WELCOME
It's our absolute pleasure to welcome
you to this annual report and to share
details with you of the generous
support Lancashire and South Cumbria
NHS Foundation Trust Charity has
received over the past twelve months.
It is also a really exciting time for us
as, in January 2025, we welcomed a
fundraising manager to the Trust who
will be supporting the development of
our charity so that we can do even
more to make a difference to our
patients, carers, families, colleagues
and communities across Lancashire
and South Cumbria.
Our focus is on improving the patient
experience and supporting the Trust
colleagues who work tirelessly to
ensure patients, and their families
receive the best possible care. We
would not be able to do this without the
support and contributions of so many
individuals. families, groups and
companies and other charitable
organisations.
Thank you so much for your support,
we simply couldn't do this without
you.
This year our income from a variety of
sources, including charitable donations
and fundraising, was £97,207 and to
make a difference to the lives of our
patients, their families and our
colleagues we have spent £130,600 on
Charitable objectives, with a total
expenditure of £152,527.
We were delighted to receive support
from MedEquip4Kids for our children's
mental health ServI￿S across the
region. We were also able to support
staff training, provide an exercise bike
for our patients at the Harbour and
establish a parkrun at our Guild Lodge
site. You can read more on some of
these activities later on in the report.

Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS

NHS Foundation Trust (Lscft), which
includes inpatient sites such as The
Harbour in Blackpool, Guild Lodge in
Preston, Woodview in Whalley and Dane
Garth in Furness and many community
services throughout Lancashire and South
Cumbria.
In 2024125, our main aim has been to
provide funding for a range of
initiatives that support the health of
the Trust's community by continually
enhancing the excellent patient care
and experience across Trust services
and beyond.
This includes providing patient
resources, supporting colleagues
and their development and working
in partnership with other
organisations to support health and
wellbeing initiatives.
Our overall objective is outlined in the
Charity's governing document and as
such. funds are used "for any charitable
purpose or purposes relating to the
National Health Service"
We have a set of aims, which benefit the
public through our support for Lscft ('the
Trust,). These aims ensure that the
Trustee complies with the duty to have due
regard to public benefit guidance

REVIEW OF THE YEAR
We are delighted to have been able to
continue to support the patients,
colleagues and communities served by
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS
Foundation Trust, thanks to our
generous supporters.
At Christmas, service users made and
sold a variety of hand-crafted items
from willow grown on site, to help raise
funds for the Charity.
It's been a winning year for Grow Your
Own (GYO) based at Guild Lodge in
Preston. which has been supporting
service users to grow and nurture plants
and produce to inspire and support
recovery. This year we were excited to
th
be part of the 100 Southport Flower
Show by showcasing a garden at the
event and selling some of our plants and
produ￿.
Service users from Guild Lodge helped
in the preparation and build of our
garden from planning and painting and
then nurturing the plants to feature in
the show garden, through to build and
construction at the event site. The aim
of the garden was to raise awareness of
GYO'S work and the power of nature
and gardens on mental health and
wellbeing.
We were absolutely delighted to win a
gold medal for our garden as well as
raise funds on the day to continue our
work.
We were also able to raise funds at the
Longridge Agricultural Show as service
users entered their produce in various
classes at the show and sold produce
they had grown.

Our partnership with Lancashire and
Wildlife Trust (Lwf) continued the focus
on nature to support wellbeing and
healthy lifestyles.
It was also a year of firsts, as we
were delighted to support the
establishment of the first NHS-
initiated parkrun at Guild Lodge.
Launching in July 2024, the 5km run,
which is held every Saturday
morning, is the very first parkrun in
the country to be held on a secure
mental health site.
Thanks to funding received from NHS
Charities Together in previous years we
have been delivering nature and
wellbeing sessions at The Chai Centre in
Burnley with L￿￿.
The weekly run at the site in
Preston, provides an opportunity for
colleagues and services users to get
involved either by walking or running
the route or volunteering their time
on the day. We have had lots of
positive feedback on the initiative to
support active and healthy lifestyles
including how it is a genuine
example of trying to break down the
barriers that exist within services for
the people that utilise them.
These sessions provided an opportunity
for the local community to take part in
nature-based sessions and to feel part of
the centre and community. From
creating growing beds from donated
wooden pallets to community
composting and creating an outdoor
classroom to support access to outdoor
spaces and participation in sessions
around healthy eating, they have helped
to improve mental health and wellbeing,
improve confidence and support skills
development.
Thanks to this project we have recruited
three volunteers to support work at The
Chai Centre.
Charitable funds also supported an
event at The Chai Centre on World
Mental Health Day in October. Bringing
together services from several partners
such as Age UK, Talking Therapies and
Lancashire Wildlife Trust, the day was
about sharing information and
encouraging the local community
to engage with services and
access support from providers.

FUTURE PLANS
The next twelve months are an exciting
time for the charity following the
appointment of a new fundraising
manager in January 2025. With a
refreshed focus on fundraising we hope
to be able to do more for our patients,
families and communities.
The charity will also be looking at
interaction and engagement with
colleagues to embed fundraising as
part of the culture at Lscft.
Our aim is to start building
relationships for the charity, so that
we become rooted within the
communities that we serve, to raise
awareness of our work and the
services we support but also to
reduce stigma around mental health
and reduce health inequalities.
An initial focus will be on developing the
brand, mission, vision and aims of the
charity to support our future fundraising
ambitions.

REVIEW OF THE FINANCES, ACTIVITIES,
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE CHARITABLE FUNDS
The Charity relies mainly upon the
generosity of patients and their relatives
and other donors who are familiar with or
have experienced the Trust's care. In
addition to these generous individuals,
the Charity is funded by ad hoc, but
occasionally substantial, grants from
other organisations. 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.
skills in food and plant production.
Over £500 was raised at the
Southport Flower Show with other
donations being received throughout
the year.
We also received gift in kind
donations from the charity
MedEquip4Kids to a value of over
£8,000. They've helped us to improve
the healthcare experience for our
young patients with the addition of
resources such as speakers, arts and
crafts materials, sensory toys, books,
and gardening materials.
Statement of financial activities
Income
The Charity received income from a
variety of sources including grants,
donations, and fundraising activities of
£97,207. The majority of income was
from the final instalments of grants
received from NHS Charities Together
Stage 3 Recovery Grant, totalling
£48,844. This funding is restricted and
continues to support colleague wellbeing
projects across Lscft.
This donation is supporting patients
under the care of LSCFT children's
and young people's mental health
services in the community and those
receiving care at the East Lancashire
Child and Adolescent Service day unit
located at Burnley Hospital and The
Cove inpatient unit in Heysham. More

in 2025126.

work in helping to support the recovery
and wellbeing of patients at Guild Lodge
in Preston through learning about
the environment and developing

. CDF06E97-F68D42E3-AFTI-F3EE783BC9AD
The training will have a wider impact on
our young patients and their families as
it has led to the introduction of new
group therapy interventions for children
across the area. These sessions
provide support with tips and
techniques for communicating and an
opportunity for children to meet other
children with a stammer as well as
working on increasing confidence and
knowledge for the young people and
their families. We have already started
to see positive outcomes from these
group sessions with one patient sharing
that their Confiden￿ had increased to
10 out of 10, commenting: "I'm really
happy to talk now, even with a
stammer."
The Charity incurred total expenditure
of £152,527. Expenditure on charitable
objectives amounted to £130,600
(85.6 % of the total), whilst £21,927
was spent on support and governance
costs {14.4 % of the total).
The independent examiner has
charged the charity a fee of £2,100 for
2024125 (£1,620 2023124).
Most of the Charity's expenditure is
incurred on small items for colleague
and patient wellbeing and amenities,
and staff training and development.
Twenty nine expenditure requests
exceeded £1,000. amounting to
£75,624 in total, and the remaining
expenditure was on smaller value
items.
£1,039 was spent on providing an
exercise bike for patients at The
Harbour in Blackpool. The bike has
been a great addition in encouraging
patients to undertake physical activity
and maintain healthy lifestyles.
Funding supported a number of
activities and items including
purchasing and installing garden
furniture (£3,956) to support patients
at Longridge Hospital. The new
furniture is improving the environment
by providing comfortable seating
helping patients to enjoy the outdoors.
We've also supported training for six
allied health professional teams,
particularly focusing on speech and
language therapists and assistants,
working in teams across Pennine and
Central areas. The funding of £1,472
enabled bespoke training to provide
colleagues with skills and techniques
to deliver therapeutic interventions and
group therapy for children with
stammers.

Where their charitable funds are
deemed to be material, NHS
Foundation Trusts are required to
consolidate their associated
charitable funds within their own
financial statements and produce
group accounts. The charity s funds
are deemed not to be material to
the Trust and the decision has
therefore been taken not to produce
group accounts. This position is
supported by the Trust's external

as a restricted income fund (where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in
furtherance of a specified charitable purposel or
as an unrestricted fund (where the donor has not specified a charitable purpose) where the
donation will be expended at Ihe Iruslees discretion in accordance with the objects of the charitable
trust.
The charity currently has no endowment income funds.
Designated funds are set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific
purposes or projects.

judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The eslimales and underfying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions lo
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
r8vision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the
revision affects both current and future periods.

applying the above accounting policies. There have been no key assumptions con￿MIng future
and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts of assets and liabilits'es within the next
rinancial year.
