The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

CONSTITUTION
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 14 March 2013. It is also a registered charity and became registered with the Charity Commission on 21 June 2013.
The charity trades under the name Healthwatch Hillingdon.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our vision
Healthwatch Hillingdon aims to become the influential and effective voice of the public. We want to give adults, young people, children and communities a greater say in - and the power to challenge - how health and social care services are run in the Borough of Hillingdon.
Objectives and aims for the public benefit
The advancement of health and the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship by:
-
(a) providing information and advice to the general public about local health and social care services; (b) making the views and experiences of members of the general public known to health and social care providers;
-
(c) enabling local people to have a voice in the development, delivery and equality of access to local health and care services and facilities and;
-
(d) providing training and the development of skills for volunteers and the wider community in understanding, scrutinising, reviewing and monitoring local health and care services and facilities
In setting these objectives, the trustees have had due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, in accordance with their duty under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.
Achievements and performance
Healthwatch Hillingdon (HwH) is delighted to be able to report that we have continued to build on our excellent progress in helping to achieve real improvements in local health and social care services.
We can highlight several areas where the organisations that run our local health and care services have acted upon our representations and made improvements to services. Demonstrating that, as in previous years, we have ensured that the public and users of Hillingdon’s health and social care services have a strong voice and are influencing change. This year, we have continued with the previously adopted adaptations to our way of working. We have continued to ensure that the public has been able to contact us via phone, email, social media, and through video consultations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022
Achievements and performance (continued)
Over the course of the year, Healthwatch Hillingdon heard from 360 who shared their experiences of health and social care services with us, helping to raise awareness of issues and improve care. 42 people came to us for clear advice and information about topics such as mental health and COVID-19. We published 2 reports and 7 videos about the experiences of patients and improvements people would like to see to health and social care services. Our most popular report was regarding Online Consultations which highlighted the struggles people have on remote consultations with GPs. Teaming up with POhWER, H4All and Hillingdon Mind, we organised a Virtual Summer Wellbeing Day with an assortment of workshops including Mindfulness Meditation, Qi-Gong, Sound Therapy, and a session on growing your own garden herbs. We also supported over 35 residents in getting access to NHS dental appointments, with each patient given details of surgeries that had capacity according to our records. Finally, Young Healthwatch Hillingdon was commissioned by Public Health Hillingdon (PHH) to review sexual Health services and monitor the progress of recommendations made in our 2019 review.
This year, Healthwatch Hillingdon was contacted to be part of the procurement process for a new online consultation platform, for use in North West London Boroughs. Through the course of the work, it became readily apparent that patient engagement was crucial to a successful selection and rollout of online consultation. As a result of this, Healthwatch teams in North West London carried out a programme of engagement, including an online survey, and due to the limitations at the time, online focus groups to understand user experience and what patients wanted from these remote services. The findings were shared with the North West London Integrated Care System and NHS England, and used to inform the procurement process going forward. The engagement process gleaned 1670 responses from across North West London, with Hillingdon residents accounting for 16% of that total, and 3 online sessions with 8 total attendees were held to gain greater insight to the answers already received. The themes were reported to Online Consultation reference group at each meeting and were well received by those in attendance.
In June 2019, in partnership with Hillingdon Council’s Public Health service, Young Healthwatch Hillingdon conducted a mystery shopping exercise to review and evaluate the quality of sexual and reproductive health services for young people in Hillingdon. A full report of findings was presented to the Local Authority and service providers with recommendations for improvement. Given the changes to services as a result of this work, we were keen to carry out a follow up review to ensure sexual and reproductive health services are continuing to meet the needs and expectations of young people, and the standards defined in the 2017 ‘You’re Welcome’ quality framework. A mystery shopping exercise was carried out with 10 assessments carried out, focusing on ease of access, warm welcome, confidentiality and consent, safeguarding, clear referral pathways, and making every contact count. The findings were presented sexual health service providers and Public Health Hillingdon, along with our recommendations. Young Healthwatch Hillingdon plan to continue working with providers to develop excellent online and telephone services that meet the needs of all young people in Hillingdon, and positively promote these services with our peers, schools, colleges, and communities.
With the COVID 19 vaccine effort in full swing in the early months of 2021 22, Healthwatch Hillingdon, working in partnership with North West London Clinical Commissioning Group, set out to capture the experiences of those receiving the COVID-19 vaccines. Using the feedback gained through our Vaccine Confidence report, a set of 10 interview questions was created to address the concerns raised by patients and give reassurance where possible through lived experience. 7 videos were created, with interviews conducted in English, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Somali. The videos were published via the Healthwatch Hillingdon YouTube channel, and transcriptions were made available on the Healthwatch website.
We have had no staff changes this year, with the vacant posts of Signposting and Insight Coordinator and Community Engagement Officer for Children and Young People being filled in Q4 of the previous year – both roles being vital to the core functions of the organisation.

Achievements and performance (continued)
The 31st March 2022 was our 11th year as Healthwatch Hillingdon. We continue to build on our successes and to strengthen our partnerships in order to move our work forward.
Our work for 2021-22 is detailed in our Annual Report which was published on 28th July 2022 and can be downloaded at: https://healthwatchhillingdon.org.uk/report/2022-07-28/annual-report-2021-22
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Statement of Financial Activities is described on page 9.
Financial Support
Healthwatch Hillingdon (“the charity”) benefits from the generous support of the London Borough of Hillingdon (“The Borough”). During the year to 31 March 2022 the charity received £158,000 (2021: £158,000) of grant funding from the Borough. All funds are restricted for use in the following category:
- The advancement of health and the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship
The charity has only basic financial instruments, being debtors, cash, creditors and accruals.
Public Benefit Reporting
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Reserves policy
The charitable company is funded with an expectation to spend all public funds which are received. Current policy is therefore to only maintain a reserve which is equal the charitable company’s redundancy liability at the end of its current service contract. At 31 March 2022 the charity held reserves of £94,848 (2021 - £107,140), of which £638 (2021 - £638) were free reserves, £88,888 (2021 - £101,180) related to its restricted grant funds and £5,322 (2021 - £5,322) to the redundancy liability.
Risk management
The main risks for the organisation are:
-
The contract with the local authority is not extended when it expires on 31 March 2023
-
Government funding for local Healthwatch is reduced;
-
The Social Care Act 2012 is amended by future legislation and Local Healthwatch ceases to exist;
-
The tenancy agreement for 20 Chequers Square is not renewed, or the notice clause is enacted by the landlord.
To mitigate these risks:
-
Healthwatch Hillingdon holds regular contract monitoring meetings with the local authority;
-
Contract extension beyond March 2023 will be discussed with the local authority on a regular basis;
-
As with reduction in funding within 2017-2019 contract extension, budget forecasts and alternative business models will be approved by the Board prior to contract extension negotiations;
-
The business model from April 2019 will continue to be kept under review to match the negotiated funding;
-
Alternative funding streams will be sought in line with Healthwatch Hillingdon’s Funding Principles;
-
An alternative business model has been planned and approved by the Board in the event of the organisation being asked to leave 20 Chequers Square.

HEALTHWATCH HILLINGDON
Future Plans
-
Continue to build on Healthwatch Hillingdon’s involvement at Integrated Care Partnership level, and maintain the working relationships to ensure patient representation following the move from Clinical Commissioning Groups to Integrated Care System.
-
Revisit past service reviews and areas of focus, to assess the impact of COVID-19, and the progress of recommendations made by Healthwatch Hillingdon.
-
Understand and address inequalities within health and social care, with a particular focus of children and young people’s mental health.
With a changing health and social care landscape, it is vital that Healthwatch Hillingdon remain at the forefront of any changes to service provision, and keep the patients’ voice at the heart of care. With the adaptations made during the initial lockdown of 2020, continued development of digital outreach and engagement is imperative, with a safe return to face to face, in person services in order to ensure equity of access. Ongoing development of intelligence gathering and reporting, to remain a reliable source of patient feedback for providers and commissioners alike and scrutinising engagement carried out by health and social care systems locally to ensure fair and equal representation of our residents.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charitable company is controlled by its governing document, the memorandum and articles of association, adopted on 14 March 2013 and as amended by a special resolution registered at Companies House on 21 May 2013.
Since April 2019 a Trustee has been appointed to oversee the budget setting and monitoring processes. He meets regularly with the lead officer to ensure that the agreed systems are adhered to.
The service provided under the Healthwatch Hillingdon contract is governed by a funding agreement with London Borough of Hillingdon, with a commencement date of 1 April 2013.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The Chair and the Board of Trustees are selected for appointment on merit, through a fair and open recruitment process.
Board members act as Directors and Trustees of Healthwatch Hillingdon under the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. Their tenure is for an initial term of 3 years and members can be re-appointed to serve a further 3-year term, to a maximum of 9 years’ service.
Applications are invited from people that live or work in Hillingdon, who can demonstrate a good knowledge of the borough and/or experience in areas of health or social care. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

Trustee induction and training
A formal induction programme for new Trustees has been formulated that ensures all new Trustees receive various documents detailing the legal obligations of Trustees, alongside the Articles of Association, key policy and governance documents and details of the organisational structure.
Training is given to Trustees to enable them to carry out their role on the Board and additional training is provided where Trustees become involved in other Healthwatch activities. An assessment of training needs is carried out by the Chairman of Trustees during annual review meetings held individually with Trustees.
Remuneration of Key Management Personnel
The Board of Trustees, and the Managing Director (Company Secretary) are in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Trust on a day to day basis, and therefore, make up the key management personnel of the charity.
All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustees received remuneration. Details of Trustees’ expenses are disclosed in note 5 to the accounts. The pay of the Managing Director is reviewed annually. In view of the nature of the charity, the Trustees benchmark pay levels against other Healthwatch and voluntary sector organisations of a similar size within our region.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also directors of Healthwatch Hillingdon for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General Information
Healthwatch Hillingdon is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The registered and principal office is disclosed on page 1.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention.
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The functional and presentational currency of the charitable company is Sterling. This is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates.
Going concern
The charitable company is reliant on the grant it receives from the London Borough of Hillingdon, in order to continue its operational activities and charitable objectives. The trustees are confident that the grant funding will continue through to March 2025, subject to ratification by the London Borough of Hillingdon, and therefore consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.
The principal accounting policies for the charitable company are set out below:
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charitable company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, and are recognised in the period to which they relate.
Where income relating to future periods is received in advance, or income relating to past periods is received in arrears, such amounts are held as deferred or accrued income accordingly.
Grant income, whether “capital” or “revenue” grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions are attached to grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings.
Resources expended comprise:
| Costs of charitable | Charitable Activities as disclosed in the SOFA are as follows: |
|---|---|
| activities | expenditure on charitable activities and other resources expended. |
Page 11
HEALTHWATCH HILLINGDON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Resources expended (continued)
The costs of charitable activities include direct expenditure. The accounting treatments for these are as follows:
| Charitable activities | The charitable activities flow from the Charity’s vision and purpose, |
|---|---|
| which are highlighted in the Trustees’Report | |
| Other resources | Represents those items not falling into any other heading. |
| expended |
Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Fund accounting
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Cash Flow Statement
The charitable company is exempt from presenting a cash flow statement, as it qualifies as a small charity under the SORP.
Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount to settle the past obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their transaction price after allowing for any trade discounts due unless the arrangement constituted a financing transaction in which case the transaction is measured at present value of future payments discounted at the prevailing market rate of interest. Other financial liabilities are initially measured fair value net of their transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Operating leases and commitments
All amounts paid for goods and services under operating leases are recognised as expenditure over the life of the lease and are included within expenditure in the period to which they relate.

HEALTHWATCH HILLINGDON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022
10. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS (continued)
Healthwatch Programme
The funding received from London Borough of Hillingdon is restricted for use in delivering the Healthwatch service within the borough. The charity does not currently undertake any activities outside the scope of Healthwatch, but the funds have been ring-fenced as there is the possibility of undertaking other activities or providing ancillary services in the future.
Other projects
COVID-19 Advice, Guidance & Support – Healthwatch Hillingdon continues to support residents, providers and commissioners during the COVID-19 pandemic, building on the work carried out to assess Vaccine Confidence. This work will be focused on Hillingdon residents, working where possible with the North West London Clinical Commissioning Group, Hillingdon Health and Care Partners, and neighbouring Healthwatch organisations to ensure challenges posed by COVID-19 are met by the provision of health and social care in the borough. Work carried out on the Care Homes Project, will continue at an appropriate time, now focusing on the effect COVID-19 has had, with relation to the feedback and evidence collected pre-outbreak.
In 2020-21, the charity recognised a Covid support grant of £25,000 from London Borough of Hillingdon. In 2021-22, it was found that this should not have been recognised and the income has been reversed.
11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The trustees have set aside cover for the potential staff termination costs the charity would be obliged to pay in the event of loss or reduction of statutory or other funding of specific projects. The trustees have calculated that the potential obligation at 31 March 2022 would be £5,322 and this sum has been set aside within restricted funds to cover any future liability. There are no indications that any such loss of funding will arise in the foreseeable future.
12. CONTROLLING PARTY
The trustees consider that there is no controlling party.
13. MEMBERS LIABILITY
Each member of the charitable company undertakes to contribute £1 to the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up.
