MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR AND CEO - Dr Catriona McMahon and Louise Barnett

A year we’ll never forget

On behalf of the trustees of The Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Hospital Trust Charity (SaTH Charity), we are delighted to present this annual report for the year.

SaTH Charity supports the Trust’s vision to be an organisation that is continuously improving our patient’s experiences and outcomes – to be safe and effective, kind and caring and to exceed expectation.

This has been a year like no other. We will remember it not just because of the impact of the pandemic in our hospitals, not just because the lives we had were turned upside down, but also because of the

commitment from the public, expressed in the incredible support they have shown for the NHS and our staff.

However, whilst SaTH Charity has benefitted from greater public and corporate support in the form of donations, the pandemic has had a negative impact on fundraising with a downturn in cash. This is less noticeable in the overview as the shortfall has been balanced with grants from NHS Charities Together, the National NHS Charity that arose from the amazing efforts of Captain Tom Moore.

This report provides an overview for our fundraisers, staff, stakeholders and other interested parties of the Charity’s achievements during 2020/2021.

We are looking forward to the year ahead and planning to develop partnerships with our community to help deliver our ambitious plans as the trusted Charity of SaTH.

Finally, we would like to say a big “Thank you” to all our supporters on behalf of all our workforce in the Trust for their kindness and generosity throughout one of the most challenging years the NHS has faced.

In total a fantastic £724,600 was raised for SaTH Charity. This figure highlights what a successful year we had. This money has been invested in better services for our patients, supported projects to increase capacity, and allocated to support staff wellbeing due to the on-going effects of the global pandemic.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR

JULY

Sophie Morris, a student from Thomas Adams School in Wem raised £750 by shaving her head. Her mum Lisa said “As a family we have received lots of support throughout lockdown as my mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. We’ve been truly grateful.”

AUGUST

A generous donation, from the family of Cheryl Cranswick, funded a new wall mural.

“It was a pleasant surprise when I spotted the woodland scene from my side room window… so much better than looking at grey corrugated steel.” Mark Faulkner, Patient

“To have a view like the woodland scene instead of a cold corrugated wall when in isolation and unable to leave the room for many weeks will help to offer extra comfort to patients during a difficult time in their lives.” Peter Warren, Ward Manager

SEPTEMBER

A keen cyclist ,Chris Jennings, decided to set herself a challenge to raise money by cycling on her drive, with the funds donated going towards purchasing iPads for patient use in hospital.

Along with two friends, Chris completed the challenge and raised more than £900.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR

OCTOBER

T wo new Sensory Carts to help relax and calm patients living with dementia and children with delayed learning were purchased.

Jodie Frost, Play Specialist, said: “The sensory trolley has a bubble tube, sensory lights, a projector, DVD player, TV and a Bluetooth speaker. With this new furniture, we can turn our patient’s rooms into a sensory room. Time spent in a sensory room can help patients, from babies to special needs children, to improve their visual, auditory and tactile processing, as well as their gross motor skills. We are able to provide our patients with extra sensory stimulation and ensure we are meeting the individual needs of those in our care. We have used the trolley every day since it was delivered and we’ve had lots of smiles and giggles on the ward.”

Karen Breese, Dementia Nurse Specialist, said: “The new Sensory Cart has helped to provide some distraction for our patients and this has helped them to remain calm and can assist them in adjusting to the unprecedented environment we are facing. We saw an improvement in our patients from the start.”

NOVEMBER

Charitable funds from NHS Charities Together were used to launch a new workforce counselling service at the Hamar Help and Support Centre for staff struggling with the ongoing effects of the pandemic

DECEMBER

A much-needed sleep pod was provided for Junior doctors to rest in between shifts when they are not able to get home.. There has been a lot of research recently about the benefits of sleep pods for NHS workers and several NHS organisations also benefited from them.

“The pods look very futuristic with a bed and a lid that covers the top of half of the body. Once inside users can programme soothing music, low lighting and vibrations to help relax – the average usage time of a pod is around 17 mins.” – Sam Jones, Medical Education Manager.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR

JANUARY

An appeal was launched to ask keen sewers to create nightwear for patients and hundreds of donations came forwards. The nightwear was for patients who did not have a spare change of clothes because Covid-19 restrictions or isolation meant relatives could not easily get to the hospitals with a change of clothing

FEBRUARY

MARCH

SaTH Charity introduced an ‘NHS Thank You Daisy’ which was designed by the British Ironworks Centre and raised over £3,600.

6 year old Olivia began raising money selling handmade cards to say thank you to staff for caring for her grandad who had recently died at RSH. £500 has been raised through her just giving page and the Charity team contacted Olivia’s Mum with an offer of commercially printing her design to support her. 2,000 cards have been given out promoting Olivia’s Just Giving page.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF OUR CHARITABLE FUNDS COMMITTEE

- Teresa Boughey

As Chair of the SaTH’s Charitable Funds Committee I have been amazed at the generosity of the public and the support they have given to our dedicated staff who have continued to provide care throughout the pandemic.

I have been so proud to work with the rest of the Charitable Funds Committee to make sure that the donations we received have been

wisely and promptly spent to improve the care we give to our patients and to make sure we have supported our workforce as much as we could during this time.

The Committee will continue to focus on these priorities over the year ahead and we look forward to seeing plans come to fruition for the benefit of all.

SATH CHARITY’S MISSION

SATH CHARITY’S STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - Julia Clarke

This has been a year like no other and I am so proud of all the NHS staff who came in to care for others throughout the pandemic.

Our communities also recognised this and in my 36 years at SaTH, I have never seen such levels of support, which have been so welcomed by our workforce.

The Public Participation team have been at the heart of supporting the Charity – from organising volunteers to distribute the donations across the Trust to working with the public and businesses who have been fundraising on our behalf. To our staff and everyone in the community who has supported us over the past year I’d like to say a very big thank you.

OUR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TEAM

The Charity does not have any employees. The administration of the funds is carried out by employees from The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. The Public Participation Team manage the day to day running of the charity, as well as the hospital volunteers and the wider community engagement programmes. The Public Participation Team are currently funded entirely by the NHS.

They are also supported by Trust volunteers who donate their time to the charity via staff and patient support, events and fundraising, and general support for the Trust.

OUR IMPACT

SUPPORTING OUR PATIENTS

Income raised for the charity can go a long way in providing additional comforts for our patients. Every day patients across our hospitals feel the benefit of the generosity of people like you; from funding medical equipment and the latest research, to making our hospital a more comfortable and attractive place for patients of all ages.

This year’s challenges put even greater pressure on the well-being of our patients. With visiting on hold, patients were spending more time in isolation, away from friends and loved-ones. The charity was able to help in small way such as purchasing TV’s for wards, installing murals such as the one featured in the highlights for the year (page 5), and murals for our ‘Swan Rooms’ which are rooms to allow relatives to spend valuable time with their loved one, who is at end of life, in a more private, peaceful and calming environment.

With your help, we have funded important equipment to enhance our care. This includes items such as additional breast pumps for new mothers, state-of-the-art scanners for our gynae and renal patients and a new Dermatscope in Dermatology.

We have also been able to fund small but significant equipment such as additional blood pressure machines, and mobile diagnostic trolleys.

Over £7,000 was used for Dementia Improvement and Dementia Boxes

“An acute general hospital can be a disorientating and often frightening place for anyone, but this may be considerably worse for someone who is living with dementia. The money from the charity helps to provide appropriate activities to support stimulation to help people to remain alert and motivated.”

- Karen Breese, Dementia Nurse Specialist

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

OUR IMPACT - SUPPORTING OUR PATIENTS

Over £33,000 on Examination trolleys to support Endoscopy

“The examination Trolleys have made a big difference to patient comfort during what can be a difficult procedure. The have also improved manoeverability of those they replaced.”

Almost £18,000 was spent on for a Fujifilm Sonosite for

Renal/Nephrology a portable point of care ultrasound scanner enabling allowing safer and quicker diagnosis at the bedside to manage renal conditions

Over £28,000 has been spend on extending our Chemotherapy department with 4 extra treatment chairs and all associated building costs

“The treatment chairs have been a great benefit to the department and patients. 4 extra chairs means 4 additional patients being treated at any one time.”

We purchased a Fabian Therapy Evolution which is a specialist respiratory support device for newborn babies that require assistance with their breathing and cost almost £12,000.

“Our new Fabian is making a big difference to our new mums and their babies. The option of using highflow air delivery enables easier breast feeding, the all-important skin to skin contact to support mother baby bonding in those important first few days

– Bernadette Cooke, Ward Manager

Audiology received lateral impulse test equipment supporting laptop and software, costing £26,000

“The new test equipment has enabled Audiology balance specialists to provide a diagnosis of balance issues more accurately, and patients a more comfortable and time efficient experience.”

– Audiology Team, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital

– Lisa Challinor, Centre Manager.

OUR IMPACT

SUPPORTING OUR STAFF

This year has been one of the most challenging for our staff. In the early days of the pandemic, staff were spending weeks away from family to protect them and their patients. Long hot days were spend wearing PPE for hours on end. Hospitals systems were constantly changing and our staff adapting to these new, often more difficult, ways of working.

The toll on our staff has been both mental and physical. The Charity has utilised it's Small Things Make a Big Difference fund to support our staff. Over 40 picnic benches and benches have been purchased across both sites as social distancing rules meant staff rooms were either lost or spaces were limited to comply with government regulations.

The pandemic has also had a huge effect on the mental health of our staff. Whilst the country was being urged to stay at home, our staff were on the ground caring COVID positive patients, as well as the most unwell patients in our communities who has limited support from their own friends and families as visiting was put on hold. Your fundriaisng has enabled us to provide additional support to those most effected.

Just a note to say a very big thank you for the outdoor picnic tables!

I arrived to work in the antenatal clinic at Princess Royal Hospital this morning to find 2 new picnic benches in our outside area. We are all delighted that we are able to eat our lunches and take our breaks in a much better socially distanced way now and wish to send our thanks to you.

– Deborah Taylor, Women and Children’s Unit PRH

OUR IMPACT - SUPPORTING OUR STAFF

Over £1,500 was spent recognising staff on appreciation days such as Day of the Nurse, to show we appreciated everything they were doing.

We spent over £4,000 on staff lockers.

Its great to be able to leave personal items at work and know that they are safe in the lockers we have been provided with.

Over £9,000 was spend on furniture and equipment to make working environments better.

We spent over £8,000 on stocking well-being trolleys for staff which included much-needed hand cream, face cream and lip balm .

OUR IMPACT

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

We are very lucky to have three other charitable partners who raise money for our Trust - Friends of Princess Royal Hospital, League of Friends of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Lingen Davies Cancer Appeal.

We have also greatly benefitted from working in partnership with other charities throughout this period including MacMillan Cancer Support and NHS Charities Together.

In 2020 we embarked and completed a half-million pound project, in partnership with MacMillan Cancer Services, to redevelopment our counselling and well-being services at the Hamar Help and Support which is for individuals with cancer and other life-threatening conditions. This project was also supported by SaTH Charity, Lingen Davies and RSH League of Friends’

Every year, 1,900 people in our community are told they have cancer. Between 2010 and 2030, the number of people living with cancer in Shropshire is expected to double. This significant increase in cancer diagnoses means that there is a growing need for cancer information and support for people living with cancer.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

OUR IMPACT - WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP - NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER

NHS Charities Together (NHS CT) saw massive growth in 2020/2021 in response to their COVID-19 appeal.

As a member charity we benefitted from grants from NHS CT to support the Trust as it recovers from the most challenging time in its history, and to enable us to continue to go above and beyond for our patients and staff.

The grants were issued to help with immediate needs of staff, volunteers and patients as they face coronavirus.

For our staff this meant having spaces where they could take time out and have their breaks in a safe, socially distanced space, as well as vital counselling and support.

----- Start of picture text -----
In 2020/2021 we
received:
£180,000
----- End of picture text -----

For patients, we installed portable induction hearing loop systems as with the introduction of masks the hard of hearing could not lip read, there were sensory carts for use in paediatrics and with dementia patients. We also invested in radio walkie talkies to make it easier for staff in Theatres and ITU to communicate with better efficiency and maintain distancing between high and lower risk areas. We purchased TV's and stands to go in the hospital bays as patients were not able to use patient common areas and were not able to receive visitors due to COVID-19 restrictions.

SaTH Charity acted as the lead NHS Charity for NHS CT Community Partnership Grants. We have been helping to arrange grants for other NHS charities, as well as other voluntary organisations and health and social care organisations in Shropshire.

This grant has seen nine local organisations awarded over £220,000 to support local people in avoiding hospital admission or providing community support

So far, SATH Charity has received grants from NHS Charities Together:

Initial grant of £32,000

Grants based on £7 per staff member in the NHS trust which total £45,500

Grant of an additional £50,000 awarded for our social inclusion programme

A further £50,000 was awarded in the second wave of the pandemic

Grant of an additional £2,100

CAPTAIN TOM’S COURTYARD AND GARDEN

Captain Sir Tom Moore inspired so many people to take on their own extraordinary challenges, from running marathons to swimming lakes, and he gave us all hope. He showed NHS patients and staff who were struggling, that people cared, that they were looking out for them and doing what they could to support them.

We wanted to honour his memory with a special project, which NHS Charities Together agreed to fund. An unused courtyard at Princess Royal Hospital has been transformed into a haven for rest and reflection for staff at the Trust as well as patients and visitors.

It has been landscaped and features seating pods, private areas, lighting and flower beds with curved willow fences. It has been named Captain Tom’s Courtyard to recognise his incredible fundraising efforts for the NHS during the pandemic.

The garden was designed by cardio-respiratory scientist Emma Mayho, who works in the cardio-respiratory department across both sites; and who is also currently studying for her Royal Horticultural Society exams.

A garden is also being created at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. Captain Tom’s Garden will be a haven for rest and reflection for colleagues, patients and visitors. It is expected to be completed later in 2021.

“Captain Sir Tom Moore was a complete inspiration to us all and he did more than anyone to raise vital funds to support NHS patients, staff and volunteers during this crisis, when help was most needed. It was a time when it was easy to feel alone and yet this one smiling gentleman reached out and touched everyone’s lives. We really owe him so much.”

COUNSELLING AND SUPPORT

Over £18,000 was invested in a counselling service for staff in our Hamar Centre for staff counselling services and nearly £12,000 was invested in a nurse-led psychological support programme for staff struggling with the effects of the pandemic.

ROYAL DOME

With thanks to NHS CT funding a ‘Royal Dome’ pod was installed outside the Acute Medical Unit (AMU) at Princess Royal Hospital where staff can now go to rest during their shifts. The dome is fully equipped with heating and lighting – so the AMU team will be able to use it all year round. Almost £10,000 was spend on the dome.

“We have been without a staff room for some time, so we were absolutely delighted with our new pod.

On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to thank all those who have donated to SaTH Charity, and in particular recognise Captain Sir Tom whose fantastic efforts have also contributed to this.”

“During the COVID-19 period, dealing with the loss of my mum and working under new stresses, my anxiety has been at an all-time high. Not being able to see someone face to face, to chat and cry about how I was feeling and, at one point, wanted to end things myself has been difficult. You [the nurse led psychological support programme] saved me from my lowest point and it has given me the strength to deal with my loss and continue to work and support patients and staff”.

PUBLIC AND BUSINESS SUPPORT

PUBLIC AND BUSINESS SUPPORT

A local businessman donated a week in his luxury holiday home to SaTH Charity following a stay when he received the very best of care.

This has been a year of unprecedented donations from the public, businesses and fellow charities, who have support staff and patients throughout the pandemic.

This year we have also seen varied and thoughtful donations for our staff with a value of over £50,000 – toiletries, chocolates, scrubs, food and drink, thank-you bags.

IT Systems Manager, John Williams, won the free staff raffle for the holiday. John has worked at SaTH for 16 years and is married to Kelsey who has been a staff nurse at SaTH for 10 years.

John said “ Winning the prize was even more special for us as we were supposed to be flying to Majorca until COVID-19 hit, and the holiday was cancelled. This will be our first holiday since 2019. ”

From the community we received thank you cards and bags from local schools and care homes and hot meals from local restaurants and takeaways - all of which have had a wonderful uplifting effect on our workforce knowing that the community is there to support them and values the care they deliver day in and day out.

In January 2021 the Charity Team began to build a relationship with a local cinema Wellington Orbit who are a charity themselves. Wellington Orbit transferred their own unspent charity money to buy 40 food hampers for staff, alongside collecting kind messages from the community which they added to the hampers. In February they made a further donation of wellbeing boxes, and in March they purchased a bench as a final donation recognising the hard work of the hospitals staff throughout the pandemic.

PUBLIC AND BUSINESS SUPPORT

The County of Salop Steam Engine Society donated £800 to SaTH following the sale of a special commemorative mug.

In the absence of a 2020 Shrewsbury Steam Rally, Michelle Wesley one of our society’s media team, had the bright idea of the Society producing a special ‘limited-edition’ mug to commemorate ‘The Rally Season That Wasn’t’.

Teenager, Jezebella, has been fundraising for multiple hampers for different wards.

The Ironbridge & Severn Gorge Lions Club made two separate donations of food and wellbeing items for staff rooms at PRH.

Donations of ‘Kindness snack boxes’ were delivered to staff at PRH with the thanks of The Ironbridge & Severn Gorge Lions Club, and with the help of Broseley CO-OP, St George’s Primary School & Lyreco.

We received a donation from Shrewsbury livestock auctioneers Halls to support the Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Farmers across Shropshire generously donated sheep and calves to be sold to raise funds for the ITU, raising £3,979.53 for SaTH Charity.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period 2020/2021

Foreword

The Corporate Trustee presents The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Charity (the Charity) independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. Charitable funds are accounted for separately from other income received by The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

The accounts (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 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 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.

Following Treasury’s agreement to apply IAS 27 (Consolidation and Separate Financial Statements) to NHS Charities from 1 April 2013, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has established that as the Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the linked Charity, it effectively has the power to exercise control so as to obtain economic benefits so therefore may need to consolidate its Charity Accounts into its NHS Trust Accounts. However the income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the Charity are considered to be immaterial in the context of the accounts of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and therefore the Charity’s accounts have not been consolidated into its NHS Trust.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

What we plan to do with your donations: our future plans

The longer term aim of the Charity is to continue applying income received from donations to benefit the public served by the Trust and to support our staff, whilst maintaining minimal levels of reserves.

The Covid-19 pandemic will have an impact on the Charity’s charitable activities due to social distancing measures. However there has been an increase in donations from the general public in recognition of the courage and resilience of the NHS and the Charity will continue to receive grants from the national appeal managed by NHS Charities Together, spearheaded by Captain Sir Tom Moore. These grants are restricted to be used to support NHS staff and, as a consequence, NHS patients.

It is the Charity’s intention to continue to use its funds in broadly the same manner as in the past. Mindful of the many changes in the NHS, the future direction of the Charity will be shaped by these. We will also be looking to work more closely with local business to deliver partnership projects for the benefit of patients and staff. The reconfiguration of patient services within Shropshire and the plans for redesigning patient care to meet the needs of the future will influence the priorities for spending charitable funds.

We will achieve our mission by working with the NHS to develop the facilities to treat patients and to identify the treatments

How we manage the money

Within the Charity there are a number of restricted funds relating to particular wards and departments nominated by the donor. These are overseen by fund advisors who make

recommendations on how to spend the money within the designated area within the boundaries of local guidance agreed by the Corporate Trustee.

The Charity also holds a level of unrestricted funds that are received with no particular preference expressed by donors. These funds can be accessed by all wards and departments for patient and staff welfare. The level of unrestricted funds has increased throughout the year.

The Corporate Trustee oversees the work of the fund advisors and has the power to revoke a fund advisor’s remit or, subject to any specific donor restriction, direct the use to which funds are put.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Board devolves responsibility for the on-going management of funds to the Charitable Funds Committee which administers the funds on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. The Committee is required to:

• Provide support, guidance and encouragement for all its income raising activities whilst managing and monitoring the receipt of all income;

• Ensure that ‘best practice’ is followed in the conduct of all its affairs fulfilling all of its legal responsibilities;

• Ensure that the approved Investment Policy approved by the NHS Trust Board as Corporate Trustee is adhered to and that performance is continually reviewed whilst being aware of ethical considerations;

The Corporate Trustee approves decisions

The Charity has established a reserves policy as part of their plans to provide long term support to The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust for patient and staff welfare. The current reserves policy states:‘’The Corporate Trustee recognises that the Charity is entirely dependent upon donations for its future viability which will inevitably be subject to fluctuations. With this in mind an unrestricted fund reserve is required to meet one year’s administration, fund-raising and support costs and thus ensure the Charity is able to operate as a going concern.’’

As at 31 March 2021 the Charity holds restricted funds of £1,743,000 (2020: £1,707,000) and unrestricted funds of £521,000 (2020: £421,000). The description,

nature and purpose of the restricted funds are contained within Note 22: Analysis of charitable funds.

The Corporate Trustee considers all unrestricted reserves to be free reserves and thus the level of free reserves is calculated as follows:

Unrestricted funds £521,000

One year’s administration, fund-raising and support costs £32,000 Free Reserves £489,000

Charitable fund advisors of restricted funds are encouraged to spend their funds appropriately within a reasonable period of receipt and not to keep any unnecessary reserves. However the Charity and the Corporate Trustee are continually trying to improve processes to enable charitable funds to be more easily and appropriately accessed. Fund advisors are expected to submit annual spending plans by April each year for the Charitable Funds Committee to review. This will offer earlier benefit to patients and staff.

Our financial health: a strong balance sheet

The assets and liabilities of the Charity as at 31 March 2021 are stated below, compared with the position as at 31 March 2020.

The net assets of the Charitable Funds as at 31 March 2021 were £2,264,000 (2020: £2,128,000). Overall net assets increased by £136,000 (2020: £54,000) with an unrealised loss on the valuation of our investments of £19,000 (2020: £6,000 gain) and an excess of income over expenditure of £155,000 (2020: £48,000).

About our investments

Long-term investments are placed in a COIF (Charities Official Investment Fund) managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd. This arrangement allows the Charity access to a wider portfolio of investments than would otherwise have been possible. This arrangement also ensures no investments are made in companies that would be contra to NHS principles. Investment performance is monitored by the Charitable Funds Committee which receives quarterly reports from the investment advisors.

An investment policy is in place, this is reviewed annually to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the Charity. The policy is designed to protect the Charity from undue adverse risk and inflation whilst ensuring the Charity’s long, medium and short term objectives are met. A cash balance remains in a Royal Bank of Scotland deposit account to cover short term funding requirements.

Due to the uncertainty in the financial markets the Charitable Funds Committee maintained their investment strategy and portfolio allocation during the year generating income of £45,000 but an unrealised loss on investments of £19,000. This investment income was apportioned between individual funds on the basis of average fund balances held during the year.

The Charitable Funds Committee has currently agreed to keep the investments in a fixed interest fund and a deposit fund. This will enable prompt access to these funds to support the Committee’s policy of reducing the invested sums as a result of its aim to see money utilised early for patient benefit. This will be reviewed at Charitable Funds Committee meetings to monitor if the Charity should start re-investing in listed securities.

It is expected that the financial performance in 2021/22 will continue to be affected by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial markets.

Charity governance, structure and management arrangements

The Corporate Trustee is responsible for deciding policy and making sure that it is implemented. Day to day management is delegated to the Director of Finance who is responsible for carrying out the decisions of the Corporate Trustee and for working with the professional advisors and with the employees of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust who provide the financial services to the Charity.

The Charitable Funds Committee provides detailed scrutiny of the Charity’s activities, including income and expenditure and monitoring the performance of investments, and makes appropriate recommendations to the Corporate Trustee with regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The Finance department review any Charity Commission guidance and advise appropriately with specific issues being raised for the attention of the Corporate Trustee through the Trust’s Charitable Funds Committee.

Trustee recruitment, appointment and induction

Chair and Non-Executive Members of the Trust Board are appointed by NHSE/I under arrangements made by the Secretary of State for Health for a fixed term of not more than four years (renewable to a maximum of ten years in total). Executive members are subject to recruitment by the NHS Trust Board. Non-Executive Members are selected to give a good mix of appropriate professional skills.

Members are given an opportunity to raise questions via the Corporate Trustee. Additionally, copies of policies relating to charitable funds are provided on the Trust’s intranet.

Members are provided with a number of Charity Commission publications to assist them in fulfilling their roles. Within the year quarterly investment reports have been provided by the Trust’s investment advisors.

Key management personnel remuneration

During the year none of the members of the NHS Trust Board or senior NHS Trust staff or parties related to them were beneficiaries of the Charity.

Neither any member of the NHS Trust Board nor the Corporate Trustee has received honoraria, emoluments or expenses in the year and the Corporate Trustee has purchased trustee indemnity insurance.

Risk analysis

The Charity has a policy that any significant risks to which the Charity faces or is likely to encounter are reported to the Charitable Funds Committee. The Charitable Funds Committee review the risks that are applicable to the Charity and are satisfied that the risks to the Charity have been mitigated.

The Charitable Funds Committee reviews its investments at each meeting and considers the risks surrounding the Charity’s investment strategy. This will need to be reviewed by the Committee during 2021/22 as the risk will be increased as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the stock market. The Committee has not changed it’s portfolio allocation. The Charity continues to invest in a fixed interest fund and a deposit fund.

The Charity is reliant on donations to allow it to spend on charitable activities for the benefit of staff and patients at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. If income falls the Charity would not be able to spend or enter into longer term commitments with the NHS hospitals we support. The public’s support of the NHS has been demonstrated through

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

increased donations during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the national emergency appeal managed by NHS Charities Together. However, social distancing measures in place in 2020 and continuing into 2021, particularly during the spring and summer months will affect fundraising events and therefore reduce donated income. This continues to be a key risk as the pandemic continues and the public’s goodwill towards the NHS starts to wane.

The NHS is, by its very nature, subject to national changes in government policy as well as local politically driven decisions. The Charitable Funds Committee regularly liaises with all of our NHS partners to understand any potential changes and identify any risks as it may mean initiatives or healthcare activities supported by the Charity are no longer delivered in the area.

Related parties

offer support and education for staff and members of the Charitable Funds Committee. As a member of NHS Charities Together, the Charity has also been very grateful to receive grants from their national emergency appeal.

Our relationship with the wider community

The ability of the Charity to continue its vital support for the two hospitals is dependent on its ability to maintain and increase donations from the general public. The Charity also continues to forge strong relationships with members of staff of the hospital without whose co-operation the ability to make an effective contribution would be much diminished.

It is hoped the Charity will continue its good relationships with other local charities such as the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital League of Friends, Friends of the Princess Royal Hospital and Lingen Davies Charity to seek opportunities to work together in the future to fund joint ventures.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity and is therefore a related party. The Charity works closely with, and provides the majority of its funding to, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust which comprises of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust makes a number of administrative services, including accounts preparation, available to the Charity by agreement with the Corporate Trustee.

The Charity is one of over 400 NHS linked charities in England and Wales who are eligible to join NHS Charities Together. As a member charity, the Charity has the opportunity to discuss matters of common concern and exchange information and experiences, join together with others to lobby government departments and others, and to participate in conferences and seminars which

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

Under charity law, the trustee are responsible for preparing the trustee’s annual report and accounts for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of expenditure over income for that period.

The trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. The trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustee 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.

Notes to the Accounts

  1. Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.

The accounts (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 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the

37

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Corporate Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the charity’s donated income although this is partially offset by the generous donations made by members of the public in the first lockdown and restricted income from the NHS Charities Together national appeal. There may be an interest rate impact on investment income due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial markets. The charity has few on-going commitments so will not affect the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.

In future years, the key risks to the Charity are a fall in income from donations or investment income.

(b) Funds structure

The Charity’s funds are a mixture of restricted and unrestricted.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor at the time the donation was made.

Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which can be used at the Corporate Trustee’s discretion for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.

The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 22.

(c) 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.

Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.

(d) 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.

(e) Incoming resources from legacies

Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable. Receipt is probable when:

been granted

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

(f) Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:

• It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred .

(g) Recognition of expenditure and associated liabilities as a result of grant The Charity does not have any grants payments made to linked, related party or third party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies, in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Charity.

(h) Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff recharges, costs of administration, external independent examination costs and IT system support. The support costs attributable to charitable activities are apportioned across those activities in proportion to the average fund balance. The analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment applied are shown in note 12.

(i) Fundraising costs

The costs of generating funds are the costs attributable to generating income for the Charity. The fundraising costs attributable to charitable activities are apportioned across those activities in proportion to the average fund balance.

(j) 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. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support and fundraising costs as shown in note 9.

(k) Fixed asset investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Investments are included in the Balance Sheet at the current market value quoted by the investment advisors, excluding dividends.

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, the attitude of investors to investmentrisk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors. Further information on the Charity’s investments can be found in note 16.

39

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(l) Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

(m) 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.

(n) 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.

Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long term creditors.

(o) Realised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later).

(p) Staff costs and pensions

The administration of the funds is carried out by employees from The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust whose costs are recharged to the Charity. These staff members belong to the NHS Pension Scheme which is an unfunded defined benefit scheme which is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. The recharge from The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust includes the employer contributions to that scheme.

  1. Related party transactions The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust makes a number of administrative services, including accounts preparation, available to the Charity by agreement with the Corporate Trustee. These are included within support costs – see note 12.

None of the members of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Board or parties to them has undertaken any transactions with the Charity or received any benefit from the Charity in payment or kind. No Board member has received honoraria, emoluments or expenses in the year.

Allocation of support costs and fundraising costs
Support and fundraising costs have all been apportioned proportionately to average fund
balances during the year. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to the
strategic and day to day management of the Charity. The Charity had an independent
examination rather than an audit in 2018/19 but charges had already been accrued for an audit
in 2018/19 at a greater charge than the independent examination charge. This resulted in a
negative charge for audit/independent examination fees in 2019/20. Total 2021 Total 2020
