TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees of the Charity present their annual report and Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Governing Document, Objectives, Activities for the Public Benefit

The Charity was created by the registration on the 28th August 2019 of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) as the Friends of Faversham Cottage Hospital and Community Medical Centres (''The Friends'') The Objects being for the public benefit, the relief of sickness and the preservation and protection of good health among the patients of the Faversham Cottage Hospital and the Community Medical Centres. On the 1st January 2020 it took over the net assets and activities of The Friends of Faversham Cottage Hospital and Community Health Centres registered charity number 265642.

Organisation Structure

The Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees (''the Trustees'') which meet at least four times a year. The Trustees of the charity are listed on the legal and administrative page.

The Trustees are constantly looking for new people to join the Board who are willing volunteers and are happy to devote their time and skills to the Friends.

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees have met regularly during the year under the chairmanship of Alison Reynolds and have been very busy in discussion with a new volunteer, Jill Hunt, on ways to improve our marketing. We have had improvements to our website and the development of a new leaflet as a marketing tool, is in progress.

Our fundraising activities have been limited during the year but we have had our successful winter raffle and a collection at Macknade. A full list of fundraising events is shown in note 3. We have responded to a variety of requests for financial help towards improvements at the two medical centres, We were sorry to hear of the departure of the Matron at the Cottage Hospital Annette Martin but look forward to welcoming a new Matron in 2024.

Trustees attended the official opening of the Ophthalmic clinic at Faversham Medical Centre and were able to see the new consulting rooms which we have helped to equip. The Trustees also received a demonstration of the new triage equipment which we have agreed to assist in funding over a period of 3 years. We have also agreed to fund new bariatric equipment at Newton Place GP practice. We have agreed in principle to assist Newton Place with the installation of a lift in the building to assist patients but the practice is still exploring the feasibility of this.

Details about the expenditure made so far can be found in note 10.

The Trustees attended the retirement party for the Chaplain, Ros Parrett at the Community (Cottage) Hospital. Ros has been Chaplain for many years and will be missed. We have tried to find a replacement without success.

Trustees are in discussion with Faversham Medical Practice and NHS Property Services about providing a Defibrillator and Blood Control Box on an exterior wall at the surgery, to form a out of hours medical hub.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Publicity and Membership

We continue to raise awareness about The Friends wherever we can and are happy to receive any new ideas or support in this. We joined the Faversham Medical Practice in organising the publicity for the official launch of the new eye clinic but we, and the Medical Practice were disappointed, not to get any articles in the local press.

Total membership as declined to 111 in the year. This reduction in membership is a key risk for the charity and this is reflected in our Risk Register. The Trustees are most grateful to our Membership Secretary Mrs Sally Robertson for all she does in keeping membership records updated.

The annual subscriptions remained at £5 during the year.

Fund Raising Activities

Thanks to the efforts of Trustees, particularly our Vice Chair, a number of successful fund-raising events took place, including craft stalls and a winter raffle. We continue to look for fundraising ideas especially in the summertime and Christmas period. Details of amounts raised can be found on page 7 and on note 3.

Equipment, Amenities and Capital Purchases for the Hospital and Health Centres

The total amount spent or committed in 2023 on capital items was £33,192 Full details of expenditure is shown in Note 10. The most expensive item was a substantial contribution to Triage equipment at the Faversham Medical Practice. The Friends continue to welcome bids from the Community (Cottage) Hospital and both Health Centres.

Financial Review

Income for the year was £112,654 (2022 £38,555) whilst total expenditure came to £39,295 (2022 £71,274) which resulted in a surplus for the year of £73,359(2022 deficit £132,719). In addition the Charity had a realised and unrealised capital gain of £8,102 (2022 Loss £47,704) on its investments. Full details of the income and expenditure can be found on page 7

Reserves Policy

With the creation of the CIO, the Trustees took the opportunity of reviewing their reserves. The population of the town is expanding and the trustees believe there will be increasing demands on our reserves in future years to reflect this expansion. As reserves have increased significantly during the last few years, it was decided during 2020 to move £250,000 to a designated fund for future generations called the Joan and Martin Burns Fund. During 2021, the Friend's received the cash from another significant legacy and decided, as interest rates continued to be historically low, to invest a further sum with our investment managers as part of our general reserves. The trustees do however continue to look for projects that are needed now for the benefit of the people of the town. The Friends are only able to donate equipment and services that are requested by the Faversham Cottage Hospital and Community Health Centres and accordingly will maintain reserves to enable all suitable requests to be met. The Friends have one restricted fund, see note 11, and all restricted income is allocated to suitable expenditure as soon as it occurs. The Friends funds are held in interest bearing bank accounts and a discretionary portfolio maintained by investment manager Evelyn and Partners.

Since being re-formed in 1973 the Friends have provided equipment and services to the hospital and health centres for the benefit of Faversham residents to the value of over £1,270,000.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Risk Policy

The Trustees have considered what risks the Friends are subject to and consider that all major financial risks are insured by virtue of our membership of Attend, the Umbrella Organisation for Hospital Friends, insurance cover. Other risks facing the Friends (including governance, membership and trustee resources) are identified in our risk log which is reviewed at least annually. The decline in membership remains a key risk area as does the increasing move away from cash transactions affecting our collection activities. If we are to be able to carry on our work we must raise our profile, especially highlighting the support we provide to the extremely busy and well regarded Urgent Treatment Centre.

Public Benefit

The Trustees are aware of and comply with the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit.

Plans for the Future

We continue to support both medical centres with their plans for growth during 2024, resulting in enhanced and additional services being available in the town and we confidently expect to receive further requests for financial assistance from them during the years ahead. Similarly, we expect regular requests for assistance from our hospital, both to support the vital rehabilitation and recuperation work they do to keep people out of acute hospital, and to help them to provide a good quality of life for the increasing number of their patients with dementia.

We must continue with our fund raising activities, which also helps us to ensure that the successful work of the charity is highlighted throughout the town. We recognise that the charity has thus far benefited from some significant legacies in addition to our more general fundraising. It is vital that we increasingly use social media, in addition to more traditional avenues, to raise our profile so that we continue to attract new funding for the benefit of all the health services in the town including the busy Urgent Treatment Centre.

Our key responsibility then is to ensure that funds raised are spent in a timely and efficient way and always within the terms of our charitable objectives.

Growing and strengthening our Board of Trustees is key to delivering on these duties and this will again be a key priority during 2024.

Trustees' responsibilities in financial statements

The Charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees' 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 Trustees 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. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Governing Document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Friend's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

We thank all those who have given their time and support over the year in helping us to achieve the aims of the Friends.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRIENDS OF THE FAVERSHAM COTTAGE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTRES

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Friends of the Faversham Cottage Hospital and Community Medical Centres CIO (the CIO) for the year ended 31st December 2023

Responsibilities and basis of report

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statements

My examination was carried out in accordance with applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts 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, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met; or

2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

b) Incoming resources

Income recognition policies

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all the following criteria are met:

Incoming resources with related expenditure

When incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported in the SOFA.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

c) Resources expended

All resources expended are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Support costs are those costs which have not been directly allocated to an activity of the charity but nevertheless support those activities. These costs have been allocated between Charitable activities and Governance costs. The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 4

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity.

e) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

g) Stock

This is valued at the lower of cost or market value.

Designated Funds

Joan and Martin Burns Fund

This Designated Fund was created by the Trustees and represents the amounts received from the Estate of the late Joan Burns. The Trustees intend to accumulate net income and investment returns

The Trustees intention is that the fund be used for future capital projects and that the fund will not be depleted by restricting annual expenditure from the fund to £100,000. In the past three years the Trustees have approved grants on three major capital expenditure projects from general reserves without the need to withdrew funds from this reserve. The Trustees will though continue to carefully monitor the situation .
