TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees of the Charity present their Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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 Charity.

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees have continued to meet regularly under the chairmanship of Alison Reynolds and worked with our volunteer Jill Hunt to improve our marketing. Despite some delays due to volunteer and trustee availability, we have agreed the text of our new leaflet and made further improvements to our website. Thanks to the work of our Vice Chair Sue Grove we now have an excellent large notice board at Newton Place Surgery.

The Charity had several successful fundraising events during the year, including a Summer Sale and our popular Xmas raffle when, despite challenging weather, we made over £600. The Charity were again well supported by The Elephant Public House's raffle and some very effective fundraising on our behalf by Park Fish Bar who raised over £2,000 on our behalf. Many thanks are owed to these and our many other supporters. 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, including mobile BP machines and a digital cardio scanner. Details of grants made in the year can be found in Note 9. We welcomed Jenny HyattGipson the new Matron at the Cottage Hospital in 2024 and look forward to working closely with her during 2025

In partnership with Faversham Rotary and NHS Property Services, The Charity provided a Defibrillator and Bleed Control Box (for out of hours emergency help after a knife or similar incident).

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

Trustees met with our Investment Manager in October who was very helpful and informative in describing and explaining our investment strategy.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Publicity and Membership

The Trustees continue to raise awareness about The Charity wherever they can and are happy to receive any new ideas or support in this. After a considerable amount of work by our Vice Chair Sue Grove, and in partnership with NHS Property Services, we provided a Defibrillator and Bleed Control Box (for out of hours emergency help after a knife attack or similar incident). This Bleed Control Box, the first to be installed in the county, was installed outside Faversham Medical Practice. The equipment is the initiative of a charity ‘Project Youth’ who are spearheading box installations across the country. Many thanks are due to The Rotary Club of Faversham who funded 50% of the cost of the defibrillator and the associated wall plaque.

An official opening, co-ordinated by our volunteer Jill Hunt, was very well received and was attended by the Mayor, health and community police representatives and Project Youth workers including founder member Carl Scott. The launch was reported in Faversham News on November 7th 2024.

Total membership continues to decline and this reduction in membership is a key risk for the charity and this is reflected in our Risk Register. In response to this Trustees agreed to amend our Conflict of Interest Policy to allow us to invite representatives of the Health Centres and Hospital to join our Board during 2025.

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 a Summer Sale and Winter Raffle. Trustees continue to look for fundraising ideas especially those that reach out to younger residents. Details of amounts raised can be found on page 7 .

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

The total amount spent or committed in 2024 on capital items was £7,873 Full details of expenditure is shown on page 13 in Note 10. The Charity continue to welcome bids from the Community (Cottage) Hospital and both Health Centres.

Financial Review

Income for the year was £19,427 following a write back of £546 in respect of a legacy.(2023 £112,654) whilst total expenditure came to £15,944 (2023 £39,295) which resulted in a surplus for the year of £3,483 (2023 £73,359). In addition the Charity had a realised and unrealised capital gain of £26,694 (2023 £8,102 on its investments. Full details of the income and expenditure can be found on page 7

Achieving best value from our reserves

With the creation of the CIO, the Trustees took the opportunity of reviewing their reserves. The population of the town is expanding and the tTustees 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 and 2024.the Charity received the cash from another two significant legacies and decided, 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 Charity is 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 Charity has 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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achieving best value from our reserves (continued)

Since being re-formed in 1973 the Charity has provided equipment and services to the hospital and Health Centres for the benefit of Faversham residents to the value of over £1,276,000.

Risk Register

The Trustees have considered what risks the Charity is 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 Charity (including governance, membership and trustee resources) are identified in our risk log which was reviewed and updated in December 2024. 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.

Policies

Trustees have agreed to review our policies on a rolling programme. The Conflict of Interest Policy was reviewed and amended in February 2025. Policies include: Grant Giving, Investment, Finance, Membership, Safeguarding and Conflict of Interest.

Public Benefit

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

Plans for the Future

The Charity continue to support both Health centres with their plans for growth during 2025 and in particular wish them well in their new partnership, to be developed and implemented during 2005/6. They intend together to provide enhanced and additional services for the town and the Trustees confidently expect to receive further requests for financial assistance from them during the years ahead. Similarly, the Trustee 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 The Chariy expects that the greater involvement of our beneficiaries in the consideration of grant applications overall will help us to deliver on this objective.

Growing and strengthening our Board of Trustees is key to delivering on these duties and this will again be a key priority during 2025.

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.

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 2024

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:

a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; b) follow the procedures laid down in the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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:

1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

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.

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 four 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 .
