- 1 - **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ The trustees present their report and the accounts of The Dorset Health Trust for the year ended 30 June 2022 which are prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. In preparing this annual report the trustees confirm that due regard has been paid to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. ## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit** The Dorset Health Trust Limited is a registered charity which furthers its objectives of promoting the relief of sickness primarily by making grants to organisations and medical providers which it deems worthy of support within West, South and North Dorset. The trustees meet regularly to review the financial position of the Trust and therefore determine the level of grants to be made to local medical and health related organisations in accordance with the Trust's objects and reserves policy. From October 2020 regular meetings were held by video conferencing but face to face meetings restarted in March 2022. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. ## **Grant-making policy** Trustees with medical qualifications contribute very materially to the process of considering grant applications. Whilst the trustees aim to operate a flexible and open-minded policy in making grants to achieve the Trust's objectives for the public benefit, their criteria for grant-making include: - (a) stimulating ideas and projects which will lead to better healthcare in Dorset; (b) supporting the introduction of advanced methods and practices which should confer long-term benefits; (c) promoting a more human delivery of the NHS facilities than might otherwise be possible. The trustees consider regularly the extent to which these objectives are realistic, and are being achieved. Donations and grants payable agreed by the board during the year were: Alcohol Education Trust - core funding £8,000 Chesil Sailability - to cover annual rent of premises £3,600 Dorchester Youth & Community Trust - 6 months cover of outreach programme £7,500 Age UK - funding for full time Independent Living Co-ordinator £36,000 Alcohol Education Trust - support with the provision of their community engagement programme £3,000 Project Linus - ex gratia payment towards annual costs £500 Dorset Mind - provision of mental health and wellbeing for chilldren & young people in Dorchester £14,600 Dorset County Hospital - establishment of a critical care paediatric bedspace and associated equipment for seriously ill children in proposed new Critical Care Unit £100,000 These are all listed in note 2 to the accounts. From time to time trustees of The Dorset Health Trust are also trustees of organisations to which grants are made. On such occasions the relevant individuals declare their interest and play no part in the decision. - 2 - **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ ## **Achievements and performance** The Trustees met three times during the year to review the performance of the Trust's investments, to assess the risks facing the Trust, and to consider and respond to the applications for grant aid. The Trust ensures, in accordance with its objectives, that the income is used to benefit the health of the people in Dorset. It supports many organisations by giving them financial support towards their running costs, purchase of equipment or the provision of facilities. During the year the trustees approved grants totalling £173,200 to seven charities in accordance with the grantmaking policy. ## **Financial review** The Trust’s income for the year was £164,482 (2021: £143,260), derived primarily from investments. During the year grants of £173,200 were committed (2021 - £158,492), investment management costs were £18,718 (2021 £16,813) and other expenditure costs were £2,839 (2021: £2,943). Net investment losses totalled £247,808 (2021: gains £534,918) resulting in a net deficit for the year of £278,083, compared with net income of £499,930 in 2021. The financial position of the Trust continues to be sound, with total assets of £5,199,814 (2021: £5,377,514) and liabilities of £110,942 (2021: £10,559); total funds standing at £5,088,872 at the balance sheet date (2021: £5,366,955). The trustees are therefore confident that there are sufficient funds to carry out the Trust's future charitable objectives. The trustees' policy in general is to apply a proportion of available income after necessary costs to awarding grants in accordance with the objects, whilst increasing reserves to maximise future investment income flows. As investment income accrues evenly throughout the year, running costs are minimal and grants awarded are discretionary, the trustees consider that no target level of reserves is required. At 30 June 2022 general unrestricted funds were £3,780,048, compared with £3,681,527 at 30 June 2021. There was a revaluation reserve of £1,308,824 and no restricted or designated funds. ## **Structure, governance and management** The Dorset Health Trust Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 26 August 1977 and registered as a charity on 26 October 1977. The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and is governed under its articles of association. The articles provide that the Trust is managed by not less than five nor more than twenty trustees. The trustees may at any time appoint any member of the charitable company as a trustee, provided that the prescribed maximum is not exceeded. No remuneration is paid to trustees. The trustees consider regularly the constitution of the trustee body, aiming to appoint periodically new trustees with appropriate qualifications in medicine, the law, and financial affairs respectively. No specific policies for the induction and training of trustees is considered to be necessary. This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. Approved by the trustees for issue on 21st September 2022 and signed on their behalf by ## **Mrs L F Barbour** ## **The Lady Wynford** - 3 - ## **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 June 2022, set out on pages 5 to 11. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the company (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 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. **S J Hough, FCA** Edwards and Keeping 18th October 2022 Unity Chambers 34 High East Street Dorchester Dorset DT1 1HA - 4 - ## **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ **----- Start of picture text -----**

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476; The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime. Approved by the trustees for issue on 21st September 2022 and signed on their behalf by **Mrs L F Barbour** **The Lady Wynford** - 6 - **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(a) Basis of preparation** The Dorset Health Trust is a private charitable company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. In the event of the Trust being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Trust. The address of the registered office is given in the Trust information on page 1 of these accounts. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The Trust has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The accounts are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Trust and rounded to the nearest pound. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these accounts are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. ## **(b) Income** All income is recognised when the Trust has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probably that the income will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. No expenditure is netted off income. Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the Trust’s right to receive payment is established. ## **(c) Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Trust to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. Donations and grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued as a commitment once the trustees have approved the application and the recipient has been notified of the grant award. ## **(d) Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets purchased for continuing use by the Trust are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:- Computer equipment over 4 years Other equipment over 10 years - 7 - **THE DORSET HEALTH TRUST LIMITED** **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ ## **(e) Investment property** Investment property constitutes land at the Winterbourne Hospital, Herringston Road, Dorchester, measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities. There is no market-based evidence available to establish fair value, due to its specialised nature, therefore fair value is estimated on the future potential net rental income generated under the lease. ## **(f) Investments** Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Current asset investments are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value / market value. ## **(f) Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Trust. Unrestricted funds include designated funds which represent monies set aside by the trustees for specific purposes. The Trust currently has no restricted funds. ## **2 Donations and grants payable** |Approved in the year:
