Our volunteers have commented that they thoroughly enjoy the social aspect of giving up their free time to support the League, working with long-established friends and having the opportunity of meeting new people. Many of our volunteers enjoy it so much that they have been with us for 20 years or more- some as many as 4(ltr years.

Gifts in Action We have bounced backl After a challenging two years due to the global pandemic which saw fundraising activities curtailed and Shops. trading significantly reduced, our Trustees are delighted that during a successful 2002 we were able to award 8fantS totalling £355k to enhance patient care at the Kent & Canterbury Hospital. Included in the above is the grants is the fantastic contribution of £39k made by our eight hard- working city and village groups to purchase items benefitting h05Pital patients, staff and visitors. Some of the items identified below show how our funds were used in achieving our objectives. Cell Salvage Machine for Day Surgery The League was pleased to fund this Cell Salvage machine costing £20K thanks to a generou5 legacy from a long-serving member. The main theatres team are delighted with the new machine which allows a patient's own blood cells to be recovered from blood collected when bleeding occurs during surgery. The patient's own blood cells are then given back to them immediately to significantly reduce the effect of blood loss. This Means that blood transfusion using blood donated by other people can be avoided. which is better for the patient. reducing the risk of infection and other complications of transfusion. The patient receives the best Possible blood during surgery- their own! The machine is used several times 3 week and patient5 With many conditions will benefit- haemophiliacs who tend to bleed excessively during standard surgery- patients undergoing aortic aneurysm repair when surgery is long and blood loss significant can have most of the blood lost during surgery reused. Jehovah's Witnesses, who are not permitted blood transfusions, can also benefit from the recycling of their own blood. Lockable bedside cablnets prove useful The League of Friends was very happy to fund 37 of these lockable bedside cabinets for Kent Ward, providing a secure and convenient place for patients to store their belongings. They also remove the need for staff to record and secure patient property, saving valuable time. Thanks to Canterbury South and Ash groups who contributed towards the cost.

Legacy income is unpredictable and can take time for the cash to be distributed to the League. Throughout the year our eight city and local village groups have found imaginative ways to raise funds and between them, achieved an income of £35k, which is very much appreciated by the Trustees. The dedication and fundraising successes of our hard-working groups hugely contributes towards the support and additional facilities the League is able to provide to the K&C Hospital, making a real difference to patient care.

Collectlbles Service- a bumper year Thanks to lockdown clear-outs and the continued generosity of the public, a steady flow of donations was received throughout the year. The auction of used stamps, stamp albums, first day covers and coins raised a fantastic E2.304- our best year to date. The service has gone from strength to strength thanks to a lonB-serving volunteer and his wife who diligently prepare mountains of stamps, plus other items, ready for auction.

Finance Sub Committee This Committee was established in 2016 as a separate committee to support the Trustees in Governance and Finance issues that require in-depth review and disCU5sion and where immediate decisions are required prior to the next Trustees, meeting. The Committee works under Terms of Reference set out in the Governance Policy, which was updated in November 2022. and reports directly to the Trustees at the next meeting, making recommendations and notifying them of any decisions and actions that may have been taken. Terms of Reference are reviewed annually and updated where required to meet the changing need5 of the League. Meetings are held at least once a year and on an ad-hoc and/or via remote communication where nece55ary to ensure the best outcome for the League. The members of the Finance Sub Committee are key Trustee Officers and meetings are chaired by the Hon. Treasurer or the Chairman where the Hon. Treasurer is unable to attend. Members are.. Chairman Vice Chairman Hon Treasurer Shops Trustee Additional officers where appropriate The Committee has the following specific duties and fLtnctions'.

Staff and Volunteers The League is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in fundraisin8 activities, service provision through the League shops and the Library Trolley SeNice together with the Stamps and Coins Service. The League has an estlmated 150 volunteers and members covering all aspects of the League's work. If each volunteer/member spends on average 3 hours per week volunteering, this equates to around 23,400 hours per year of voluntary work. If these volunteers were paid the national living wage of £9.50 per hour, then we estimate they give £222,300 worth of unpaid work per year to the hospital.

Policies and Objectives Grant making policy The League accepts applications from the Kent and Canterbury Hospital staff for equipment, f3cilitie5 and support for patient educational groups and projects as well as welfare requests in support of the NHS staff. All applications must have been processed through the rigorous East Kent Hospitals University NH5 Foundation Trust procedures to ensure that any request meets the required standards and criteria of the Trust piior to being submitled to the League for consideration. It is the responsibility of the Trust to ensure that the applications have been authori5ed under their Pfocedures and that any equipment purchased by the League funds will be supported and used at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital for a minimum of three years. Applications are reviewed by the Trustees to ascertain their suitability to meet the objectives of the League and to request any additional information from the Trust deemed necessary to enable them to make this decision. The applicants are requested to attend a League Central Committee meeting to present their case in SUPPOrt of their request. This provides an opportunity for the members of the League's fundraising groups to raise any issues and to decide if they wish to fully fund the equipment or to make a partial contribution. The Trustees will commit Central Funds to meet any balance not met by the Groups to enable the equipment to be purchased. Where the application is for medical equipment. the League requires a clinician to present the case for funding. A significant piece of equipment or project is deemed to be any single or joint purchase of over £15.000. Where the applicant or Trust representative cannot, or fails to attend. the application will be deferred until the next meeting. Grants agreed should be actioned within three months from approval. The League retains the right to cancel the grant if it has not been actioned. The Trust will purchase the equipment and invoice the League once the supplier has been paid, providing a valid copy of the supplierfs invoice in confirmation of purchase. The League will arrange publicity presentations with the receiving department to promote the work of the League. Risk statement Throughout the yeor the Trustees actively review the risks which the League faces and take all reasonable steps to reduce and apply procedures to mitigate those risks. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO- Annual Report 2022 | 22

Policies and Objectives Icontinuedl The main areas of risk have been identified within the following categories= Financial Governance Reputational The Trustees have mitigated these risks by.. Regular review of the financial procedures and systems Maintaining a diversified low-ri5k approach to cash holdings and investments Review of reseNes to ensure there are suffitient resources in the event of adverse conditions arising to meet all legal obliEations Maintaining up-to-date financial records, governance, policies and training documentation and practices Working with the Trust to understand the changes in strategic approach to delivery of services and the role of the League within these confines Registering with the Fundraising Regulator Committing to the Charity Commission's Fraud Prevention Pledge In the Trustees. opinion, all appropriate action has been taken to ensure the fisks are mitigated. Investment Powers The investment powers are stated in the charit¢s Constitution as follows= "the power to deposit or invest furbd5, employ a professional fund manaEer, and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000. Investment Objective In view of the volatility in the share markets the Trustees retain all surplus funds in various cash holdings which provide immediate and notice access to funds to meet current and ongoing grants to the hospital to achieve the League's objectives. Committed and non-committed funds are held in Charity Deposit accounts. It is important to maintain sufficient funds in instant access accounts to enable the League to meet all current and anticipated demand for grants lie, gifts/equipmentl to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. A significant sum of circa £97,5CM) has been maintained in the COIF Charities Deposit Fund, managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd, which pays interest. Withdrawals can be made without penalty by submitting an appropriately authori5ed withdrawal form. Remaining cash is currently held with a commercial bank. To minimise the risk as covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme Icurrently £85.0001 the Trustees agreed to maintain a rolling programme of short-term deposits held in higher interest deposit account5 to maximise returns on surplus cash which is not ordinarily required by the League within a 12-month period. Due to the increased activity in the funding of equipment, the Trustees agreed not to reinvest in a short-term deposit in 2022 as it 15 anticipated that the demand for cash will negate the need to invest further at this time. This will remain under review. Unless the donor has expressed a specific request regarding investment, the investment of funds is in accordance with the Trustees Investment Act 1961. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 23

Policies and Objectives Icontinuedl Reserves Policy Charity Reserves a5 defined under the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORPI FRS 102 2015 11.1.481 are those funds which become available to the charity to be spent at the Trustees, discretion in furtherance of the charity's objective5, excluding funds which are spent or committed or could only be realised through the disp05al of fixed assets. These are therefore classified as'free,. The Trustees recognise their obligation to ensure that income received by the League should be spent effectively and promptly in accordance with the charit¢s objectives. The Trustees have reviewed and revised their Reserves Policy and have determined that it is necessary to retain fe5erves over the longer term to: Reduce the impact of risks from the external environment should the levels of income reduce significantly Hold sufficient reserves to ensure the charity can cover its ongoing operational cost5 to process outstanding commitment5 Meet the cost of closure or transfer of the charivs affairs should the need ever arise The Trustee5 are currently revalidating the total reseNe that should be maintained. This reserve is required to cover any known commitments to suppliers and provide sufficient funds to pay staff in the event of the Charity having to cease trading and to finali5e its responsibilities. The reserve held in a separate COIF account is currently at £96,655 and any adjustment to the reserve required will be made in 2023. This reserve has been categorised as a restricted asset in the 2022 accounts. Definition of Funds Restricted Funds Funds which are subject to specific trusts, eg, term5 of Will. Endowment Funds Funds which are to be held as capital and only the income generated can be expended. Unrestricted Funds Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Tru5tee5. or designated in consideration of donors, wishes. Desi nated Funds Funds held for specific wards or services in consideration of approved grants {commitmentsl andlor donors, wishes. They do not form any binding Trust and can be transferred to Eeneral purpose funds at the discretion of the Trustees. At the 31 December 2022 the resetves held were identified as below: Restricted funds Unrestricted funds Less Fixed assets Less Stock £138K £600K £45K £17K Freely available reserves £538K The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 24

The level of reserves held at 31 December 2022 is higher than the minimum requirements set in the policy but this is partly because the cash from expected legacies has not yet been received. The accrued legacies total £181k which reduces the ffee cash reserves to f 357k. Although this is still higher than the policy minimum the Trustees are confident that the level of grants will fluctuate within the year and reSe￿e levels will reflect these changes. The Charity Manager is actively chasing departments to place orders when grant5 have been agreed and also the Trust to send invoices to settle outstandin8 grants. Ukraine The Trustees have considered the impact of the events in Ukraine with reference to how thi5 may disrupt their business model, strategy and operations. It is noted that the company has no dealings with either Ukraine or any nation or individual currently experiencing sanctions because of the event5 in Ukraine. There is a worldwide impact on the cost of particular goods, to include fuel, which in turn has increased the base costs of consumables in the charity. The Trustee5 have considered the effect and believe that this will not significantly impact the ability to trade or continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Issued to the Trustees of The League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital CIO

Opinion

We have audited the financial Statements of The League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital CIO (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow and notes to the financial statements, 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 (FRS) 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 charity’s affairs as at 31[st] December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;

• Have been properly prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 charity'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.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 27

Matters on which we are required to report by exception.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 26, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which 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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements.

We have been appointed as Auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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 auditor’s 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 objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.

Based on our understanding of the Charity and industry, and through discussion with the trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Statement of Recommended Practice, and pension legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements such as the valuation of legacies. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

• Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud, and review of the reports made by management and internal audit; and

• Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and

• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and

• Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and

The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 28

• Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities; and

• Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 The League ofFriends of th8 Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO is a charitable incorporated organisation, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 1155088. The principal orrice is at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, Elhelb8rt Road, Canterbury, Kent. CT13NG. The accounts are presented in pounds sterting and rounded to the nearest potsnd. Principal accounting policles 1.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. with items recoBnised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounls. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Ch3rities Act 2011 and have only departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fairf view. This departure has involved following the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice 2019 ISORPI applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 effective l January 2019. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO constitutes a public benefit entity a5 defined by FRS 102. The functional and presentation currency is Pounds Sterling. The financial statements are pie5ented to the nearest Pound. 1.2 Going toncern The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the League has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and are unaware of any material uncertainties facing the charity that could impact on this conclusion. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 1.3 Incoming Re50urces All incoming resources are recognised once the League has evidence of entitlement and it is probable (more likely than not) thot the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. It is not the charitys policy to defer income. All income is considered to be Unrestricted, which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the League unless there is a legally binding Trust, such as a Will or Deed. or when the League has r81sed funds for a publicly stated specific purpose. Those funds with such documents will be recognised as Restricted in the accounts until such time as they are either spent. 01 can no longer be used for the purpose for which they were given. In such cases the donors will be contacted to request a change of purpose or return of funds. or where they become too small a value to achieve the initial purpose, they will be transferred to general funds in furtherance of the League's objectives. The League of Friends of the Kent and C3nterbury H05Pltal CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 33

Designated lunrestrictedl funds comprise funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. These purposes are. in the main, for the provision of gifts to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. The Trustees may return these funds for general purposes at their discretion. Where there are terms or conditions attached to the incoming resource (particularly grants) then these must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement will not be evidenced, or where there is uncertainty that the conditions can be met, then the income is not recognised in the year.11 is not the charivs policy to defer income even Whe￿ a pre-condition for use is imposed. Legacies are accounted for as incoming resource either on receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable. Receipt is probable when.. Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estatelsl that probate has been 8ranted The executors have established that there are sufFicient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and All conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charitws control Where the amount of the legacy can be reliably estimated Legacies which are subject to a life interest party are not recognised Where legaties have been notified to the League, or the League is aware of the granting of probate, but that a reliable estimate cannot be ideritified, then the legacy is shown as a corbtingent asset and disclosed if material. Fundraising income is shown gross. Income from the shops operated by the League is accounted for when earned. Investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is received. Insurance income is recognised upon receipt of confirmation of payout. Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or10sses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. Gifts in kind are valued at a reasonable estimate of their value to the Charity. Gifts donated for resale are included as income either when they are sold or at the estimate(I resale value after deduction of the cost to sell the Eoods. 1.4 Intangible Income The value of services rendered by volunteers is not incorporated in these accounts, but it is recognised that the intangible value of volunteers far outstrips any financial worth that may be attributed to their service. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 34

1.5 Resources expended Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or tonstructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation call be measured reliably. All expenditure 15 accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the League. These are allocated on a time Spent basis. Governance cost5 are those incurred in connection with administration of the League and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. The cost of charitable activities comprises both the shops, expenditure and the value of gift5 made to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. Such gifts are recogni5ed when the League has committed itself to the expenditure and this has been communicated to the hospital. The League does not make grants to individuals. All grants are made to the Trust to provide for the care of NHS patients ir) furtherance of its Charitable aims. Liabilities are recognised as and when an obligation arises to transfer economic benefits as a result of past transactions or events. Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 1.6 Tangible Fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful life on the following basis.. Computers- 33% Straight line Shop Improvements- 5% Reducing balance Fittings & equipment- 20% Reducing balance- all areas 1.7 stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 1.8 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Pre-payments are valued at the amount pre-paid net of any trade discounts due. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO- Annual Report 2022 | 35

1.9 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 simllar account. 1.10 Cred5tors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the League has a present obligation resulting from past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Grant commitments are only recognised when the League has committed itself to the expenditure and this has been communicated to the hospital. 1.11 Judgement in applying accountlng policies and key sources of estlmatlon uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that can affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities and the results for the year. The nature of estimation is such that actual outcomes could differ significantly from those estimates. Estimates for legacies have been made based on the information provided by the 501icitors of the estates. The trustees believe this is the best Soufce of information to make the estimate of value, but accept that there may be changes from expectation. 1.12 CharltyTax The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income tax purpose5. Accordingly, the charity is Potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 10 Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that stjch income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Happily, the last twelve months have seen a steady recovery from the effeds of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our three hospital shops have feturned to normal activity as visitors were again 311owed in the hospltal and staff, patients and visitors could fully enjoy the service provided by the shops and ward trolley. The shop staff and volunteers have worked hard together so that by the end of the year. the shops, takings reached an all-time high,. every penny of profit Is used to buy essential equipment and improvements for patients, staff and vlsitors to the wards and departments of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. Some of these gifts are highlighted later in this report. Dr Catriona Irvine Chairman It was good to See our main fundraising event, the Joint Hospital and League of Friends Summer Fair, return in August 2022 after two years of absence. The day was a great success and very much enjoyed by hospital staff. the public and LOF volunteers, raising around £IOK for the hospital. Throughout the year, many other fundraising events were put on by the LOF volunteers from our eight fundraising groups in Canterbury and the surroundinE villages. During the year around £355k worth of gifts were pledged to the hospital to benefit patients, staff, relatives and visitors. As Chairman, I would like to thank all the group members who continue to develop new ways to involve the local community in raising funds for the LOF. A150, the staff and volunteers of the LOF shops and those who run the ward trolley service who have worked so hard to give excellent service for the hospital and to raise funds for gifts. Thanks go to our library trolley volunteers who are welcomed by patients and staff alike on their weekly ward rounds and to our Stamps & Coins volunteer who diligently raises money for the LOF through auctions. I would also like to thank my fellow Trustees, who make a great team ensuring that our charity 15 run with good governance. prudent management and safe practice. Thanks to the support of every single person, the LOF continues to be able to make a real difference. enhancing patient tare. We are looking forward to a wonderful telebratory year starting in April 2023. Seventy years ago, in April 1953, the League of Friends was founded and ha5 actively supported the Kent and Canterbury Hospital continuously since then. donating more than £8 million over the years. In our Platinum Jubilee Year we will be holding celebratory events ond are proposing to fund an exceptional Jubilee gift for the hospital which will be featured next year. We are alway5 happy to welcome new members and volunteers to help us in this very worthwhile work supporting our hospltal.

Catriona The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022

Charity Objectives The key objective of the charity Ithe League) is to provide services and funds to support the purchase of equipment and facilities which are beyond the scope of government fLtndinE to relieve sickness, protect good health and enhance the care and treatment of patients and visitors accessing NHS services at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, which is a constituent part of the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust Ithe Trust). The League achieves its objectives by means of operating hospital shops which primarily sell goods to patients. visitors and hospital staff, by fundraisinE activities and the provision of services. These services include the provision of a mobile library service to in-patients and a shop trolley to the ward5. 35 well as fundraising activitie5 in the community. In considering the objectives, the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17151 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees are confident that the activitie5 which they undertake have a clear public benefit. The Trust provides clinical services within the scope of their NHS requifements and the League works hard to support and enhance those services. Grants Applications are received from the Kent and Canterbury Hospital staff for equipment and facilities for use in the hospital. Applications are examined against criteria laid down by the Trust and the League Trustees. Grants are approved at the Trustee Board meetings and supported by both Central and Group funds. The aim of the grants is to deliver projects and purchase equipment that make a difference to all who use the services at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital by: Enhancing the quality of patient cère ImprovinE the environment for patients and visitors Supporting NHS staff welfare in their work environment Providing financial funding for projects that SUPPOrt patient education and well-being The League depends almost entirely on unpaid volunteers for fundraising and for staffing the services which we provide for the hospital.

Focus on Fundraising Ourfundraising groups Ash Barham & Klngston Canterbury South * Chartham * Nailbourne St Stephen's & St Dunstan's Rough Common. Harbledown & Blean * Sturry Our dedicated eight city and village groups are instrumental in raising fLFnds for the League and form the backbone of the charity. With the worst of Covid and lockdowns behind us, our group members have enjoyed bein8 able to meet up again and throughout the year have organised a huge variety of events and activities such as: coffee mornings, soup lunches, bingo sessions, bfing and buy events. quiz games. letter-drops. sponsored walks and a well-attended, profitable fashion show. Group members, as well as individual volunteers, also give their time to help out in our three hospital shops. These provide a valuable seNice for patients, staff and visitor5 by selling food, snacks, drinks, newspapers. magazines, cards and many other useful items. The shops, trolley undertakes daily ward rounds which is particularly useful for those patients too ill to leave their bed. The shops are becoming ever more popular and throughout the year, footfall has steadily increased 35 more clinic5 are back up and running following the easing of Covid restrictions. The health benefits of volunteering are well documented. Our volunteers have commented that they thoroughly enjoy the social aspect of giving up their free time to support the League, working with long-established friends and having the opportunity of meeting new people. Many of our volunteers enjoy it so much that they have been with us for 20 years or more- some as many as 4(ltr years. The League turns fundraising profits into greatly appreciated pieces of equipment and facilities which benefit so many patient5, their visitors and our highly valued NHS staff. Equipment can range from small items such as chairs and overbed tables, to expensive high-tech medical machines such as a specialised ultrasound system and an MRI Capsule. Sometimes the smallest items can make the biEEest difference which is very rewarding for ovr group members who selflessly fundraise throughout the year. To everyone who has given up their free time to organise fundraising events, worked in our hospltal shops and volunteered for our Library Trolley and Stamps & Coins Setvices, your efforts have not gone unnoticed and we Say a huge thank you for your support and for contributing towards the continuing succe55 of our charitv. If you would like to join our successful charity and feel part of a valued team supporting the K&C Hospilal, please email Lynne at [e-mail] or telephone [phone] for more information.

Fundraising Successes After a challenging couple of years which saw the curtailment of much of our fundraising, we are delighted to report that during 2022, the League was able to resume its varied activities to great effect. Our Trustees are humbled by the dedication and commitment of our local village and citv Broups who continue to devise new and innovative ways of raising money. whilst promoting friendship within the League. This report can only cover a few of the stories which have inspired people to give up their precious time to help raise funds. To you all. we say thank you. Ash group continues to hold monthly coffee mornings at the local Village Hall and in November raised a record amount of£539 from the well- attended event. A regular Church stall also boosts group funds. Chartham Eroup regularly provides refreshments for the local community coffee mornings.

Included in the above is the grants is the fantastic contribution of £39k made by our eight hard- working city and village groups to purchase items benefitting h05Pital patients, staff and visitors. Some of the items identified below show how our funds were used in achieving our objectives. Cell Salvage Machine for Day Surgery The League was pleased to fund this Cell Salvage machine costing £20K thanks to a generou5 legacy from a long-serving member. The main theatres team are delighted with the new machine which allows a patient's own blood cells to be recovered from blood collected when bleeding occurs during surgery. The patient's own blood cells are then given back to them immediately to significantly reduce the effect of blood loss. This Means that blood transfusion using blood donated by other people can be avoided. which is better for the patient. reducing the risk of infection and other complications of transfusion. The patient receives the best Possible blood during surgery- their own! The machine is used several times 3 week and patient5 With many conditions will benefit- haemophiliacs who tend to bleed excessively during standard surgery- patients undergoing aortic aneurysm repair when surgery is long and blood loss significant can have most of the blood lost during surgery reused. Jehovah's Witnesses, who are not permitted blood transfusions, can also benefit from the recycling of their own blood. Lockable bedside cablnets prove useful The League of Friends was very happy to fund 37 of these lockable bedside cabinets for Kent Ward, providing a secure and convenient place for patients to store their belongings. They also remove the need for staff to record and secure patient property, saving valuable time. Thanks to Canterbury South and Ash groups who contributed towards the cost.

Throughout the year our eight city and local village groups have found imaginative ways to raise funds and between them, achieved an income of £35k, which is very much appreciated by the Trustees. The dedication and fundraising successes of our hard-working groups hugely contributes towards the support and additional facilities the League is able to provide to the K&C Hospital, making a real difference to patient care.

All applications must have been processed through the rigorous East Kent Hospitals University NH5 Foundation Trust procedures to ensure that any request meets the required standards and criteria of the Trust piior to being submitled to the League for consideration. It is the responsibility of the Trust to ensure that the applications have been authori5ed under their Pfocedures and that any equipment purchased by the League funds will be supported and used at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital for a minimum of three years. Applications are reviewed by the Trustees to ascertain their suitability to meet the objectives of the League and to request any additional information from the Trust deemed necessary to enable them to make this decision. The applicants are requested to attend a League Central Committee meeting to present their case in SUPPOrt of their request. This provides an opportunity for the members of the League's fundraising groups to raise any issues and to decide if they wish to fully fund the equipment or to make a partial contribution. The Trustees will commit Central Funds to meet any balance not met by the Groups to enable the equipment to be purchased. Where the application is for medical equipment. the League requires a clinician to present the case for funding. A significant piece of equipment or project is deemed to be any single or joint purchase of over £15.000. Where the applicant or Trust representative cannot, or fails to attend. the application will be deferred until the next meeting. Grants agreed should be actioned within three months from approval. The League retains the right to cancel the grant if it has not been actioned.

The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO- Annual Report 2022 | 22

Policies and Objectives Icontinuedl The main areas of risk have been identified within the following categories= Financial Governance Reputational The Trustees have mitigated these risks by.. Regular review of the financial procedures and systems Maintaining a diversified low-ri5k approach to cash holdings and investments Review of reseNes to ensure there are suffitient resources in the event of adverse conditions arising to meet all legal obliEations Maintaining up-to-date financial records, governance, policies and training documentation and practices Working with the Trust to understand the changes in strategic approach to delivery of services and the role of the League within these confines Registering with the Fundraising Regulator Committing to the Charity Commission's Fraud Prevention Pledge In the Trustees. opinion, all appropriate action has been taken to ensure the fisks are mitigated. Investment Powers The investment powers are stated in the charit¢s Constitution as follows= "the power to deposit or invest furbd5, employ a professional fund manaEer, and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000. Investment Objective In view of the volatility in the share markets the Trustees retain all surplus funds in various cash holdings which provide immediate and notice access to funds to meet current and ongoing grants to the hospital to achieve the League's objectives. Committed and non-committed funds are held in Charity Deposit accounts. It is important to maintain sufficient funds in instant access accounts to enable the League to meet all current and anticipated demand for grants lie, gifts/equipmentl to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. A significant sum of circa £97,5CM) has been maintained in the COIF Charities Deposit Fund, managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd, which pays interest. Withdrawals can be made without penalty by submitting an appropriately authori5ed withdrawal form. Remaining cash is currently held with a commercial bank. To minimise the risk as covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme Icurrently £85.0001 the Trustees agreed to maintain a rolling programme of short-term deposits held in higher interest deposit account5 to maximise returns on surplus cash which is not ordinarily required by the League within a 12-month period. Due to the increased activity in the funding of equipment, the Trustees agreed not to reinvest in a short-term deposit in 2022 as it 15 anticipated that the demand for cash will negate the need to invest further at this time. This will remain under review. Unless the donor has expressed a specific request regarding investment, the investment of funds is in accordance with the Trustees Investment Act 1961.

These are therefore classified as'free,. The Trustees recognise their obligation to ensure that income received by the League should be spent effectively and promptly in accordance with the charit¢s objectives. The Trustees have reviewed and revised their Reserves Policy and have determined that it is necessary to retain fe5erves over the longer term to: Reduce the impact of risks from the external environment should the levels of income reduce significantly Hold sufficient reserves to ensure the charity can cover its ongoing operational cost5 to process outstanding commitment5 Meet the cost of closure or transfer of the charivs affairs should the need ever arise The Trustee5 are currently revalidating the total reseNe that should be maintained. This reserve is required to cover any known commitments to suppliers and provide sufficient funds to pay staff in the event of the Charity having to cease trading and to finali5e its responsibilities. The reserve held in a separate COIF account is currently at £96,655 and any adjustment to the reserve required will be made in 2023. This reserve has been categorised as a restricted asset in the 2022 accounts. Definition of Funds Restricted Funds Funds which are subject to specific trusts, eg, term5 of Will. Endowment Funds Funds which are to be held as capital and only the income generated can be expended. Unrestricted Funds Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Tru5tee5. or designated in consideration of donors, wishes. Desi nated Funds Funds held for specific wards or services in consideration of approved grants {commitmentsl andlor donors, wishes. They do not form any binding Trust and can be transferred to Eeneral purpose funds at the discretion of the Trustees. At the 31 December 2022 the resetves held were identified as below: Restricted funds Unrestricted funds Less Fixed assets Less Stock £138K £600K £45K £17K Freely available reserves £538K The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 24

The level of reserves held at 31 December 2022 is higher than the minimum requirements set in the policy but this is partly because the cash from expected legacies has not yet been received. The accrued legacies total £181k which reduces the ffee cash reserves to f 357k. Although this is still higher than the policy minimum the Trustees are confident that the level of grants will fluctuate within the year and reSe￿e levels will reflect these changes. The Charity Manager is actively chasing departments to place orders when grant5 have been agreed and also the Trust to send invoices to settle outstandin8 grants. Ukraine The Trustees have considered the impact of the events in Ukraine with reference to how thi5 may disrupt their business model, strategy and operations. It is noted that the company has no dealings with either Ukraine or any nation or individual currently experiencing sanctions because of the event5 in Ukraine. There is a worldwide impact on the cost of particular goods, to include fuel, which in turn has increased the base costs of consumables in the charity. The Trustee5 have considered the effect and believe that this will not significantly impact the ability to trade or continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Issued to the Trustees of The League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital CIO

Opinion

We have audited the financial Statements of The League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital CIO (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow and notes to the financial statements, 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 (FRS) 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 charity’s affairs as at 31[st] December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;

• Have been properly prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 charity'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.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 27

Matters on which we are required to report by exception.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 26, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which 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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements.

We have been appointed as Auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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 auditor’s 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 objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.

Based on our understanding of the Charity and industry, and through discussion with the trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Statement of Recommended Practice, and pension legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements such as the valuation of legacies. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

• Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud, and review of the reports made by management and internal audit; and

• Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and

• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and

• Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and

The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 28

• Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities; and

• Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 The League ofFriends of th8 Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO is a charitable incorporated organisation, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 1155088. The principal orrice is at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, Elhelb8rt Road, Canterbury, Kent. CT13NG. The accounts are presented in pounds sterting and rounded to the nearest potsnd. Principal accounting policles 1.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. with items recoBnised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounls. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Ch3rities Act 2011 and have only departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fairf view. This departure has involved following the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice 2019 ISORPI applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 effective l January 2019. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO constitutes a public benefit entity a5 defined by FRS 102. The functional and presentation currency is Pounds Sterling. The financial statements are pie5ented to the nearest Pound. 1.2 Going toncern The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the League has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and are unaware of any material uncertainties facing the charity that could impact on this conclusion. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 1.3 Incoming Re50urces All incoming resources are recognised once the League has evidence of entitlement and it is probable (more likely than not) thot the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. It is not the charitys policy to defer income. All income is considered to be Unrestricted, which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the League unless there is a legally binding Trust, such as a Will or Deed. or when the League has r81sed funds for a publicly stated specific purpose. Those funds with such documents will be recognised as Restricted in the accounts until such time as they are either spent. 01 can no longer be used for the purpose for which they were given. In such cases the donors will be contacted to request a change of purpose or return of funds. or where they become too small a value to achieve the initial purpose, they will be transferred to general funds in furtherance of the League's objectives. The League of Friends of the Kent and C3nterbury H05Pltal CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 33

Designated lunrestrictedl funds comprise funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. These purposes are. in the main, for the provision of gifts to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. The Trustees may return these funds for general purposes at their discretion. Where there are terms or conditions attached to the incoming resource (particularly grants) then these must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement will not be evidenced, or where there is uncertainty that the conditions can be met, then the income is not recognised in the year.11 is not the charivs policy to defer income even Whe￿ a pre-condition for use is imposed. Legacies are accounted for as incoming resource either on receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable. Receipt is probable when.. Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estatelsl that probate has been 8ranted The executors have established that there are sufFicient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and All conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charitws control Where the amount of the legacy can be reliably estimated Legacies which are subject to a life interest party are not recognised Where legaties have been notified to the League, or the League is aware of the granting of probate, but that a reliable estimate cannot be ideritified, then the legacy is shown as a corbtingent asset and disclosed if material. Fundraising income is shown gross. Income from the shops operated by the League is accounted for when earned. Investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is received. Insurance income is recognised upon receipt of confirmation of payout. Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or10sses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. Gifts in kind are valued at a reasonable estimate of their value to the Charity. Gifts donated for resale are included as income either when they are sold or at the estimate(I resale value after deduction of the cost to sell the Eoods. 1.4 Intangible Income The value of services rendered by volunteers is not incorporated in these accounts, but it is recognised that the intangible value of volunteers far outstrips any financial worth that may be attributed to their service. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2022 | 34

1.5 Resources expended Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or tonstructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation call be measured reliably. All expenditure 15 accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the League. These are allocated on a time Spent basis. Governance cost5 are those incurred in connection with administration of the League and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. The cost of charitable activities comprises both the shops, expenditure and the value of gift5 made to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. Such gifts are recogni5ed when the League has committed itself to the expenditure and this has been communicated to the hospital. The League does not make grants to individuals. All grants are made to the Trust to provide for the care of NHS patients ir) furtherance of its Charitable aims. Liabilities are recognised as and when an obligation arises to transfer economic benefits as a result of past transactions or events. Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 1.6 Tangible Fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful life on the following basis.. Computers- 33% Straight line Shop Improvements- 5% Reducing balance Fittings & equipment- 20% Reducing balance- all areas 1.7 stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 1.8 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Pre-payments are valued at the amount pre-paid net of any trade discounts due. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO- Annual Report 2022 | 35

1.9 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 simllar account. 1.10 Cred5tors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the League has a present obligation resulting from past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Grant commitments are only recognised when the League has committed itself to the expenditure and this has been communicated to the hospital. 1.11 Judgement in applying accountlng policies and key sources of estlmatlon uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that can affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities and the results for the year. The nature of estimation is such that actual outcomes could differ significantly from those estimates. Estimates for legacies have been made based on the information provided by the 501icitors of the estates. The trustees believe this is the best Soufce of information to make the estimate of value, but accept that there may be changes from expectation. 1.12 CharltyTax The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income tax purpose5. Accordingly, the charity is Potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 10 Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that stjch income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
