The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Mission**
The Charity's Mission is to make life better for people in hospital in the communities of Brighton and Hove.
## **Objectives:**
The objectives of the Friends are:
1. To encourage, foster and maintain the interest of the public in the patients and staff and to support the work of the NHS Trusts serving the communities of Brighton, Hove and Newhaven (hereinafter referred to as 'NHS Trusts') by means of voluntary service.
2. To raise and collect funds and to apply them by supplementing in such manner as the Friends think fit the resources available to the NHS Trusts from public funds.
3. To recruit and assist in the recruitment of voluntary workers in and for the Friends and to provide a link between the NHS Trusts and the communities which they serve.
4. To co-operate with all other bodies for the benefit of the hospitals and community services.
5. To co-operate with other Friends of hospitals and other charitable bodies.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals continued with our mission, to make life better for people in hospital.
We help by buying medical equipment, and supporting staff well-being, but our main focus is on our projects which aim to help patients, their families and those treating and caring for them.
Small Acts of Friendship, our programme to help patients keep their well being and dignity in hospital, started in one elderly care ward five years ago.
In 2024 it was offered in eight wards in The Royal Sussex County Hospital, with a team of 16 volunteers, and was extended to the Newhaven Rehabilitation Centre and The Princess Royal and Worthing hospitals. Over the year it benefited 4,616 patents.
Our new initiative created in 2024 is A Friend in Need. This is a programme to help people at the end of life. Half of the people who die in the UK die in hospital, many of them alone. A Friend in Need has recruited an administrator who has created and trained a team of volunteers to be with patients at this time, if they wish. At the end of 2024 we had a team of 10 volunteers, trained by the Robson Trust and managed by Lou Ikiua the volunteer coordinator. The Friends have funded and supported this programme for two years, and in 2025 it will be officially launched with the target of offering a 24/7 service in all departments of the Louisa Martindale building in the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
Our focus is particularly on 'Cinderella Services' - those that do not always get the support they need.
And because our projects always have a clinical sponsor we can ensure the money we provide goes directly to the front line, where it is most needed, and the benefits of what we do are measured to ensure we give our donors the best value for their money.
Our fundraising activity continues to offer enjoyable events, and in 2024 included Peter James who launched his latest Grace book at Brighton Girls School in support of the Friends, an Abseil off Peacehaven Cliffs, a wine tasting with Johnny Ray from the Spectator, and a Christmas Carol service attended by the Lord Lieutenant and the Mayor as well as over 300 guests.
We have worked with business partners, DMH Stallard, Henry Butler, Brighton Palace Pier, Brighton Sea Lanes, who have all provided generous support.
There are many people who give not just money, but their time, to help us continue to do what we do.
Our Patrons - Michael and Maureen Chowen, Sir Antony Seldon and Sally Gunnell.
Our Trustees - Howard Kidd our treasurer, Dr Muna Al Jawad, Dr Katy Hurt, John Austin, Debbie Reeder, Emma Church, Robert Griffiths and Lee ann Pert.
Our staff - Isabella Vanni who runs the office and keeps us all organised ( no mean feat ) and Katy Wells our fundraiser whose unfailing enthusiasm persuades us to do things we would normally never dream of.
And above all you - the wonderful people of Brighton and Hove, who are so generous with your money and time. Without you none of this would be possible.
Thank you so much
Chris Rendel Chair

## **Investment policy and objectives**
There are no restrictions on the Charity's power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes account of recent demand for funds and the quality of the funding applications. In setting the investment strategy, the Trustees consider the income requirements of the Charity and the risk profile of the investments.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted and unallocated funds, which are the free reserves of the Charity, at a level sufficient to cover future unrestricted expenditure. This provides funds to cover management and administration costs and to respond to applications for grants that arise.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

## **Organisational structure**

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Page 4
**FRIENDS OF BRIGHTON AND HOVE HOSPITALS**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity 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;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping 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 financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 15 April 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF BRIGHTON AND HOVE HOSPITALS**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**FRIENDS OF BRIGHTON AND HOVE HOSPITALS**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from donations is accounted for as received by the charity. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs. The value of voluntary work is not included in the financial statements.
For legacies, entitlement is taken on a case by case basis as the earlier of the date on which: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. If the legacy is in the form of an asset other than cash or an asset listed on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the asset being able to be reliably measured and title to the asset has passed to the charity. Where legacies have been notified to the charity or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Grants payable**
Grants payable are included in the accounts when the obligation to make the payment arises. Any grants awarded, but unspent within two years, are due to be written back but are reviewed by the Board on an individual basis.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
Staff costs have been allocated between grant making and other charitable activities according to the time spent by staff on each activity.
Other support costs attributable to each activity have been allocated on a direct cost basis or, for other overhead costs, apportioned according to management estimates.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
