3. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Corporate Trustee has been appointed under section 11 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990.

Leeds Community Healthcare Charitable Trust and Related Charities held on trust by Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust are registered with the Charity Commission. The registered charity number is 1135654.

The Leeds Community Healthcare Charitable Trust and Related Charities are registered under an Umbrella registration with the Charity Commission in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The Charity consists of ten individual funds at 31 March 2024; one of which was opened since April 2023. The funds are detailed later in the report. The Umbrella registration has permitted the production of a single report and set of accounts as it is considered to be one entity for accounting purposes.

The Charitable Funds were transferred to Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust from NHS Leeds when the Trust was established in April 2011 and its Board became the Corporate Trustee. The NHS Appointments Commission appoints Non-Executive members of the Board of Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust. The Trust Board recruits and appoints the Executive Directors. Members of the Board are not individual trustees under Charity Law but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. Typically these members of the Board are also members of appropriate professional bodies. The Corporate Trustee is informed of developments in Charity legislation and best practice through the Trustee meetings and members of the Trust Board are trained accordingly.

The Executive Director of Finance and Resources and Director of Nursing of Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust are the principal advisors to the Corporate Trustee, and was responsible for the day to day management of the Corporate Trustee.

The Charitable Funds Committee is a formal sub-committee of the Trust Board. Meetings are held at least three times a year to receive assurance on the day to day running of the Charity. Its members are the Chair, a Non-Executive Director, Director of Nursing and the Executive Director of Finance and Resources of the Trust. Reports are prepared for, and presented at these meetings where they are reviewed in line with operational policies and spending limits and actions agreed that relate to the administration of the Charitable Funds. All activities are reported periodically to the Corporate Trustee. The Corporate Trustee receives all minutes of the Charitable Funds Committee. In planning the Charity’s activities, due regard is given to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.

Internal reports are prepared by the Finance Department for inspection by the Corporate Trustee. These reports include details of bank balances, purchases, new funds opened and fund balances. These reports are prepared from a centrally maintained computerised ledger.

The Corporate Trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objectives of each fund, and by designating funds, the Corporate Trustee ensures that the wishes of donors are respected.

All expenditure incurred during the year was authorised by the Corporate Trustee through delegated responsibility to the Charitable Funds Committee. The decision to spend funds takes into account the purposes of the expenditure and the funds available to meet that expenditure.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Corporate Trustee has reviewed the major strategic, business and operational risks to which the Charity is exposed. Systems have been established to mitigate those risks, and procedures are in place to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should any of those risks materialise. The Charity has the required control structure in place to mitigate the key perceived risks to its successful operation, namely:

The internal audit function of Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust performs periodic audits of the financial systems which underpin the Charity’s transactions. Internally there is an annual review of the authorisation levels and compliance with these.

5. FUND OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The main purpose of the Charitable Funds held on trust is to apply income for any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for Community Healthcare services provided in Leeds.

The main objectives of the Umbrella Charity are to contribute to the wellbeing of service users, provide development opportunities for staff and facilitate research and development work. Achieving the objectives involves a cross-section of stakeholders. The Charity’s focus is on areas not covered by, or fully supported by, central NHS funds. The Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust supports people across the community to improve health and wellbeing. As an NHS Trust it is committed to delivering the best possible care. However there are things that the Trust would like to provide that go above and beyond day-to-day NHS healthcare services. The Charity helps to support people whilst they are in the Trust’s care during recovery and supports patients with long term conditions.

5

6. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution and the wishes and directions of donors. The Charity, through donations, continues to benefit people who use a range of community health services in Leeds. Here are just a few examples of things that have been funded by the Charity during 2023/24:

7. INVESTMENTS AND ASSETS HELD

The current investment strategy, as authorised by the Corporate Trustee, is to maintain surplus cash resources in low risk, interest bearing deposit accounts. The primary rationale for this approach is that monies raised should be expended within a reasonable period of time and that longer term or higher risk investment products are not considered to be appropriate.

8. FINANCIAL REVIEW

8.1 Movements in Funds

The net assets of the Charity as at 31 March 2024 were £112,413 (2022/23 - £118,489). This is a reduction of £6,076 from 1 April 2023.

8.2 Incoming resources

The total incoming resources for the year were £41,838 (2022/23 - £6,935).

The Charity continues to rely on donations, legacies and investment income as the main sources of income. No legacy income was received during 23/24.

Interest received on cash held at the bank during 2023/24 was £2,127 (2022/23 - £341).

8.3 Expenditure

In 2023/24 the total expenditure of the Charity was £47,914 (2022/23 - £78,531).

The expenditure this year has helped the Charity to achieve its objectives in supporting staff by way of training and enhancing care environments which has enabled them to serve the Trust’s patients more effectively.

Support and governance costs totalling £23,264 (2022/23 - £4,569) were apportioned across all funds based on the closing balance of the funds.

The Charity does not employ any staff and the Corporate Trustee does not charge for its time. Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust staff are utilised by the Charity to manage funds and produce the management information and accounts. The staff time may be recharged to the Charity on an arm’s length basis. Consequently, administration costs are kept to a minimum.

8.4 RESERVES POLICY

The Corporate Trustee formulates the reserves policy in accordance with the Charity Commission booklet “Charities’ Reserves”. In 2017/18 the Charitable Funds Committee reviewed the reserves policy and agreed that both the General Fund and the Hannah House Fund should each maintain a minimum balance of at least £4,500 to ensure that there is a sufficient balance in each Fund to deliver its objectives and enable bids to be supported.

The two funds which were opened in the current year do not require a reserve level as it is expected that these funds will be spent in full on the specific objectives.

The closing fund balances of 31 March 2024 was £112,413 of which £77,268 was unrestricted and £35,145 was restricted. There are future commitments of £13,014 at the Balance Sheet date of 31 March 2024 which gives an available unrestricted fund balance of £64,254.

7

9. FUTURE COMMITMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND PLANS

In considering the spending of funds in the future, the Directors will work closely together in their role as agents of the Corporate Trustee. Enhancing Leeds Community Healthcare’s service provision remains an objective of expenditure plans. The Charitable Funds Committee will also focus on the development of fundraising activities and establishing collaborative approaches with other local NHS charities.

Any material transactions between either the Corporate Trustee or key members of staff and the Charitable Trust have been disclosed in note 14 to the accounts.

Goods and services used by the Charitable Trust were procured through Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust and recharged on an arm’s length basis.

10. THANK YOU

On behalf of the staff and patients who have benefited from improved services due to donations and legacies, the Corporate Trustee would like to thank everyone; patients and relatives, members of the public and organisations including NHS Charities Together who have made charitable donations this year.

STATEMENT OF THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under charity law, the Corporate Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements 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.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice requires that the Trustee.

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 the Trustee under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. The Trustee has general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to it to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
