During 2022 we carried out our planned expansion of the volunteers programme, by increasing numbers, grouping them into batches, offering a standardised induction, and asking for a minimum six month commitment (4-8 hours per week), or full time for one month. We had 43 volunteers and students on elective placements. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

CSH has had an extremely busy year with both ongoing and new projects. 

- 39 external events presented at 

- 3 internal events (nhs forest conference , 2x Connecting Q webinars)

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

December 2022. Completing the project funded at half a million pounds from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund has been a huge amount of work in the Green Space team, with funding secured for a subsequent programme from the Trees Call to Action Fund, which is £150,000 per year over 3 years. We now have 5 Nature Recovery Rangers embedded at hospital sites, working with staff and patients and community to deliver change on the ground. They have made a huge difference to the sites where they have been based and the programme is being requested at other NHS sites. 

In October we held a second online NHS Forest Conference, with the theme of ‘an equitable recovery for people and nature', attracting 350 delegates, including healthcare staff, outdoor space charities, researchers and artists. 

## **Staffing changes** 

In 2022, CSH continued growth in all programmes with 11 new staff: 

1.  In the Green Space Programme we employed 6 new staff members including Felicity Harris as Programme Director, Emma Edwards as Ranger Manager and 4 new rangers. 

2.  In the Clinical Programme we employed a Clinical Programme Manager, Hazel Walsh, a new Fellow in Quality Improvement, Alice Clack and a Sustainable Practice Lead, Catherine Richards. 

3.  For the core team we hired a full-time Admin lead Aneesa Aljahmi, and Sara LeMaitre has joined as a Comms assistant in addition to our full time comms lead. 

## **Green Space Programme in 2021/22** 

Improving the management and use of NHS land/green space and community access to green space. 

Key achievements in 2022 include a major piece of work on strategy: 

## **HEALTHCARE HAPPENS HERE: THE NHS GREEN ESTATE AS A RESILIENT HEALTHCARE ASSET** 

All too often, our thinking about healthcare and the delivery of health services focuses on spaces within hospital and medical practice buildings, with no consideration of the potential of the outside space also managed by healthcare organisations. We want to change this perspective, demonstrating that “healthcare happens here” – that green spaces on healthcare sites can be a resilient healthcare asset, with benefits to human health and the natural environment. That is why we are working to support the NHS to realise the potential of its green estate as a resilient healthcare asset. 

## **IMPROVING BIODIVERSITY ON NHS GREEN ESTATE** 

## **Connecting and improving trees and woodlands** 

In the 2021-2022 season we planted 15,721 trees at 83 sites. The 100,000th NHS Forest tree was planted in December 2022. We are increasingly seeing NHS Green Plans cite the NHS Forest and tree planting, woodland creation and connectivity as deliverables. 

Our NHS Forest ‘Trees Call to Action’ project started in July 2022. This project is funded by the Trees Call to Action Fund. The fund was developed by Defra in partnership with the Forestry Commission and is being delivered by the Heritage Fund. Over the next two years we will be focusing on tree planting and woodland improvement and management as we work with NHS partners in specific areas to maximise the benefits trees and woodlands on NHS estate provide for nature, staff, patients and the wider community.

**THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Other biodiversity improvements** 

Recognising the importance of accessible, biodiverse-rich space close to hospital buildings we have been developing a number of spaces, transforming them from grey to green; improving biodiversity in existing gardens and grounds and providing opportunities for people to connect with those spaces. 

## **Fazakerley Woods, Liverpool** 

Fazakerley Woods is adjacent to Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool; at over 13 hectares, it forms a significant area of woodland within an urban setting, surrounded by housing, business estates and a prison.  The location of the woodland makes it vulnerable to anti-social behaviour including fly tipping and vandalism, but it also provides huge potential for the area to be used as a community and healthcare asset, providing easily accessible green space for hospital staff, patients, and residents. 

Our Nature Recovery Ranger, Nick White, has been working on site with a group of volunteers, the Friends of Bluebell Woods, to carry out remedial works, improve habitat management and increase accessibility. Although still early in the process, Nick is working on longer term plans to renovate the woodlands and develop a sustainable management plan. In addition to making environmental improvements, the aim is to increase usability of the space for a range of groups, for example green social prescribers, respite groups for carers, healthcare staff and the general public. 

## **Increasing NHS staff resilience, health and wellbeing** 

Our Green Recovery Challenge Fund programme came to an end in June. The resulting Green Space for Health Evaluation report provides a review of the NatureWell outdoor wellbeing sessions carried out in 2021, with 51 staff from five NHS trusts. They reported improved wellbeing, satisfaction and happiness levels, both immediately after the sessions and one month later, and a reduction in anxiety. 

“Taking time out to breathe and focus on the trees, even for two minutes has really helped to ease my stress and anxiety.” – NatureWell participant 

The report also evaluates the Nature Recovery Ranger pilot project which delivered activities to support NHS staff wellbeing through nature-based interventions. The majority of participants stated that taking part in the activities had increased their understanding of the natural environment, benefitted their wellbeing, and inspired them to protect the environment. 

## **Staff wellbeing through Green Gym, Newcastle** 

The Newcastle Hospitals Green Gym, in partnership with the Northumberland Rivers Trust, has run monthly events since May 2018, engaging hospital staff, family and friends in various conservation activities. The aim is to improve wellbeing through nature connection, as well as make a positive contribution to the local environment. As a result of the pandemic there was a decline in attendance and the programme needed reinvigoration. 

Our Nature Recovery Ranger, Sally Johnson, has recently taken up post, working across the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospital in Newcastle; part of her remit is to improve and expand the Green Gym programme. Sally has increased communication and widened interest; building a programme of events near the hospital, which she is running twice a week throughout winter to keep people motivated to get outdoors and connect with nature through the coldest months. 

## **Staff Meadows Health and Wellbeing Route, Cardiff** 

At the University Hospital of Wales, we worked to create a walking route between the hospital site and the

biodiverse wildflower meadows at Heath Park. Through the installation of interpretation panels and online resources, the project encourages staff, patients, visitors and the wider community to make use of this space for health and wellbeing. Additional initiatives, such as a staff walking group, are being developed to further support the wellbeing of staff working at the site. 

## **Developing the NHS green estate for healthcare** 

We know that our knowledge and understanding of the health benefits of green space are increasing all the time. We continue to support people to develop their knowledge and understanding through our education, network and evidence base. 

## **Community Green Hub, Homerton** 

At Homerton Hospital in Hackney, our Nature Recovery Ranger, Naomi Paine, is working on transforming the hospital into a community green hub, utilising green spaces for health and wellbeing activities and embedding the concept of nature recovery into treatment and preventative care. 

For example, Naomi has identified the Diabetes Unit as a key point for community integration; they organise regular walking groups with outpatients and provide education on healthy eating and outdoor activities. With staff and patient input, she is creating an allotment garden and green wellbeing space on publicly accessible land outside their unit, to deliver these goals along with a programme of nature- connection activities. This supports patients, staff, and community groups in using nature-connection to improve their mental and physical health, as well as providing opportunities for preventative care and capitalising on the hospital’s position within the community to make it a welcoming, restorative, educational facility. 

## **Green Space Staff changes** 

In June 2022 we were sad to say goodbye to Carey Newson who was the Green Space Director, leading an expanded team. She not only delivered the Green Recovery Challenge Fund project during the year but also to secure funding for follow-on projects. We have recruited Felicity Harris as an excellent new Director and we are already benefitting from her experience and strategic insight from decades working in the natural environment sector and a background in secondary school teaching. In addition to a new full time Ranger Manager we have appointed new rangers: Naomi Paine, William Styles, Sally Johnson and Nick White. 

## **Clinical Programme: Highlights in 2021/22** 

The team continued to grow with a new appointment of a Clinical Programme Manager, Hazel Walsh, a new Fellow in Quality Improvement, Alice Clack, a Network Manager, Susannah McWilliam, and a Sustainable Practice Lead, Catherine Richards. In addition, we continue to provide mentoring and supervision to Fellows and Scholars. 

## **Sustainable Specialties** 

CSH Specialties work has focused on development of our fellow and scholarship programmes during the period December 2021-November 2022. There has been a significant increase in the number of scholar and fellowship programmes at CSH, from four in December 2021 and rising to a peak of 32 in October 2022. The programme is supported by Clinical Specialties Lead, Catherine Floyd.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Fellowships** 

All of the four fellowships which started in September 2021 (Anaesthetics, Endoscopy, Education and a Welsh Clinical Leadership Fellow) have continued during 2022. Three of these fellows remained employed in their health board/trust and worked half time alongside their clinical duties. The Education Fellow (initially Victoria Stanford, who was replaced by Alice Clack in August 2022) worked full time, or 0.9WTE respectively, for CSH. 

## Examples of outputs made possible by the fellows, included: 

• publication of the Position Statement on Reducing the environmental footprint of gastrointestinal endoscopy: 

European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates (ESGENA) 

- setting up of Green Health Wales 

- Publication The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) Project tool 

- Open access teaching SusQI video. 

Five other new Fellows started in August 2022, all remaining with their current employers and seconded to CSH. Specialties covered include Paediatrics, Oncology, Anaesthetics/ICU, Dental Clinical Leadership and Valuebased Health Care. Each fellowship lasts 12 months, apart from the value-based healthcare fellow, which was a 7 month programme. 

## **Scholarships** 

Two new individual scholarship programmes started in March 2022, with scholars from backgrounds in child health and ophthalmology. Individual scholar programmes last 12 months. They also remain with their current employer, but in contrast to the fellows, scholars have only up to one day per week to devote to sustainable healthcare work. 

21 scholars joined one of our three group scholar programmes, whist still remaining with their existing employer. Two of these covered geographical areas (Cardiff and Vale and Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Boards) and one covered a specialty, Kidney Care, alongside the national kidney care professional and patient organisation, UK Kidney Care Association. 

This year’s scholarship programmes have included sustainable quality improvement projects in ENT surgery (reducing the need for general anaesthetic for patients undergoing nasal surgery) and reduction in the inappropriate use of inhalers for patients in primary care. 

## **Networks** 

Our sustainable networks hub (link is external), which serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas on sustainability in clinical specialties, gained a total of 1,014 new members during the year. In addition to this, we launched three new networks, Imaging Susnet, Clinical Labs Susnet, and Orthoptic Susnet bringing the total number of networks to 28. 

Throughout the year, we have also been hard at work designing and building a revamped and improved networks platform that will maximise sector engagement and drive sustainable change. Susannah, our Network Hub Coordinator, led this initiative, in addition to expanding and managing the current networks platform and nurturing their communities of practice. Susannah left us in October to take up a more local employment in Wales, and we started recruiting her successor (who started in early 2023).

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Sustainable Clinical Practice** 

The CSH Green Team Competition is an award-winning leadership and engagement programme to transform healthcare by cutting carbon, improving patient care & staff experience and saving money. CSH ran 7 competitions in 2022 with 35 teams from a range of specialties and departments. Teams identified, developed, and measured the outcomes of 'SusQI' projects that were implemented in real healthcare settings in England and Wales, demonstrating how sustainability is part and parcel of quality improvement across the NHS. 

Teams were supported to consider the impact of their projects across the triple bottom line of sustainable value including carbon footprinting their projects. Together, the teams achieved potential annual savings of £783,564 and 7,196,266 kgCO2e, equivalent to driving over 20.7 million miles in an average car. Teams have also improved patient care as well as patient and staff experience through their work. 

Joanne Woolley, Audit and Improvement Manager at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust said: _“It has been exciting having the Green Team Competition running in our trust. We weren’t sure in advance what the project outcomes would be as the timescale is challenging for busy staff. The CSH team supported the teams incredibly well and really challenged them to think broadly about the improvements they might investigate. The Awards Ceremony was an uplifting event particularly as the impact was so impressive across all the projects for patients and for staff. It is clear that our teams are really motivated to continue the work they have started. We look forward to taking the learning forward.”_ 

## **Sustainability in QI Education** 

In 2022, the SusQI Education project, generously funded by Health Education England, The Health Foundation, and King's College London, successfully recruited 14 beacon sites across the UK, representing a diverse range of specialties and education levels. These sites included undergraduate and postgraduate education in medicine, nursing, midwifery, and allied health professions training. 

Key achievements for the SusQI Education Project in 2022 include: 

1. Building on the lessons learnt in 2021, each site identified key educators to become SusQI Leads. This was designed to ensure SusQI education continued at the beacon sites even after the project ended.  The key educators received training in delivering SusQI education by attending the newly launched CSH Teaching SusQI course. The CSH SusQI team mentored the beacon site SusQI leads to enable them to embed sustainability and the SusQI framework into current QI teaching materials and assessment. Training and Mentorship of SusQI Leads: Each beacon site identified key educators to become SusQI Leads, ensuring the sustainability and growth of SusQI education. These educators received training through the CSH Teaching SusQI course and ongoing mentorship from the CSH SusQI team. 

2. Comprehensive Open-Access Educator Pack: A new educator pack was launched on the SusQI website, providing essential resources for SusQI education delivery, including lesson plans, preparatory materials, workshop slide decks, group activities, facilitator guides, and assessment criteria guidance. 

A new open access educator pack was launched and made available for download on the SusQI website. This is a comprehensive educator pack including lesson plans, preparatory material, a 3hr workshop slide deck with speaker notes, group activities with accompanying facilitator guides and assessment criteria guidance. 

3. Positive Student Feedback and Publication: Multi-centre and multi-professional student feedback data was analysed and the results were published in Medical Teacher, May 2022. The findings were overwhelmingly positive and demonstrated that SusQI education had a transformational impact on students. Students developed a ‘sustainable’ lens, and SusQI education was proved to increase motivation to do Quality Improvement in itself and provided. Findings also showed that SusQI education inspired hope and it gave students‘ concrete ways to

make a difference’. 

4. The findings were disseminated at various conferences including Royal College of Nursing Education Conference, SHARE conference and AMEE conference. Conference Presentations: The SusQI Education project findings were disseminated at prominent conferences, including the Royal College of Nursing Education Conference, SHARE Conference, and AMEE Conference. 

5. Evaluation data was collected from the key educators who had been trained as SusQI Leads. Surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The data from the educator's perspective are currently being analysed with the aim to publish the results in 2023. Evaluation Data and Future Publication: Evaluation data was collected from trained SusQI Leads through surveys and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis is currently underway, with the aim of publishing the results in 2023. 

6. In August 2022, the SusQI Education Project moved into an intensive ‘spread’ phase; at the same time, grant funding of the project came to an end. The team developed a strategy for encouraging spread through an expansion of the Beacon Site Programme, open to both academic institutions and healthcare delivery organisations offering ‘Aspiring’ and ‘Established’ Beacon Site Recognition. Sites can receive recognition for embedding sustainability into education and practice upon submission of evidence to CSH (together with a small administration fee). In addition, CSH launched enhanced support packages to SusQI Leads through the new SusQI Academy, which provides training, mentoring, strategic input and networking. This is planned to increase impact of the programme and also to provide a steady income stream to support this strand of work. 

## **Education** 

In 2022, CSH continued to develop and expand its range of educational initiatives, training health professionals and organisations in sustainable healthcare and planetary health. 

Key achievements for the Education Programme in 2022 include: 

1. Online Short Courses: CSH added three new specialty courses, Sustainable Kidney Care, Sustainable Respiratory Care, and Sustainable Anaesthetics, bringing our suite of courses to 12.  This year our foundation courses were attended by 375 people and our technical courses (SusQI, Teaching SusQI and Carbon Footprinting) by 404 people. A total of 1630 clinicians, managers and researchers have now completed our courses since we first launched in June 2020 and return for ongoing mentoring in Sustainable Healthcare cafés. In 2022 participants booked onto to courses from 20 different countries. Feedback continues to be universally positive: 

_“Comprehensive, stimulating and thought-provoking “  - Dr Ahmad Tarakji, Consultant Nephrologist_ 

_“The pre-reading was brilliant. It was also great to meet like-minded people and make connections.” - Tessa Dadge, Neurophysiotherapist, Wales_ 

2.  Board-Level Workshops: In response to requests from Trusts and ICSs, CSH launched a bespoke workshop on net zero leadership for executives. Involving a brief pre-reading of materials and two-hour workshop tailored to the local context and Green Plan, it identifies strategies to inspire staff, accelerate and measure change and highlights what is unique about leadership for sustainability. A follow-up mentoring session is included. This year the team conducted 9 workshops for various Trusts and Health Boards, providing tailored workshops and followup mentoring and are beginning to work regionally with ICBs. The Board Level Training sessions have already been attended by 134 health system executives from the UK and Australia. Next year, it will be rolled out across three regions in England. 

3. Free online modules:  CSH and Health Education England Northeast Faculty of Sustainable Healthcare

partnered for a third year to create a free e-learning module for clinicians on Health Education England’s e- Learning for Healthcare platform. ‘Building a Net Zero NHS' (2020) has been attended by nearly 50,000 people, and was made mandatory training by one NHS Trust. ‘Sustainability in Quality Improvement' was launched in 2021, and we have been commissioned to develop ‘Sustainable Dentistry’ for 2023. 

4.  Placements in Sustainable Health: We continue to receive applications from clinicians and students who want to learn more about sustainable healthcare by volunteering or interning with us. This year, 43 volunteers and students worked with us on a variety of projects, establishing their expertise in sustainable healthcare and contributing 573 days, or the equivalent of 2 FTE staff to our work. 

5. Consultation and Collaboration: CSH worked with educational bodies to embed sustainability in undergraduate and postgraduate training across various healthcare professions. We are working with various educational bodies to embed sustainability into medicine, nursing and the allied health professions undergraduate and postgraduate training. This year includes an MSc module ‘Sustainable Healthcare’ for Trinity College Dublin, the Royal College of GPs Practice Advisor training, the Royal College of Nursing ‘Leading Sustainability in Health and Social Care’, and Florence Nightingale Foundation’s Green Healthcare Leadership Programme for the independent healthcare sector. 

## **Carbon Modelling** 

In 2022, the carbon modelling team provided crucial support for various CSH projects, including the Green Ward Competition, Sustainable Scholar and Fellowship Programme, and the Carbon Footprinting Course. The team also contributed to the development of Green Plans for three Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), assisting organisations in reaching their net-zero goals. 

## Key Carbon Modelling achievements in 2022 include: 

1. Supporting NHS Organisations: CSH partnered with South East London (SEL) ICS, Greener Practice and SeeSustainability to develop the SEL ICS Green Plan. This involved estimating the carbon footprint of SEL’s Integrated Care Board (ICB) and all of the ICS’s General Practices and also developing a standalone Green Plan for Primary Care. CSH also supported Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust in estimating its baseline carbon footprint. This will help the organisation in monitoring the impact of its carbon reduction initiatives and its progress towards net zero. 

2. Sustainability as part of Accreditation: CSH collaborated with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) to develop an environmental sustainability module for its Practice Standards Scheme. The module, with its 1 core standard requirement, 8 GP level requirements and 31 award requirements, will support veterinary practices to monitor and reduce their environmental impact. The new module was launched in August 2022. The assessment of the environmental sustainability Award will start in January, while Core and GP level assessment will start in June 2023. 

2. Discharge to Assess: CSH, in partnership with South Warwickshire healthcare providers, is concluding its evaluation of the impact of Covid-19 changes to the Discharge to Assess process on work patterns, travel, resource use, and clinical and social outcomes. In collaboration with a Master's student from Keele University, a focus group discussion was conducted to assess the social impact on staff. This report is scheduled for publication in 2023. 

3. Digital Transformation: CSH collaborated with Ufonia, an AI company specialising in automating routine telephone conversations, to evaluate the potential financial, environmental, and social impact of using automated conversations for head and neck cancer triage compared to traditional outpatient appointments. The project has moved into the pilot phase, testing the technology in a clinical setting.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **b. Fundraising activities/income generation** 

CSH has managed to secure new funding and to diversify our income streams to take advantage of emerging opportunities, achieving a booked income of £1,252,860. 

The six main sources of income for this period were: The Green Recovery Challenge Fund, Tree Call to Action Fund, South East London Integrated Care System, Health Education England, The Health Foundation and Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. 

Additional smaller pots of money were secured from: delegate fees for training workshops/ conferences, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Cardiff and the Vale Health Board, Acute Trusts, Association of Anaesthetists, Thea Pharmaceuticals, Ufonia and Tree Sponsorship for the NHS Forest. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

We are working towards achieving a sustainable reserve, in accordance with best practice, to cover three months of operational costs. This includes, where possible, building in a contingency to cover for costs or timings that may alter. In addition, we are aiming to build in elements of budget requests to cover our core costs where possible and refocusing our activities to raise core funding. In November 2022 our monthly operating costs were £92,000, so we have built up a reserve of 1.5 months during this year. 

## **c. Surplus** 

This financial year (Dec 2021 – Nov 2022) the charity had an income of £1,218,248 and expenditure of £1,106,118 resulting in an operating surplus for the year amounting to £112,130 which has gone to build our reserve.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **d. Principal funding** 

The bulk of CSH’s funding is in the form of restricted grants or contract funding which includes a contribution to the Charity’s overheads. 

CSH has increased and continues to increase its revenue sources from unrestricted funding through the expansion of its online CSH Sustainability School, delivering commissioned training and developing commissioned e learning modules, expanding the Green Ward Competition programme and offering consultancy in carbon modelling. 

CSH will continue to scrutinise new grant funding proposals to ensure that there is a proportionate contribution to the Charity’s overheads.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 24/11/2010 and is a registered charity number 1143189.The company changed its Memorandum and Articles to better reflect its work after consultation with NCVO and is currently constituted under a Memorandum of Association and Articles dated 15/07/2011. 

The principal object of the company is to provide: 

1. The promotion of health for the benefit of the public in any part of the world. 

2. The advancement of education for the benefit of the public in any part of the world by supporting the application and implementation of research findings to improve health and healthcare. 

3. The conservation, protection and enhancement of the physical and natural environment by the prudent use of natural resources for the public benefit. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. 

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** 

The Trustees meet once every quarter, either face to face or by phone conference (as permitted) lead by the chair.  The Director of CSH provides a draft agenda and financial update 2 weeks before the meetings, with opportunity for each Trustee to contribute suggested items for the agenda.  Meetings are also attended by at least one other employee of CSH – usually the financial lead.  Decisions are taken at the meeting unless it is deemed important to get input from anyone not present, in which case a clear set of options is circulated to all and responses are collated via email. 

## **d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees** 

A Skills Audit has been used, which enables the Trustees to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and helps to identify training needs for existing individuals and gaps, which might be filled by new Trustees. Trustees are also invited to attend staff away days, relevant training days and other events such as courses and conferences. 

Two of our Trustees (Mike Tomson and Gill Manning) have attended specific external Trustees training and have fed back to the whole group. 

## **e. Related party relationships** 

As set out in the application to the Charities Commission and accepted by them, Rachel Stancliffe is both a Trustee and the Director of CSH, receiving a regular salary as such.

## **f. Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. All major projects have a separate risk assessment and risk register. In addition, an overview system of assessing risks is being put in place with a traffic light marking (red, amber and green) to highlight projects at risk during any stage of their progress. The risk assessment for projects is reviewed quarterly by the management and the trustees, and the overall risk profile of the company is reviewed annually. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

## **Future developments** 

Working in the national arena continues to benefit the organisation as a whole, as well as growing CSH’s impact in this increasingly prominent field. 

For our green space programme, the activities planned for 2023 have continued to focus on larger scale more strategic projects. We will continue to prioritise: 

- In depth NHS Forest site development via expansion of the Nature Recovery Rangers Programme 

- including green prescribing in the new social movement of social prescribing 

- ensure that, as well as increasing numbers, we plant the right trees in the right places 

- work on the concept of green space as a healthcare asset 

- exploring the potential for green space to address health inequalities 

For our clinical work, we will build on the emerging opportunities to: 

- Enhance new and existing partnerships to secure Sustainability Fellowships and Scholarships 

- Continue to promote The Green Ward Competition and Green Specialty Challenges 

- Develop the SusQI Academy and Beacon Site Programme 

- Look at opportunities that come with the Greener NHS expansion, including supporting NHS Trusts to 

- develop Green Plans 

- continue to develop our training courses - offering more courses and extending the reach of existing ones 

- Build international relationships with key partners that can extend the reach of our work 

- Apply for funding for a Green Walking Programme which takes forward previous work. 

Our communications officers will continue to help us to develop strong messaging and to design powerful campaigns which will increase our reach and impact. We will review the need for more comms capacity during the next year. 

We are also planning to hire a Chief Operating Officer during 2023 to take on some of the management and HR tasks from the Director, to allow her to focus on strategic work including external partnerships. 

In addition to specific programme funding, core funding for CSH is being sought from several grant making foundations.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Engagement with employees and employment of the disabled (continued)** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Disclosure of information to auditors** 

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that: 

- so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and 

- that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information. 

## **Auditors** 

The auditors, Wellers, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated Trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees. 

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 November 2022 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 November 2022 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (CONTINUED)** 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. 

- the Trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, 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; or 

- the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (CONTINUED)** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE LIMITED (CONTINUED)** 

## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

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 an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Discussions were held with, and  enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity: 

Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation, health and safety and employment law. 

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. 

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report. 

## **Other matters** 

The prior year figures have not been subject to audit. An independent examination was undertaken on the prior year figures and some work was undertaken on opening balances to give additional audit comfort.

Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.5 Government grants** 

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred. 

## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £200 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following basis: 

- Computer equipment 33% Straight Line 

## **2.7 Debtors** 

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

## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.9 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. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

## **2.10 Financial instruments** 

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.11 Operating leases** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **2.12 Pensions** 

The company contributes into a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **2.13 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
