The charity was created by Trust Deed and is registered with the Charities Commission as Kent Community Health Charitable Fund (Registered Charity No. 1139134). The primary object of the charity, as stated in its governing document, requires the Trustee to ‘hold the trust fund upon trust to apply income, and at its discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for the general purpose of Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust’. The charity helps pay for services and items not funded by NHS budgets, which enhance patient care and services, as well as improve patients’ and staff wellbeing and morale.

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the funds held on trust.

The Executive and Non-Executive Directors of Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust Board share the responsibility for ensuring that the NHS body fulfils its duties as corporate trustee in managing the charitable funds.

The Board of Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, on behalf of the Corporate Trustee, has delegated to the Charitable Funds Committee (CFC) the responsibility to ensure charitable funds held are being managed and accounted for in accordance with the terms of NHS Charities Guidance and Charities Law. Membership of the Committee includes two non-executive directors, and the Chief Nurse. The Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee for 2024-25 was Nigel Turner (Non-Executive Director) until 30[th] September 2024, and Dr Razia Shariff (Non-Executive Director) from 1[st] October 2024. All members of the CFC have regard to the principles outlined in the Charities Commission’s guidance on public benefit and annual bids/spending plans are requested to ensure the most effective use of resources.

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to providing a first class and comprehensive healthcare service for the people within their area of responsibility.

Kent Community Health Charitable Fund

Non-NHS Grant making policy

Grants are made, at the discretion of the Trustee, where the spending meets the objects of the charity. No grants were made to non-NHS organisations during the 2024-25 financial period (2023-24 Nil).

Reserves Policy

The reserves policy agreed by the Charitable Funds Committee is that no minimum level of reserves is maintained.

A scheme of delegation operates through which all grant funded activity and support costs are managed and authorised by relevant seniority thus enabling the facilitation of a fully accountable, effective, and efficient management of the funds held. This in turn ensures sufficient and appropriate controls are in place to prevent the overcommitment of the charitable funds.

Risk Management

At the time of approval of the accounts the Trustee has reviewed the major strategic, business and operational risks to which the charity is exposed. The strong governance structure in place ensures continued effective stewardship and achievement of the charity’s objectives.

Trustee Responsibilities

The Trustee is required by charity law to prepare financial statements for each financial year or period which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity as at the end of the financial period.

In preparing those accounts the Trustee is required to:

The Trustee is also responsible for:

Keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011; and

Safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

2024-25 Key Highlights

Community Hospitals

Following a generous donation to Friends Ward at Whitstable & Tankerton hospital a specialist recliner chair was purchased. This has allowed patients with difficulties sitting in a normal chair to sit comfortably and benefit from improved posture and balance.

The funds have once again enabled us to provide each patient in our community hospitals with a present on Christmas day of a fleece blanket.

Adult Clinical Services

Polar heart rate monitors were bought for the Cardiac Rehabilitation service to enhance the accuracy of heart rate measurements during functional walk assessments. This has enabled the team to provide improved and more specific patient care based on the patient heart rate response.

A SaeboMAS mini which is a lightweight, zero gravity, dynamic mobile arm support was purchased to help in the rehabilitation of stroke and neurological patients. The machine assists the weakened shoulder and elbow during functional tasks, and is resulting in improving patients’ post stroke recovery and their quality of life.

Staff Wellness

Furniture and decoration was provided for a health wellbeing & prayer room for staff at Trinity House.

The provision of this space has resulted in positive feedback from staff providing them with a comfortable setting to rest or pray at breaks. One member of staff has commented on how lovely and inviting the space is for prayer time and is now using the space more often.

Kent Community Health Charitable Fund

An end of year event for our volunteers and participation partners was funded by the charity. The event was a celebration and thank you to everyone who supports the trust and makes a difference through volunteering. The event was well attended and included a quiz, lunch, a chair-based exercise activity and interaction with three therapy dogs.

The staff football team received funding for another season. This year the funding enabled the cost of training facilities once a week to be covered and entry into the Kent FA Business Sixes tournament So Brn where the team finished as } P runners-up after battling their way A r to the final and losing out to a lastminute own goal. Our goalkeeper

Thom won player of the tournament following his remarkable efforts in two penalty shoot outs!

Various teams throughout the Trust were awarded funding for team building days. These events gave the chance for some of our teams to meet and work together in person, particularly for those teams that predominantly work in a remote setting from home.

Comments from the teams include - Thank you to the iCare charity for a great afternoon exploring Canterbury. We took on The Kings Mile Treasure Trail and we won!

This promoted staff health & wellbeing within a team which all work remotely and rarely sees each other face to face, and a great time was had by all enjoying the outside and being in the fresh air.

NHS Charities Together

The NHS Charities together Stage 3 Recovery Grant has enabled the Trust to deliver:

The long-term conditions project led to engagement of over nine hundred colleagues to gather ideas for improving the working lives of people with long term conditions working at the Trust, leading to improved resources and guidance, and enhancing the information available about our estate and our use of language.

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 been withdrawn.

1.4 Structure of Funds

Unrestricted funds are resources held which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are a portion of the unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustee for particular purposes, normally reflecting the non-binding wishes of the donors.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors, or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds is charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements on page 24 (note 11.3).

The Charitable Fund had no tangible or intangible fixed assets for 2024-25 (2023-24 Nil).

1.6 Fixed Asset Investments

Fixed asset investments are held to generate income or for their investment potential, or both. Investment gains and losses arising during the reporting period are recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reporting date.

Dividend income from fixed asset investments is included in the period in which it is received and is allocated to funds based on the average balance of the funds across the period during which the income accrued.

The Charitable Fund had no fixed asset investments for 2024-25 (2023-24 Nil).

18

Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between market value at the year-end and opening market value (or date of purchase if later).

1.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

1.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
