**3. STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE PROCEDURES**
## The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Charitable Trust
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees of the CIO currently comprise members of the CSP as well as lay Trustees. The constitution sets out the terms of office for Trustees.
Number of Trustees:
- two Ex-Officio Trustees, i.e. the respective Chairs of the Scientific Panel and the Educational Awards Panel
- up to four Lay Trustees; and
- up to six Trustees from amongst the CSP membership
There must be at least four Trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining Trustee or Trustees may act only to call a meeting of the Trustees, or appoint a new Trustee or new Trustees.
The maximum number of Trustees that can be appointed is as stipulated above. No Trustee appointment may be made in excess of these provisions.
There must be at least two Trustees who are resident in the United Kingdom.
All Trustees, with the exception of the two Ex-Officio Trustees, join the CSPCT Board via an appointment process. All candidates are asked to submit via email, a personal statement which addresses how they can meet all the requirements of the person specification, a CV of no more than two sides of A4, which sets out recent employment and voluntary activity relevant to the role and a covering letter which includes the names of two referees who can comment on their suitability for the role. Candidates should also indicate whether the CSPCT can contact their referees prior to interview, if appropriate.
A sub-panel of three Trustees, to include BOTH the Chair and Vice-Chair where possible (and otherwise at least the Chair OR the Vice-Chair) to form a recruitment panel at each recruitment round.
Each Trustee holds office for a term of 3 years from the date of his/her appointment and is eligible for reappointment for one further term of 3 years, in accordance with the process applicable to new candidates.
Trustees are offered training where it is considered that it will enhance the skill set of the Board or where there is specific training needed. The Board meets three times a year and at these meetings Trustees consider and agree future grant-making activities, investment activities, risk management and operational performance.
CSPCT and CSP are organisations that share similar missions to: develop physiotherapy practice, research and education; enhance the quality of patient experience and outcomes; and raise the profile of both organisations and UK physiotherapy. The entities are legally separate with clear and separate governance arrangements.
As the CIO is a separate legal entity to the CSP, and retains its own control, in the view of the Trustees, consolidated accounts are not required.
Trustees, and the
annual budgets.
## **4. INVESTMENT AND RESERVES POLICIES**
towards closure over a 4 to 5 year period, with the Charity to potentially remain open after that period solely for the administration of any final awarded grant tranches.
towards closure, therefore utilising capital and income to fund grants to applicants in the intervening period, and the administrative costs of the Charity. The Trustees regularly review this policy in light of available funds and committed costs. At 31 December 2023, unrestricted funds totalled £1,271,463. Ongoing grant commitments funded from unrestricted funds totalled £1,210,824. In 2023, administrative costs of £159,715 were incurred, with no significant increases planned during 2024. The reserves position is deemed to be sufficient to cover the immediate commitments, as well as the ongoing running costs towards closure.

level of risk given its needs for funds over the period to closure, by generating a return above inflation over the period to closure. The Trust adopts a total return approach to investment, generating the investment return from income and capital gains or losses. It is expected that if in any one year the total return is insufficient to meet the budgeted grant making expenditure, in the long term the real value of the Trust will still be maintained in accordance with the investment objective above. Investment performance is reviewed annually and returns are compared against the appropriate industry benchmarks.
## **5. RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis, including operational and business risks, and consider that they have established appropriate systems to mitigate the risks identified.
The Trustees consider the largest risk facing the Trust to be the reasonable identification and forecasting of income sources to support its work, in light of volatile investment performance, a suspension of the annual donation received from the CSP, and future annual increases to support costs. The Trustees consider the level of reserves held to be more than adequate to continue the operations of the Trust for the foreseeable future given the very low operating costs and committed costs of the Trust. The Trust will continue to regularly review cash flow forecasts, investment performance and opportunities for new funding sources. The Trust will keep under close consideration the amount of funding it has available to commit to new grant applications when reviewing proposals. The Trustees do not consider there to be any other significant risks affecting the Trust.
## **6. GRANT MAKING POLICIES**
Grants to are made institutions and individuals in two broad categories: education and research.
The beneficiaries of grants awarded are ultimately those who will receive services and treatment from a chartered physiotherapist. Those services may be indirectly or directly provided.
The Trustees seek to invite applications for funding through the following panels: Scientific Panel and Education Awards Panel. Applicants submit proposals to the appropriate panel who then scrutinises the applications against a set of predetermined criteria. Grants are awarded on the basis that applications are robust, fit for purpose and funds as follows:
## **Education Awards Panel**
## **Scientific Panel**
Academically Accredited Courses Award Physiotherapy Research Foundation Award: Pre-Doctoral Award Education and Development Placements Award Conference and Presentation Fund Physiotherapy Research Foundation Award: Post-Doctoral Award
Trustees also consider the funding of projects outside of the current grants they award, which they feel are of merit and which they wish to support in line with their objectives. The Trustees consider these work projects against the
## **7. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CIO**
The CIO seeks to ensure that the work it supports is robust and aids in the prevention or relief of human suffering and the protection or preservation of public health by the advancement of education and research in subjects relevant to the practice of physiotherapy and kindred forms of treatment. The Trustees see dissemination of the

learning and knowledge acquired from any projects they award grants to as paramount to ensuring that this is achieved.
The achievements and performance of the CIO are measured in the following ways:
## **7.1 Research Awards**
For the awards administered through the Scientific Panel, all successful applicants are asked to submit annual and final reports of their work, present their findings at appropriate forums, have their papers published in appropriate journals, and present at the CSP Annual Conference.
In order to comply with registration requirements for randomised controlled trials (RCT) and to maintain a public portfolio of Physiotherapy Research Foundation (PRF) projects, successful applicants undertaking a randomised controlled trial are required to apply for International Standard Randomised Controlled Trials Number (ISRCTN) registration.
For all projects which are prospective trials, it is mandatory that they are prospectively registered with a recognised registry.
## **7.1.1 Physiotherapy Research Foundation Awards**
## _**Completed research**_
- a. Final reports provide information on the projects aims, results, conclusions, future research and their dissemination/publication activities.
- b. Clinical impact and dissemination of information are considered to be indicators of public benefit, resulting from physiotherapy research funded by the Charitable Trust.

## _**Application Writing Support**_
The Education Awards Panel planned and started delivery of further measures designed to provide applicants with support throughout the application process. Applicants have access to a range of online resources in written and video formats, which provide enhanced guidance on using the scoring criteria to produce a good quality submission. The first of a series of webinars was held during the year, giving applicants direct access to members of the awarding Panel and the Awards Administrator for responses to specific questions about eligibility, tips on writing a funding application and processes and procedures. 5 of the webinar attendees went on to apply for awards and were all successful in receiving funding, demonstrating the effectiveness of enhanced writing support.

## **7.3.1 CSP Leadership Development Programme (LDP)**
and the project closed, with a final report being submitted to the CSPCT in November 2023.
No cohorts ran at either HEI (University of Hertfordshire and University of Central Lancashire) as the final portion of CSPCT funding was allocated for evaluation.
Phase one of the evaluation, which was carried out internally, was completed in Q1 2023. This looked at the impact of the LDP on alumni, their careers and the wider physiotherapy profession, and whether there were any differences in experience for alumni who identified as White and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic. Phase one used a mixed-method approach and approximately 16% of those who took part in the LDP responded. A summary of the findings are as follows:
- The overall impact of the LDP on individuals who complete the course, the physiotherapy profession and their patients is considerable and positive.
- The overall experience of completing the course is positive and beneficial in terms of confidence, knowledge, skills and career progression.
- The difference in experience between those who identify as white and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) is significant in some areas and overall has a more positive impact on people who identify as BAME.
- However, awareness overall of the place of EDB
- Very few alumni would have funded themselves through a course like this.

Phase two used CSPCT funding and following a tender exercise, the company Hedway were contracted to evaluate the LDP with the objectives of:
- analysing the impact of the LDP overall on its alumni, their careers, and the wider physiotherapy profession
- -2027 could be progressed
- informing the CSP agenda for advocating for wider changes in the healthcare landscape, including the indirect influence it has via its members and initiatives.
Phase two evaluation also used a mixed-method approach and was sent to 15,000 CSP members. There were 520 responses, of which 61 respondents were LDP alumni.
Some of the findings include:
- Overall, the LDP curriculum as designed in 2017 is a fitting and well-designed product of its time. As evidenced from the survey, most participants rate its effectiveness highly, both in terms of personal
- Members felt formal leadership development is less relevant to achieving personal and organisational aims than other, more targeted leadership development op

Feedback was also collated from the LDP alumni in their end of programme surveys each year. As stated in the CSPCT end of project report, feedback from the alumni showed a high satisfaction rate in the LDP, with 98% saying they would recommend it to a colleague. They reported an increase in confidence, self-awareness, ability to influence and enable change.
In 2023, two alumni online events were held: How to have difficult conversations in the workplace and Leadership of Equity, Diversity and Belonging in the workplace -
An additional award of £67,801 was made in 2023, to provide total funding of £490,435 for this project.

To achieve the primary outcome of the project, the work was separated into four smaller elements, with individual focused objectives. The remaining element that was completed in early 2023 was the Quality Standards Project. The aim of which was to develop some best practice recommendations for the delivery of high-quality multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Deliverables to include a published set of recommendations, underpinned by the vision for Community Rehabilitation (developed as the Consensus statement by Community Rehab Alliance), which will include one version of the rehab prescription, which works across sectors and setting.

The outcome to this project was that the standards were disseminated with presentations and engagement activity with key stakeholders and CRA partners in 2023.
The full standards document, as well as audit tools are available to download via the CSP website, here: https://www.csp.org.uk/professional-clinical/improvement-innovation/community-rehabilitationrecovery/important-reading/standards.
Since being uploaded to the CSP website the webpage containing the standards resources has seen in excess of 5,000 unique views and continues to be rolled out and disseminated through our countries and regional teams.
The contribution that the CSPCT funded has had a measurable impact with the standards being introduced and shared across regions and nations. Its reach is amplified as a result of its co production and the way it reaches across professional and patient groups and has demonstrated the sizable role the physiotherapy profession has leading the movement for rehab.
It has supported multi-disciplinary work with physiotherapy leading the calls for the transformation of rehab in the community.
## **7.3.3 Transforming Quality in Pre-registration Physiotherapy Education**
Following the funding award of £70,456.50 from the CSPCT in August 2023, the project team has worked with the CSPCT Scientific Panel to develop a tender to procure a consultant (individual or group) to conduct multistakeholder research address the project aims & objectives.
This research project will inform the update of the CSP Learning and Development Principles and also identify and propose enhancements to CSP quality assurance processes of physiotherapy education which in turn will impact the design and delivery of pre-registration physiotherapy education in the UK.
The Learning & Development principles form the basis of quality assurance activity within pre-registration physiotherapy education and are a key document to which physiotherapy education programme teams must align to achieve CSP accreditation status.
Following the latest CSPCT Scientific Panel feedback, the tender is due to be launched in February 2024 with the aim of the project beginning in July.
## **7.3.4 Widening Participation**
£11,900 was awarded in 2023 for a pilot award scheme with a twofold purpose:
1) To reduce financial barriers to attending CSP Annual Conference 2023.
2) To widen participation of attendees from groups previously under-represented at conference, including those who self-identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, Disabled or LGBTQIA+
CSP Annual Conference 2023 was held in five locations across the UK for in-person delegates, and as part of increasing accessibility all events could be attended virtually from anywhere.
After promotion in Frontline, our member magazine, our website, via email and to specific target groups, we received a total of 53 applications and our panel awarded financial support to 49 individuals; 23% identified as disabled, 32% BAME and 4% as LGBTQIA+.
As this was a pilot scheme, we set-up new processes to support this award including providing information, ticket booking, travel and accommodation arrangements and processing post-event expenses. We learned that some awardees, specifically those who are disabled, required additional one-on-one support to plan their in-person attendance and facilitate accessibility.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## Year ended 31 December 2023
We conducted a specific evaluation of the award from Nov 23 to Jan 2024 to gain further insight about experiences of the award and views on any future work in this space. The evaluation methods included a survey to all awardees, a series of semi-structured interviews with awardees and a focus group with staff to evaluate processes. Our analysis found recipients viewed the WP award as a positive CSP initiative, it was seen as supportive, inclusive, good value and important. All reported that it had provided them with an opportunity for learning and professional development that they would have not otherwise been able to access. Most awardees highlighted the importance of not having to pay conference costs up-front as claiming back costs was a barrier for those facing financial stress. All recipients wanted to see it continued into future conferences. The application process and booking system were reported to be straightforward by recipients, staff highlighted some process that could be streamlined if it were to run in the future.
## **7.4 Financial Results**
The financial statements show a net decrease in retained funds of £742,478 (2022: £819,714) driven by a planned and budgeted increase in grants awarded over income received. Income increased from 2022 due to improved investment performance - £144,195 (2022: £122,593) was received from dividends, royalties and interest income from cash and investments, and £13,133 (2022: £13,823) was received as a Gift in Kind from CSP. Charitable expenditure included grants authorised of £857,823 (2022: £148,467) and operating and governance costs of £159,715 (2022: £156,068).
The investment portfolio valuation decreased by £392,157 to £4,812,274 (2022: £5,204,431). This decrease was due to the withdrawal of cash to meet ongoing commitments and is offset by an increased valuation at year end 7 to £347,874 (2022: £141,497) due to the cash withdrawal from the investment portfolio.
Total unrestricted funds decreased by £822,082 to £1,271,463 (2022: £2,093,545).
## **8. IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
The assets and liabilities of the CSPCT, registered charity: 279882 were transferred to the CIO at the end of 2022. In 2023 the CIO has continued the work of charity 279882, in line with its own objectives, as set out in this report.
Historically, charity: 279882 was able to maintain its spending from financial reserves and receiving investment income and occasional bequests and legacies from members, member groups and external organisations. In recent years these latter sources of income had dwindled and so the Trustees of the current charity have decided to uphold the decision of the previous charity and will close once all reserves have been utilised.
In the me continue its activities as long as possible, whilst generating capital growth. Investment performance is reviewed annually and returns are compared against the appropriate industry benchmarks.
In 2024, the CIO will look to develop a research strategy for 2025-29, to guide funding in this period.
## **9. FUNDRAISING**
Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. Although we do not undertake widespread fundraising from the general public, the legislation defines fund raising presented in
In relation to the above we confirm that all solicitations are managed internally, without involvement of commercial participators or professional fund-raisers, or third parties. The day to day management of all income generation is delegated to the executive team, who are accountable to the trustees.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## Year ended 31 December 2023
c The charity is not bound by any undertaking to be bound by any regulatory scheme and the charity does not consider it necessary to comply with any voluntary code of practice.
We have received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities. Our terms of employment require staff to behave reasonably at all times; as we do not approach individuals for funds we do not have particularise this to fundraising activities nor do we consider it necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities.
## **10. PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS ON A GOING CONCERN BASIS**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The decision to adopt this basis arises Trustees have undertaken a strategic initiative to transition towards closure over the next five years. The CIO will manage the orderly wind-down of operations, ensuring the fulfilment of outstanding commitments, and the responsible distribution of assets in accordance with the charitable objectives. At 31 December 2023 the CIO has a strong balance sheet to support its operation over the next 2-3 years. The CIO holds significant reserves in the form of its total investment portfolio. A forecasting exercise has shown that these reserves would be sufficient to continue current levels of expenditure in the short term at least until the end of 2025 even with a significant fall in portfolio value.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
## Year ended 31 December 2023
f
## 1. **Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value. In preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as laid down accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charitable Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## **Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The decision to adopt this basis arises from The Trustees have undertaken a strategic initiative to transition towards closure over the next 3-4 years. The CIO will manage the orderly wind-down of operations, ensuring the fulfilment of outstanding commitments, and the responsible distribution of assets in accordance with the charitable objectives. At 31 December 2023 the CIO has a strong balance sheet to support its operation over the next 2 years. The CIO holds significant reserves in the form of its total investment portfolio. A forecasting exercise has shown that these reserves would be sufficient to continue current levels of expenditure in the short term at least until the end of 2025 even with a significant fall in portfolio
## **Donations and other income**
Donations and other income are accounted for when the Trust is entitled to receipt of the funds, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Investment income**
Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the Trust is entitled to receipt of the funds, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Costs of raising funds are accrued on the basis of the terms of the agreement with the fundraising contractor.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust and are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient and any conditions attached to the grant have been met. Grant liabilities are reversed when a recipient confirms that they no longer intend to draw down remaining funds. Grant liabilities are reflected as due within one year or greater than one year based on expected drawdown as set out in grant agreements. Grants offered without condition are reflected when the offer has been agreed by the trustees and conveyed to the recipient. Amounts due within greater than one year are not discounted because the timing element is not enforceable.
Management & Administration costs comprise the costs incurred by the charity in its day-to-day operations. This primarily consists of the costs of CSP sta
objects.
## **Investments**
Investments are included at closing bid-price at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
