2. Structure, Governance and Management of the Charitable Funds
Trust Deed
The Charity is governed by a declaration of trust dated 19 August 2003.°
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity administers the individual funds of the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity.
Within the Charity are a number of funds relating to particular localities and departments. The charity manages spending through local fund managers (who are managers within the Trust) who are allocated funds to spend in accordance with agreed authorisation limits. Fund Managers manage these funds on a day-to-day basis within the standing financial instructions and standing orders and powers of delegated authority set by the Corporate Trustee. The Trustees oversee the work of the fund manager and have the power to revoke a fund manager's remit or, subject to any specific donor restriction, direct the use to which funds are put.
The Corporate Trustee is Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (see Trustee Arrangements section above for further detail). The Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors of the Trust Board share the responsibility for ensuring that the NHS body fulfils its duties as Corporate Trustee in managing the charitable funds.
The Trust Board, on behalf of the Corporate Trustee, has delegated responsibility to manage the charitable funds to the Charitable Funds Committee. The Chief Finance Officer of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust is responsible for the day-to- day management and control of the administration of the charitable funds and reports to the Committee. The Chief Finance Officer has particular responsibility to ensure that the spending is in accordance with the objects and priorities agreed by the Committee and the Board; that the criteria for spending charitable monies are fully met; that full accounting records are maintained; and that devolved decision making or delegated arrangements are in accordance with the policies and procedures set out by the Board on behalf of the corporate trustee.
The Secretary to the Trustees is the Trust's Company Secretary.
The Treasurer is the Trust’s Chief Finance Officer.
Day to day management of the charity is carried out by the officers of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust under the supervision of its Charitable Funds Committee, which reviews performance periodically.
The management charge levied on the Charity this year by Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust was agreed with the Charitable Funds Committee to be £18,468 (£18,060 for 2021/22). ,
The Trustees consider the key management personnel of the charity to be the Chief Finance Officer, the Financial Services Operational Manager and Financial Services Manager - Assurance of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust. No remuneration is paid by the charity to any such individuals.
Trustee Induction and Training
As part of their induction programme new Executive and Non-Executive Directors of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust are made aware of their responsibilities as Board members of the Corporate Trustee of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity. This induction includes an introduction to the objectives, scope and policies for the charitable funds as well as Charity Commission information on trustee responsibilities.
3. 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 and the operational management of the charity is reviewed quarterly. The review assesses the performance of the charity over the previous year and ensures that our aims, objectives and activities remain focused.
4. Activities
The charity is largely funded by donations and/or legacies received from patients, their relatives, and the general public and other organisations. Subject to any restrictions imposed by their donors the overall strategy of the Charity is to provide support to patients and staff.
- 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 health & wellbeing.
-
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 where service changes have taken place or it is impractical to maintain the separate designated fund, 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. 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 set out above.
Relationships with Related Parties/External Bodies
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity works closely with individuals within Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
Local fund managers 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.
5. Review of the Finances, Activities, Achievements and Performance of the Charitable Funds
The overriding strategy of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity is to hold its funds upon trust and apply them for any charitable purposes relating to the National Health Service, subject to any restrictions imposed by their donors.
The Charity relies mainly upon the generosity of service users and carers and other donors who are familiar with or have experienced the Trust's care or who are sympathetic and generous in their support to their local NHS service.
Statement of Financial Activities (Income and Expenditure)
The Charity received income from a variety of sources including grants, legacy, donations, and fundraising.
The Charity received one very generous legacy during 2022/23 of £21,655, to benefit the staff working in the COPD Services. The Charity also received two grants, one being £9,400 from The National Lottery Community Fund, to be used for individuals’ wellbeing at the Chai Centre, Burnley. The second grant was for £52,578 from NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) relating to their Stage 3 Recovery Grant. The NHSCT grant received is the first instalment of two. The legacy and grants are restricted to the purpose agreed with the donors.
Overall the Charity received £126,294 in the year to 31 March 2023, the underlying level of small but welcome donations being significantly increased by the legacy of £21,655 and two grants of £9,400 and £52,578.
Seven receipts during the year were considered material that is greater than £1,000 and they are highlighted in the table below:

The remaining expenditure, £22,833, was expended on smaller value items for staff welfare, education, training and development and patient welfare and amenities which have not been separately reported due to their smaller values.

Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Report 2022/23
Consolidation of NHS charitable funds
NHS foundation trusts are required to consolidate their charitable funds with their own 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's auditors the decision was taken not to produce group accounts.
6. Statement of Financial Position
At the balance sheet date, the Charity held no fixed assets.
The Charity owes its creditors a total balance of £1,836, relating to two supplier invoices for goods and services provided prior to 31 March 2023.
Reserves Policy
At the balance sheet date, the Charity had total reserves of £218,701 consisting of £19,995 of unrestricted funds and £198,706 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 spend it in accordance with the Charity's objectives.
Investments Policy
The Charity does not hold sufficient funds to justify investment in any form of equities.
7. Future Plans
The Charity has recently applied successfully for further grant income of £60,000 from NHS Charities Together (Greener Communities Fund), which was received in May 2023. This grant will be allocated to both The Chai Centre, Burnley and the Grow Your Own Project, Guild Lodge, working alongside Lancashire Wildlife Trust. We have also received notification we will receive the second instalment of the NHSCT Recovery Grant in September 2023, being another £52,578.
Going forward we were pleased to receive an anonymous donation of 30 gold Britannia coins from a generous donor in May 2023. These have an approximate value of £45,600 in total and were donated to the Harbour. The coins are being spent in line with the plans identified by the Fund Manager.
We will provide updates of how all three items have been spent in the 2024 Annual Report.
The Charity will continue to manage its funds appropriately. In general, it does not actively fundraise, but 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 within the Trust's staff are encouraged to use the resources they hold in a timely manner and in accordance with the wishes of the donors. = —™

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
We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We belive that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
(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 maybe 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. 4 LSU UTSWETS
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Charity Annual Accounts 2022/23
(d)
Income
Alt 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.

(j) Fixed assets
The charitable funds held no fixed assets as at 31 March 2023.
(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 2023.
(p) Pensions
The charity has no employees and as such has no liability for pension contributions.

These enquiries have included inspection of supporting documentation where appropriate. All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.
-
1 We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.
-
2 We confirm that the charity was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 audited.
-
3 We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter under the Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true-and fair view and for making accurate representations to you.
-
4 All the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.
-
5 All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination. We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the charity, and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission.
-
6 The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.
-
7 The charity has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charity's assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
-
8 All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate.

We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and where relevant the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.

-
14 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
-
15 We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
