The trustees have the 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 2015). ## **CHANGE OF NAME** On 04 June 2024, the charity changed its name from Friends of Whitstable Hospital and Healthcare to The Friends of Whitstable Healthcare. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The purpose of the charity is to provide support to the Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital and to provide support for medical care in health centres and in the community of Whitstable and the surrounding area. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** The charity’s income is derived from fund raising activities and from gifts. During the year, equipment donations totalling £156,345 (2024: £243,719) were made. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves Policy** It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to emergency applications for support which may arise from time to time. Funds were maintained at this level throughout the year. Surplus funds, although not restricted, are being retained to meet future unspecified major projects within the scope of the charity’s activities. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity. Charity law 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 surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees have: - Selected suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently; - Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - Stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - Prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also 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. 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. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** **Registered Charity number** 233828 **Principal address** Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital Northwood Road Whitstable Kent CT5 2HN Page 1 THe FRZENDS OF wH[rsr￿LE HEALIHCARF AEPORT OF ThE Trlisriis lor th• Y•atr end•d 31 I1￿h 2025 AtPEIiB4CE AIID &lD¥IIIISTrAnvi DeYAILS (t•Thllnu•d) Mfs fi Mk•r ILh•irni•n) Nrs M E Ahvm (Vte Chairm*il Mrs P Ca145- r¢sbgnEd 7 ￿fte 2025 Mrs L Ooyle Mrs B Thllv Mrs C NeLsc Mr5 E Swan-8e Nrs J E eutkm•h Mr loln trIe￿It- appolrted 22 October 2024 Mr5 K•thryn F*￿fvJ- •Fp)Inted 22 Octot*r 2024 tnd•pknd•nt •x•nlMr Hlklry Lfd hart¢r¢d Accountsnt5 158 Stroet Kent cr6 5NP •rlC InNflI ## **THE FRIENDS OF WHITSTABLE HEALTHCARE** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (including Income and Expenditure Account) for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** |**Funds**

Page 8 ## **CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS' INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE FRIENDS OF WHITSTABLE HEALTHCARE** We report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 3 to 8. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention: (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
