FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of events and performance
Total Incoming Resources (Income) at £119,033 increased by £100,242 on the prior year (2021: £18,791) due to legacy income which was not received in the prior year.
Total Resources expended this year was £41,411 as compared to the previous year (2021: £57,086) which is decrease of 27%.
The KPA was able to support the Renal Unit with Donations towards the purchase of equipment totalling £29,758 (2021: £46,635) as described below.
These movements in the main were the factors affecting the current year surplus of £77,622 (2021: deficit of £38,295).
In line with this surplus, the Association's assets increased from £324,212 in 2021 to £401,834 this year, completely represented within the Unrestricted General Fund.
The Trustees have invested funds in a Virgin Money Charity Deposit Account and fixed term bonds with 2 other investment houses to provide a secure risk free investment. There has been no movement in Virgin Money account during the year. The United Trust Bond has £85,000 invested for 2 years fixed until June 2022. The Metro Bank Bond matured in the year and the £80,000 was reinvested for 1 year until September 2022 on a fixed term.
Reserves Policy
The Charity has held assets in cash, either in current or deposit accounts throughout the year. St Helier & Surrey KPA (Kidney Patients Association) does not have any interest in real estate property or possess any marketable securities and thus has no financial market exposure. The costs associated with the core activities of the Charity are noted in the attached Statement of Financial Activities.
The Trustees aim is to maintain reserves at the level of approximately one year’s historical expenditure.
The Trustees consider the General Funds carried forward sufficient to enable them to continue to fulfil their obligation to the patients of the Renal Unit at St Helier Hospital and its satellite units.
Risk Management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The number of kidney patients requiring support is projected to substantially increase in the next few years in line with the expected increase in the number of Renal Patients; the continuing task will be to ensure that adequate funds become available for this purpose. This is constantly under review.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Helier & Surrey KPA (Kidney Patients Association)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
The charity is an incorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The principal activity of the charity is devoted to improving facilities and welfare of Kidney Patients under the care of the renal Unit of St Helier Hospital in Carshalton and details of this are shown in the Trustees report. The charity’s address details are shown on the Charity reference and Administration Details page.
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Accounting convention
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Going concern
We have paid particular attention to the likely effects on the charity of the current Covid-19 outbreak and the current world economic climate. The trustees remain confident that sufficient funding and reserves are in place and that the charity has adequate resources to enable it to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
Incoming resources
-
a) Donations are recognised when they can be reliably measured, are probable and the charity is entitled to them. This is considered appropriate when the charity has been notified either:
-
i. in writing from the donor of both the amount and settlement date,
-
ii. notification has been received from the giving platforms (Just Giving, Move Loved or Love to Donate) that an amount has been paid into the charity bank account,
-
iii. the amount, for regular or one off donations, have been received into the charity’s bank account.
-
In the event that a donation is subject to restrictions placed on it by the donor then the amount will be included in an applicable restricted reserve.
-
b) Legacies are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate and when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
-
c) Interest on funds held on deposit is included in the year to which it relates and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is based upon the notification of the interest receivable provided by the bank when the bond is invested. Where investment income has not been received at the year end the amount receivable is apportioned and included within debtors and investment income.
Resources expended and liabilities
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Investments
The Trustees ensure that the money held in cash investment bonds is generating the best interest rate that is possible whilst ensuring that the money held on deposit is under £85,000 so that the money is protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Capital expenditure
Expenditure of a capital nature is written off to income and expenditure in the year in which it is incurred.
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are included at the monetary value of the transaction.
