## **Report** 

## **Lincoln Dawkin and Nick Eastwood** 

It is our pleasure to present the Annual Report and Accounts for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) Charity for the year to 31st March 2025. 

The charitable objects of the Charity remain unchanged; being to enhance the experience of patients and their families who benefit from the services provided at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. 

Whilst the Charity continues to manage the charitable funds for Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT), we are supporting their move to have their own NHS Charity. 

The Charity awards grants to services and departments to enable them to enhance premises and facilities, purchase equipment and furniture and support research and staff training, all of this at a level beyond that which is provided from the core NHS budgets. This is made possible through the generosity of our supporters, donors and fundraisers who give their time and money to allow us to undertake the work that we do. We would like to thank them most sincerely along with our staff and volunteers who work tirelessly for the benefit of our patients and their families. 

Financially, although there has been a reduction in income following an unusually large legacy the previous year, our grant spending has increased significantly, including our largest ever grant awarded, to purchase a Robotic Surgery system with training console, costing £1.9million. This will enable more of our cancer patients to be operated on with this pioneering technology, keeping the Trust at the forefront of Robotic Surgery in the UK and helping to attract and train leading surgeons in this field. 

More details of how the funds have been used for other areas are shown in the report. These funds are allocated to the different departments, wards and services, under the supervision of fund advisors to the Charity, thereby reflecting the intentions of the donors. 

We are very fortunate to have been chosen, once again, by the Birmingham Irish Cycle Appeal as a beneficiary of their annual fundraising cycle.  This brings their donations to a total of £70,000 and this year they are continuing to support us, raising fund Research at UHCW. 

We continue to be supported by our Board of Trustees, details of which are shown on page 21, with Jerry Gould, formerly vice-chairman of UHCW NHS Trust, recently joining us as an Independent Trustee at our May 2025 Board Meeting. 



We hope that you will continue to support us and thank you for all that you do to make things better for our patients and their families.

## **Review of the Year** 

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity raises and distributes funds for University Hospital, Coventry, the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby and manages the funds for the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust 

The Charity exists to make things better for our staff, our patients and their families, by funding key areas across the Trusts, including; 

- Pioneering medical equipment, to improve diagnosis and enable new treatments to take place 

- Improvements to facilities within our hospitals and buildings and in the external environments, to make these areas better for our patients, their families and our staff 

- Support and training for staff to enable them to provide world-class care for our patients 

## **UHCW Charity Year at a Glance** 

Over the course of 2024-2025, the Charity raised a total of £770,000. Whilst this was significantly lower than the previous year, this was due to a reduction in legacy income which by its nature can vary significantly from one year to another. 

The support of generous individuals, businesses, groups and charitable organisations locally, regionally and nationally, has enabled us to support University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. Donations have been received from individuals including legacies and in memoriam, from community groups and from online fundraising events, charitable trusts and foundations, and from key corporate supporters

## **How You Made Things Better for our Patients** 

## **Da Vinci X Surgical Robot, £1,518,000* and Surgical Training Console, £350,000** 

One in two of us will have cancer in our lifetime. 

This year the Charity awarded its highest ever grant, funding the third surgical robot at UHCW and a training console, which uses minimally invasive surgery to remove cancer tumours effectively and allows our patients to leave hospital after only days, so they can recover quickly where they most want to be, at home with their families. 

Traditional open surgery involves lengthy recovery times, with weeks in Critical Care and months in hospital, along with many months recuperating at home.  There is significant blood loss and a high risk of complications, large dosage pain medication is needed for post-surgical pain for some time, there is a risk of infection and a substantial number of stitches are needed that limit mobility and require frequent changes in dressings. 

When tumours are removed using Robotic Surgery, just three to five tiny incisions are made for probes to be inserted by the surgeon operating the robot and the tumour is removed with minimal blood loss or damage to tissues.  Recovery from this minimally invasive technique involves a short hospital stay, often just a night or two, with healing at home, usually in just a few weeks. 

UHCW NHS Trust is a leading centre for robotic surgery, hosting the International HPB Robotic Surgery Conference.  Our highly trained Proctors train surgeons in robotic surgery throughout the world and the new console enables them to have dual control of the robot, attracting the brightest surgeons to the Trust to learn these ground-breaking techniques.

## **Pressure Sore Relief Positioning Cushions, £18,530** 

340 Ehob wedges and pumps have been provided for the prevention of heel pressure ulcers, The wedges are reuseable and are manually inflated and placed under the patients bed. 

Heel pressure ulcers are one of the highest reported areas of pressure damage and have a psychological, social, and financial impact on both the patient and the Trust. Developing a pressure ulcer increases a 

patient s risk of infection and can lead to amputation and in severe cases, can be fatal. Treatment of Pressure ulcers is estimated to cost the NHS 1.4million per day (Guest et al 2017) and a significant proportion of these are preventable with the right care and interventions in place. 


## **Audio/Visual Entertainment System for MRI Scanner, £27,500** 

MRI scans can be very stressful, particularly for young children and for those who suffer from claustrophobia or have sensory needs.  Around a third of patients move during the scan and 30% of children have to be sedated. This audio/visual system allows patients to listen to and focus on the entertainment of their choice during the MRI scan, resulting in fewer sedations and far fewer repeat scans.  Patients have a far more positive experience, lowering anxiety for those having regular MRI scans as part of their on-going treatment. 



## **Wheelshare Stations, £12,480** 

This year we have continued to fund the two user-friendly wheelchair stations at the main entrance to University Hospital Coventry and at the and 

entrance.  UHCW NHS Trust was the first hospital in the country to install the Wheelshare docking system to allow patients to use a wheelchair for up to 12 hours, free of charge, and has seen an increase in usage each month, helping to make a visit easier by ensuring that a wheelchair is available for their use when they come to the hospital for their appointments

## **How You Made Things Better for our Families** 

## **Arts at UHCW £30,000** 

Arts at UHCW delivers colourful art exhibitions, music and creative sessions for patients and visitors and is completely funded by UHCW Charity each year. The programme consists of two core elements, using visual arts to improve the hospital environment and participatory arts to enhance patient wellbeing whilst in our hospitals. 

4,000 art kits have also been supplied to 


## **MAU Waiting Room Refurbishment £11,330** 

Families can be waiting for their loved ones to be seen for many hours at busy times on the Medical Assessment Unit (MAU).  New chairs, wall art, a water cooler and a TV screen have been provided to improve the waiting room for patients and their families 




**Infographics Board for Critical Care Waiting Room £2,206** When families visit their loved ones in our Critical Care Unit, it can be a daunting experience. 




Their loved one is surrounded by equipment and tubes, with families often feeling overwhelmed. This infographic board was designed with families to 

help them to understand what the various tubes, lines, pumps and alarms are for and how they are helping their loved ones. 


## **Neonatal Outreach Resources £415** 

Our Neonatal Outreach Team have pioneered the support for our parents and their babies who are on oxygen or have a feeding tube, to be cared for in their homes. 


Not only do the team provide care and advice to parents to enable them to look after their premature babies in their family homes, but they also provide group sessions for families to come together and share their experiences and to support each other

## **Research Studies** 

## **Radiology Oncology Research Fellow Funding £60,713** 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancerrelated deaths worldwide (World Health Organisation June, 2023) It has the highest mortality rates among both men and women, and is often diagnosed when the disease is in advanced stages, making it difficult to treat. Radiation therapy is often used to target and destroy cancer cells. Using high energy radiation beams, the treatment is carefully planned in minute detail by our clinical teams and physicists to reduce the side effects that patients may experience in their healthy tissue. UHCW Charity has already funded equipment and improvements in facilities for our patients undergoing radiation therapy to make this experience as comfortable and effective as possible. 




**Dr Raj Shrimali, Consultant Clinical Oncologist, overseeing the work of the Radiology Oncology Research Fellow** 

UHCW is one of the leading centres for the treatment of cancers in the West Midlands. We have provided funding towards the costs of the first year and fully funded the second year of the post of a dedicated Research Fellow in Radiation Oncology. This post is the **first of its kind in the West Midlands** and will conduct original research into radiation treatment and how to make it more effective for lung cancer patients, which will also benefit all our oncology patients being treated with radiation therapy. 

The findings of this 2year study will be shared worldwide, potentially having a 

proven that being treated at a research-active centre like University Hospital Coventry, improves the quality of treatment received, which can result in better outcomes for patients. By conducting this research at UHCW, our radiotherapy patients experience could be vastly improved, as well as improving the knowledge and skills of our oncology team for future patients. 


## **Renal Research £10,000** 

The high demand for kidney transplants and the limited numbers of kidneys available means that clinicians are having to assess those most likely to have the lowest failure risk and those who would live the longest. 

The team have developed a prediction model and are further researching a web application that could aid consultants worldwide in this decision making process

## **Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust** 

New grants totaling £125,656 were awarded across the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust during 2024/25, although this cost was partially offset by the reversal of £61,900 of grants awarded in prior years but not claimed leaving a net new investment at the Trust of £63,756. 

Key projects funded during the year included the following: 

## **Refurbishment of staff areas at various locations £63,959**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Wayside House<br>Brooklands Hospital<br>Caludon Centre<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>













## **Sensory Room refurbishment at Ashby House £25,133** 

The new sensory room provides a safe, therapeutic environment where people with learning disabilities can explore, regulate, and engage their senses in a controlled way, helping to reduce anxiety, agitation, and challenging behaviours. By promoting relaxation, focus, and communication, the sensory room enhances emotional wellbeing and supports personal development, particularly for individuals who struggle to express themselves verbally. For staff, it offers a valuable tool to deliver person-centred interventions that are responsive to each 

aligning with best practice and demonstrates a clear commitment to enhancing the lived experience for our patients.

## **Fundraising in 2024-2025** 

Our amazing supporters have been taking on a variety of charitable activities for the Charity 

## **The Birmingham Irish Cycle Appeal (BICA) £20,000** 




















Once again the Birmingham Irish Cycle Appeal took on another arduous 1000km cycle across the 32 counties of Ireland.  This marked the 25[th] BICA cycle challenge, taking their total raised for good causes in the UK and Ireland to over £1million.  Led by former cancer patient, Joe Argue, the group of business leaders and supporters train together and take care of each other along the arduous route, with 

## **Overseas Challenge £21,000 The Arctic Challenge** 


Our second overseas challenge took place from 23[rd] February to 2[nd] March, with 14 participants each raising spoonsorship for various UHCW Charity funds.  The challenge took place near the Swedish Arctic circle, with the team erecting a teepee in the dark, then sleeping outside in it in freezing Arctic conditions of -19 degrees. 

















The challenge, led by 2 former Royal Marines, involved chopping down trees to make a fire, melting snow to boil for water and learning key survival skills such as foraging, building a shelter from branches and building an ice hole, both of which they then slept in for the night. 




Over £21,000 was raised and fantastic coverage gained across the BBC and local radio, with participants Amie Burbridge (Consultant) and Jo being interviewed live about the experience on BBC CWR.

## **Staff Fundraising Team Medicine take on the Malverns Challenge £8,600** 

Senior nurses and matrons from the Medicine team took on the Malverns Challenge, raising over £8,600 to support the families of those receiving palliative care at the Trust.  This event brought the team together as they trained for their challenge over several months and they took care of each other on the day, helping 

















everyone to get to the finish line. 



The funds raised have been used to provide 


wellbeing packs and pull-out beds for loved ones to sleep alongside those during end-of-life care. 

## **Corporate Supporters** 

We continue to benefit from the kind support of our corporate donors, including MCD (the Midlands Centre for Development), who have chosen to fundraise for the Neonatal Department as one of their charities of the year. 

They also came and decorated the unit for Christmas and brought gifts for staff and parents. 

They have a year of fundraising events planned, across their main Coventry site and Liverpool offices. 















## **Community Supporters** 

We have continued to enjoy extensive support from our community partners, including the wonderful Chris Roddis who has been supporting the Charity for over 25 years. 

This year she joined with our valued supporters at The Millpool Pub, holding a Family Fun Day with the fantastic Pravha band, raising over £ 2,214 for the Haematology ward and the Forget Me Not/Dementia fund

## **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 manages the funds for 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 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 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 at date of signing (one new trustee joined in May 2025). 

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 and Volunteers** 

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 Vice-Chairs.

The cost of 

**18 |** P a g e 



this service is re-charged to the Charity. 

## **Fund structure** 

All donations received by the Charity are allocated to an appropriate restricted or unrestricted 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 £10,000 requires the approval of the Charity Director. Between £10,000 - £29,999 the approval of the Charity Chair is required and £30,000 and above, applicants are invited to present their case to a meeting of the Board, whose approval is required. 

## **Reserves policy** 

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 aim is that income received by the Charity should be 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. 

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 unrestricted reserves designated for the general purposes of the Charity amount to £814,000 at 31 March 2025. In addition, other unrestricted funds which are designated (but not restricted) for specific purposes (or healthcare sites) totaled £2,697,000. All of these funds 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** 

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 

The total value of the investment portfolio at 31 March 2025 is £3,235,000. 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 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** 

HB&O Ltd 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. 

## **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. 

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 2024/25 which provides cover up to £1million.

## **Statement of Responsibilities in Respect of the Annual Report and the Financial Statements** 

Under charity law, the Trustees (who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the 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 website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent** 

## **Report to the Members of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity for the Year Ended 31[st ] March 2025** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable affairs as at 31 March 2025, 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 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 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 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 material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

**23 |** P a g e 



## **Other information** 

The trustees are 

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 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 the audit: 

- the information given in the Annual Report (incorporating the strategic report prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the strategic report and the report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material 

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 accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

**24 |** P a g e 



- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the preparing the report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

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 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. 

## **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 gh level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

The audit process includes an assessment of the entity's risk environment, through enquiry of and discussion with management and those charged with governance, including an assessment of any key laws and regulations with which the charitable company must comply in the ordinary course of its operations. 

Additionally, the overall risks of irregular transactions occurring are assessed following our observations and confirmation of the design and implementation of controls. Whilst we are mindful of these risks, our audit focus is geared towards the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements as a whole. 

As such, our procedures cannot guarantee that all transactions have been fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, including those regulations relating to fraud, as our procedures are not designed to detect all instances of non-compliance. By definition, the risk of our detection of non-compliance is greater where compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY 

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **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 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 provided good returns overall with a mix of dividend yields and long term capital growth.   The capital value of the investments has increased over the last year and continues to fluctuate, 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** 

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 |** P a g e 



UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY 

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (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. 

**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. 

- Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

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.

The above funds have been accepted by the UHCW Charity without trust being imposed and hence are classified as unrestricted. However, the Trustees have determined that the funds will be designated for particular purposes in order to satisfy (as closely as possible) the donors' stated preferences as to how the funds should be expended. 

During 2024/25 the Trustees transferred £1,477,000 (representing the cumulative unrealised gains on investments compared to purchase price at 31 March 2024) to the Trustees Fund from other unrestricted funds.  These gains (and losses) had notionally been allocated across all unrestricted funds at each year end but reversed at the start of the following financial year. Future gains/losses on investments will be allocated to the Trustees Fund.  Trustees believe that this will provide greater flexibility on how funds can be spent.
