Louise Coleman Chairn]an In our Jubilee year, we wanted to make a significant donation lo the hospital and after discussion with hospital managers, we funded the development of the Surgical Admi5sion5 Lounge for the vascular leam.

The highly valued hospital shops hav¢ done particularly well this year, achieving £ I m in 5ale5 and net profits of £150k, to be ploughed back into the hospital. The staff have ivorked extremely hard providing an excellent service to staff and vi5itor5 and the shops are always busy.

Throughout the year, many other fundraising events %vere pul on by volunteers from our cighi fundraising groups in Canterbury and the surrounding villages. During the year around £244k ivorth of gifts was pledged io the hospital and some of these are featured later in this report. We also appointed a Charity Fundraiser in May who has already pul on several successful events, together with a Social Media Specialist, helping to promote our charity. As Chairman, l ivould like lo thank all Ihe group members who continue lo hold events and involve the local community in raising funds for the League.

1953-2023 We celebrated our 70 anniversary ihis year and wanted lo fund a large project to commemorate this special occasion. Several ideas were pul fonvard but we decided to support ihe refurbishmenl of an area behind Minor Injuries to creale a Surgical Admissions Lounge (SAL).

The facililies allow patients to prepare for their operation in a quiet and restful All pre-op procedures are completed here prior to going to theatre. If patients have minor day surgery ihey return to the lounge post-op. For more major surgery, patients go lo a main ward. The new SAL provides an efficient and streamlined paihway, allowing more patients to be Ireated and a beller working environmeni for ihe clinical staff. When our Presidenl, the Lord Mayor Cllr Jean Butcher, officially opened the Surgical Admissions Lounge, it had already been in operation for several weeks and nursing staff and doctors all agreed ihat tt was a wonderful modern environment for patients and provided a more relaxing area for them prior and post-surgery. Allyson Wren, Clinical Strategic Development Manager for the Trust, said, "The kind and generous donation by the League of Friends has transformed a clinical area into one that is bright, spacious and comfortable. The SAL will improve the overall patient experience and lead io less delays in going to theatre. On behalf of patients and staff, I'd like to convey our very grdteful thanks."

Reserves Policy Charity Reserves as defined under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) FRS 102 2015 (1.1.48) are those funds which become available to the charity to be spent at the Trustees, discretion in furtherance of ihe charity's objectives, excluding funds which are spent or committed or could only be realised through the disposal of fixed assets. These are therefore classifi¢d as 'fr¢e'. The Trustees recognise their obligation to ensure that income received by the League should be spent effectively and prompiiy in accordance with the charity's objectives. The Trustees have revi¢wed and revised their Reserves Policy and have detennined that it is necessary to retain reserves over the longer tenn to.. Reduce the impact of risks from the exlemal environment should the levels of income reduce significantly Hold sufficient reserves lo ensure the charity can cover its ongoing operational costs to process outstanding commitments Meet the cosl of closure or transfer of the charity's affairs should the need ever arise.

"rhe reserve held in a separale COIF deposit account ai ihe end of December is al £102k. This reserve has been calegorised as a restricted assel in the 2023 accounts. The Tnislees hrive recently revalidated the total reserve required and, accordingly this will be increased to £140k in 2024 Definition of Funds Restricled Funds Fund5 which are subject lo specific Irusls, eg. tem]s of Will.

The level of reserves held at 31 December 2023 is higher ihan the minimum requirements set in the policy but ihis is partly because the cash from expected legacies has not yet been received. The accrued non-reslricted legacies total £40k which reduces ih¢ fr¢¢ cash r¢serves to £443k. Although ihis is still higher than the policy minimum the Truslees are confidenl Ihat the level of grants will fluctuate within the year and reserve levels will reflect these changes.

The principal office is at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, Ethelbert Road, Canterbury, Kent. CTI 3NG. The accounts are pr8s8nted in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound. Principal accounting policies 1.1 Basis of preparatlOD The financial slatemenls have been prepared under the historic cosl convention, wilh items recognised at cost or transaclion valu¢ unless otherwise slated in the relevant notes to ihese accounts. The financial statemenls have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 201 l and have only departed from the Charilies (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only lo the extent required lo provide a 'trLie and fair, vielv. This departure has evolved following the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice 2019 {SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective l January 2019. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO constitules a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The ￿1]ctIOnal and presentation currency is Pounds Sterling. The financial statements are presented lo the nearest l)ound. 1.2 Going concern The Trustees liave a reasonable expectation that Ihe League has adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and are unaivare ofany material uncertainlies facing the charity that could impact on this conclusion. For this reason, they continue to adopt Ihe going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 1.3 Incoming Resources All incoming resources are recognised once ihe League has evidence of enliilcment and it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufTici¢nt reliability. It is not the charity's policy to defer income. All income is considered to be Unrestricted. which are available for use at the discrelion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general obj¢eliv¢s of the League unless there is a legally binding Trust, such as a Will or Deed, or when the League has raised funds for a publicly slated specific purpose. Those funds with such documents will be recognised as Restricted in the accounts until such time a5 they are either spent. or 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 fund5, or where they become too small a value to achieve the initial purpose. they will be transfe￿ed to general funds in furtherance of the League's objectives. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO - Annual Report 2023 133

Designated (unrestrict¢d) funds comprise funds that have been set aside by the Truslees for particular purposes. These purposes are. in the main, for the provision of gifts lo the K¢nt and Canterbury Hospital. The Trustees may return these funds for general purposes at their discretion. Where ihere are tenns 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. It is not the charity's policy to defer income even where 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- Confinnation has been received from the representatives of th¢ ¢state(s) that probate has been granled The ¢x¢cutors have established thal there are sufficient assels in the estate to pay the legacy All Conditions altached lo the legacy have been fulfilled or are iviihin the Charity's control Where the amount of the legacy can be reliably estimated Legaeies which are subject to a life inleresl party are not recognised Where legacies have been notified to the League, or the League is aware of th¢ granting of probate, bul Ihal a reliable estimate cannot be identified, then Ihe legaey is Sho1￿ as a contingent asset and disclosed ifmaterial. Fundraising income is shown gross. Income from the shops operated by the League is accounted for ivhen earned. nvestmenl income is recognised al the IiTne the investment income is received. Insurance income is recognised upon receipt of confimialion of pay-out. Governmenl grants are reeognised using ihe accrual model. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate finaiicial support to the entity with no future relaled costs are recognised in income in the period in which li 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 ihe estimal¢d resale value after deduction of the cost to sell the goods. 1.4 Intangible Income The value of Se￿iCe$ rendered by volunteers 15 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 2023 | 34

1.5 Resources expended Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation lo make payment lo a Ihird party, il is probable that sLiilement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounled for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the appli¢ablc expendilure headings. Support costs are those cosls incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the League. These are allocated on a time spent basis. Governance costs are ihose incurred in conneclion with adininistration of the League and compliance with constilutional and statutory reqiiiremenls. The cost of charitable activities comprises both ihe shop5. expenditure and the value of gifts made to the Kent and Canlerbury Hospital. Such gifts are recognised when the League has commilted itself Èo ihe expenditure and this has been communicated to the hospital. The I,eague does not make grants to individuals. All grants are made lo the Trust to provide for the care of NHS patienls in filrtherance of its charitable aims. Liabiliti¢s are recognised a5 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 (lisseminating information in sUPPOrt of the charitable activities. 1.6 Tangibl¢ Fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairnient. D¢preciation is provided at rates calculated lo write off the cost of fixed assets. less their estimated residual value, over Iheir expected useful life on ihe folloiving basis.. Computers- 33% Straight line Shop Improvement5- 5% Reducing balance Fittings & equipment- 20% Reducing balance- all areas 1.7 Stocks Stocks are valiied al the loivcr of cost and nel reali5able value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direcl cosls and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overh¢ads. 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 nel of any trade discounls due. The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO- Annual Report 2023 | 35

1.9 Cash at Bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-tern) highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 1.10 Creditors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognis¢d wh¢r¢ th¢ Lcaguc has a present obligation resulting from a past event thal will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or eslimaled reliably. Creditors and provisions are nonnally recognised at their s¢iil¢m¢nt 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 ihe hospital. 1.1 l Judgement ID applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees lo make jiidgemenls, estimates and assumptions that can affect the ainounls reported for assets and liabilities and tlie r¢sulls for Ihe year. The natUTe of estimation 15 such that actual outcomes could differ significantly from thos¢ estim¢ltes. Eslimales for legacies have been made based on the inforniation provided by the solicitors of the cslales. The Trust¢cs b¢licvc this is the best source of infonnation to make the estimate of valu¢, but acc¢pt that there may be changes from expectation. .12 Charity, Tax The League of Friends of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital CIO is considered to pass the tests sel out in Paragraph I Schedul¢ 6 Finance Acl 201 O and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trusi for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains r¢cciv¢d within catcgories covered by Part 10 Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxalion of Chargeable CJains Act 1992, to the extent Ihal such income or gains are applied exclusively to charilable purposes.
