A message from our Chair Helen Hirst
I am delighted to share our Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity Report for 2022-23.
I want to sincerely thank our communities for their remarkable generosity in supporting Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity through donations, support and volunteering.
As Chair, I am continually in awe of how enthusiastic and motivated our supporters are to help us. No matter the size, every donation is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, we have been able to enhance patient care and experience, continue to support our colleagues’ wellbeing and fund projects and initiatives.
In this report, you will see some examples of projects and initiatives our charity has funded, including the mobilisation of a dedicated Men’s Cancer Support Group, the opening of the Rainbow Community Hub and the installation of a beautiful Tree of Memories at Calderdale Royal Hospital.
The Trust Board heard, at a recent meeting, about the impact the charity has on recently bereaved young people through the donation of memory boxes. There are many many more areas where people are benefitting from your generosity so whatever part you have played in supporting Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity, thank you for helping to make a very big difference.
Helen Hirst, Chair

Highlights and Achievements
Thanks to the incredible generosity and kindness of our community, we raised more than £364k together this year.
Our supporters and donors are our greatest strength, and we feel so grateful to have had such an amazing amount of support from our communities during the year. Here are some highlights of the year.
April 2022
In April we were delighted to support the Calderdale Eye Clinic to open their new service, a sensory room. This additional space provided a sensory room to support learning disabilities, a comfort room so that the team can listen to and support patients and a CVI room where the team can register sight impaired adults and children.
This room is all about making patient experience better and make them feel comfortable whilst going through what might be a destressing situation.
May 2022
May saw the installation of our Tree of Memories at Calderdale Royal Hospital. Each leaf can be engraved with a name or short personal message in return for a donation. Our Tree of Memories offers a meaningful way for people to remember their loved ones whilst supporting the great care given at CHFT.
A very big thank you to students of Crossley Heath Grammar School in Halifax, who were inspired by our Imagination Appeal to enhance the MRI experience at Calderdal Royal Hospital. Students held a non-uniform day and bake sale in support of the Charity.
June 2022
June was a fun filled month for us, starting off with our first annual Hospital 10km Walk .
Colleagues, their families and our supporters, along with some 4-legged furry friends walked from Calderdale Royal Hospital to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The team atmosphere and enthusiasm was outstanding.
At the end of the month, the Lindley Community Group invited us to be part of their Lindley Carnival Weekend . This was an amazing interactive weekend where we made local connections and heard some wonderful stories from individuals who access the great care offered by CHFT.

July 2022
July was filled with cake, cups of tea, fundraising games and tea parties. A special thanks to Spring Cottage Nursery on our Huddersfield Royal Infirmary site and Growing Minds Day Nursery for hosting their own tea parties as a way of say thanks to our amazing local NHS services and colleagues.
From Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to Coast 2 Coast , an amazing fundraiser of ours, Robert Freeman challenged himself to walk 192.2 miles over 7 days. This walk is a famous British hike from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay. Robert completed this challenge in aid of our ICU team as a way of saying thanks for saving his life numerous times.
Our online presence continued to grow and in July, we hit 1,000 followers on Twitter.
August 2022
August saw the start of our Children’s Ward One Million Steps Challenge . This was a fun and exciting challenge in which individuals who signed up had to complete one million steps in three months.
The Charity Team were supported at a local fundraising event, held at Slaithwaite Cricket Club.
The Cricket Family Fun Day was mobilised by Tom and Natasha to raise funds for CHFT Charity and 4Louis in memory of their son Freddie, who was born asleep in October 2021.

September 2022

September was a busy but exciting month for the Charity Team, starting off with a fun filled weekend taking part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and Great North Run .
Lots of work from behind the scenes finally came to light this month where we were able to offer our colleagues free tickets to a football match between Huddersfield Town and Blackpool . We were able to bring just over 1,000 colleagues with us to watch the football and accept a donation from the club as a thanks for all the hard work our amazing colleagues do to care for people within our community.
September was known as Prevention of Deliruim month, this is where we worked with our Enhanced Care Support Team to raise awareness and funds for our patients with delirium. We held numerous events throughout the month, which included a sponsored bike ride, bake sales and hosting a ‘dementia bus’ for colleagues to understand more about living with dementia..

October 2022
October saw a spook-tacular announcement of our first ever Virtual Pet Show, Paws and Pumpkins , which was a huge success.
October also saw the installation of our picnic table and two benches over at our Acre Mills site for our colleagues – this was part of our project that supports staff wellbeing.
We’d like to say a huge thanks to Spring Grove School for helping us by supplying knitted blankets, hats and boots for our Neonatal Baby Unit.
November 2022
November was a brilliant month for us; full of award ceremonies, funding applications and fundraising events. Emily Overend, our Marketing and Communications Assistant became a finalist at our CHuFT Award for Rising Apprentice and had the pleasure of attending the award ceremony. The CHFT Charity Team also had the delight of being nominated for best Marketing Campaign of the Year at the Calderdale Communty Foundation Awards .
Colleagues from the Palliative Care Team – Anthony Thomas, Adam Norton and Alex Goodwin - took it upon themselves to complete Movember. Their fundraising goal was to raise funds to improve holistic experience for palliative patients. Also, our amazing Appointment Centre orgainsed a dress down/wear pink day as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month – these funds went towards enhancing cancer patients’ care and experience.
Andrea Marren, Health Care Assistant on Ward 14, came up with the idea of hosting a weekly raffle for patients staying on the ward. The raffle has been a terrific success, helping make a patents stay in hospital a little less stressful

December 2022
The Festive season was upon us and we couldn’t wait to spread the Festive cheer,
starting off by decorating the Charity office as a Festive Pop-Up Shop . Throughout
December, we hosted Festive Markets between Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and
Calderdale Royal Hospital. This is where we invited local small businesses to sell
their products. We also invited local school choirs in each hospital to sing some
festive songs to our patients.
Our colleagues went bake sale crazy in order to raise some vital funds for their area
of work. We had a total of five different bake sales happening throughout the month.
We were able to support those who were an inpatient during the festive period,
----- End of picture text -----
We were able to support those who were an inpatient during the festive period, through a range of donations into our charity office from local businesses and supporters. A huge thanks to Porky Penguin, Happy Adventures Preschool, Wishing Well Private Day Nursery, ALB Group and many more for their generous donations.

January 2023
We continued to work closely with the Trust’s Enhanced Care Support Team. In January, we were able to support the team by funding Enhanced Care Resource Bags . These are distraction bags that are designed to be therapeutically engaging to help with our dementia patients.
Kirklees College sports department held a 9-a-side football tournament and bake sale. This was held in memory of a colleague, Sarah, who sadly passed away in November 2022.
We would like to say a special thanks to everyone that took part in raising the amazing amount of £710 in aid of CHFT Charity.
February 2023
A new year meant exciting meetings with different businesses, community groups and local schools. This included a meeting with Huddersfield Town FC to understand how we can continue to work in partnership.
Thanks to recent donations into our Accident and Emergency (A&E) Fund, we were able to fund A&E Care Bags . These bags are for children, young people and adults with Learning Disabilies/Autism who find waiting in A&E difficult. The Care Bags can also support the patient whilst going through tests and investigations.
March 2023
In March, we spent time working alongside our Children’s Ward to understand how we can continue to support parents of our youngest patients.
From feedback the Children’s Ward received, we funded a range of Hygiene Packs. These include shower gel, shampoo, tooth brush, ear plugs, sanitary products and many more items to help make a stay less stressful and support each parent whose child is admitted into hospital.
Throughout March, we held Spring Markets , inviting small local businesses into our hospitals to sell their items to our colleagues, patients and visitors.

The difference you made
Here are some examples of how our supporters have made a huge difference to our patients and colleagues.
Making a visit to hospital easier for neurodiverse families
In February 2023, thanks to your generous donations, we were able to fund A&E Care Bags. These care bags are for children, young adults and adults with learning disabilities/autism who would find waiting in Accident and Emergency difficult. The Care Bags can also support the patient through tests and investigations whilst in the department.
Items included inside a care bag:
-
Ear defenders
-
Tactile objects
-
Colouring book
-
Crayons
-
An easy read leaflet about A&E
The picture on the front of the Care Bag was designed by an individual who has a learning disability/autism following a competition with our local selfadvocates and Project Search. Roy Hays, expert by experience and Lead the Way Ambassador and a member of our Enhanced Learning Disabilty Pathway Group, chose the winner.
The Care Bags were launched on Monday 27[th] February 2023 and have proven to be successful. Jack, aged 6, has autism and was one of our first patients to receive a care bag. Jack’s mum, Sammy said : “Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a positive hospital visit with me and Jack this morning, it was such a great experience for us both. The care bag is fantastic with a lovely selection of sensory supporting toys, this would certainly help make a visit to hospital easier for neurodiverse families.”
We are over the Rainbow with the new Rainbow Community Hub
The Rainbow Child Development Service at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust provides vital support for children and young people aged 0-18 years with complex needs, development delay and disabilities.
10
When the service had to be relocated to a new centralised location, the Charity brought the new Rainbow Community to life by funding the added extras to make the building extra special, like a sensory room, garden space and new play and distraction equipment.
Thanks to amazing supporters and donors, the Charity was able to contribute over £80,000 to the enhancements within the new premises.
This Hub’s Clinical Nurse Manager, Katie Booth, said: “We are very proud of everything this amazing facility has to offer and feedback from our families, who helped to design it with us, has been terrific. A huge thanks to CHFT Charity for all their continued help and support.”
We are a proud member of NHS Charities Together and were delighted to receive £173k in grant funding during 2022/23.
Stage 3 Long Term Recovery Grant - £143k awarded.
Development Grant - £30k awarded.
Delivery of projects supported by the grants monies received from NHS Charities Together will take place in 2023/24

Governance Review
Our Committees
The Corporate Trustee designated responsibility for the overall strategic and governance of the Charity to the Charitable Funds Committee, The Charitable Funds Committee meets four times a year to ensure the proper management of funds, and these are spent in accordance with the wishes of the donor and the Objects of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity.
Public Benefit
The Corporate Trustee has a duty to comply with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 which outlines the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The Trustee confirms that this requirement is strongly embedded within the procedures for approving funding applications and spending plans and that Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity has fulfilled the public benefit requirement.
As part of operational management the Trustee, Charitable Funds Committee, Operations Sub Committee and Charity Management team ensure that all funding applications and spending plans contain identifiable public benefits that are clear and meet the charitable objects of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity by supporting any NHS charitable purpose relating to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and its patients. Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity’s strategic goals and the public benefit requirement are satisfied through funding a range of projects, examples of which can be found listed elsewhere in this Report under each of our priority areas.
Reserves Policy
The Charity reviewed and agreed a new Reserves Policy in February 2023 which applies to restricted and unrestricted funds. The Reserves Policy will be reviewed annually by the Charitable Funds Committee. Further detail can be found below.
17
Financial Review
Income
In 2022/23 the total incoming resources amounted to £364,000. This is a decrease of £70,000 on the previous year’s balance of £434,000; this was due to increases in legacies (£52,000) and charitable activities income (£173,000) which were then offset by a decrease in donations (£295,000).
The total expenditure of the Charity exceeded the income received by £626,000. In addition, there was a negative movement of £63,000 arising from the revaluation of investment assets. As such, there was an overall decrease in the funds of £689,000 to £2,500,000.
Expenditure
In 2022/23 the Charity spent £831,000 on charitable activities; this includes an allocation of the support costs that the Charity incurred in the administration of the fund of £35,000 comprising costs for Financial Services support, External Audit and other establishment costs which include online giving fees and printing and stationery costs.
The Charity also incurred costs of £136,000 in raising funds and £23,000 in other resources expended.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. At the end of the financial year Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity had total net assets of £2.500 million, of which £1.424 million is in unrestricted funds. The Trustees have reviewed its commitment for the next 12 months and are confident that there are sufficient unrestricted free reserves to meet its commitments as they fall due. The Charity maintains an adequate cash position to meet its ongoing expenditure requirements. The Corporate Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves Policy
The Corporate Trustee has a legal duty to apply charitable funds within a reasonable time of their receipt but should also hold some money in reserve. Within our Charity we therefore have three funds which form our reserves – the two General Purpose funds and the General Reserves fund. The balances on these, less any commitments, form the total of the Charity’s Reserves.
The Corporate Trustee encourages the use of balances and intends that designated funds are spent within a reasonable period of receipt and therefore expects to only maintain a minimum reserve balance to allow the charity to remain operational and to mitigate unforeseen circumstances.
It is necessary to retain reserves over the longer term to:
-
Reduce the impact of risks should the levels of income (including fluctuations in the value of investments) significantly reduce such that the Charity cannot meet its obligations.
-
Ensure the Charity can cover its ongoing operational costs – these include governance costs such as salaries and audit fees and also fundraising costs.
-
Meet the closure or transfer of the Charity’s affairs should the need arise.
The Reserves Policy states The Corporate Trustee aims to retain, as a minimum, a level of reserves sufficient to provide funding for three months’ operational costs (including governance and fundraising costs) plus a buffer to allow for fluctuations in investment market values.
18
Investment Policy and Performance
All investments are made in accordance with guidance issued by the Charity Commission; the Charity’s investment manager is CCLA Investment Management Ltd.
The Charity seeks to balance ethical and socially responsible investment and risk. As such, the investment managers appointed by the Charity are restricted from investing directly in the processing and/or manufacture of tobacco products, and the portfolio of investment is widely diversified.
The investment objective is to provide a balance between long term capital growth, security, availability and maximisation of annual income.
At 31 March 2023, the market value of investments managed by the Charity’s investment manager, CCLA Investment Management Ltd, was £2,378,000 compared to £2,941,000 at 31 March 2022.
During the financial year 2022/23, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds made a £63,000 unrealised loss on investment assets; this is compared to an unrealised gain experienced in 2021/22 of £305,000. The Charity also liquidated £500,000.

The designated funds receive income mainly through legacies and donations. On accepting such income no legal obligation is created as to its expenditure but it is the intention of the Corporate Trustee that any income received into Charitable Funds will be spent in line, as far as possible, with the wishes of the donor. It is to this end, therefore, that separate accounts are kept within the Umbrella fund for each of the designated funds.
The only income which the McGhie Hospital fund attracts is dividends on the capital investment. This fund is a permanent endowment; the income from the capital is to be split equally between the general purpose funds for Calderdale and Huddersfield.
Of the 5 special purpose funds registered with the Charity Commission, Calderdale Post Graduate Medical Education (PGME), Calderdale Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary also receive income from legacies and donations but have restrictions on where the funds can be spent.
The Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust (Expendable Funds) Common Investment fund is a scheme that is registered with the Charity Commission that allows the Charity to combine the investment and money belonging to a number of funds into one pooled fund.
Each fund has at least one fund manager and funds are grouped by division.
The responsibility for approving expenditure of less than £500 from Charitable Funds has been delegated to the fund manager. For amounts that are greater than £500 further additional approval is required depending on the amount and type of expenditure. This could be a General Manager, Assistant Director of Nursing/Finance or higher level.
Fund Management
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity makes grants from both its unrestricted and restricted funds. The grants from restricted funds must be used in accordance with the conditions attached to the fund.
Unrestricted fund grants are made from general purpose funds and designated (earmarked) funds.
-
General funds. These funds are received with no preference expressed by donors. The Charitable Funds Committee invites applications from any member of staff to this fund. Based on their knowledge of the Trust, the Committee agrees funding priorities and scores applications for quality and value for 21 money.
-
Designated funds. These contain donations where a particular part of the hospital or activity was nominated for support by the donor at the time their donation was made. Whilst their nomination is not binding on the Trustee, the designated funds reflect these nominations. The designated funds are overseen by fund managers who can make recommendations on how to spend the money within their designated area.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements
Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed (and rules), subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,
-
assess the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
-
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed (and the rules) of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Trustees of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The trustee has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).
In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
Our conclusions based on this work:
-
we consider that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;
-
we have not identified, and concur with the trustee’s assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.
24
Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportuity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
-
Enquiring of management and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
Reading Charitable Fund Committee minutes.
-
Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition due to the non-complex nature of revenue received by the entity.
We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
We performed procedures including identifying adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included unusual adjustments linked to cash.
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to noncompliance with laws and regulations
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), from inspection of the Charity’s regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation) and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Whilst the Charity is subject to many laws and regulations, we did not identify any where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.
25
Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Other information
The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work:
-
we have not identified material misstatements in the other information;
-
in our opinion the information given in the Trustee’s Annual Report is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
in our opinion those reports have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charity has not kept adequate accounting records or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not
-
made; or
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our
-
audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Trustee’s responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 23, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
26
Auditor’s responsibilities
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTS – 2022/23
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1 Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, except for investments which are included at fair value.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. At the end of the financial year the charity had total net assets of £2.500 million, of which £1.424 million is in unrestricted funds. The Trustees have reviewed its commitment for the next 12 months and are confident that there are sufficient unrestricted funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b) Governance costs
Governance costs are classified as support costs and have therefore been apportioned across charitable activities, after a portion has been allocated to Raising Funds. These costs include costs related to the statutory audit and an apportionment of overhead and other support costs.
The analysis of support costs, including governance costs, is shown in note 9.
c) Structure of funds
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Corporate Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of its charitable objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the donor has made known their non-binding wishes or where the Corporate Trustee, at its discretion, has created a fund for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are those which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. The Charity has six restricted funds. The restrictions on CRH SCBU, CRH PGME and HRI Special Purpose funds (see note 19) primarily limit any expenditure from these funds to be undertaken for the benefit of the stated purpose contained in the fund title. The fourth and fifth restricted funds are the Abraham Ormerod fund and the Abraham Ormerod Reserve fund. They both have the same restriction, which is that the approved expenditure must, where possible, be for services provided for the benefit of people in the Todmorden area. The sixth restricted fund is the Covid-19 fund where the grants from NHS Charities Together were allocated.
Endowment Funds are where capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes with no discretion to spend capital. The Charity has one permanent endowment fund, McGhie Hospital.
31
CALDERDALE AND HUDDERSFIELD NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITABLE FUNDS
ACCOUNTS – 2022/23
Accounting Policies (continued)
d) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio.
e) Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind, such as food and care packages are not accounted for when they are accepted and immediately distributed unless a single donation is material.
Gifts of tangible assets such as mattresses and fridges are recognised as a donation at fair value (market price) on receipt and charitable expenditure when they are distributed.
Where gifts in kind are held before being distributed to beneficiaries, they are recognised at fair value as stock until they are distributed.
f) Incoming resources from 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 representatives of the estate(s) 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 the conditions for income recognition are met (see Note 20 - Material legacies).
g) Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure.
h) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
i) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration and audit costs. They are allocated to charitable activities, across the funds in proportion to total expenditure, as shown in note 9, after a portion has been allocated to Raising Funds.
32
j) Fundraising costs
The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the Charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities. These are fundraising costs and they include expenses for fundraising activities and a fee paid to Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust to pay the salary and overhead costs of the fundraising team – see note 6.
k) Charitable activities
Costs of Charitable Activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of charitable objects of the Charity. These costs comprise direct costs and overhead and support costs.
l) Fixed asset investments
Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at the current market value quoted by the investment analyst, as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions and the attitude of investors to investment risk.
m) Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured based on their recoverable amount.
n) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the Charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are balances held in the deposit account which are very liquid funds and are shown as part of ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ on the balance sheet. There is no impact on the total funds of the Charity. An analysis of Cash and cash equivalents is provided in note 15.
o) Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.
p) Recognised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or value at date of purchase if later).
2 Prior year comparatives by type of fund
The primary statements provide prior year comparatives in total; this note provides prior period comparatives for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet for each of the three types of funds that the Charity manages.

Risk Strategy in terms of investments held with investment managers
In line with the investment objectives of the Charity, it is essential that the correct balance of risk and rewards is conveyed to the Investment Managers running the Charity portfolios.
The view of the Charitable Funds Committee is that risk levels should be based on Low and Medium risk.
Low risk
The Charity is prepared to accept a small degree of short-term volatility, in the hope of producing slightly higher returns. The Charity seeks to reduce the risk of returns being exceeded by inflation, while retaining a consistent pattern of returns and accepts the possibility of frequent but minor fluctuations in capital value.
Medium risk
The Charity is prepared to accept risk of some short-term volatility in the pursuit of returns over the medium to long term which should maintain capital after the effects of inflation and is aware that more significant fluctuations in capital are possible.
Liquidity risk
This is anticipated to be low as the Fund holds a diversified portfolio but one biased towards real assets including global equities, property and infrastructure, and with only modest exposure to bonds and cash.
Currency risk
There is an element of currency risk as there are some overseas equities within the portfolio, but these should be minimal as the portfolio is diversified.
