EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
UCH LONDON NURSES' CHARITY
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The Executive Committee present their report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charitable Company's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)”
The report reflects the work of the UCH London Nurses' Charity in their eighth year of operation.
Objectives and activities
The overall purpose of the Charity includes the provision of support, sharing and disseminating learning regarding nursing practice, fostering benevolence and providing cooperation and friendship among members.
The Charity provides a network which actively promotes the highest professional standards and the sharing of experience, research and learning for the public benefit. The Charity aims to advance the health of patients being cared for in hospital and in the community by advancing the education of Associate Members through attendance at training courses, conferences and seminars relating to their area of practice. The Charity also provides grants to undertake research, publish and disseminate the results of any such research. Public benefit is also derived by providing a network for Associate Members to communicate with each other in order to share best practice, latest developments in patient care and the feedback from attending training courses and conferences. The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding which activities the Charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
We continue to recruit trustees and volunteers. We have 10 trustees including one new trustee in 2023. One new member has joined as a volunteer to the Benevolent Committee. New adverts for trustees and volunteers are posted on Facebook and onto the website.
The Charity comprises three funds, a General Fund which includes a PayPal account, an Educational Fund and a Benevolent Fund, the latter two being restricted funds. In 2023 the General Fund served to pay the administrative costs of the Charity that support the charitable activities, such as the production and distribution of the annual magazine to all Associate Members, upkeep and development of the website, and travel expenses to the office for volunteers engaged in administrative activity, The Charity also raises funds and collects membership subscriptions and donations, which in addition to investments, make up the income of the Charity.
The Charity continues to recruit new members and to distribute funds to a wider group of nurses in financial need or who require support for their education and professional development. The Charity membership is 993. We have attracted new members through UCLH directly and have received an increased number of enquiries via the website regarding the education and benevolent funds from new associate members. The Charity has an advertisement with information about our two funds in the monthly Chief Nurse’s Bulletin which goes out to all nursing and midwifery staff electronically.
We held two membership events in Spring 2023 and Autumn 2023.
Three areas of work continue to improve the functioning of the Charity: a focus on modernisation and governance; liaison with UCLH and dissemination of our work via the website, Facebook group and the continued sales of merchandise through the online shop. The latter is providing a regular line of income for the charity. We have also asked a trustee to undertake a strategic review of the Charity in our 8[th] year and following changes tour governance during and following the Pandemic in 2020.
The Education Fund was set up to assist nurses with grants for post qualifying education, including study programmes, recognised courses and conferences. In 2023, the Education Fund continued to support the Preceptee programme at UCHL although no award events were held. In 2023, £1,625 was awarded for education. We have updated an application form for applicants to apply for funding and disseminated information about the fund. We are in discussion with UCHL about how to fund group education activities.
The Benevolent Fund assists Associate Members in the relief of poverty and financial hardship with grants, items and services. The Trustees agreed that the subsidy of fees for the study days will be paid for by the Benevolent Fund as it allows for Associate members to afford the ticket. During the year ended 31st December 2023 the Benevolent Fund provided assistance amounting to £2,661 to Associate Members. The Benevolent Fund award policy and application form are published on the website. The application form is published in the Annual Magazine.
UCH LONDON NURSES' CHARITY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Older Associate Members are kept in contact with by telephone, birthday and Christmas cards as a means of combating loneliness which is an increasing problem among the older generation and also as a means of assessing whether help is required. A small gift voucher is included with a birthday card on significant birthdays from the age of 80 years onwards. This small gesture makes them feel appreciated and not forgotten and the Charity has received many letters of thanks, particularly from those living alone. The Benevolent Fund Committee undertakes this contact work, has written a safe guarding policy and will appoint a safe guarding representative.
The website has the facility for members to join and pay online by BACs. A ‘PayPal’ facility allows nurses to join the Charity as an Associate Member, buy merchandise and tickets to events. Merchandise is advertised on the website with photos on the online shop.
The Charity moved offices to 250 Euston Road due to closure of the previous trust office. The Charity has two locked cupboards where we store merchandise and charity documents. We have access to a ‘hot’ desk and a meeting room if necessary. Half the merchandise is now stored in the cupboards and half with Sarah Molloy, the new Benevolent Fund volunteer who manages the online shop.
The charity continues to work closely with senior nurse leaders at UCLH to develop relationships to ensure that the work of the Charity becomes known to a wider audience of potential members. Examples of close working with UCLH include the annual study day where senior nurses are invited to speak, updates on UCLH for the website and the Janet Hull scholarship fund. In 2023, the Chair of the Charity was invited to speak at a nursing conference at UCHL for nurses working at UCLH.
Financial review
The financial results shown in succeeding pages show that the General Fund and Paypal Fund had a surplus of £7,988 (2022: deficit of £1,209) before transfers, which includes an unrealised gain on investments of £648 (2022: loss of £3,712).
The Restricted Funds had a surplus of £4,089 (2022: surplus of £7,333) before transfers, which includes unrealised gain on investments as noted below.
The Education Investment Fund had a value of £43,149 (2022: £45,878) and an unrealised gain on investments of £9,535 (2022: gain of £92). The gains were due to bond purchase and interest.
The Benevolent Investment Fund had a value of £197,207 (2021: £214,287) and an unrealised loss on investments of £13,933 (2022: loss of £22,857).
At 31 December 2023 the Charity's total investments had a market value of £423,223 (2022: £426,973).
Further details of the investments together with market valuation at 31 December 2023 are shown in note 6 & 7.
The Trustees considered that the funds held at the year end were sufficient to support the work of UCH London Nurses' Charity in 2024 because planned expenditure is well within the charitable company's level of resources. The Trustees acknowledge the fall in value of the investments during the year to 31 December 2023 which was due to world events that impacted on the UK economy as a whole.
The Trustees aim to ensure that the Charity has the resources to continue with the current operating model in respect of regular activities and one-off requests for help or assistance. The Trustees wish to limit the financial demands made of the membership and therefore it is important that available resources are carefully invested to provide income that can be applied to the Charity's objectives.
At the balance sheet date the Trustees consider that the Charity's reserves:
-
include sufficient liquid resources to meet expected needs for at least the next twelve months
-
are sufficient and appropriately invested to ensure that the Charity is sustainable for the next fifteen years.
At this time it is envisaged that the UCH London Nurses' Charity and its component funds will continue for up to fifteen years. In this context available funds should be invested cautiously so as to protect their value but also with the aim of maximising income to be applied in the furtherance of the Charity's objectives.
It is envisaged that a diverse portfolio of investments mainly in larger companies (FTSE-100) or investment funds run by established and reputable investment managers will achieve this aim. Investments in private companies are not considered appropriate.
UCH LONDON NURSES' CHARITY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The risks to the Charity include the potential for fraudulent use of charitable funds. The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the risk:
-
A restricted number of Trustees are signatories on the bank accounts, including the Chair, Treasurer and her Deputies.
-
Two signatures are required for cheques which are over £250
-
Trustees who claim travelling and other expenses are required to complete and sign a claim form with evidence of the expense, such as train ticket receipts for day of travel to meetings or office duties.
-
No Trustees are permitted to gain financially from their positions and therefore Trustees are prohibited from applying for grants from the Education and Benevolent Funds.
-
The year cash book and bank statements are available on the Charity’s One Drive for Trustees to access and review.
The Trustees will continue to consider the above risks at their meetings in 2024 and take appropriate action.
Plans for the future
In the last eight years, awards from both the Educational and Benevolent Funds have remained fairly consistent but not increased. In 2023 we have had more enquiries about both awards via the website; we have rewritten our award criteria and application forms and disseminated information about our awards more widely within UCLH. The Trustees agreed to commission a strategic review by one of our trustees to plan for our activities 2024 forwards.
The production of the annual magazine, the spring and autumn meetings continue to provide opportunities for sharing and learning about nursing practice, the website, our presence at other educational events and UCLH fairs will attract new members to the Charity. These activities continue in 2024, managed by the Trustees and Associate Members who provide essential support for these activities.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
New Trustees are given appropriate training to allow them to carry out their responsibilities in fulfilment of the objects of the Charity as set out in the Articles.
Trustee meetings continue to be held remotely every quarter. Post is sent to 250 Euston Road and forwarded by a trustee who works at UCLH trust to the Secretary to deal with. We have an administrative assistant who works with the Secretary and the Benevolent Fund committee to update associate members’ details, deaths recorded and new members. Volunteers are not required to travel into the office premises but can do so if they require a face-to-face meeting at 250 Euston Road. As above, sales are now online during the year and at the two face-to-face events. We continue to employ a website administrator to update the website. Trustees and volunteers are not remunerated for their work. Trustees and volunteers are entitled to reimbursement of travelling expenses incurred when undertaking Charity business such as travelling to London to attend Trustee meetings or to work in the Charity's office to support day to day work.
The Trustees make the decisions for the Charitable Company in line with the Articles of Association.
Statement of Executive Committees' Responsibilities
The Executive Committee, who are also the Directors of UCH London Nurses' Charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Executive Committees' Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Executive Committee to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charitable Company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these Financial Statements, the Executive Committee are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

The Executive Committee are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.
The Executive Committees' Report was approved by the Board of Executive Committee

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY
I report to the Executive Committee on my examination of the financial statements of UCH London Nurses' Charity (the Charitable Company) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Executive Committee of the Charitable Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charitable Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charitable Company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charitable Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our independent examination work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
