OUR IMPACT Our im act in 2022123 From April 2022 to the end of March 2023, we spent £1.332 million on charitabl8 expenditure improving your local NHS hospitals and communty healthcare services. Funding prevention initiatives To mark Falls Preventlon Week in September 2022, the charity supported the Falls Roadshow at KGH. helping to raise awareness around preventing patient falls. This b8n6fitted all byards and departments across the hospital, contributed to staff development and leads to benefits in patiént care. In November, we provided support for a series of activities to mark Pre88ure Ulcer Prevention Awarenesg Week by funding one thousand shatterproof mirror cards. The activities helped to enhance knowledge and awareness among hospital staff. Engagement with staff regarding pressure ulcer prevention directly impacts patient care and prevention on pressure ulcer development. A grant from the charity fvnded a social 8vent at West Lodge Fam Park for thildrèn with Type-2 diabetes. It's important to be able to fund events like this for children with both Type- 1 and Type-2 diabetes, giving the community healthcare teams the added opportunity to educate children in managing their cofidition to prevent adverse side-effects and complications, some that could lead to future hospital admissions. Improving diagnostics in your hospitals Supportlng early detectlon and dlagnosis of heart conditions £101,474 was grantad to NGH for an Echo Machine to support with training specialist registrars and highly specialist cardiac physiologists in the cardiology departrnent. The machine produces very high-quality images, ￿1¢h are essential for early detection and diagnosis of certain condrtions that can sometimes be missed because of the poorer quality images from les5-specialised equipmenl. Speedlng up heart procedures A further £14.000 enabled cardiology at NGH lo wrchase additional li￿nseS allowing muttt'ple users to report on echocardiograms. The additional licenses mean echo reports for inpatients and outpatients will not be hekl up because the department's license is being used by training staff. Reduclng health rlsk8 for patlents wlth limited mobility £28,800 was granted to KGH for an Ergometer e-bike to perfomi stress Echo without the need for medication or Exercise Tolerance Tests (ETh) vthen patients have limited mobility. The Ergometer enables staff to increase a patient's heart rate in a more physiological way Page 9 Hgolth harily

OUR IMPACT wtih a signtficant risk reduction to the patient. This ensures a tirrely diagnosis wiihout unnecessary delays Caused by other diagnosis tests. A grant of £7,700 to KGH bought an MRI conditional wheelchair and trolley to transfer patients to and from thelr new cardiac scanner. The enhanced m(MJel, available thanks to Support from us, affords many more benefits for all patients compared with the standard NHS-funded altematlV8, induding for thos8 wlth limlted mobility. Breaklng the language barrier £16,116 was granted to cardiology at NGH for a one-year trial of "Explain My Procedure.. These are animations to support communication and understarKling of cardiology procedures for patients where English is not their first language. It is available ￿ muKiplé languages includlng, Arablc, Bengali, Hindu, Turkish and Polish. Anwnation8 d88crlbe the procèdures, th8ir benefrts, risks and alternatives in a patient-friendly language. It provides people with the time to better understand the procedure they require. supportlng the Palpltatlons Cllnlc £1,490 furKled 10 x Kardia h8nd-held heart monitors to support patients attending the nur8e- led Cardiology Palpitations Clinic at NGH. Some patients will benefit from 8-lead monltorlng, particularfy those at risk of stroke and other conditions. The mobile device8 enhance the opportunities for diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Helplng chlldron £500 purchased tr4Joks and flash cards to support patients who h8ve been diagnosed with breast cancer. These are for women who have children to help ease the explanations to them at such an emotional and worying time. Enhancing treatments across hospitals and communlty healthcare services Asslsting 'Stitch' the Surgical Robot £110,756 was spent from the Allred Staden Legacy to provkle cutting-edge equipment for use with the new Trust-funded surgical rot#)t in the urology department at NGH. Our grant funded a tespoke surgical table (Trusystem 70QKJdV), vthich enables Its positioning to be easily altered. This leads to incre8sed efficiency and being able to better manage the patyant when requiring optimal 8xposure 8nd access to the target anatomy. It means less time for the patient on the operating tab￿ due to Ihe lime saved having to manually atsr the position of a standard operating table. Consequently, the patienl's time under general anaesthesia may be refjuced. Th• Alrstrgam Ilow System for In robotlc 8urgery P￿e 10 Heallh Cliorily

OUR IMPACT An Airstream Intelligent Flow System was also purchased. This allows for better managernent of complex bleeding during surgery. Consequently, this also means reduction in theatre time and a number of other benefits during surgical procedures. Tralnlng doctors across multipl8 disciplines KGH received a £22,160 grant to buy an ORSIM bronchoscopy simulator to train doctors in anaeslhelics, intensive care. respiratory medicine, paediatrics, and medical simulation, This equipment allows doctors to practi￿ managing difficult airway srtualions in a simulated setting, which helps them gain valuable experience in dealing with these situations across wide range of medical Condit￿n8 in day-to-day clinical practice. The training can18ad to a reduction in the risk of complications from challenging procedures and shorter waltlng tim8S for some procedures. Enhancing care for the elderly Thanks to a £66,000 grant from the Florence Jessie-cleaver Trust, we funded 10 x Reminiscence Interactive Therapy Activities (RITA) equipment for KGH. These can benefil up to 156 elderly patients. many of them with dementia, across seven geriatric wards al any one time. Slaff can provide more P81hgnt-cenlred care that helps reduce agitation, isolation. depression and delirium. Patients engage in meaningful activities and entertainment, tailored to their individual needs and personalities. It helps to reduce anxiety and boredom, improving mood and patient w811being. which can speed up recovery. RITA •qulpm•nt Supportlng •ld&rly pallèiil¥ Emergency Matron, Liz Meeks said..

Helplng people with cancer We provlded fijnding for the annual service and mainlenanr£ of the chemotherapy scalp cooling equipment in the Centenary Wing at KGH. This is a simple treatment that can help prevent hair loss caused by ￿rtain chemotherapy drugs. Proven effective in preventing or reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, allowing faster regr0￿h thus shortening the lime patient is without hair post-treatment and allowing them to get back another level of normalty. When a patient's hair doesn't fall out it means they can keep their diagnosis private, take some control over their treatment and li helps boost their confidence and face treatrnenl more wsitively.

OUR IMPACT Supporting children, young people and babies born prematurely Safespace Cot A Safespe￿ Cot was purchased by Ihe child health department at NGH, funded by £10,668 granl from the charity, to provide a safe sleeping and care space for children with complex needs. ￿en they outgrow a standard cot bed and need to spend lime in the hospital, they only have 8ccess to regular teds meaning their parents or carers feel the need to stay with thèm constantly. Th8 Safespace cot means parenlslcarers Can take much-needed breaks to rest and refuel. It can also be used as a small sensory space for the children on Paddington ward withoul having to rety on always using the ¢hild development cenlres, facilities. This creates more opportunities for complex needs children to experience a sensory environment while being treated in the hospital. Twln Cot There can often be more than one set of twins b8ing cared for in the local neonatal and special care baby units following premature birth at our acute hospitals. A £4,275 grant enabled the KGH unit to purchase an additional Twn Healed Cot, which means that more sets of ￿l￿S can be supported together at any one tlme rather than having to wait.

GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS Risk Management The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified and considered. They have been reviewed and systems established including holding a formal risk register which is subject to rèview on a quarterfy basis by the trustees and includes reference to mitigating actions. ReseNes Policy Th8 Charity principally receives income into the funds from donations and ￿gacles. augmented with active fund raising. This is considered not to be part of the free reserves of the charity, as they are avallable to spend at th8 request of the fund advisors. Wher8 there is a large restricted fund, usually as a result of a legacy, these funds are not considered to fomi part of the reserve value calculation, but will be held until fonnal spending plans are agreed. A¢¢umulaled investment gains are retained as reserves to cover 2 years of chaTty operating costs, whilsl also actsng as a centrally held fund to protect against a fall in investment values equivalent lo 1 OU/0 of the current value of the investment portfolD. The higher of these values is considered as the minimum level of free reserves the chanty should plan lo hold. Investment Strategy The investment funds are pooled, that is. not allocated to specific fvnds but consolidated currently into ￿ portfolios. This reduces the costs of administration, diversifies some of the rlsk in inve8ting and reduc8s necessary balanc88 held in cash. The constitution of the charity pemits the investment of funds, employment of a professional fund-manager, and arr8iigeinei)I for the ii)veslineiiis or olher properly of the CIO lo be held in Ihe name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to thè same condttions as the trustees of a trust are pemiilted to do by the Trustee Act 2000. The trustees when agreeing investment decisions refer to the policy which looks to obtain satisfactory financial returns from investments while seeking to minimise the risk to the capital base of the chaiity. This is considered to be a low-risk approach. There is also a specific limitation that inv8Stm8nts should not be held in companies whose business is mainly or significantly concemed with the tobacco and brewing industry. Partnership Working and Networks NGH, KGH and NHFT are the main beneficiaries of the charty. By working in partnership th the Trusts, t1￿ tharity seeks to use its available funds to best effect. When deciding upon the most teneficial way to use charitable funds, the trustees have regard to the main activities. objectives, strategEs and plans of the Trusts subject to such use m￿tIng the objectives of the charity. Page 33

WEder partnerships are also very important to the charity. Throughout the year working relationships have been foThed with members of the corporate sector, the local community and membership organisation8 as ￿￿11 as individu8ls.

NOTES ON ACCOUNTS The employees who were TUPE transferred to the charity on 1 April 2016 and 1 April 2021 are entitled to remain members of the NHS Pensions Scheme. Details of the benefits payable and rules of the Schemes can be found on the NHS Pensions website at www.nhsbsa.nhs.ukJ ensions. Both are unfunded defined benefit schemes that cover NHS employers. GP practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in England and Walés. They are not designed to be run in a way that would enable NHS bodies to identify their share of the undedying scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, each scheme is accounted for as rf it were a defined contribution scheme.. the cost to the NHS body of participating in each scheme is taken as equal to the contributions payable to that scheme for the accounting period. In order that the defined benefrt obloations recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from those that would be determined at the reporting date by a formal actuarial valuation, the FReM reqUI￿S that'the period be￿een formal valuations shall be four years, wth approximate assessments in intervening years" An outline of these follows.. (11 Accountlng valuatlon A valu8tion of Scheme liability is carried out annually by the scheme actuary (currently the Govemmenl Actuary's Department) 28 at the end of the reporting period. This utilises an actuarial assessment for the previous accounting peri¢>J in ¢oniunction with updated membership and financial data for the cuffent reporting period, and is accepted as providing suitably robust figures for financial reporting purposes. The valuation of the scheme liability as of 31 March 2023, is based on valuation data as 31 March 2022, updated to 31 March 2023 with summary global member and accounting dats. In undertaking this actuarial assessment, the methodology prescribed in IAS 19, relevant FReM interpretats'ons, and the discount rate prescribed by HM Treasury have also b88n used. The latest asses%nent of the liabilities of the scheme is contained in the report of the scheme actuary. which fomis part of the annual NHS Pension Scheme Accounts. These accounts can bc vicwed on the NHS Pensions websit8 and are published annually. Copi•J¥ can also be obtained from The Stationery Office. (lij Full actuarial Lfunding) voluotion The purpose of this valuation is to assess the level of liability in respect of the benefits due under the schemes (taking into account recent demographic experience), and to recommend contribution rates payable by employees and employers. The latest a￿Uarial valuation undertaken for the NHS Pension Scheme was completed as of 31 March 2016. The results of this valuation set the employer contribution rate payable from April 2019 to 20 6% of pensionable pay. The actuarial valuation as of 31 March 2020 is currently underway and wll set the new employer contribution rate due to be implemented from April 2024. In) Taxatlon The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finan￿ A 2010 and therefore it meets the defir)ition of a charitable trust for UK income tsx purpose5.

Irregularities, including fraud, ar8 instances of non-compliance with layts and regulations. We design prO￿dureS in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respéct of irregularlties, including fraud. The charity is subject to laws and regulations Ihal directly and indirectly affect thé financial ststements. Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment il operates within, we determined that the laws and regulations that were most Signifi￿nt included the Charities SORP {FRS 102), the Charities Acl 2022, Employment law and Heamh and Safety regulations. We Considered the extent to which non-compliance with these laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements, including how fraud might occur. We evaluated management's incentwes and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial Statements (including the risk of override on controls), and detèrmined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate accounting entries to improve the charity's resu￿5 for the period, and man8gemenl bias in key accounting estimates. In addition to this, we have also identified the following principal rlsk areas.. Income recognition there are Iwo components to this risk, being revenue completeness and revenue cut-off., Going concem - an area that requires enhanced scrutiny In th8 context of the current challenging economic conditions and uncertainty; Portfolio valuah'on - there is a risk that the carying value of Ihe investment portfolio could be misstated due to changes in market values of shares., Mixed-use property valuation - there is a risk that the carrying value of the investment propety element could be misstated due to an unsuitable valuation- Recognrtion of legacy incom8 there is the risk that legacy income coukl be recognised before it is receNed or before there is sufficient evidencè over the certainty of a future receipt., Allocation of tunds - there is a risk that funds are allocated incorrectly with restrictsd funds used for other purposes., Heritage assets- there is a risk that the valuation of th8 ass8ts held Is not correct and may need to be impaired. Audh procedures perforned by the engagement leam included: Discussions with management and those responsible for legal compliance PrO￿dureS within the charity lo obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity h¢)w the charity complies with that framework, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance vthh laws and regulations and fraud., P48. 61 Heollli riiarity
