Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023
Report of the Corporate Trustee
The Corporate Trustee submits its Annual Report on the affairs of the Charity, together with the financial statements and independent examiner's report for the year ended 31 March 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 16-17, and comply with the Charitable Fund’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
All the Charity’s funds are regarded as designated funds for general purposes to particular NHS organisations or locations and are accounted for in accordance with the latest Guidance for NHS Charities from the Charity Commission. Twenty-eight funds are accounted for as unrestricted funds where the donor has made known their non-binding wishes to a particular area. The Trustee has adopted a policy of designating funds within the unrestricted funds in order to respect the wishes of our generous donors wherever possible.
Two funds are accounted for as restricted funds.
Charitable Objectives
The Charity is an NHS umbrella charity registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales. The objectives of the umbrella charity are for the Trustee 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 services provided by:
- Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust
The funds are used to meet the objectives of the original donations or bequests, so far as is reasonably practicable. Where there are no specific objectives, the funds are used by the Charity for such purposes relating to services provided by them under the National Health Service Act 1977. The Charity meets the legal requirement of applying the funds for public benefit by ensuring that they are spent on the Trust’s service users and the staff who care for them.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charitable Funds Committee is a formal non-executive committee of the Trust’s Board of Directors and has no executive powers, other than those specifically delegated to it in its Terms of Reference.
The Charitable Funds Committee, a committee of the Corporate Trustee, met twice during the year and makes recommendations to the Corporate Trustee on:
-
Fund governance
-
Investment policies
-
Fundraising
-
Expenditure policies and procedures, and
-
Reporting arrangements
Designated Directors and Managers manage the funds within the umbrella Charity on behalf of the Corporate Trustee.
Specific Restrictions
The funds are managed in accordance with the conditions set out in the Trustee Investments Act 1961 and the governing document.
The funds are overseen by fund holders who can make recommendations on how to spend the money within their area. These recommendations are generally accepted, provided they meet a charitable principle and also correspond to the criteria of the purpose of the fund.

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023
The accounting records and day to day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Assistant Financial Accountant, Endeavour House, Russell Road, Ipswich IP1 2BX.
The registered office of the Charitable Fund is: Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Hellesdon Hospital, Drayton High Road, Norwich NR6 5BE.
Expenditure included £11,900 from the Captain Sir Tom fund which was received and used for enhancing the well-being of service users impacted by COVID-19. Included in this were various garden projects which benefited from new fencing, plants and garden works totalling £4,600 as well as a mix of sensory/ therapeutic items. The Sensory Room within Lark Ward was completed with a contribution from the Captain Sir Tom fund of £6,900.
Additional funding for the Sensory Room at Lark Ward of £10,500 came from the Suffolk East General Mental Health fund.
Future Plans
The trustee does not expect any significant changes in the objectives of the Charity in the forthcoming year and will continue to receive and expend funds for the benefit of the Trust and its service users, and to support staff and service development where other sources are unavailable.
Principal Activities
Activities and achievements for public benefit
During the year the funds continued to support a wide range of charitable and health related activities benefiting both service users and staff.
In doing so the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in general they are used to purchase additional equipment and services that the NHS is unable to provide from other sources.
There are three principal areas of activity within the Charity:
- Contributions to the NHS – where funds are received and expended for the benefit of the NHS
There were no contributions to the NHS received or expended during 2022/23 (2021/22, Nil).
- Patients’ welfare and amenities – where funds are received and expended for the benefit of service users.
Total expenditure for the year under this activity was £39,400 (2021/22, £50,100) of which the main expenditure is summarised below:
The Family Psychiatry fund used £1,500 to purchase copies of ‘The Happiness Trapp’ for the benefit of service users.
A total of £4,800 was spent by the Central Cluster Old People’s Legacy fund for numerous activities and equipment including outings, takeaways and afternoon tea, music equipment and kitchen/ gardening items.
The therapeutic garden at the Wedgwood Unit utilised £1,300 of the donations received specifically for this purpose, for designs and technical drawings.
Another £8,100 was spent on Christmas presents and festivities for the service users on the wards.
The remaining expenditure was given for smaller requests for the benefit of service users to enhance their experience
- Staff welfare and amenities – where funds are received and expended for the benefit of staff
Expenditure for the year under this activity amounted to £15,400 (2021/22, £24,400) of which the main expenditure is summarised below:
Expenditure included £4,100 received and used from the Captain Sir Tom fund for enhancing the well-being of NHS Staff and volunteers impacted by COVID-19. This funding provided a secure bike shed for staff at the Woodlands.
Black History Month celebrations totalling £4,700 were funded by the Trust Staff General fund. This was an opportunity for staff and service users to reflect and celebrate the events of the year.
Other expenditure included £1,500 for staff training in Interpersonal Therapy for Adolescents. This is aimed at the CFYP under 18’s Wellbeing service and will benefit the young people who use this service.
7
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023
A further £3,900 funded specialist support for the Communications team in coproduction of literature and communications which ensured accessibility of such to the widest groups of people.
The remaining expenditure was given for smaller requests for the benefit of staff to enhance their experience.
Grant Making Policy
The Charity awards grants on an informal basis and in accordance with the objectives of the individual funds. The needs of the relevant hospital departments are considered, and grants are awarded in the circumstances where the NHS would not normally provide the equipment or service, and where there is a benefit to service users in the provision of the equipment or service. A Charitable Fund request form is completed in the first instance and is considered on its own merits with regard to service user needs and provision of sufficient public benefit. Fund holders are entrusted with making decisions on grant making and will decide the appropriateness of each application. The Charitable Funds Committee monitors income and grant making during the financial year.
Fund holders are able to authorise grants up to £1,000. Approval from Service Directors is required for requests between £1,000 and £5,000. The Chief Finance Officer is required to approve requests between £5,000 and £25,000. Applications between £25,000 and £100,000 need to be approved by the Charitable Funds Committee with anything over £100,000 requiring Board approval.
The Charity also occasionally accepts grants from other charities for the benefit of service users and transmits the donation on their behalf ensuring that the request of the donor is honoured. No donations of this type were received in the year. (2021/22, Nil).
Financial Review
As shown in the following Statement of Financial Activities, the total value of funds held by the Charity decreased from £391,000 to £375,000. A total of £38,500 was given to the Charity in the form of donations and legacies. This was £13,200 more than last year. The Charity has not made any further investments in 2022/23 due to the lack of return and the need for
available cash to discharge grants.
Expenditure has reduced by £19,700 to £54,800. The independent examination fee for the year was £2,190.
The Charity encourages fund-raising by volunteers but does not depend on donations in kind to achieve its objectives.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions in place during 21/22 finally began to disappear throughout the Trust during 22/23 although events held were still minimal. Donations from the public via the online community have continued to decrease but we have been very grateful to have received over £1,600 in this way during 22/23 (2021/22, £3,000).
The majority of the donations in 22/23 have been received for the benefit of the Wedgwood Therapeutic Garden with a total of £21,600 received. The garden once complete will help service user recovery by the practical, social and therapeutic elements of gardening, with the opportunity of building confidence and skills to keep people out of hospital.
The Trust is confident that there will be no further material financial impact on its activities as we enter a new financial year.
Reserves Policy
The Charity has been mindful of the need to reduce the level of reserves held and the Trustees will continue to review the balances held in the designated funds and encourage an appropriate level of expenditure. There are no target reserves as it is not the policy of the charitable fund to hold reserves. The fund holders are encouraged to spend monies on good causes rather than allowing funds to accumulate. The Charitable Funds Committee monitor any requests over £25,000 thereby anticipating the need to withdraw any investments that may be needed to fund approved grants.
Risk Management
Major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and procedures have been put in place to mitigate those risks. All funds are checked and an assessment is undertaken before a payment is made to ensure that there is money available to meet expenditure. Procedures are in place to safeguard the receipting of donations and the banking of cash and cheques. The Charitable Funds Committee monitors income and expenditure during the financial year. The Trustees have taken a cautious approach to investment by ensuring that assets are invested in low-risk ethical funds

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023
and kept as cash holdings. Cash holdings that are set aside for day-to-day transactions are kept to a minimum.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the Charity to ensure:
-
Effective and secure investment of charitable monies
-
Maximisation of investment income, and
-
Maintenance of appropriate working cash balances for day-to-day transactions
No investments were held within this current year due to poor interest return.
Going concern
The charity has no current liabilities and there are sufficient cash reserves. As a result, the trustees are confident that the charity is still considered to be a going concern.
In addition, the NHS Foundation Trust’s accounts for the 22/23 financial year have been prepared on a going concern basis; the independent auditor’s report has concluded that this is appropriate.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustee of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘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:

Notes forming part of the financial statements
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accruals concept and have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand £.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019).
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and the principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has since been withdrawn.
1.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
1.3 Financial Instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 ' Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023
16
is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.4 Fund Accounting
The Charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Restricted funds are provided to the Charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the Board of Trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
-
i) Entitlement - control over the right or other access to the economic benefit has passed to the charity
-
ii) Probable - where it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the charity
-
iii) Measurement - the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably
b) Legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.
This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that probate has been granted, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity's control.
If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.
c) Investment income
The Trust implements a charitable funds investment policy to ensure:
-
i) Effective and secure investment of charitable monies
-
ii) Maximisation of investment income
2 Income
2.1 Income is generated from voluntary donations, legacies, fundraising events and interest on cash at bank. The charity does not undertake charitable trading.
- iii) Maintenance of appropriate cash balances for day-to-day transactions
There was no investment income received during this current year.
a) All income is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met:
17
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds Annual Report 1[st] April 2022 to 3 1[s t] March 2023
3 Expenditure
The corporate trustee recognises liabilities in the accounts once they have incurred either a legal or constructive obligation to expend funds.
Expenditure for patient welfare, staff welfare and other contributions to the NHS are included in Charitable Activities. Expenditure is incurred directly by the charity in support of the NHS and is allocated to the appropriate fund.
Expenditure was incurred as follows:
| Unrestricted | Total Total 31 March 31 March 2023 2022 £'000 £'000 |
|---|---|
| Restricted Other staff welfare and amenities Other patients' welfare and amenities |

|
| £'000 £'000 |
|
| Other patients' welfare and amenities Other staff welfare and amenities |
12 31 4 23 |
| 16 54 |
The 30 funds held by the Charity fall under the management of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. Charges for the annual Independent Examination and administration fees are therefore met by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. The independent examination fee for the year was £2,190 (2021-22, £1,995).
4 Related party transactions
During the year none of the members of the key management staff or parties related to them have undertaken any material transactions or received any remuneration or expenses from the charitable fund (2021-22, Nil).
The charitable trust has made no revenue or capital payments to Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. There were no outstanding balances at year end.
At any one-time Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust holds balances for debtors and creditors relating to the transactions it processes on behalf of the Charity, which are normally settled within the following month.
5 Grants made to institutions
Grants are made in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the fund in accordance with the governing document which established the charity for purposes relating to the NHS.
During the year no grants were paid (2021-22, Nil).
6 Grants paid to individuals
During the year the charity made no small grants relating to patients’ welfare (2021-22, Nil).
7 Summary and structure of funds
The report of the corporate trustee describes the structure of the funds. A summary of the funds as at 31 March 2023 is given below. The charity adheres to a policy that no transfers are made between funds unless in exceptional circumstances, for example where a fund is being wound up and the remaining balance is transferred to a comparable fund.
If no restriction is conveyed by the donor, funds are placed in the designated area that the donation is gifted.
No endowment funds were held during the current year.
