TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Objectives and Activities

The Association’s purpose (principal activities) as set out in its constitution dated 1 November 2016 is to promote and protect good health for the public benefit by promoting the efficiency of the National Health Service (NHS) across the UK, through:

• a) Education and training of purchasing and supply personnel and purchasing and supply management relating to its duties in supporting the delivery of healthcare services in order to support NHS stakeholders in delivering the best quality and most cost-efficient healthcare: and

• b) Undertaking or commissioning and publishing the beneficial results of research or best practice case studies in related subjects.

In furtherance of the charity objectives, it may:

• a) Facilitate a network for the sharing of knowledge and best practice.

• b) Deliver education and learning events.

• c) Improve quality, excellence, and cost efficiency.

• d) Consult with partners.

• e) Act as the profession’s principal advisor for national bodies.

The trustees review the aims and objectives each year. This review looks at what the charity achieved and the outcomes of its work in the previous period. The review helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in panning our future activities.

Structure, Governance and Management

HCSA is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charities Commission.

There are 5 classifications of membership:

• a) Full membership

• b) Honorary members

• c) Retired members

• d) Associate members

• e) Corporate members

The Trustees manage the affairs of the HCSA and may for that purpose exercise all powers of the HCSA. There must be a minimum of three trustees and a maximum of twelve. At the first AGM all the trustees shall retire from office. At every subsequent AGM one-third of the trustees shall retire from office.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no salaries from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The charity is required to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of

Page 2

HEALTH CARE SUPPLY ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

affairs of the Association and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those account, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable policies and then apply them consistently.

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: and

• prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the organisation will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with Charities Act 2011. They are 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.

Reserve policy

The trustees have established a reserves policy of holding a minimum of £175,000 as part of its plans to provide long term support in furtherance of the charity objectives. The reserves held are part of the charity’s 31 March 2022 unrestricted income fund balance of £486,274.

Achievements and performance of the charity and future

One of the charity’s most successful features has been the Annual Conference. This was once again a wellattended and successful event. The Annual Conference has developed its content and reputation over the years and attracted a capacity attendance from members. Representatives from the major care supply companies from across the UK were also in attendance,

The charity also runs a summer school event for training its members.

Financial Review

Income from all activities in the year to 31 March 2022 was £317,302 and expenditure totalled for £241,823 resulting in a surplus for the year of £75,479 compared to be surplus of £88,345 in the year to 31 March 2021.

The event income has reduced year on year as have related costs as a result of the impact of Covid-19 on the activities of the charity.

Close control over costs has been maintained over the year which mean HCSA has weathered the impact of Covid19 well. This is demonstrated by a healthy Balance Sheet with reserves of £486,274 at 31 March 2022 which means the charity is financially strong and well placed to serve our members for the forthcoming year and into the future.
