## **Structure, governance and management**
The Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity was established by Trust deed and is registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1165788). The charity’s funds were established using the model declaration of trust.
As a body we are a member of the Association of NHS Charities.
All trust funds are registered with the Charity Commission. The Charitable Funds (the Charity) of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) comprise a range of funds under one umbrella registration. Funds are held relevant to individual wards and departments and by specific purpose within those areas. These funds are, within certain delegated limits, available for the staff to expend on items appropriate to the fund concerned in line with the financial procedures laid down from time to time.
Large donations, often received by virtue of a legacy, are managed directly by the Charitable Funds Sub Committee which ensures that the wishes of the donor are met and that expenditures are not at variance to the Trust’s own activities and that, where relevant, investment in new equipment or services is sustainable and supported in future years. Non-Executive Members of the Trustee Board of Directors are appointed by the Council of Governors and Executive Members of the Board are subject to recruitment by the Chairman and Non-Executive Directors of the Trustee Board. Members of the Board of Directors and the Charitable Funds Sub-Committee are not individual Trustees under Charity Law but act as agents on behalf of the corporate Trustee.
All members of the Board of Directors have a responsibility to adhere to the NHS Foundation Trust Code of Governance.
The Executive Director of Finance has a responsibility to highlight to members of the Charitable Funds Committee any changes to charity law and updates from the Charity Commission. These items are circulated to all members and included as an agenda item for the next meeting as they occur.
Acting for the Corporate Trustee the Charitable Funds Committee is responsible for the day to day management of the Charitable Funds. Details of the Trustee’s responsibilities are provided in the statement accompanying the attached accounts for the year.
The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
7
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP);
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, 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 in business.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Trustee confirms that it has met the responsibilities set out above and complied with the requirements for preparing the accounts. The financial statements set out within the annual report have been compiled from and are in accordance with the financial records maintained by the Trustee.
By Order of the Trustee, and those with delegated responsibility
10.01.2024 Chairman....................................................... Date: .....................................
10.01.2024 Executive Director.......................................... Date: ......................................
The accounting records and day to day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Finance Department, NTW Solutions located at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, St Nicholas Hospital, Jubilee Road, Gosforth, NE3 3XT.

## **Consolidation of accounts with Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust**
In accordance with NHS Improvement’s Annual Reporting Manual 2022-23 and the Department of Health Group Accounting Manual (DH GAM), where an NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee to an NHS Charitable Fund, the NHS Foundation Trust was required to consider whether the accounts of that charitable fund represent a subsidiary. This is likely to be the case where the NHS Foundation Trust both:
- Has control over the NHS Charitable Fund, i.e.
- Controls the majority of the voting rights in the entity;
- Has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity; and
- Has the power to appoint or remove directors at meetings of the board and;
- Benefits from the NHS Charitable Fund.
Based upon the above it was considered Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds represented a subsidiary of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.
The Trust has prepared consolidated group financial statements for 2022/23 for the Trust and its subsidiaries including the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity.
## **Risk management**
The Trustee, in reviewing risks appropriate to the charitable activities, places reliance upon the risk management review carried out by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust and the overall internal control arrangements within the Trust.
The Trust’s internal auditors include Charitable Funds in their annual plans and their findings, which include an assessment of risk, are reported to the Trustee via the Trust’s Audit Committee.
## **Partnership working and networks**
Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust is the main beneficiary of the charity and is a related party by virtue of being Corporate Trustee of the charity. By working in partnership with the Trust the charitable funds are used to best effect. When deciding upon the most beneficial way to use charitable funds the Corporate Trustee has regard to the main activities, objectives, strategies and plans of the Trust.
9
## **Public benefit statement**
Public benefit, as defined by the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees can report that the two key principles that underpin ‘public benefit’ have been met:
- There is always an identifiable benefit or benefits and these are apparent from the contents of the Annual Report and are all related to the aims of the charities; and
- There is a benefit to the public or a section of the public. The beneficiaries are appropriate
- as laid down by the aims of the various charities and there are no unreasonable restrictions. It is recognised that the Trustee exercises a discretion in deciding upon who will benefit from the charities but that this is permissible under the aims and objects of the charities concerned and the beneficiaries constitute a ‘section of the public’ and therefore this is a reasonable exercise of that discretion. The aims and objects of the Charity are contained in the charity’s scheme. The Trustee confirms that they:
- Ensure that they pursue the aims and objects of the various charities for the public
- benefit, as defined by the Charities Act 2011
- Have proper regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of
- the subject of public benefit; and
- Confirm that this Annual Report provides sufficient information as to the ways in which
- the public benefit is achieved.
## **Independent examination**
The Charity’s Trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is required as a lower-income charity. An independent examination has been carried out by Mazars LLP for the financial statements for 2022/23.
10
## **Objectives and activities**
The Charity’s purpose is as follows:
“The funds held can be used for any charitable purposes relating to the general or specific purposes of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust or purposes relating to the National Health Service”
Typically the purpose of the funds is to benefit the public through its support for current and former service users of the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust. The funds provide items of comfort for patients or therapeutic activities beyond the normal levels expected for patient welfare and amenities. The funds held relevant to individual wards and departments are often raised by the staff and friends or are from small donations given by patients and relatives in gratitude for the care they have received. These funds are available for the staff to expend on items appropriate to the fund concerned in line with the financial procedures laid down from time to time.
The largest bids for the year were for the Young People’s Units, Ferndene, Alnwood and Lotus unit to enhance and improve patient experience by providing sessional workers, activities, and activity equipment.
- Castleside, elderly ward purchased an ActivTouch digital tablet which is an interactive activity table and is designed to offer games and keep minds active.
- We funded a Micro Recovery college for South of Tyne locality.
- Willow View, rehabilitation ward received a new pool table, and several wards were able to purchase BBQs and pizza ovens to enable outdoor activities throughout the hot summer of 2022.
- Monkwearmouth elderly wards, Cleadon, Roker and Mowbray used their funds to purchase extra comfort chairs for their patients.
- The community memory team in the Cumbria locality received funding to purchase therapeutic resources for their teams in Workington and Carlisle.
- Two wards used their funds to purchase annual tickets for Beamish to enable patients to enjoy outdoor visits.
- Our charity provided funding to enable all inpatients to receive a gift on Christmas day.
- The Charitable funds Committee continued with its policy of rationalisation of the funds held on Trust to promote clarity of purpose and by actively publicising the availability of all legacies to ensure expenditure to date as appropriate.

## **A review of our finance, achievements and performance**
Total incoming resources amounted to £72,043.22. The charity continues to rely on donations, legacies and investments income as the main sources of income. Income comprised: funds raised by staff, relatives, friends and other donations £46,024 and investment income £26,019.
Of the total expenditure of £108,165, charitable expenditure for patient welfare and amenities was £84,145, management and admin costs of £17,883 and fundraising event costs of £2,276.
The net assets of the Charitable Funds as at 31 March 2023 were £974,571.99. Further details are provided in the annual accounts and notes.
## **Reserves policy**
The policy of the Trustee is to spend charitable funds and not allow funds to accumulate. The policy states that fund holders need to balance the interests of present and future beneficiaries of the fund. Expenditure plans should ideally aim to spend a minimum target of 10% of the fund per annum and raise funds equal to 10% of income per annum.
The Trustee considers that it should be the aim to hold sufficient reserves to be able to provide funds to meet charitable expenditure as it is incurred and to review the position on an annual basis. Access to the funds is encouraged so that cash is used often to provide benefits to the current and former service users of the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust. It has not yet been considered necessary to hold a set amount in reserves as in many instances the minimum spend targets are not yet being met.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Trustee reviews the spending priorities for each fund quarterly at the Charitable Funds SubCommittee meetings and fund holders are regularly notified of balances.
Charitable fund activity will be consistent with the Trust’s business plan and be set against identified corporate objectives.
Future plans for the coming year include planning the expenditure of Stage 3 Distribution of the NHS Charities together application and proposed expenditure and the appointment of a Fundraiser for the Charity.
## **Going concern**
The Charity’s Trustee has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate fund balances to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
This expectation is based upon fund balances as at the 31st March 2023 of £974,571.99 with minimal future liabilities and commitments.

“Being able to cycle whilst in hospital has helped with my confidence and I feel free when I’m using the bike – thank you.” Patient at Walkergate Park.
“Thank you to the SHINE fund for giving the community allotment support. It makes a big difference in my life and allows me to meet other people every week and feel part of the community.”
Feedback from patient in community forensic services.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity**
I report on the financial statements of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 19 to 31.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, which is complete, no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **Notes to the accounts**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at their fair value.
The Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity is a public benefit entity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view.’ This departure has involved following Accounting and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities : Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties or key risks affecting the current year’s accounts.
## **1.1 Funds structure**
The Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Charity is a UK Charity registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1165788). The Charity was formally established on 1st April 2016.
The Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity has both restricted and unrestricted funds but has no endowment funds. The charity has specific funds for certain service areas which have specific objectives and purposes and are classified as unrestricted designated funds. If a general donation is made and no specific area is identified then the monies are paid into the the SHINE Fund which is used for the general benefit of services users and former service users of the Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust at the discretion of the Trustees. The major funds are disclosed in note 9.
## **1.2 Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where there are terms and conditions attached to the incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms and conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms and conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown in the balance sheet as deferred income.
22
## **Notes to the accounts (continued)**
## **1.2.1 Legacies**
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.
Receipt is probable when:
- Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted
## **1.3 Resources Expended and Irrecoverable VAT**
All expenditure has been 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:
- The executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and
- All conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity's control.
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 until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.
- There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event
- It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement
- 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
## **1.3.1 Expenditure on Raising Funds**
Expenditure on raising funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in under expenditure on charitable activities. These costs include expenses for fundraising activities.
23
## **1.3.2 Expenditure on Charitable Activities**
Expenditure on charitable activities comprise all the 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 include an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 4.
