Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year Ended 28 February 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the 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
The charity's object is the advancement of health and the relief of suffering of the sick for the benefit of the public by the making of grants or the provision of such other assistance to Bristol Eye Hospital (BEH) as BEH may request and as the trustees may in their absolute discretion see fit.
The charity does not contribute to core services for which the NHS is responsible.
Review of activities and achievements
Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital have had another successful year in meeting our objective of supporting the work of BEH and helping its patients.
We continue to derive our income from membership subscriptions, donations, legacies and fundraising activities. Thanks to our many loyal and generous supporters, we continue to improve the care, treatment and comfort of patients, by providing for that which is beyond NHS resources.
We had five grants in progress at the start of the year. During the year, BEH submitted applications for 16 new grants, all of which the trustees approved. One previously approved grant was withdrawn by BEH. We made grants of £29,487 during the year covering the cost of 12 grants (and further residual payments on two grants made the previous year). The 12 grants were:
-
Soundproofing BEH examination rooms, which can be very noisy when several patients are being examined at the same time. We funded soundproofing so that staff and patients may hear each other clearly, which enables clinicians to obtain the correct information (and it’s more private). This grant was funded out of donations raised in memory of Graham Murphy.
-
Two Tono-Pens for use by Emergency Department nurses to assess pressure in patients’ eyes. A build-up of pressure can be harmful to the eye, and these pens allow a quick and easier way to check. This improves patient safety and reduces waiting times. The pens also allow medics to assess patients at the Bristol Children’s Hospital, the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Southmead Hospital, which reduces inpatient stays and lessens the number of patients who need to be transferred to the BEH Emergency Department.
-
New work-surface, lockable cupboards and wall units in the Orthoptic Adult Assessment Room . These allow patient notes to be kept safe and out of sight during clinics and provide safe storage of equipment and eye drops. The room is now more appropriate for clinical assessment and much more easily cleaned between patients – and there is more space in the reception area to reduce crowding.
-
Lockers for the Outpatients staff changing room. We bought ten 3-door lockers for the Outpatients department staff changing room on Level 2. The previous lockers were very old and rusty. Many of the doors had bent out of shape and no longer closed and the locks were all broken. Staff had no adequate space to keep their belongings while at work; bags often had to be left on the floor. With new lockers, the staff changing room is a much nicer and tidier environment.

Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year Ended 28 February 2023
-
Posture Supports for retinal patients to use at home. Following a suggestion from a patient, Carole Brooke, we funded posture aids (or ‘face supports’) for patients to use at home after retinal surgery. Using a posture aid attached to the end or side of a normal bed allows a recovering patient to lie face down and keep their head still for long periods. Doing this without a posture aid is very difficult and can be painful or cause strain to the back or neck. Posture aids are tremendously helpful both to keep the patient comfortable and to aid recovery and outcomes after retinal surgery. The hospital does not have any posture aids which patients can take home. We have provided 21 posture aids proving that there is a real need for them. We have also agreed a budget to purchase more as needed until at least 29 February 2024.
-
Dr Spry Memorial Service costs. We contributed towards the cost of a memorial service for Dr Paul Spry held in the hospital’s Robert Dickson garden for staff on 6 July 2022. Paul Spry, who was Head of Optometry (and guitarist in BEH’s resident band), died suddenly and prematurely in August 2021. This was tragic news to all his colleagues who felt he was irreplaceable. He had set up the electrodiagnostic department; had a distinguished academic career; was a fantastic colleague to work with, combining very high standards with fun; always ready to go the extra mile to help diagnosis and to benefit patients. The BEH leadership team waited for a suitable moment when distancing restrictions had been lifted to allow a group meeting to reflect on Paul’s career and his exceptional contributions to the hospital, its staff and its patients.
-
New work surfaces and flooring in the Imaging Office , used for printing for oncology referrals, uploading oculoplastic imaging and exporting images for doctors, as well as for training and a staff rest area. We have created space for a new workstation and provided a much-needed uplift to the tired office which promotes tidy working and enhances staff wellbeing.
-
Ophthalmic Photographers attended Ophthalmic Imaging Association Annual Conference. We paid for two members of the Imaging Department to attend the OIA Conference in Swindon. The OIA promotes good practice, education, training and research in ocular imaging. Alice Johns, Head of Imaging at BEH, emphasised the advantages of BEH Imaging staff attending this conference which would not have been possible without our support.
-
Patient Support Group Equipment for patients. We bought a range of equipment for the Patient Support Group to give to patients who need sight loss support. These items are especially important for people who live alone or in remote areas, without access to support. Items purchased (from the RNIB and the Macular Society) include Liquid Level Indicators, BumperStops (for marking equipment, such as settings and functions on an oven or washing machine, buttons on a remote control or important keys on a computer keyboard), Hi-Vis Elasticated Arm Bands for greater walking safety and Lightweight Folding Symbol Canes.
-
3D Television for teaching slit lamp examination. Using a slit lamp is the most fundamental aspect of eye examination. It is a complex skill - often taking a long time to train and become proficient. Using a slit lamp camera can teach basic skills in a matter of hours rather than weeks or months. BEH has a 3D slit lamp camera system which already has excellent feedback from allied health professionals, junior doctors, medical students and others. The connection of this to a relatively inexpensive 3D television permits innovative, high definition, immersive training.
-
Contribution towards a retirement celebration for two long serving members of staff
-
Heine Omega 600 Traveller Set. We have purchased an additional Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (BIO) for use in community clinics around Bristol, where children are seen locally for eye tests and examination of the internal health of the eye. In 2020 we provided a Keeler BIO to help this domiciliary service. The number of peripheral clinics offered by BEH has tripled in the past ten years. The need for more complex examination with more specialised equipment has risen, including the requirement for BIO which has become the gold standard for examining the health of children’s eyes. This additional BIO will increase the number of days in which optometrists can work in these clinics, as well as reducing time spent collecting and returning equipment.

Further details of all these grants (with some photographs) are available on our website.
We also continued to pay for maintenance of indoor plants and the aquarium in the children’s ward. Work has begun to restore the patients’ courtyard garden after two years of neglect necessitated by Covid restrictions.
At the year-end, there were eight grants (with a total expected cost of £166,309) which had been approved but not yet paid.
Trustees and their advisers have not met in person since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. The trustees held five formal meetings online and have continued to manage the charity efficiently while working remotely.
11 members attended the AGM held online on 10 May 2022 at which Ben Phipps was elected as a trustee and Dinah Harrison, Richard Markham and Heather Walker were re-elected as trustees.
At the trustees’ meeting immediately following our AGM, Dinah Harrison, Wendy Beatty and Simon St LegerHarris were all unanimously re-elected as Chair, Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
We welcomed Gail Glew and Jenny Ward as new co-opted trustees in November 2022. Both retired from BEH after a truly astonishing 51 years’ service each for the Bristol NHS Trust. Prior to her retirement in July 2022, Jenny attended our trustees’ meetings for many years (as the representative for all the nursing staff), advising us on grants and assisting with fundraising events.
We are sad to report that Richard Markham stood down in December 2022 after serving as a trustee for almost seven years including four as Chairman. A Life Member of the Friends since 2002, Richard has supported and encouraged our activities since the charity’s earliest days. We greatly appreciate his increased commitment and contribution to the Friends after his official retirement from full-time consultancy at BEH, even while he continued to help the hospital by taking clinics. We shall miss his wise counsel and deep knowledge and experience. We thank him profoundly for his support.
Although our total income of £47,085 is much lower than last year (£319,615), our income in the previous year was very substantially higher than usual as a result of two extremely large legacies. Excluding income from legacies (which is negative due to an over accrual of an amount due in the prior year), our net income of £48,642 is higher than the previous year (£35,615) which is mainly due to one very large donation. We are indebted to all our donors, other fundraisers: Team Veolia and Emma Don; donations in memory of Chris Beatty, David Bradshaw, David Easty, Geoffrey Griffiths, Barbara Hatherall, John Heape, Jean Hook, Graham Murphy, John Sheppard, Margaret Stamper and Wendy Walcott plus a legacy from the estate of Sarah Hughes.
We issued a new version of our donation leaflet and form and updated our online donation platform to be consistent with the new form.
As recommended by the Charity Commission, we carried out an Internal Financial Review and are updating all our financial governance processes, including our Policies for Investment, Reserves and Expenses.
We have updated our Privacy Policy and registered as a Data Controller with the Information Commissioners’ Office (#ZB507812).
We established a new telephone number for the Friends. The number is free to call from UK landlines and mobiles. People using it are automatically directed to one of our officers. The number can be programmed to include a menu allowing a caller to be directed to a particular officer, eg the Chairman or the Treasurer but this facility has, deliberately, not been set up yet.
Once again, we held no fundraising events in the year.
During the year, we have received several donations from Star Legal Solicitors who, when acting as Executors, have been unable to trace all the beneficiaries nominated in a Will. Funds that they have been unable to allocate have been donated to us on condition that we would refund them in the event of a beneficiary being found and validated. The total of these donations has been treated as ‘Designated Funds’ and held in reserve.

Further details of our activities, including grants made, are contained in In Sight which is circulated to members and other supporters who request it. In Sight is also available throughout BEH, on our website or to anyone on request.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in relation to the objectives and actions of the charity.
The trustees are satisfied and confident that the charity’s activities directly further its charitable purposes and provide clear benefits to its beneficiaries, as demonstrated above. The charity’s beneficiaries include any and all patients of the Bristol Eye Hospital and its staff.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The reserves carried forward of £357,049 (2022 - £343,547) are held in readily disposable investments and cash, for distribution as grants as required. At the balance sheet date, the charity had funding commitments of £166,309.
In addition to funds set aside to pay for grants already approved but not yet paid, the trustees consider it appropriate to hold free reserves to cover the sum of one year’s expected future operating costs, one year’s regular grants and any restricted funds.
Whilst the total funds at the end of the year exceed the minimum reserve required, the trustees do not consider the reserves to be excessive and they will continue to approve and pay for grants out of these available reserves.
No funds are held as custodian trustee.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity was established on 13 April 1977. The charity is unincorporated; it is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, which was most recently updated on 18 May 2017 and approved by the Charity Commission on 12 July 2017.
Organisational structure
The charity is managed by trustees. There must be at least six and not more than twelve trustees. One third of the trustees retire at the end of each Annual General Meeting and are eligible for re-election for a term of three years. Trustees elect a Chairman (who must be one of their number) and a Secretary and a Treasurer, all for fixed periods. A Chairman may not serve as such for more than six years.
Any member of the Friends who is eligible to be a trustee may stand for election at an Annual General Meeting. The trustees may, during the year, co-opt any eligible member to be a trustee to serve until the next Annual General Meeting, at which he or she may stand for election by the members.
The charity has three sub-committees (for Events, Finance and Governance), all of which have formal Terms of Reference as required by our governing document.
The charity has several further volunteers, including some hospital staff who advise the trustees. We thank all our volunteers for their work.
The charity has no employees.
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.

Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year Ended 28 February 2023
After a thorough review in April 2020, the trustees concluded that our activities should not be materially impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and that our charity remains a going concern. This review included an assessment of the possible impacts on our income, outgoings, asset values, delivery of our services and our governance – as recommended by Charity Commission guidance issued on 23 March 2020.
The trustees assert that this conclusion remains valid in May 2023.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting 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; and
-
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 maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and 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/constitution. 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.

Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 28 February 2023
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in £ sterling on the historic cost basis and 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
The charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
Income recognised in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Bequests and legacies are included when entitlement is established, it is probable that the amount will be received, and the amount receivable can be estimated with sufficient accuracy. Where conditions for recognition have not been met, the legacies are disclosed.
Dividends are recognised on the due date for payment and interest on a receivable basis grossed up for any recoverable taxation.
1.3
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Costs of raising funds comprise the fees paid to the investment managers in connection with the management of the Charity’s investments together with any other costs associated with the holding of investment assets.
Charitable activities include all direct and indirect costs incurred by the Charity in meeting its charitable objectives. Benefits payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Charity. Benefits payable are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when approved by the Trustees and the intended recipient has either received the funds or has been informed of the decision to pay the benefit. Where conditions are attached to the benefit, the benefits are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the benefit and any condition attaching to it is outside of the control of the Trustees or the conditions attaching to the benefit have been fulfilled.
Governance costs comprise all costs incurred in running the charity itself as an organisation, and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
The Charity is not registered for VAT and irrecoverable VAT is aggregated with the expenditure on which it is incurred.

Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 28 February 2023
1.4 Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.5 Investments
Non-current asset investments comprise savings bonds with a maturity date of more than one year from the balance sheet date.
Current asset investments comprise instant access savings bonds, withdrawable at short notice or which reach maturity within one year of the balance sheet date.
1.6 Debtors
Accrued income is recognised at the settlement amount due whilst debtors relating to accrued interest are recognised when unconditionally due and reasonable assurance can be gained they will be received.
1.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
1.8 Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.
Grants that meet the recognition criteria set out in note 1.3 but have not been paid as at the year end are recognised as a liability.
1.9 Taxation
As a registered charity, the charity is not liable to corporation tax to the extent that income and gains are applied to charitable activities.
1.10 Funds
General funds are unrestricted funds receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds are those set aside by the Trustees for specific purposes.

General funds are for use by the charity for general charitable objectives.
The Star Legal designated fund was created by the trustees to recognise amounts donated to the charity by Star Legal Solicitors who, when acting as Executors, have been unable to trace all the beneficiaries nominated in a Will. Funds that they have been unable to allocate have been donated on condition that they would be refunded in the event of a beneficiary being found and validated. The amounts are therefore held in their own reserve.
12. Trustees and employees
The charity has no employees, and hence none that receive remuneration of over £60,000 (2022: none).
One trustee was paid expenses of £56 in the year (2022: one trustee was paid expenses of £4).
