Chair’s Report
I am delighted to be penning this as the new Chair of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) Charity.
I feel very honoured to have been appointed to help lead a charity which does so much fantastic work helping our communities in Coventry and Warwickshire.
However, I know I have my work cut out following on from Andy Meehan, who has done so much for this charity but also UHCW NHS Trust which he previously chaired
Andy helped steer the Charity through the difficult times of Covid, backed by a strong team and a committed group of trustees who continue to support the Charity purely because they recognise the valuable work it does.
The hospitals are very close to my heart. I have family working at UHCW, I was born at the former Walsgrave Hospital – as were my three sisters and my two children.
While the threat of Covid, albeit still very much present, has receded, we know that the charitable sector will see challenges on all fronts - fundraising activities, competing for public monies, and navigating through the tough economic impact of our post-pandemic and environment with added cost of living pressures.
At the same time, the need for its work, is even more pressing than ever.
My primary aim is to mitigate and protect UHCW Charity from these factors as far as possible and to enable it to provide such vital support.
We will do this by building on the already-established reputation and profile of the Charity and celebrate how it has benefitted, and continues to benefit, patients and staff.
In the coming months we plan to lay out our aims and priorities which focus on where we can add value and make a difference. The timing for that exercise is perfect as it comes at a very important time in healthcare nationally.
Our own health and care organisations, UHCW and CWPT, are both launching new strategies up to 2030, and I am determined that the charity will help in delivering the ambitions of the plans for maximum benefit for patients and staff.
Paula Deas Chair of Trustees October 2022

Trustees’ and Charity Director’s Report Charitable Purpose and Public Benefit
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) Charity, registered charity number 1165393 is the official charity of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT).
UHCW Charity exists for the benefit of patients at UHCW and CWPT and provides funding for support that is over and above that provided by core NHS funding.
The Charity’s income comes from fundraising, donations, charitable grants, legacies and sponsorship. The Trustees oversee charitable expenditure to ensure that funding is for the clear benefit of patients and their families, as well as for the staff of the two organisations.
Under the Charities Act 2011, charities are required to demonstrate that their aims are for the public benefit. The two key principles which must be met in this context are first, that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits; and secondly, that the benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public.
Charity Trustees must ensure that they carry out their charity’s aims for the public benefit, must have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance, and must report on public benefit in their Annual Report.
The Trustees of UHCW Charity regularly monitor and review the success of the Charity in meeting its key objectives of benefiting patients at UHCW NHS Trust and CWPT. The Trustees confirm, in the light of the guidance, that these aims fully meet the public benefit test and that all the activities of the Charity are undertaken in pursuit of its aims.

-
We do not sell the names, addresses or data of any of our supporters

Fundraising in 2021-2022
As one of the largest acute NHS Trusts in the country, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire continued to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic during the year.
Unfortunately the ongoing restrictions meant that external fundraising events and those organised by the Charity were mainly cancelled, leading to a drop in income in these areas.

Structure, Governance and Management
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity (the Charity) is an independent Charity, which exists to support University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.
It is registered with the Charity Commission (registered Charity Number 1165393) and is also a company limited by guarantee (registered number 9981080).
Charitable Objects
The objects and powers of the Charity are set out in the governing documents submitted to the Charity Commission. As the Charity for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust the Charity aims to make things better for patients, their families and the staff who treat them by providing grants to:
-
Fund equipment
-
Finance research projects
-
Provide patient and family support
-
Fund staff training and
-
Make healthcare premises friendlier and more welcoming places
All of this is above that which is provided from statutory NHS budgets.
A Memorandum of Understanding and Deed of Understanding between the Charity and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust ensures that there is a shared understanding of how the Charity meets its charitable objects.
Board of Trustees
The Charity is governed by a board of trustees, a majority of which must be independent of the NHS Trusts which the Charity supports. The Board of UHCW NHS Trust has the right to nominate 4 Trustees to the Charity’s Board. Independent Trustees are recruited through an open and competitive recruitment process. Trustees serve for an initial period of three years, which may be renewed for further terms.
Page 21 gives a list of current trustees and those who resigned during the year.
The trustees also serve as directors of the Company limited by guarantee. The Board meets quarterly, and such other times as may be required to transact the business of the Charity
Staff
The day-to-day management of the Charity, governance, grant making and fundraising is delegated to the UHCW Charity Director, supported by the Charity team. The UHCW Charity Director provides regular reports to the Trustee Board and meets regularly with the Chair.
~~16~~
The Charity staff are supported by two regular volunteers, who together donate an average of 6 hours a week. The volunteers assist with administration.
Financial responsibilities
The financial responsibilities of the Charity are managed by the Finance Department of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust; including the preparation of month-end fund statements and year-end financial accounts; and quarterly reports to the Trustee Board on the performance of the investments’ portfolio and financial performance of the Charity. The cost of this service is re-charged to the Charity.
Fund structure
All donations received by the Charity are allocated to an appropriate restricted or unrestricted fund depending upon the donor’s wishes. Where there is an express wish of the donor that donations must only be used for a specific purpose, these are placed in a restricted fund. However, where the donor expresses a wish or a preference but without imposing any trust, the funds are placed in a designated fund for that purpose or where appropriate a general purposes fund. The Charity always seeks to spend designated funds on the purpose for which they were given but reserves the right to use them for alternative purposes if no suitable use is identified.
In addition to the funds related to the services provided by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, the Charity also manages all of the charitable funds that support Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.
The funds are overseen by Fund Advisors. The majority of Fund Advisors are key clinicians in the two NHS organisations and are best able to advise the Trustee Board on how the donations can be most effectively spent.
Grant making policy
Any staff member can apply for a grant. All grant applications must be supported by a Fund Advisor. A grant request up to £5,000 requires the approval of the Charity Director. Between £5,000 - £19,999 the approval of the Charity Chair is required and £20,000 and above, applicants are invited to present their case to a meeting of the Board, whose approval is required.
Reserves policy
The Charity’s unrestricted free reserves are held in readily available Bank accounts and Investment Funds managed by professional advisers. These funds are available to be spent on the charitable purposes of the Charity and are not regarded as part of the permanent capital of the organisation beyond the sum required to comply with this reserves policy.
As a grant-giving charity the organisation’s aim is that income received by the Charity should be spent effectively and promptly in accordance with the funds’ objectives. The Trustees aspire to giving grants to a value each year at least equal to the income received. The corollary of this is that should charitable income be reduced then there is sufficient cash in reserves to continue to award grants at the current rate for a considerable period of time.
~~17~~
Therefore, as a reserves policy, the Trustees aim to retain an amount equal to between one and two years of operating expenditure, which is predominantly staff salaries and related overheads, before the grant-giving potential is jeopardised. This is a sum of between £300,000 and £600,000.
At the current time total unrestricted free reserves are significantly more than this requirement standing at £3,925,000 at 31 March 2022 and, as stated, are available to be awarded by way of charitable grants. The Charity held no endowment funds at the start of the year and nor did it receive or create any during the year.
Investment policy
The Board’s investment strategy is to maximise the level of investment income whilst at the same time maintaining (or increasing) the capital investment value of the underlying investments in real terms. Achieving an appropriate balance between these objectives requires subjective judgement and professional advice which is obtained from CCLA.
The Charity currently invests mainly in the Common Investment Fund (COIF) managed by CCLA Investment Management Limited.
The Board has also agreed an ethical investment policy which precludes investments in the direct processing and/or manufacture of tobacco products or armaments, as these are not felt to be in accordance with the Charity’s purposes and objects.
The total value of the investment portfolio at 31 March 2022 is £3,226,000. Gross income from investments is used to help defray operating costs of the Charity. The Trustees receive quarterly reports on the performance of the investment portfolio and continue to review the investment strategy regularly to ensure that the available return is maximised.
Going concern
The Board of Trustees has reviewed UHCW Charity’s activities, financial position and risk management policy together with factors likely to affect future development, including the impact of economic uncertainty on voluntary income. The financial impact of coronavirus was central to these assessments. Our Trustees have concluded that, with agreed adjustments to our fundraising plans, which include incorporating social distancing measures and rescheduling or adapting fundraising events, and with ongoing financial risk management, it is reasonable to expect UHCW Charity to have adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be adopted in preparing the financial statements.
Audit
Crowe U.K. LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office, and will be reappointed for the next financial year in accordance with section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006 unless the company receives notice under section 488(1) of the Companies Act 2006 .
~~18~~
Risk statement
During the year, the Board reviews the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. Significant areas of risk for the Charity are falls in fundraising and investment income and high commitments in respect of expenditure. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on fundraising income as events have been cancelled or postponed due to restrictions. The impact has been mitigated by the Charity by applying to grant making bodies, such as NHS Charities Together, for funding.
These risks are further mitigated by the Charity maintaining a varied investment portfolio which includes wider range investments, narrower range investments and bank deposits; having sufficient cash resources to meet its immediate commitments; only committing expenditure once resources are secured; and by having an active fundraising team to generate new additional resources in the current uncertain climate.
The Board is also aware that the Charity needs to safeguard its credibility as being beneficial to the local community and endeavours to ensure that the name of the Charity is not linked to any inappropriate fundraising or similar activities and that its conduct is strictly in accordance with its charitable objects, charitable law, and the requirements of the Charity Commission and the Fundraising Regulator.
Trustee Indemnity Insurance
The Charity purchased Trustee indemnity insurance during 2021/22 which provides cover up to £1million.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities in Respect of the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements
Under charity law, the Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the Charity’s excess of income over expenditure for that period. The Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with FRS 102 (the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland).
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Trustees:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its activities.
The Trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the Charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Charity at that time, and to enable the Trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that Act. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its 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; and
-
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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
~~22~~
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to 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 our audit
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
~~23~~
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 22 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 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 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks,
~~24~~
including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Employment legislation and Taxation legislation.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
~~25~~
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 we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Charity Information
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity (the Charity) is a Charity registered in England and Wales (Charity number 1165393) and a company limited by guarantee, registered in England & Wales (Company number 09981080). Its registered office and principal place of business is University Hospital, Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry, CV2 2DX.
Its principal activity is working to make things better for patients, their families and the staff who treat them by providing funding for important equipment, pioneering research and all the important extras that makes the care so special.
1.2 Accounting Convention
a) Basis of Preparation
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are presented at fair value.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
b) Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. In reaching this conclusion, the trustees have specifically considered the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus and the current UK economic challenges (including the recent significant rise in the cost of living) with particular reference to the impact on income, grant requests, expenditure commitments (mainly staffing) and the value of the Charity's investments. The trustees believe that the Charity has sufficient reserves to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months, even without further incoming resources.
The Charity's investments have continued to provide good returns and although they have fallen in value since the year end, the trustees believe that the significant cash balances held by the Charity mean that these investments will not need to be disposed of in the foreseeable future. Finally, grants awarded are fully in the control of the Charity and will only be funded if there are sufficient resources available.
1.3 Transfer of Assets from University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust Charity
In March 2014, the Department of Health published a paper entitled “Review of the regulation and governance of NHS charities”. This provided NHS charities with the option to transfer their assets to new wholly independent charities regulated solely by the Charity Commission.
The University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust decided to convert its linked charity, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust Charity, to independent status by the creation of an entirely new organisation; the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity.
It was agreed by a "Deed of Understanding" that the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust Charity would transfer all of its assets (and liabilities) to the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity on 1st April 2016.
1.4 Structure of Funds
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose for which a fund may be used, the fund is classified in the financial statements as a restricted fund.
Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. The Charity does not have any such funds.
~~30~~
UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds and include funds which are not legally restricted but which the trustee has chosen to earmark for set purposes (designated funds). The major funds held as restricted are disclosed in note 22.2, and those that are unrestricted but designated are shown in note 22.3. The Charity has no endowment funds. 1.5 Incoming Resources a) General All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three factors can be met: i) entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or the Charity's right becomes legally enforceable; ii) high probability - when it is more likely than not that the incoming resource will be received; iii) measurement - when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability: b) Legacies Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or when the receipt of the legacy becomes probable. The receipt of a legacy is probable when: i) The representatives of the estates have confirmed that probate has been granted ii) It has been ascertained by the executors that sufficient assets are available in the estate to pay it iii) All conditions attached to it have been met or are within the control of the Charity. If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset (note 24) until all of the conditions for income recognition are met. 1.6 Resources Expended a) General All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met: i) There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event ii) It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement iii) The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
b) Grants payable
Grants payable are payments made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds held on trust, primarily relief of those who are sick. Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payment have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment.
A constructive obligation arises when the Charity: i) Has communicated its intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant
ii) Has made a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant iii) Has established a pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that it will honour its commitment.
The trustees have control over the amount and timing of grant payments and consequently where approval has been given by the trustees and any of the above criteria have been met then a liability is recognised. Grants are not usually awarded with conditions attached. However, when they are then those conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised.
~~31~~
UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
Where an intention has not been communicated, then no expenditure is recognised but an appropriate designation is made in the appropriate fund. If a grant has been offered but there is uncertainty as to whether it will be accepted or whether conditions will be met then no liability is recognised but a contingent liability is disclosed.
c) Allocation of overhead and support costs
Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include staff costs, administrative expenses, finance and accounting services, internal and external audit costs and IT systems/support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis and are analysed in note 11.
d) Fund raising costs
The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the Charity and include staff and expenses related to fundraising activities and fees paid to external fundraising advisors.
Fundraising costs exclude those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities and the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the Charity’s objects. Costs of the Charity's investment managers are met from the investments and are not separately identifiable and are not therefore recorded as fundraising costs.
e) Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure therefore include support costs, as shown in note 8.
1.7 Fixed Assets
a) Fixed Asset Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Quoted stocks and shares are included in the balance sheet at mid-market price, ex-dividend; and other investment fixed assets are included at the Trustee's best estimate of market value.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Further information on the Charity's investments can be found at note 15.
1.8 Other Assets and Liabilities
a) Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost, using the first in first out method, and net realisable value (estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell).
b) Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity, and are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the Charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments, usually in 90 day notice interest bearing savings accounts.
~~32~~
UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
d) Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt. Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long term creditors.
1.9 Realised Gains and Losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise and are calculated as follows:
i) Realised gains/losses: difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later)
ii) Unrealised gains/losses: difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later).
----- Start of picture text -----
1 .10 Staffing/Pensions
----- End of picture text -----
The Charity now directly employs all of its staff, with payroll administration outsourced to TGFP. From the 1st of Novemember 2017, the Charity initiated a workplace pension scheme managed by B&CE Holdings Ltd for its staff. The pension scheme is a defined contribution scheme.
----- Start of picture text -----
1 .11 Accounting Judgements and Key Assumptions
----- End of picture text -----
There are no significant judgements that management has made in the process of applying the Charity's accounting policies.
There are no key assumptions concerning the future, nor other key sources of estimation uncertainty which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period
2 Related Party Transactions
Under the Charity's Articles of Association, the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW NHS Trust) has the right to appoint up to four persons to be a director/trustee of the Charity at any one time. During the year, five directors/trustees of the Charity were directors or employees of UHCW NHS Trust, although throughout the year they represented less than 50% of the directors/trustees of the Charity.
UHCW NHS Trust (and its patients) is the main beneficiary of grants made by the Charity which totalled £489,102 in 2021/22 (£570,472 in 2020/21) - although one of those grants related to a project managed by that Trust but delivered jointly with a number of third party partners (not related to the Charity).
In addition, the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT NHS Trust), which itself is classified as a related party to UHCW NHS Trust also received grants during 2021/22 totalling £9,479 (£48,847 in 2020/21).
In addition to making grants to UHCW NHS Trust, the Charity also procures financial accounting and support services from that organisation at a cost of £27,200 including VAT in 2021/22 (£27,200 in 2020/21).
As at 31st March 2022, the sum of £184,816 (£589,352 as at 31st March 2021) was owed to UHCW NHS Trust in respect of grants awarded but not paid, and other costs.
One of the Charity Trustees is the Chief Executive of Adecs Maple, an IT services company with which the Charity has spent £144 for IT support services.
Two daugthers of the Charity's most senior employee have undertaken marketing work/fundraising support work for the Charity for which they were paid a total of £5,636 in 2021/22.
Other than the transactions summarised above, during the year none of the trustees or members of the key management staff or parties related to them has undertaken any material transactions with the Charity.

9 Analysis of Grants
The Charity does not make grants to individuals. All grants are paid to NHS organisations or other organisations to provide care for NHS patients in furtherance of the charitable objectives.
The trustees operate a scheme of delegation for the majority of funds under which fund advisors manage expenditure from those funds in accordance with guidance approved by the trustees.

11 Allocation of Support Costs and Overheads
Support and overhead costs include governance and administrative costs but exclude the direct costs of fundraising activities.
Governance costs are those costs which relate to the strategic and day to day management of a charity.
Support and overhead (including governance) costs are allocated to activities (grant giving and fundraising) on the following basis:
-
a) Governance costs are apportioned between fundraising activities and charitable activities in proportion to the direct costs of grants awarded and fundraising costs incurred
-
b) Costs relating to the administration of grants are charged to charitable activities based upon an estimate of time spent.
Costs are apportioned directly to the appropriate activity where possible, otherwise they are apportioned between activities on an appropriate basis (e.g. time spent)
