Investing in a healthier society
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Our mission
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation exists to build the foundations of a society that helps everyone stay healthier for longer.
For over 500 years, we’ve been a constant in London’s ever-changing landscape, at the leading edge of health. We are rooted in the heart of a vibrant, diverse global city, where health inequity is stark.
To drive more equitable health, we back people and ideas – investing in fresh thinking and bold action. Our work is supported by our endowment – one of the largest foundations in the UK – which allows us to take a long-term view while addressing the urgent health issues of today.
Through our family of forward-looking organisations, we collaborate with our communities, partners and hospitals, and use our assets to transform lives. We invest, partner, engage and influence, to tackle big health challenges from all angles. This year we continued to meet the pressing health issues that have been brought into sharp focus by the pandemic. We continued to expand our reach and ambition to support communities in Lambeth and Southwark to achieve our mission.
We are driven by a desire to increase our impact by sharing and connecting with others working on better health – because a healthier society is our collective endeavour.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Message from our Chair
As a nation we are still adapting to and dealing with the deep and rippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on our lives. I am buoyed, however, by our collective resilience and capacity to recover and re-build. This report outlines the work across Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation in 2021/22 as we have focused on building the foundations of a healthier society.
In my first year as Chair, it’s been an absolute privilege to witness the impact Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation is making in the world, through the collective endeavour of our family of organisations and the successful completion of the first five years (2017 to 2022) of our 30-year strategy.
It is all part of our mission to build the foundation of a society that helps everyone stay healthier, be happier and live longer. We invest, partner, engage and influence to drive our mission. This helps us come at big health challenges from all angles. We have achieved an enormous amount in the past year. Our direct charitable expenditure reached £37.6m in 2021/22 – an increase of £8.6m (30%) from last year – including £22.9m for our Impact on Urban Health programmes where we strive to unlock the potential for cities to become healthier. We also reached £13.1m in our total charitable spend that supports care and staff wellbeing at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
We turbocharged our impact investment strategy – increasing our allocation to £100m, with a mandate set by our Trustees for attractive financial returns combined with health and societal impact. Amounting to 10% of the value of our £1bn endowment today, this is the largest known impact investment allocation ever made by a UK charitable endowment. Our aim is to incorporate impact throughout our investment portfolio in the future.
As founding members of SC1, we are working alongside likeminded organisations, to make our shared vision for a world-leading life sciences hub in central London a reality. It will transform healthcare, accelerate innovation, and tackle big problems in order to make a healthier future a reality for all of us.
Importantly, we have unveiled three charities that complete our family of organisations: Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, Evelina London Children’s Charity and Guy’s Cancer Charity. These are the fundraising and funding arms that support the provision of care and experiences for patients and staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, which raised a total of £7.8m this year.
I would like to take the opportunity to recognise the unending efforts of staff across Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in providing exceptional healthcare while continuing to navigate the ongoing challenges of these unprecedented times. It has been an honour to have continued our support in prioritising the care and wellbeing of the team providing these essential services.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
I am humbled, too, by the continued outpouring of support for the NHS from the public through donations in recognition of these efforts. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of those who supported our own fundraising efforts this year, at a time when, for many, personal resources are increasingly under strain.
Our 2022 to 2027 strategy is all about scaling further and wider. Our goal is to leverage insights from our practical, real-world work to demonstrate impact and influence change at a much broader level.
With challenging economic uncertainty looming globally, the continued impact of Covid-19 and multiple largescale health problems that need real solutions, we will need both determination and resilience to accomplish what we have set out to do.
I can state with absolute confidence that with the hard work, passion and devotion of our highly dedicated teams, our partners and our communities who we are privileged to have been given a chance to serve, we move to our next five years better informed, better equipped and with an exceptional approach that combines humility with great ambition as we strive in pursuit of our mission.
I would like to personally acknowledge the immense contribution from my predecessor, Wol Kolade, and welcome new Trustee, Susanne Given. Last but not the least, I thank our extraordinary team, my fellow Trustees and our partners who make our work possible.

Message from our Chief Executive
This has been a year of growth, drive, and ambition as we expand our reach and impact in pursuit of better health for all. As a 500-year-old organisation, our challenge has been to respond to the moment at the same time as taking full advantage of our ability to think for the long-term.
The moment is a critical one as we begin to emerge from and navigate the long-lasting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Life expectancy in the UK is decreasing. The NHS is facing significant challenges. Poor health continues to hold our national economy back.
I am proud to say that as a foundation we’ve continued to rise to the challenge, making great strides across every area of the organisation this past year.
Through Impact on Urban Health, we are exploring scalable solutions to the biggest urban health challenges, such as childhood obesity, the effects of multiple long-term health conditions, children’s mental health and the health effects of air pollution. Alongside our increase of charitable expenditure, this year we supported over 171 initiatives, projects and communities through Impact on Urban Health charitable funding totalling over £23m.
Through launching our three new fundraising charities we are bringing renewed focus, strength and commitment to supporting the vital work of the NHS. We continued to prioritise patient care and supporting the dedicated staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’. Over the past year alone, we invested £2m in a staff psychological and spiritual care programme.
We are also leading the way as a responsible investor, continuing our journey towards deploying all our assets for health. Our investor engagement led to significant changes from some of the world’s biggest food retailers and manufacturers. We have played a key role in the development of SC1 – a vision for a life sciences hub in London with health equity at its heart. At the same time, our renewed impact investment strategy and increased impact investment allocation goes beyond that of any other UK charitable foundation.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
To support these ambitions, we have grown our capabilities and are now operating at a larger scale as an organisation than ever before. Vital to this work has been attracting the broadest possible range of experience, skills and perspectives into our teams and to continue embedding the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion into everything we do. This is fundamental in helping us achieve our mission. While we’ve made strong progress, we also know we have more to do in our push to become a truly inclusive organisation.
Looking towards the long-term, this year we also developed our next five-year strategy. Our 2022 to 2027 strategy is all about reach. Its goal is to leverage insights from our practical, real-world work to influence change at a much wider level. This represents the second five years of a 30-year strategy – the first five years focused on testing how best to have impact, while the next five years aim to build the platforms for this impact at scale.
The Foundation could not achieve the impact it does without its people. I’d like to thank our remarkable staff team for delivering above and beyond in a constantly changing landscape, and our Trustees for their continued support and guidance on this vital work.

Strategic report
Achievements and performance
Priorities we set for the year
2021/22 was the final year of our first five-year strategy (2017 to 2022) and a year of great progress towards our goals. We worked on increasing our impact and influence, used our assets and resources to support our collective mission of investing in a healthier society, and set our endowment a dual mandate of achieving both health impact and attractive financial returns. Our progress against priorities and resulting achievements is set out in the contents of this report.
We remained focused on the following priorities:
-
Making a step change in the impact we have on complex health issues prevalent in urban and diverse areas.
-
Unlocking civic contributions that support patient experience and staff welfare at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
-
Delivering effective returns on our endowment and using our assets to support health impact.

Growing our effectiveness.

Acting on our wider commitments to become a more responsible Foundation.
Summary of achievements

-
We awarded charitable grants totalling £28.8m to support 151 initiatives , projects and communities in Southwark and Lambeth aimed at improving health in inner-city areas by understanding and changing how inequalities impact our health.

Our future plans
Our 2022 to 2027 strategy is all about reach. Its goal is to leverage insights from our practical, real-world work to influence change on a much wider level.
This represents the second five years of a 30-year strategy. The first five years focused on testing how best to have impact, and building new methods, capabilities and partnerships – and our work is more data-informed, human-centred, experimental and replicable as a result. We also developed an approach that supports this way of working – combining humility with ambition, long-term thinking with agility and creativity, and open-mindedness with focus.
Over the next five years we aim to build the platforms that will enable us to achieve impact at scale. Our goal is to become more influential so we can leverage wider resources in support of our mission. We will also focus on our internal operations, particularly how we remain agile, invest in our people as an asset for our long-term mission, and embed principles of inclusion more deeply across our work.
The next 20 years of our strategy are aimed at reducing health inequalities on a national, then international, scale. Few organisations have achieved this goal. With the right partnerships, insights and values, we believe we can.
We have four corporate objectives that will underpin our work:
-
Helping urban areas to become healthier places for everyone to live by finding effective approaches to health inequalities and persuading others to take them to scale.
-
Connecting capital to health by showing how to align financial returns with health impact.
-
Investing in exceptional healthcare by unlocking public support for Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
-
Supporting our mission by developing our systems, leaders and skills.

Financial review
Charitable expenditure
Overall direct charitable expenditure for 2021/22 was £37.6m: £8.6m higher than 2020/21.
Impact on Urban Health
Programmatic/Impact on Urban Health expenditure increased to £22.9m (2020/21: £17.6m) of which £3.4m relates to our established Childhood Obesity Programme, £4m to Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTCs), £4.1m to Health Effects of Air Pollution, £1.9m to Adolescent Mental Health (now Children’s Mental Health), and £9.5m to cross-programme and other urban health projects.
For the second consecutive year, the Foundation received unrestricted grant income of £2.7m, comprising unconditional awards of £1.7m from the South-East London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), and £0.5m and £0.4m in conditional awards from Wellcome Trust and Clean Air Fund respectively.
Fundraising charities
The largest recipient of funds continues to be our strategic partner, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. Expenditure as the charity for staff and patients at Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Evelina London hospitals and community services increased to £13.1m (2020/21: £10.9m).
Income generation
Income generated through fundraising, grant income and our endowment was as follows:
-
This year we secured a total income of £13.8m through fundraising efforts, representing a significant variance of £7.5m (119%) against the annual plan of £6.3m. This income includes a 10-year pledge of £6.3m for the Head and Neck Cancer Centre and its suite of projects. Compared to 2020/21, this is an 87% increase in new funds secured annually.
-
Fundraising income (cash with legacy accruals) for the year was £7.8m, which reflects a positive variance of £1.3m against the target for the year. Income for 2020/21 was £9.8m, which included one-off amounts such as £1.5m from Tony Hudgell’s fundraising on his 10km walk for Evelina London.
-
Direct fundraising costs for the year were £4.3m. This is a slight increase on the previous year’s costs of £4.1m and can be attributed to the costs involved in the launch of our three new Fundraising charities. Internally allocated costs have also increased, reflecting investment in our new fundraising charities and income generation.
12
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Endowment
The endowment’s net assets increased by £80.1m (2020/21: £171.7m) before the transfer of £30m (2020/21: £28.6m) which was released under the distribution rule to support charitable expenditure.
Direct investment management costs increased by £3.5m to £6.3m, due partly to one-off professional fees and other costs relating to property developments and partly to higher fees relating to the performance of financial investments in the prior year.
The net value of our endowment after the spending transfer increased by £50m to £931m. Over the five years since March 2017, the net value has grown from £693m to £931m while also releasing a total of £133m to support charitable expenditure.
Costs
Total staff costs increased to £7.9m (2020/21: £5.1m), reflecting the recruitment of additional staff required to deliver the Foundation’s ambitious strategy.
Other support costs increased to £3.6m (2020/21: £2.4m) as a result of the additional investment in systems and infrastructure required to support the Foundation’s increased levels of activity.
Financial position
The Foundation remains in an exceptionally strong financial position.
As at 31 March 2022, the Foundation had free reserves of £28.2m (31 March 2021: £38.3m), which are managed through a distribution account.

Reserves policy
Over the course of the year our total unrestricted funds reduced from £68.8m to £60.6m, reflecting the expenditure of accumulated income from prior years. As at 31 March 2022, £32.4m of these funds were designated in the form of properties and other assets that are used in the provision of our charitable activities. The remaining £28.2m (2020/21: £38.3m) of free reserves are managed through a distribution account.
The Foundation plans the distribution of its unrestricted funds through a five-year budget, performance against which is reviewed annually. The budget is based on the distribution of all available resources projected to arise in the five-year period covered by the budget. For the five-year period that commenced on 1 April 2017, we spent £128m of the total available unrestricted resources of £153m.
The Foundation maintains the ability to transfer funds from the expendable endowment if necessary to meet its disbursement targets.

Our endowment
Our endowment and its ambition
Our endowment is one of our most powerful tools when it comes to driving our mission and creating positive change through our dual objectives of achieving financial returns and health impact. We use our assets to transform lives and demonstrate that investing in health is good business. This strategy allows us to take a long-term view while addressing the real and urgent health issues of today.
Our endowment performed well this year, generating a net return on equity of 12.8% and reaching over £1bn in gross assets. Over the past three and five years, average annual returns have exceeded the Foundation’s financial objective of UK RPI + 4%.

Although the endowment performed well overall, it underperformed some asset class benchmarks during the year as key themes in the public equity portfolio retraced some of the prior years’ gains and property lagged behind a UK index boosted by pandemic-related gains for out-of-town logistics sites.

Our commitment to impact investment
Impact investment offers the potential for greater impact than through grant-making alone, by leveraging scale and different capital sources. Since 2018, we’ve been learning how to maximise impact investment to deliver on our health impact and financial goals. We’ve already built a £22m multi-sector, multi-asset portfolio that has delivered measurable impact alongside attractive financial returns. We’re confident that our model works and have updated our strategy to increase our capital allocation to impact investments from £22m to £100m by 2026, with a view to incorporating impact into our entire investment portfolio in the future.
Our revised strategy will also see us directing more capital from our endowment to catalytic investment opportunities. By investing in emerging yet potentially transformational ideas, we aim to pave the way for others to invest and help upscale our combined capacity to drive health impact.
A responsible property owner and partner
Across our property portfolio, we aim to be a responsible owner, investor and partner in developments, and to use our property assets to support our mission of health equity for all. Our property portfolio is valued at £400m. Most of our properties are based in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, though we also own significant agricultural holdings across the UK. This year we made good progress on embedding wellbeing into the heart of new property developments.
-
SC1 Together with King’s Health Partners and Lambeth and Southwark Councils, we are one of the founding members of SC1, which promises to be a world-leading life science district in south central London. SC1 aims to transform healthcare, accelerate innovation, and tackle big problems in order to create a healthier future for all. The Foundation’s developments at Royal Street in Waterloo and Snowsfields in London Bridge will support SC1 in its ambitious plans to create significant new spaces for health and life sciences.
-
Royal Street We are working in partnership with developer Stanhope to develop a best-in-class, sustainable development at Royal Street to promote health and wellbeing in the built environment, as well as providing key benefits for the local community. A planning application for the redevelopment of Royal Street was submitted to Lambeth Council in March 2022.
-
Snowsfields This year we selected a preferred development partner for the delivery of the Snowsfields Quarter site near London Bridge. Oxford Properties in conjunction with Reef Group will invest approximately £350m to create a 300,000 sq ft life sciences hub with world-class lab facilities across three new buildings in a prime health innovation cluster.

- Cambridge In March 2022, after a competitive bidding process, we selected Present Made as the preferred purchaser of a 17.8 acre site owned by the Foundation in Cambridge. The site has planning consent for 200 residential homes and will be designed and delivered by Present Made as Build to Rent accommodation with a Home Quality Mark level 4 accreditation and 40% affordable housing. The Home Quality accreditation ensures the homes are low-cost to run with positive impacts on health, wellbeing and the environment.

Influencing positive change
We strengthened our commitment to responsible investing for impact and used the power of our investor networks to make positive changes towards health equity.
Highlights include:
-
Committing to new impact funds.
-
Launching Long-term Investors in People’s Health (LIPH), a new programme led by ShareAction that will help investors prioritise health in their investments.
-
Obtaining commitments from Sainsbury’s to pay the real Living Wage to all its direct staff.
-
Obtaining industry-leading commitments on nutrition from Unilever.
-
Joining the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC).
-
Investing £50m with ESG activist managers.
-
Allocating 2% of the endowment to climate solutions.
-
Embedding wellbeing into the heart of new property developments.
One of the ways we ensure our endowment delivers on its dual objectives is by influencing companies we’re invested in to have positive impact on health through their activities.
When we began our Healthy Markets programme in 2019, no retailers and very few manufacturers were disclosing the proportion of their sales that come from healthy foods. Today, eight out of 11 top UK retailers and five out of 12 top manufacturers are now reporting – or are committed to reporting – on the percentage of their sales (by revenue or product portfolio) that meet government definitions of healthy food. Moreover, six of the UK retailers targeted by Healthy Markets have pledged to increase their sales of healthy foods, compared to only two when the programme started.
Following extensive engagement, Tesco set new targets to increase their sales of healthy foods in the UK and Ireland from 58% in 2021 to 65% by 2025, and Unilever committed to reporting the healthiness of their sales against government definitions and to setting targets to increase these sales.

Impact on Urban Health
This year, we continued to work towards our goal of unlocking the potential for cities to become healthier, committing £22.9m funding across 171 partnerships and projects.
All good health interventions start with a simple action: listening – and we continue to collaborate with the communities we serve to make sure our interventions work for them. In a challenging, ever-changing landscape we continued to question how to ensure our resources have the biggest impact when it comes to addressing health inequalities, both here in Lambeth and Southwark and beyond.
This goal means adapting and refining our strategy to respond to the context in which we work. We continue with our long-term programmatic approach, focused on the big challenges of health equity in urban areas – work that’s centred in Lambeth and Southwark – and on increasing our impact in four new areas:
-
By being more focused, moving through our programmes in phases, and developing criteria to identify work within our scope.
-
By ramping up our influence and developing relationships to share our insights locally, nationally and internationally.
-
By working with communities to shift power. This means devolving power and decision-making to the people and communities we work with to give them greater agency over health interventions and outcomes that affect them.
-
By investing for sustainable impact. We’re examining the types of community organisations we should work with in Lambeth and Southwark and investigating the best ways to support them and to amplify and sustain the success of our programmes.

Health Effects of Air Pollution
Our Health Effects of Air Pollution Programme aims to find equitable solutions to poor air quality.
This year we continued to work with businesses, communities and government to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution on those who are most susceptible.
In total, we provided £4.1m to test air quality improvement solutions. Highlights include:
-
Launching the Clear the Air campaign at COP26 with Asthma + Lung UK in November 2021, and contributing £200,000 to raise awareness of air pollution, gather stories from people most affected, and bring those stories to policymakers. Over the course of the campaign, Asthma + Lung UK delivered two major reports, engaged with 91 MPs, recruited 57 storytellers and organised seven events with politicians and decision makers. Media engagement reached almost a billion impressions, including coverage in the daily press.
-
Providing £375,000 for work with Team London Bridge and MP Smarter Travel to encourage businesses in the low line area of London to switch from traditional freight methods to cargo bikes. As of 11 July, 77 bikes were either trialling or had completed trials for cargo bikes.
-
Supporting leading voices raising the issue of air pollution with policymakers, including a grant of £65,000 to the Ella Roberta Family Foundation.
“ In the past year, support from Impact on Urban Health has helped us reach over 600m people with clean air messaging, engage with over 800 members of the public and amplify the voices of communities being ” affected by toxic air across the UK.
Henry Gregg, Director of External Affairs, Asthma + Lung UK

Children’s Mental Health Programme
Our Children’s Mental Health Programme aims to make it possible for all children to have strong, positive mental health, by tackling the inequalities many families face when young people experience behavioural difficulties.
As our Children’s Mental Health Programme is our newest initiative, we spent much of this year gathering research data and insights alongside local partners and building relationships with community-led organisations already supporting families in Lambeth and Southwark.
In total, we invested £1.9m in local partners and building our evidence base. Highlights include:
-
Supporting Loughborough Community Centre with £700,000 to continue delivering services that respond to families’ needs during the cost-of-living crisis.
-
Providing £54,000 to support Daddies’ Voices – a peer support group for fathers in Lambeth and Southwark.
-
Awarding £57,000 to fund three coordinators at the Oval School Learning Cluster.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Multiple Long-Term Conditions Programme
Our Multiple Long-Term Conditions Programme aims to address poor health by improving the building blocks of a healthy life – our homes, work and finances.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the programme provided emergency support for local people and organisations. This year we supported communities and projects working to combat the unfair health burden on people most at risk of financial insecurity.
In total, we supported communities and projects with £4m. Highlights include:
-
Investing £925,000 to trial Financial Shield’s model for accessing debt advice through GPs in partnership with the Centre for Responsible Credit, helping to address rapidly rising levels of debt and related health issues for over 400 people in Lambeth and Southwark.
-
Funding Black Thrive £301,000 to improve employment outcomes for Black individuals in Lambeth, including the community-led Employment Working Group, which made grants to 13 small local organisations delivering new health and work initiatives.
-
Supporting Kineara to run the Southwark Private Renters Project – which helps people with long-term health conditions at risk of eviction – with funding of £586,000. Surveyed beneficiaries reported reduced stress and anxiety, with 77% feeling more capable of managing their health since receiving support.
“ We know financial problems have a negative impact on health and vice versa. The support Financial Shield provides could make all the difference to people’s situation, stress levels and, in turn, health and wellbeing.”
Sangeeta Leahy, Director of Public Health for Southwark Council
Childhood Obesity Programme
Our Childhood Obesity Programme aims to break the link between low income and poor nutrition, by improving the quality of food options in lower-income neighbourhoods.
This year we continued to shape and respond to policy developments affecting children’s health, particularly the National Food Strategy and the government’s response.
In total, we invested £3.4m in communities and projects that are in line with our goals. Highlights include:
- Supporting investor coalitions led by Rathbone Greenbank Investments and ShareAction as part of our push for government to improve food industry regulations. We also continue to encourage the sector to tell a new story about children’s health and nutrition to reduce stigma, increase understanding and build support for policy change and action.
26
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
-
Investing £2.1m to develop the pilot Healthy Zones project. In partnership with School Food Matters, the project is now being rolled out to 80 schools in Lambeth and Southwark to develop an approach to food and nutrition that puts children’s health first.
-
Working with Rice Marketing on the Good Food Retail pilot with wholesaler Bestway and local convenience stores – the Greater London Authority (GLA) is set to scale up the pilot to focus on ‘superzone’ areas around selected London schools in the coming year.
Research and development
Our research and development team drives innovation by creating future-thinking, coordinated activities that support our drive for health equity in urban areas, while identifying the programmes of the future. This includes exploring issues such as trust, systemic inequalities in health systems and health equity, community engagement and empowerment, innovative funding practices, digital inclusion, and more.
In total, we supported communities and projects with £9.5m. Highlights include:
-
Allocating an additional £1.3m to 25 Black and minority-led organisations in Lambeth and Southwark that are still experiencing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The funding will help to provide additional space for building capacity and financial resilience, develop strategic relationships and explore networking opportunities.
-
Supporting Growth Studio with a £100,000 contract to develop a future cities framework that will map the drivers of city-based health outcomes, identify future trends and highlight new opportunities.
-
Building on our Shifting the Power in Research partnership with Wellcome Trust, together we invested a combined £80,000 in Clearview Research Ltd to test an alternative governance model, and £73,266 in Rooted By Design to explore community research eco-systems and how they interact with funders and other organisations. The work will contribute to an understanding of the ways in which we can devolve funding to our communities in the years ahead.
-
Establishing a three-year relationship with the Council on Urban Initiatives as an anchor funder and knowledge partner to help them influence urban change.

Our three charities: Evelina London Children’s Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity, Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity
At the end of 2021, we launched three new fundraising charities to represent our work as the charity for the patients and staff of Guy’s, St Thomas’, Guy’s Cancer, and Evelina London hospitals and community services.
Evelina London Children’s Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity and a new Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity were created to individually represent the fundraising and funding priorities of children, cancer and unrestricted donations to support impact across the NHS Foundation Trust. Creating this distinction from our work as a funder in Lambeth and Southwark enables us to better connect with patients, their families and staff to increase income to help Guy’s and St Thomas’ go beyond what the NHS can provide.
Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity
Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity exists to support the incredible NHS staff and exceptional healthcare provided by Guy’s and St Thomas’.
Thanks to our supporters’ donations, we funded a £350,000* project that’s transforming the experience of patients being treated in intensive care. The ICU Survivorship Programme provides access to specialist care and support, equipping patients with the tools they need to return to everyday life.
We also collaborated with NHS Charities Together and four other NHS charities to fund a £630,000 Long Covid project, co-designed with patients, that will create a new blueprint for care.
Finally, we invested £2m in a staff psychological and spiritual care programme to help the dedicated teams at Guy’s and St Thomas’ recover from the pandemic. Staff from backgrounds disproportionately affected by the pandemic will also have access to dedicated psychologists, providing accessible and culturally relevant care.
“ At Guy’s and St Thomas’ there is a real investment in staff health, in a way that’s different to other hospitals. It’s absolutely central to their wellbeing.”
Dr Raselle Miller, Lead Clinical Psychologist
- Service launched in 2021 following funding approval in 2020.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Guy’s Cancer Charity
Guy’s Cancer Charity supports Guy’s Cancer to transform cancer care through the very latest developments in personalised care.
Donations totalling £6m funded the opening of Guy’s Head and Neck Cancer Centre in July 2021, with the aim of speeding up detection and diagnosis, enhancing treatments, minimising the impact of side-effects, and reducing the recurrence of cancer.
Head and neck cancer is already one of the world’s most common cancers, with 12,000 people diagnosed in the UK every year. This is increasing all the time, and people are being diagnosed younger.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’re able to fund the head and neck cancer team’s vital work, so more people can access pioneering, personalised care and support tailored to their needs.
“ Investment can make a significant difference in the area of head and neck cancer. Every stride we make ” could have ripple effects for other cancers, too.
Dr Teresa Guerrero Urbano, Consultant Clinical Oncologist
Evelina London Children’s Charity
Through Evelina London Children’s Charity, we help Evelina London provide compassionate, trailblazing care for children and young people and their families.
Over the past year, supporters of Evelina London Children’s Charity have helped the Evelina London team provide care for their most vulnerable patients, even while on the move. Donations of £47,000 have funded three specialist incubators so even the smallest and most vulnerable babies can be safely transported.
Donations of £75,000 also contributed to the paediatric and fetal cardiology team at Evelina London developing a virtual reality (VR) system that lets them ‘walk through’ the scan of a patient’s heart, allowing them to investigate and treat even the most complex heart problems in babies and children.
The children at Evelina London have also benefited from VR technology, with donations of £12,000* funding special headsets that enable them to walk with dinosaurs, swim with turtles or explore outer space, helping to ease anxiety while receiving treatment.
“ Evelina London has treated and supported me throughout most of my life and has become my second home.”
Izzie Everest, patient at Evelina London
- Purchased following funding approval in December 2020.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Diversity, equity and inclusion
We continue to push forward to embed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into everything we do as a charitable foundation – from the way we train our staff and Trustees to the way we communicate with our stakeholders and conduct our partnerships with external organisations.
We have developed three strategic objectives to help measure our progress towards achieving our diversity, equity and inclusion goals. These objectives are linked to the Association of Charitable Foundations’ nine pillars of good practice:
-
Embedding equity and inclusive practices into our work, processes and policies and continuing to learn and develop to ensure equitable impact.
-
Working to dismantle inequitable structures and to build an equitable and just legacy through our work as a foundation, by supporting a diverse pipeline of talent in our sector and – leading by example – influencing partners and others to do the same.
-
Maximising the unique space we hold as a foundation to influence and advocate for DEI through our networks and platforms by using our own voice, amplifying the voice of others or joining with similar organisations of influence to amplify and embed equitable practices within our sector.
This year, progress towards our objectives includes:
-
Working to build a better understanding of our heritage and the impact of that legacy on health and healthcare today.
-
Progressing work to address our legacy and deliver on recommendations to install interpretation for the statues of Thomas Guy and Sir Robert Clayton in our collection, beginning the process of expert-led engagement to inform this.
-
Strengthening our commitment to DEI with full-time resource to support this work by creating a permanent post for a Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Project Assistant.
-
Launching Employee Networks to provide supportive spaces representing different and specific groups from diverse communities.
-
Continuing to design, implement and embed diversity action plans across our organisations, including at Board of Trustees level and incorporating DEI as a strategic objective in our business plan.
-
Launching our Associates Programme, and welcoming four full-time associates and three interns from the 10,000 Black internship programmes to our Foundation team.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Principal risks and their management
We need to take risks in order to achieve our charitable and other goals. Effective risk management ensures we are identifying risks, mitigating them to the appropriate extent and ensuring they can be properly scrutinised within our governance processes.
We have appropriate procedures and controls in place to achieve this. At a high level these include:
-
An overall risk appetite envelope set by our Board of Trustees.
-
A long-term strategic plan, a five-year financial plan and an annual budget for all income and expenditure – all of which are approved by the Trustees.
-
Regular consideration by the Executive Team and Trustees of financial results and performance indicators.
-
Periodic review of systems and controls by the Finance and Audit Committee supported by internal audit reports.
-
Regular reviews of key risks by the Executive Team, Finance and Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees.
We have recently introduced a new risk management policy appropriate for our increased size and complexity which takes a more delegated approach to risk management, ensuring strategic risk continues to sit with Trustees while operational risk is devolved into our business areas. All risks are reviewed to an appropriate schedule and escalated to Trustees where necessary.
31
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Strategic risks
We define a strategic risk as one that would pose a threat to our ability to set and/ or execute our overall strategy. Usually these risks relate to strategic decisions or objectives set by the Trustees, and are those most likely to have a long-term impact. These risks are managed at Trustee level, with regular review by our Executive Team, Finance and Audit Committee and Board of Trustees. Below is a summary of the various risks, followed by a brief summary of our approach to mitigate those risks.
Funding and programmatic work
Likelihood of significant public sector fiscal retrenchment, including potentially for the NHS.
Our Board of Trustees and wider team are monitoring this risk, including the possibility that it becomes the ‘new normal’.
Cost of living challenges cause deterioration in the health issues we work on.
We are monitoring for emerging trends. We manage this as both a risk and an influencing opportunity as it has the potential to push health equity higher up stakeholders’ agendas.
A weak economy compromises delivery as partners struggle with operational costs/ income shortfalls.
We work closely with partners on ongoing financial challenges, providing targeted support to key strategic partners where necessary.
Fundraising for our charities
These risks are being mitigated by developing a new charities strategy with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, with the participation of King’s College London, in which we will have better joint visibility and alignment.
A lack of alignment between the between the Foundation, King’s College London and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust hampers the ability of the charities to meet our income growth ambitions.
We have regular formal review points to monitor performance against annual fundraising plans, maintain open lines of communication and regularly review areas of operational risk together.
Uncertainties around key partners’ investment planning may impact on our ability to forecast and plan our fundraising activity.
We regularly check in with key partners on capital planning, including quarterly meetings with the Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust’s Executive Team.
32
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Further waves of the Covid-19 pandemic (or another comparable medical emergency) impact on the Trust’s ability to engage on long-term strategic questions and our ability to reinvigorate our public fundraising activities.
Our close collaboration with the Trust – and what we’ve learnt over the past two years – should reduce the potential impact of this risk.
Communications
Our increased influencing activity draws greater scrutiny or a perception that we are politicised, limiting our range of partners.
We review all work in line with our charitable objects, clearly articulate our political neutrality, regularly review crisis communications plans and only rarely undertake political activity and/or campaigning (as defined by the Charity Commission) that supports the furtherance of our objects, and then in line with Charity Commission guidance.
Through our endowment, we engage with corporates to persuade them to make health impact a part of their strategy. To achieve this, we hold investments in these corporates. This could appear to conflict with our programme activities and approaches, leading to negative impact on our reputation.
We ensure our investing teams have a full understanding of our mission and are aware of our programmatic work, and that they ensure our investing is in line with clear ethical principles.
Endowment
Responsible, ESG, climate and impact investments do not deliver expected financial returns.
We focus significant resource on sourcing the highest quality investments with attractive returns.
Property development opportunities/transactions are delayed or do not deliver expected benefits.
We include contingency in all planning that relies on returns from property development and spend time in diligence on our partners.
Lower returns on our endowment over the next 10 years, due to high asset valuations and/or market downturn.
We are altering our strategic asset allocation and portfolio management, and increasing stress testing to mitigate this risk.
High inflation reduces the real returns and real value of our endowment.
High property allocation reduces this impact, and we are adjusting security portfolios accordingly.
33
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Cross-cutting
Culture diverges across our charities and business areas, making it harder for us to collaborate and live our values.
We are creating regular opportunities to talk about our culture and for staff to engage across teams, and have recruited an internal comms team to support these endeavours.
Our commitment to better understanding the link between our heritage and mission – including the sources of our endowment – is politicised, impacting key relationships or the organisation’s ability to operate.
We are committed to exploring and understanding our heritage and what it means for our mission, and have clear crisis communication plans, and lines of communication with stakeholders.
34
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Operational risks
Operational risks are those that affect our delivery against strategy and are often more time-bound than strategic risks. As we grow as an organisation – and our operations grow in complexity – we increasingly manage a large portfolio of operational risks across all business areas. These include:
-
People risk (key person risk, fraud risk, misconduct risk, culture risk, skills risk).
-
Governance (Board diversity and succession, misconduct risk, oversight, misfit of funding to charitable objects).
-
Cross-cutting (growth risk, misallocation of resources).
-
Partner risk (project/partner failure, reputational event, fundraising risk, misalignment risk).
Operational risks are managed at a business area level, and the Executive Team manage cross-cutting risks. They are regularly reviewed by our operations group and/or the Executive Team depending on the level of risk, and by the Finance and Audit Committee. They will be escalated to the Board when necessary.
Structure, governance and management
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation (formerly known as Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity) is an independent charitable company, registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, with charity number 1160316. The Foundation is registered at Companies House as a company limited by guarantee, with number 9341980. Our registered office is The Grain House, 46 Loman Street, London SE1 0EH.
The Foundation is the Trustee of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Endowed Charity and a number of other linked charities. Unrestricted funds – and those restricted funds that are not separate charities linked to us – are part of the charitable company.
The object of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation is any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the general or specific purposes of the Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust or the purposes of the health service (as described in section 1 of the NHS Act 2006 or any statutory modification of that section).
35
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Funding policy
We work with many partners, funding projects and initiatives that are able to make a positive contribution to our strategic goals, and which are in line with our charitable objects. All spend is reviewed by the Foundation against our criteria for quality and value for money. Ongoing projects are monitored to ensure they are achieving their milestones and are formally evaluated.
Appointment of Trustees
Since our reconstitution on 1 April 2015, Trustee appointments are made by the Trustees after open advertisement and work with executive recruitment firms. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has the right to appoint and remove one Foundation Trustee. Trustees are given a thorough induction to the Foundation and its staff and operations when they join our Board, and training needs are also addressed.
Trustee changes
Wol Kolade (Chair of the Foundation’s Board) stepped down on 31 August 2021. Debu Purkayastha joined the Board as Chair on 1 September 2021. Susanne Given joined the Board on 21 October 2021.
Powers of investment
The Foundation’s powers of investment in its own right are principally derived from its Articles of Association and the Companies Act 2006. In exercising these powers, the Trustees must act in accordance with their duties as Foundation Trustees and as company directors as set out in the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, Charities Act 2022 and the Companies Act 2006 and as derived from case law.
The Foundation’s powers of investment in its capacity as corporate Trustee of the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Endowed Charity and the other linked charities are principally derived from the revised Scheme approved by the Charity Commission in 2015 and the Trustee Act 2000. In exercising these powers, the Foundation must act in accordance with its duties as set out in the Scheme and the Trustee Act 2000.
In each case, these powers of investment are wide, allowing the Trustees and the Foundation in its capacity as corporate Trustee of the Endowed Foundation and the other linked charities to invest in such stocks, funds, shares, securities or other investments as they see fit.
Fundraising
The Foundation’s fundraising activities have been undertaken by King’s College London (King’s) since 2012. We have a contract with King’s to cover these activities. King’s reports regularly to the Foundation on fundraising activities, income, other key performance
36
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
indicators and any issues arising, including complaints. These reports are discussed with King’s and at the Foundation’s Fundraising Leadership Group which includes representatives from the Foundation, Trust and King’s.
The Foundation and King’s are both registered with the Fundraising Regulator and seek to abide by best fundraising practice.
The Foundation keeps abreast of sub-contractors used by King’s for fundraising activities and King’s actively monitors them.
The Foundation’s fundraising team received 16 complaints/instances of negative feedback during the year, 10 of which related specifically to our fundraising activities. The Foundation and King’s take all such complaints seriously, and responded appropriately to issues raised.
The Foundation takes seriously the protection of vulnerable people and other members of the public from inappropriate fundraising behaviour.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and that they have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in shaping the Foundation’s objectives and planning future activities.
The Trustees are conscious of the need to ensure that the activities of the Foundation comply with the public benefit requirement, and they believe that all the charitable activities – most of which are described in this report – are for the public benefit.
Diversity, equity and inclusion within our team
To succeed as a Foundation, we need to draw on the broadest possible range of perspectives, expertise and talents.
Of the 110 people in the Foundation on 31 March 2022, 65% were female (2020/21: 69%), 24% were male (2020/21: 29%) and 11% preferred not to say. Our Executive Team was one third female and two thirds male.
On 31 March 2022, approximately 30% of employees were Black or from other minoritised ethnic groups, while five (55%) of our Trustees were female and 36% came from Black or other minoritised ethnic groups.

Our ethnicity pay gap shows no significant structural gap, with a median gap of 4% compared to -1% in the previous year.
Remuneration
The governing principles of the Foundation’s remuneration policy are to set pay levels that:
-
Help us to attract and retain a motivated workforce with the skills and expertise necessary for organisational effectiveness.
-
Are equitable, understandable and coherent across the Foundation.
-
Are appropriate in the context of the wider Foundation sector and the interests of the organisations we partner with and the people and communities we support.
These principles apply to all staff, including senior executives. The table below details staff compensation by salary band. It covers staff who were on payroll on 31 March 2022, and shows full-time equivalent pay for ease of comparison. An alternative, more detailed breakdown of the remuneration of senior employees based on actual payments made appears in section 8 of the notes to the financial statements .
Salary band for staff as at 31 March 2022
| Salary band | Number of staff |
|---|---|
| £20,000–£60,000 | 73 |
| £60,000–£100,000 | 22 |
| £100,000–£150,000 | 7 |
| Over £150,000 | 2 |
All staff employed before 1 April 2022 were awarded a general pay increase of 4% on 1 April 2022, with an additional 2% increase for all staff whose salaries, on 31 March 2022, were lower than £50,271.
The Foundation has been certified as a London Living Wage employer since 2016/17.

Our commitment to the environment
As an independent foundation focused on building a healthier society, we believe in committing to bold action to address climate change and are committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
We have made the following climate commitments:
-
Halving emissions across our financial investments portfolio by 2030.
-
Investing £50m of our portfolio in climate solutions and strategies.
-
Reducing exposure to fossil fuels and other investments that are not consistent with a low carbon future.
-
Transitioning our property portfolio to operational net zero (Scope 1 direct emissions and Scope 2 indirect emissions) by 2030.
-
Becoming a member of the Lambeth Climate Partnership.
We are working to better understand the link between climate change and our health equity mission, initially by looking at opportunities for research and projects that could benefit both the climate and health through our four programmes at Impact on Urban Health.
We are taking further steps to understand and measure our climate impact and have begun work on reviewing our practices and policies.
Find out more about our actions on climate on our website.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
We report in line with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) guidance for the period covering 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, which considers an operational control approach for all our properties and land. See appendix on page 88 for our report and methodology.

Trustees’ responsibilities
Responsibilities of the Board
The Trustees (who are also directors and members of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Board to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Board are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards – including FRS102 – have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
Follow the guidance in SORP, Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
-

Guy's and StThomas' Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 20/22 Auditor's report and financial statements Guy's & St Thomas, Foundation 49
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Independent auditor’s report to the members and Trustees of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
Give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended.
-
Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
-
Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the 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.
50
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
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 group’s and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained in the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
The information given in the strategic report and the Trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
The strategic report and the Trustees’ annual report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
51
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the Trustees’ annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
The parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us.
-
The parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
-
Certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made.
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 40, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
52
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
-
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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group and parent charitable company’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 group and parent charitable company’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 group or parent charitable company 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 represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit report.
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.
53
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters which 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 any party other than the charitable company and charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies
1.1 General
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of: investments and works of art which are included at market value; and grant creditors payable after more than one year which are included at their present value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (“FRS 102”), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued in January 2015 (“Charity SORP”) as amended by Update Bulletin 2 issued in October 2018, and applicable United Kingdom law and accounting standards. The Foundation is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered (i) possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern, (ii) the Foundation’s forecasts and projections, and (iii) potential pressures on income. This assessment has been made for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. After making enquiries, the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Foundation therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
1.3 Fund accounting
The Foundation maintains various types of funds and descriptions of these funds are provided in notes 1 to 17. Income and expenditure on these funds is shown separately within the Statement of Financial Activities and analysed into their main components also in notes 16 to 18.
There are three main types of funds as follows:
-
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Foundation.
-
Restricted funds represent funds where the grants and donations are requested by the donor to be spent on a specific purpose.
-
Endowment funds are funds which are held as the long-term capital of the Foundation to provide an ongoing income to expend in furtherance of the Foundation’s objects. The Foundation has two types of endowment funds; those expendable at the Trustees’ discretion (expendable endowment funds) and those which must be permanently held as capital (permanent endowment funds). A total return approach to investment has been adopted for both types of endowment fund under which the funds are invested to produce an investment return without regard to whether that return is in the form of income or capital appreciation. The Foundation has developed a distribution rule which is designed to produce a consistent and sustainable amount to be transferred annually to the unrestricted fund whilst maintaining the value of the endowments in real terms over the long term (see note 3).
1.4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Foundation’s management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the estimates and assumptions form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The judgements that have the most significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:
-
the valuations of investment properties, for which the Foundation has obtained assurance from its professional valuers that the valuations included in the accounts have not materially changed since the date of valuation;
-
the valuations of unlisted programme-related direct financial investments, which are based either on the prices achieved in the most recent fundraising, if applicable, or cost less any known impairment; and
-
the discount rate applied to the calculation of the present value of grant creditors payable after more than one year, for which the Foundation has assessed the most appropriate discount rate to be the interest rate of the inter-fund loan from the unrestricted fund to the endowment fund, as described in note 12, as this best reflects the opportunity cost of income foregone.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies (cont.)
1.5 Income
All income received or receivable is brought into account and allocated as appropriate to one of the three types of fund
-
unrestricted, restricted or endowment.
-
Donations, gifts, legacies and investment income are accounted for when received or when due and receipt is probable.
-
Dividends and interest are brought into account gross of recoverable UK and overseas taxation.
-
Income from grants is accounted for when the Foundation becomes entitled to receive it. Where such grants are subject to terms or conditions, income will only be recognised to the extent that the related terms and conditions have been fulfilled by the Foundation.
1.6 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. The majority of costs are attributable directly to specific activities. Shared costs are apportioned to activities based on an estimate of the proportion of staff time spent on each of these areas of work. Expenditure in the accounts is analysed into the following activities:
Expenditure on raising funds comprise costs incurred in managing the Foundation’s investment portfolio and maintaining the Foundation’s investment properties as well as amounts both charged to and directly incurred by the Foundation for fundraising services.
Grants awarded are brought into account when a constructive obligation exists for the Trustees to make the grant.
Other charitable activities relate to expenditure in support of beneficiaries which is not made as part of the normal grants programme. It includes day-to-day beneficiary expenditure incurred through special purpose funds, charitable activity funded by contractual agreements, and expenditure on maintaining and displaying the art collection.
1.7 Pension contributions and employee benefits
The cost of employer contributions to the NHS Pension Scheme and other schemes is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.
The NHS Pension Scheme is an unfunded defined benefit scheme that covers NHS employers, GP practices and other bodies allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State. The Scheme is not designed to be run in a way that would enable employer bodies to identify their share of the underlying Scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore the Scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. Employer contributions to the NHS Scheme are based on 14.38% of gross salaries.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Foundation is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee through, for example, redundancy, or to provide termination benefits.
1.8 Allocation and apportionment of costs
Staff costs are considered on a person by person basis and allocated between expense headings on the basis of an estimate of time spent on activities in each area. Other overheads which are not directly attributable to one particular area of activity are apportioned in the same ratios as salary costs. Details of expenditure are provided in the notes to the accounts.
1.9 Tangible fixed assets
Capitalisation
-
Leasehold improvements and fixtures, fittings and equipment which are capable of being used for more than one year and have a cost equal to or greater than £5,000 are capitalised.
-
Works of art which are included in the Foundation’s art collection are capitalised without reference to a minimum cost.
Valuation
-
Leasehold improvements and fixtures, fittings and equipment are included at cost less depreciation where applicable.
-
Works of art which are included in the Foundation’s art collection are included at open market value where such a market exists for a particular asset. Assets for which there is no ready open market and for which the original cost is not available are included at a nominal value. The entire collection was professionally valued as at 31 March 2022.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies (cont.)
1.9 Tangible fixed assets (cont.)
Depreciation
-
Leasehold improvements and fixtures, fittings and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over 10 years or the term of the lease if shorter. Furniture and equipment is depreciated over 5 years. Computers and other IT hardware are depreciated over 3 years.
-
The art collection is not depreciated as the residual value of works of art is considered to be at least equal to the book value.
Impairment
- As at the balance sheet date there was no indication that the recoverable amount of any functional fixed asset was below its net book value.
1.10 Fixed asset investments
Property assets are included at market valuation. Investment properties are valued annually by professional valuers and the last full valuation was as at 31 December 2021. Where a decision to sell a property was made before the balance sheet date and offers to purchase were received subsequent to the balance sheet date, the value at which the property is included in the accounts has been adjusted to reflect the estimated net sale price achievable. The Foundation does not believe that the valuations of property assets have materially changed subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Listed investments are included in the balance sheet at market value as at 31 March 2022. Inevitably, market valuations fluctuate, sometimes significantly, over time including over the period subsequent to the balance sheet date. However, given the long-term nature of its investment portfolio, the Foundation does not believe that there has been any material permanent diminution in investment valuations subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Unlisted Investments are valued with reference to the most recent valuations provided by the fund managers, all of which were as at 31 March 2022. The Foundation does not believe that there is any evidence of any material permanent reduction in these valuations subsequent to the balance sheet date.
The net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year are included in the statement of financial activities.
1.11 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments are classified as either basic financial instruments or other financial instruments.
Basic financial instruments are recognised in the accounts as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, which includes cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less, are carried at the value of the cash so held.
Trade and other exchange transaction debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are initially recognised at their settlement amount and subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Other debt instruments subject to a market rate of interest are initially recognised at the amount of principal advanced less material arrangement or similar fees and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fixed asset financial investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date as described in note 1.10 above.
Other financial instruments are used as part of the Foundation’s portfolio management and risk management strategy. The Foundation’s use of other financial instruments during the year ended 31 March 2022 comprised forward dated contracts for the purchase and sale of foreign currencies (“forward FX contracts”) which are both initially recognised and subsequently measured at their fair value in the balance sheet with gains and losses recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.12 Grant creditors
Grant creditors are amounts committed under grant awards but not yet paid. They are non-contractual in nature and therefore not financial instruments. Grant creditors that are estimated as payable after more than one year are measured at the present value of the expected future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.
1.13 Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Foundation and its wholly-owned subsidiary undertakings, GSTC Health Innovations Limited, GSTC Property Investments Limited and GSTC Property Developments Ltd. The Foundation has not presented its unconsolidated income and expenditure account in accordance with the exemption under Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

The Foundation aims to release approximately 4% of the value of the permanent endowments annually for charitable spending in accordance with their objects by way of transfers to appropriate restricted funds.

7. Grants
7.1 Grants committed but not yet paid
Grants awarded are brought into account when a constructive obligation exists for the Trustees to make the grant. Amounts thus committed but not yet paid are included on the balance sheet as grant creditors. Grant creditors that are estimated as payable after more than one year are measured at the present value of the expected future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, with the change in the value of the discount being included in grant expenditure (see note 6).

The Foundation’s accounting policy is to capitalise only those assets with a cost of £5,000 or above. As the majority of IT and other office equipment items purchased have a cost of less than this threshold, they are charged in full to the SoFA in the year of acquisition. During the year, the total cost of IT and other office equipment purchased was £131,000 (2021: £15,000).

12. Inter-fund loan
Within the unrestricted fund, the Foundation’s policy is to closely match the total of grant liabilities and the balance on the distribution account with cash or cash equivalents. In order to enable the unrestricted fund to obtain a better return on this cash than would be available in the money market without incurring additional market risk, on 9 April 2013 the unrestricted fund lent £50,000,000 to the endowment fund for an initial term of 5 years, and with effect from 9 April 2018 the facility was renewed for a further 5 years with an upper loan limit of £65,000,000. Repayments of any amount can be requested by the unrestricted fund or the endowment fund at any time. The unrestricted fund receives interest on this loan at a rate of 12 month sterling LIBOR (SONIA from January 2022) + 0.8% fixed annually on the anniversary of the commencement of the loan which is paid by transfers from the endowment fund to the unrestricted fund. At 31 March 2022 the balance outstanding was £65,000,000 and during the year the balance fluctuated between this amount and the balance outstanding at 31 March 2022 of £65,000,000, in accordance with the cash requirements of the unrestricted fund.

In October 2014 the Trustees resolved (i) to adopt a total return approach to investment to the five permanent endowment funds shown above pursuant to the power contained in the Charities Act 2011, and (ii) that the provisions in the Charities (Total Return) Regulations 2013 would regulate the Trustees’ use of the total return approach on an ongoing basis. The Foundation received advice from its legal advisors Withers LLP with regard to the use of the power. Consequently, effective from 1 January 2015, these funds are invested to maximise total return and the Foundation aims to release 4% of their value annually for charitable spending in accordance with their objects by way of transfers of portions of the unapplied total return to income of appropriate restricted funds. Until the power to make transfers is exercised, the unapplied total return remains invested as part of the relevant permanent endowment.
The table below sets out the dates that the values of the initial endowments (or the valuations at the nearest dates for which the information is available) were established. The initial values of the unapplied total return (in practice, the capital profits arising from the investment of the endowments) were established as at 31 December 2015.

23. Contingent liabilities
The Foundation recovers part of the VAT incurred on investment advisory costs in accordance with its longstanding interpretation of applicable VAT legislation. A recent court decision involving an unrelated third party has created some uncertainty regarding this interpretation. Although the Foundation remains confident that the court’s decision does not apply to the Foundation’s circumstances, it is possible although not probable that a further determination may result in the Foundation being required to repay any VAT recovered on this basis over the preceding four years. As at 31 March 2022 the total amount of VAT that would be repayable was £185,000.
24. Company limited by guarantee
The Foundation is a company limited by guarantee of members and does not have a share capital. The liability of members is limited to £1.

Guy's and StThomas' Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 20/22 Appendix Guy's & St Thomas, Foundation 88
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
This appendix relates to the section on our commitment to the environment on page 39. It provides an overview of the methodology used to report on our impact in line with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) guidance, as well as charts and tables displaying our energy usage.
Reporting methodology
The Foundation is committed to complying with all environmental legislation. This report discloses the information required by SECR guidance.
Energy consumption
SECR requires us to include, “as a minimum purchased electricity, natural gas and fuel for the purpose of transport”. The Foundation has covered these requirements by disclosing purchased electricity, natural gas and fuel used in personal/hire cars on business use (including fuel for which the organisation reimburses its employees following claims for business mileage).
Due to limitations in vehicle data, it has been assumed that all vehicles are ‘average sized diesel’ and the correct conversion factor applied. In accordance with SECR guidance, which states that “the party responsible for the consumption of energy should take the responsibility for reporting of it under this legislation”, all tenant direct consumption was excluded from this report. Below is a detailed description of how energy consumption data was collated:
1. Electricity: the Foundation provided utility invoices/bills and actual meter readings, collated into a utility data collection template created and issued to the client by Savills prior to the data collection period.
2. Natural gas: Only two properties use gas. The utility consumption data from invoices and bills was entered into a utility data collection template created and issued to the client by Savills prior to the data collection period.
3. Company vehicles: The Foundation does not have any company vehicles.
4. Expensed mileage: Fuel was purchased for business travel using employees’ vehicles. The Foundation has provided the total expensed mileage for the reporting period.
Data analysis
The Foundation used the following data analysis techniques:
5. Analysis of monthly consumption trends.
6. Comparison of consumption between data sources.
7. Communication with client and property managers to review and rationalise data.
89
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation Annual Report and Financial Statements 2021/22
GHG emissions
The Foundation used an operational control approach to calculate its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. Partial Scope 3 GHG emissions are included in this year’s reporting from business mileage claims. Emissions from the following energy sources have been calculated:
8. Scope 1: natural gas
9. Scope 2: purchased electricity
10. Scope 3: expensed mileage
At the time of writing this report, Q1 2022 electricity consumption data for Francis House was not yet available from the supplier. Therefore 2020 data was used for completeness.
The methodology used to calculate emissions followed guidance from the revised edition of the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and the Reporting Standard and the UK Government Guidance on SECR. Scope 2 GHG emissions have been calculated using location-based conversion factors which reflect the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs. Location-based GHG emissions were calculated using conversion factors from the UK Government’ Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Conversion Factors for Company Reporting for the respective reporting period.
The Foundation applied a standardised intensity ratio to allow transparent reporting expressed as CO2e emissions per net lettable floor area (sq ft).
The Foundation has an extensive portfolio of properties and land located across London and the South of England, ranging from mixed use offices, retail and leisure to student accommodation and tenanted farms. The portfolio comprises a total area of 666,000 sq ft.
We are striving to go beyond mandatory regulations and are developing our ESG strategy, carbon net zero journey and minimum standards document for all leased properties to ensure the objectives and targets of the strategy are applied in all properties, whether leased or owned.
As the first year of complete reporting, this will become the baseline year for our ESG and carbon net zero strategy. In total, 178.83 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) are emitted directly and indirectly from the properties under landlord control in the portfolio.
Energy consumption is detailed in the table and charts below. Electricity makes up the largest proportion of consumption (767,000kWh), and business miles the smallest (240kWh). Electricity represents 89.87% of all energy consumed, gas 10.11% and transport only 0.03%.
