general the charity does not actively fundraise, however, a small number of fundraising activities were held during the year to raise funds for patient welfare. The charity is essentially reliant on donations and legacies from patients, their relatives, and other donors who are sympathetic and generous in their support of the charity. Fund holders are to be encouraged to use the resources they hold in a timely manner, in accordance with the wishes of the donors.
Statement of Financial Position
At the balance sheet date the Charity held no fixed assets.
Within the assets there are no restricted or unrestricted fund debtors to report. The creditors have a balance of £9,662. This being: £4,144 quarter 4 2020/21 management charge owed to Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust by the charity; £330 quarter 4 2020/21 Independent

Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Report 2020/21
Examination Fee owed to Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust by the charity; £5,188 being thirteen other creditors.
Reserves Policy
At the balance sheet date the Charity had total reserves of £289,884, consisting of £1,559 of unrestricted funds and £288,325 of restricted funds.
The Charity generally expects to spend its resources in a timely manner, at the same level as income is received taking one year with another. This expectation is monitored and where income is seen to be significantly exceeding expenditure action will be taken to expend in accordance with the Charity's objectives.
Investments Policy
The Charity does not hold sufficient funds to justify investment in any form of equities.

1. Accounting Policies
(a) Accounting convention
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
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 the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities published on 16 July 2014 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.
(b) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered, the impact of the going concern pandemic, the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
(c) Funds structure
The trustee is responsible for administering the charitable funds.
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be allocated the fund is classified either as:
-
an endowment fund (where the donor has expressly provided that only the income of the fund may be expended) or
-
as a restricted income fund (where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose) or
-
as an unrestricted fund (where the donor has not specified a charitable purpose) where the donation will be expended at the trustees discretion in accordance with the objects of the charitable trust.
The charity currently has no endowment income funds.
The charity currently holds one small designated funds (see note 13). Designated funds are set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects.
07/14/2021 - 08:52:52

Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Accounts 2020/21
(d) Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources and it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
(e) Income from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is virtually certain; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled and it is virtually certain that the amount of incoming resources is known.
(f) Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
(g) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
(h) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been differentiated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs attributable to ensuring the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs. Management costs have been allocated to the charitable fund in a manner agreed by the trustees. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed within the notes to the accounts.
(i) Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs.
07/14/2021 - 08:52:52

Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Accounts 2020/21
(j) Fixed assets
The charitable funds held no fixed assets as at 31 March 2021.
(k) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(l) Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(m) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
(n) Reserves policy
The Charity generally expects to spend its resources in a timely manner, at the same level as income is received taking one year with another. This expectation is monitored and where income is seen to be significantly exceeding expenditure action will be taken to expend in accordance with the Charity's objectives.
Compliance with the Charity's Reserves policy is evidenced by an excess of expenditure over income this reporting period.
(o) Fixed asset investments
The charitable funds held no fixed asset investments as at 31 March 2021.
(p) Pensions
The charity has no employees and as such has no liability for pension contributions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 10.
Responsibilities and basis of report
and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
