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.

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. The Trustees are truly appreciative of their hard work and
acknowledge that the suttess of the League is largely due to them.

* Nailbourne

* 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.

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.

Invaluable new chalrs
These examin3tion chairs, used for positioning
patients dufing mammography screenings and
biopsies, are proving to be invaluable. They
improve the patient experience at a distressing
time and, crucially, enable patients to remain
completely still during procedures. Thanks to Ash,
Barham & Kingston and Nailbourne groups for
funding one chair. A second chair was purchased
from the Pfoceeds of Shops. raffles so thank you
to everyone who purchased tickets.

Medtronic Netve Monitor funded by the League of Friends.
This is used on patients, both adijlts and children,
undergoing major ear surgery, to prevent damage to nerves

second machine for the department and will greatly help
to reduce waiting lists.
Helping to manage post-operatlve paln
Thanks to this new ultrasound machine, more Day
Surgery patients have access lo regional
anaesthetic blocks which significantly improves the
management of post-operative pain. It has also
greatly helped in supporting the efficient
utilisation of theatre time within the Orthopaedic

Increased comforts
The Head and Neck Speech ond Language Therapy se￿iCe is very
grateful to have received funding from the League of Friends for a
treatment chair. Specialist procedures are now carried out with
increased comfort for patients, as they are able to sit in a
5UPPOrtive, comfortable chair.
The chair is adjustable so the p051tion can be optimised depending
upon the procedure being undertaken. This has the added
advantage of ensufing the comfort of clinicians when performing
specialist procedures and reduces the risk of discomfort and
injury. (photo.. Styrah Stevens & Leilo Williomsj
Chrlstmas Glfting
In keeping with our 3nnual tradition, patients in the Kent and
Canterbury Hospital over the festive period and children
attending appointments in the run up to Christmas were treated
to gifts, funded by generous donations. Assistant Shops,
ManaEer, Sam Heslop, said, "We hoped to spread a little festive
cheer at what can be a difficult time for patients and it was lovely
to receive such a warm welcome from staff as we delivered to
the wards."
Midas Rex
This high-speed drill has been extremely helpful for revision
joint and spinal surgery at the new Elective Orthopaedic
Centfe. The staff are hugely grateful that the League h35
generously funded this high value item. allowing the team
to build their equipment portfolio for some of the more
challenging case5.
Welcomed Wheelchair5
Over the years, we have purchased a large number of wheelchairs which
are always greatly appreciated. They allow patients to be more
independent on the wards and reduce the risk of pressure sores. An
increasing number of amputee patients benefit from the chairs and they
also enable therapists to assess patients, needs better. improving the
patlent experience.

Looking forward/our plans for the future ...
With the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic behind us, the League of Friends had a highly successful
2022. Our eight fundraising Broups enjoyed resuming meeting up artrd planning a huge variety of
events which had been curtailed during 2020121. It is pleasing that the local community has been
keen to support our fundraising efforts ranging from quiz nights, è sell-out fashion show. outside stalls
nd garden parties to name but a few.
During the yeaf. the League has been fortunate to receive a number of generous legacies from
grateful patients and families. The League continues to ensure that these often large donations are
used for projects in line with the donor families, wishes, where stipulated.
The Trustees regularly consider what emerging issues they may need to address to ensure the League
continues to meet its objective5. SUPPOrting the Kent and Canterbury Hospital and serving the
community.
The League will continue to endeavour to increase not only the total value of the grants given but to
ensure that the money is well spent, enhancing the care and treatment given to patients and
supporting the wellbeing of staff.
The three h05Pltal shops and a small kiosk form the business arm of our charity. The League continues
to review policies, procedures and governance to ensure best practice. With the return of many clinics
being held face-to-face, footfall in the hospital steadily increased throughout the year as did footfall
and takings in our shops. Most volunteers gradually returned and we have been delighted to welcome
a slow trickle of new volunteers who have joined our friendly team.
On the back of the highly successful major refurbishment of the main shop in 2020, the Outpatients
shop underwent a similar transformation in February 2022. The new modern and professional
environment was greeted with much enthusiasm by staff and customers alike and a similaf upgrade is
planned for the Fracture Clinic shop within the next year.
Our aims for the future intlude-
Continue to raise the profile of the League and fundraising in the community, working with the
eight city and local village groups to help them Succeed with their fundraising events
Work with the Trust to maximise patient and staff benefit by increasing the level of financial
SUPPOrt to the Trust
Maintain the highest standards of governance and management and adhere to legislation and
published best practice
Adhere to the Fundraising Code of Prartice and Fundraising ReEulator guidelines
Demonstrate value for money from the resource5 invested while monitoring risk, to ensure it is
maintained at a level tonsummate with Charity legislation and guidelines
Whatever the final configuration of the hospitals and services across East Kent in the future, the
K&C Hospital will continue to have an important role and the League will cor)tinue to support the
staff, patients and visitors to the K&C Hospital
Continue to endeavour to reduce the League's carbon footprint by emailing documents to
members wherever possible, saving on printing and postage expenditure

The League held net assets of £738k as at 31 December 20221£781.805 in 20211.
The net assets of the League were reduced by £44k from the balance held at the end of the previous
financial year.
Where our income came from
The League's main Soufce of income comes from charitable fundraising activities, profit from the
hospital shops, the generosity of the public who give donations as a thank you for the care they or
their friends and family have received or in memory of loved ones. and in bequests and legacies from
their estate5.
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.
With life returning to normal dufing 2022 donations were £30k up on last year's £19k whilst legacies,
where receipts are less predictable, were also higher at £196k compared to £122k in 2021. As the
Hospital was able to welcome more patients and visitors again. Shops, takings of £772k were up
substantially on the £528k taken in 2021. Other income of £37k was up by £llk, driven by the return
of the Summer Fair. These are very welcome increases after the difficult Covid-affected years. There
were no Government Grants received in 2022, whereas we received £55k in 2021. Insurance claims
received were down £13k at £3k for 2022.
Where we spent our funds
The League spends the funds received in accordance with chority law. its grant making policy and
respecting the wishes of donors. Grants to the Trust made up 33%12021.. 31%) of the total
expenditure increasing from E244k in 2021 to £355k in 2022.
Grants to the hospital increased on the previous year and the Trustees are hoping that this trend will
continue so that we will be able to spend our rese￿e5 accordingly.

Grants are approved to achieve a benefit to the public (staff and the patients of the K&C Hospital
together with visitors who use the services and facilities), which would not otherwise be possible
within the constraints of the Trust's capital budgets.
Trustees consider each application on merit and aim to support technological advances in treatments
by purchasing new and replacement medical equipment.
Projects also include new furniture. refurbishment of patient rooms and gardens, funding for staff
wellbeing and any other items which the Trustees deem an appropriate use of charitable funds.
The League also provides services to patients, staff and the public by way of our three hospital shops
and a kiosk, a newspaper and refreshments ward trolley and a mobile ward library trolley.

year, and all nominated member5 are entitled to vote at this meeting. In advance of the AGM,
members receive the formal reports and audited accounts. Aside from the AGM, the Central
Committee's main purpose is to decide on the allocation of grants for gifts to the Hospital
and individual local groups can pledge full or partial funding for specific gifts.
Groups
There are currently eight city and local village groups as follows:
Ash
Barham & Kingston
Canterbury South * Charth3m * Nailbourne
Rough Common, Harbledown & Blean
St Stephen's & St Dunstan's
Sturry
Our groups form the backbone of the League and meet regularly to plan and hold fundraising events.
At Central Committee meetings, held five times a year, the groijps agree to purchase specific items for
the h05Pltal, chosen from a list of requests from hospital wards and departments. The groups also
make up many of the volunteers required to run the on-site hospital shops.
Each League group has its own Chair, Secretary and Treasurer as well as other members to manage its
affairs and assist with fundraising. One of the charity's Trustees acts as Groups Liaison, attending their
meetings and reporting to the Trustees on any issues, concerns and activities of the groups.

Fundraising during 2022 gradually increased following curtailed activities in 2020121 due to the global
pandemic and significant sums were raised. Our groups have enjoyed resuming meeting up with
fellow members to plan a huge variety of events. With the NHS under continued pressure and facing
many challenges, the local community has come together and wholeheartedly supported our
fundraising efforts so that we can achieve our aim of supporting the hospital. Varied events included a
sell-out fashion show, a fun quiz night, coffee and cake mornirbgs, strawberry teas, plant sales, jam
making sold in the League shops . the list goes on. Most groups also enjoyed manning a stall at our
annual fair in August, after an absence of two years due to Covid restraints.
The groups prepare end of year financial statements which are then incorporated into the charity's
Annual Accounts. Half-yearly returns are made to the Treasurer to enable Gift Aid to be claimed from
HMRC.
Library Trolley Service
The Ward Library Trolley service, led by our long-serving and
loyal volunteer Mr M Wadey Ileft of the picture) was finally able
to restjme ward rounds in 2022 and was enthusiastically
welcomed back by patients and staff. Ward rounds are
currently undertaken twice a week with the aim of daily rounds
if more volunteers can be recruited. A good selection of
donated books and magazines are offered on loan, and even a
pair of reading Blasses, if required. Patients enjoy seeing a
friendly face and if well enough, passing the time of day with
our volunteers, even if they do not wish to take a book. We are
extremely grateful to our dedicated small team who provide
this highly valued service and are always looking for new
volunteers who can spare a couple of hours every week.
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'.
Review investment strategies to maximise opportunities
Review approval thresholds for expenditure from the League's funds
Review and approve the annual report and accounts prior to submission to Trustees
Review contracts relating to audit, banking and shop bookkeeping to ensure these remain
competitive, meet legal and Charity Commission compliance
Authorise expenditure where immediate action is required to maximise benefit to the League
Members are required to disclose all relevant interests at the start of meetings and withdraw from
decisions when a conflict of interest arises.
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.

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.

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.

| 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

| 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.

Welcome to the Annual Report and Accounts of the League of Friends ILOFI

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

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. See our website

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. The Trustees are truly appreciative of their hard work and
acknowledge that the suttess of the League is largely due to them.

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.

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.

Invaluable new chalrs
These examin3tion chairs, used for positioning
patients dufing mammography screenings and
biopsies, are proving to be invaluable. They
improve the patient experience at a distressing
time and, crucially, enable patients to remain
completely still during procedures. Thanks to Ash,
Barham & Kingston and Nailbourne groups for
funding one chair. A second chair was purchased
from the Pfoceeds of Shops. raffles so thank you
to everyone who purchased tickets.

to reduce waiting lists.
Helping to manage post-operatlve paln

Increased comforts
The Head and Neck Speech ond Language Therapy se￿iCe is very
grateful to have received funding from the League of Friends for a
treatment chair. Specialist procedures are now carried out with
increased comfort for patients, as they are able to sit in a
5UPPOrtive, comfortable chair.
The chair is adjustable so the p051tion can be optimised depending
upon the procedure being undertaken. This has the added
advantage of ensufing the comfort of clinicians when performing
specialist procedures and reduces the risk of discomfort and
injury. (photo.. Styrah Stevens & Leilo Williomsj
Chrlstmas Glfting

Canterbury Hospital over the festive period and children

cheer at what can be a difficult time for patients and it was lovely
to receive such a warm welcome from staff as we delivered to
the wards."

joint and spinal surgery at the new Elective Orthopaedic
Centfe. The staff are hugely grateful that the League h35
generously funded this high value item. allowing the team
to build their equipment portfolio for some of the more
challenging case5.

Looking forward/our plans for the future ...
With the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic behind us, the League of Friends had a highly successful
2022. Our eight fundraising Broups enjoyed resuming meeting up artrd planning a huge variety of
events which had been curtailed during 2020121. It is pleasing that the local community has been
keen to support our fundraising efforts ranging from quiz nights, è sell-out fashion show. outside stalls
nd garden parties to name but a few.
During the yeaf. the League has been fortunate to receive a number of generous legacies from
grateful patients and families. The League continues to ensure that these often large donations are
used for projects in line with the donor families, wishes, where stipulated.
The Trustees regularly consider what emerging issues they may need to address to ensure the League
continues to meet its objective5. SUPPOrting the Kent and Canterbury Hospital and serving the
community.
The League will continue to endeavour to increase not only the total value of the grants given but to
ensure that the money is well spent, enhancing the care and treatment given to patients and
supporting the wellbeing of staff.
The three h05Pltal shops and a small kiosk form the business arm of our charity. The League continues
to review policies, procedures and governance to ensure best practice. With the return of many clinics
being held face-to-face, footfall in the hospital steadily increased throughout the year as did footfall
and takings in our shops. Most volunteers gradually returned and we have been delighted to welcome
a slow trickle of new volunteers who have joined our friendly team.
On the back of the highly successful major refurbishment of the main shop in 2020, the Outpatients
shop underwent a similar transformation in February 2022. The new modern and professional
environment was greeted with much enthusiasm by staff and customers alike and a similaf upgrade is
planned for the Fracture Clinic shop within the next year.
Our aims for the future intlude-
Continue to raise the profile of the League and fundraising in the community, working with the
eight city and local village groups to help them Succeed with their fundraising events
Work with the Trust to maximise patient and staff benefit by increasing the level of financial
SUPPOrt to the Trust
Maintain the highest standards of governance and management and adhere to legislation and
published best practice
Adhere to the Fundraising Code of Prartice and Fundraising ReEulator guidelines
Demonstrate value for money from the resource5 invested while monitoring risk, to ensure it is
maintained at a level tonsummate with Charity legislation and guidelines
Whatever the final configuration of the hospitals and services across East Kent in the future, the
K&C Hospital will continue to have an important role and the League will cor)tinue to support the
staff, patients and visitors to the K&C Hospital
Continue to endeavour to reduce the League's carbon footprint by emailing documents to
members wherever possible, saving on printing and postage expenditure
Build on our social media platform, encoufaging members and the public to join us on Facebook
and Instagram to follow our good news stories and for charity updates

The League held net assets of £738k as at 31 December 20221£781.805 in 20211.
The net assets of the League were reduced by £44k from the balance held at the end of the previous
financial year.
Where our income came from
The League's main Soufce of income comes from charitable fundraising activities, profit from the
hospital shops, the generosity of the public who give donations as a thank you for the care they or
their friends and family have received or in memory of loved ones. and in bequests and legacies from
their estate5.
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.
With life returning to normal dufing 2022 donations were £30k up on last year's £19k whilst legacies,
where receipts are less predictable, were also higher at £196k compared to £122k in 2021. As the
Hospital was able to welcome more patients and visitors again. Shops, takings of £772k were up
substantially on the £528k taken in 2021. Other income of £37k was up by £llk, driven by the return
of the Summer Fair. These are very welcome increases after the difficult Covid-affected years. There
were no Government Grants received in 2022, whereas we received £55k in 2021. Insurance claims
received were down £13k at £3k for 2022.
Where we spent our funds
The League spends the funds received in accordance with chority law. its grant making policy and
respecting the wishes of donors. Grants to the Trust made up 33%12021.. 31%) of the total
expenditure increasing from E244k in 2021 to £355k in 2022.
Grants to the hospital increased on the previous year and the Trustees are hoping that this trend will
continue so that we will be able to spend our rese￿e5 accordingly.

Grants are approved to achieve a benefit to the public (staff and the patients of the K&C Hospital
together with visitors who use the services and facilities), which would not otherwise be possible
within the constraints of the Trust's capital budgets.
Trustees consider each application on merit and aim to support technological advances in treatments
by purchasing new and replacement medical equipment.
Projects also include new furniture. refurbishment of patient rooms and gardens, funding for staff
wellbeing and any other items which the Trustees deem an appropriate use of charitable funds.
The League also provides services to patients, staff and the public by way of our three hospital shops
and a kiosk, a newspaper and refreshments ward trolley and a mobile ward library trolley.

Fundraising during 2022 gradually increased following curtailed activities in 2020121 due to the global
pandemic and significant sums were raised. Our groups have enjoyed resuming meeting up with
fellow members to plan a huge variety of events. With the NHS under continued pressure and facing
many challenges, the local community has come together and wholeheartedly supported our
fundraising efforts so that we can achieve our aim of supporting the hospital. Varied events included a
sell-out fashion show, a fun quiz night, coffee and cake mornirbgs, strawberry teas, plant sales, jam
making sold in the League shops . the list goes on. Most groups also enjoyed manning a stall at our
annual fair in August, after an absence of two years due to Covid restraints.

Annual Accounts. Half-yearly returns are made to the Treasurer to enable Gift Aid to be claimed from
HMRC.
Library Trolley Service
The Ward Library Trolley service, led by our long-serving and
loyal volunteer Mr M Wadey Ileft of the picture) was finally able
to restjme ward rounds in 2022 and was enthusiastically
welcomed back by patients and staff. Ward rounds are
currently undertaken twice a week with the aim of daily rounds
if more volunteers can be recruited. A good selection of
donated books and magazines are offered on loan, and even a
pair of reading Blasses, if required. Patients enjoy seeing a
friendly face and if well enough, passing the time of day with
our volunteers, even if they do not wish to take a book. We are
extremely grateful to our dedicated small team who provide
this highly valued service and are always looking for new
volunteers who can spare a couple of hours every week.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

mitigate this risk by following the UK Governmenl's guidelines and adapting/developinE its own
