## **BEDFORD HOSPITAL CHARITY AND FRIENDS**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial statements comply with the Charity’s constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective I January 2015) - Charities SORP (FRS 102).
As will be obvious from the report much has been achieved by the charity in the last year.
## **Trustees**
Helen Nellis CVO CStJ, and Tim Morley resigned as Trustees. Ken Williams and Ismail Anilmis remain as non-executive Trustees.
The Executive Trustees, in essence the leadership team of the Bedford Hospital Charity and Friends (BHC&F) are very effectively led by Deborah Inskip OBE DL (Chairman), ably supported by Rob Oakley OBE DL (Vice-Chairman), a former Consultant Radiologist at Bedford Hospital, Simon Sadler TD DL as Treasurer and Jacqui Goulding as Secretary. All members of the Executive Committee have been carrying out their duties to a high standard and their work has been of enormous benefit to the BHC&F and Bedford Hospital.
## **Constitution, Objects and Policies**
The Charity is constituted as a charitable trust. The Charity is managed by an unpaid Executive Committee, which includes the four Executive Trustees. The day to day activities of the Charity are organised through the executive committee and the sub-committees, which involve both the Trustees and other committee members. The Charity is a public benefit entity.
The objects and policies of the Charity comprise:
- The relief of sickness within the area of benefit;
- The improvement and maintenance of facilities for patients and staff at the Bedford Hospital sites within the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and all other hospital premises in the National Health Service within the area of benefit; and
- The area of benefit shall be that served by the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
## **Our Achievements and Performance**
There are many notable highlights over the year:
At the end of April the lovely Swannery gardens were opened by David Carter, the CEO of the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and myself. We had helped in equal part with the Trust to landscape and redesign this courtyard style outside space. It is now a much appreciated haven of peace and tranquillity for patients, staff and visitors.
We held a very successful supper club at the Royal Gurkha restaurant back in May. This was followed in early June by the renowned Flitton Potato race which again raised funds for the charity
In July, we marked the NHS’s birthday by buying over 1,000 cakes from La Rondine for all the staff in Bedford Hospital and for various satellite departments. As ever, La Rondine generously donated a further 20% of cakes.
Later in July, at the River Festival, Bedford Park Rotary organised the raft race and supported our charity with the proceeds. The Charity Golf Day team led by Helen Nellis organised a very successful golf day early in September. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a lot of fun plus helped to raise over £14,000 for us which is quite something for a golf day. Thank you to everyone involved.
The Trustees agreed to provide half the cost of providing a fast cardiac CT scanner which was installed in the Autumn. Back in November last year, just before the AGM, we celebrated the opening of the cardiac CT suite which is now a very busy and fantastic facility.

## **BEDFORD HOSPITAL CHARITY AND FRIENDS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
We have also virtually completed the long-running Mohs project. This was part of our 30[th] Anniversary Appeal for half a million which was started in 2018. There have been many obstacles along the way but orders for the equipment went in earlier this year. Mohs techniques will give the Plastics Surgery department a new diagnostic facility for enabling precise excision margins for skin cancer excision. This will help to significantly reduce the risk of leaving any residual disease at the time of surgery. It will mean less waiting for results plus a better outcome and reduces the need for repeat surgery. Appropriate treatment can then follow.
Another major achievement has been to move forward with improving the paediatric cancer services on the paediatric ward by creating ultra-clean rooms for treatment of life-threatening infections. We have also facilitated and added to the refurbishment of the parents’ kitchen on the Riverbank ward. The project was the great idea of the parent of a child who had been on the ward for a considerable length of time. He wanted to create a more comfortable and restful environment for worried and tired parents when facing a difficult time with their children undergoing treatment on the ward. Very generously he supported the creation of this fantastic new kitchen. In fact, it was a real community effort with local businesses also giving generously of their time and products to keep the costs to a minimum.
We continue to receive exceptional support from the local community. The Panacea Society have made a large donation to enable us to buy three new cars for the Primrose Car Service and over the year we have taken delivery of two new cars.
The Christmas Tree Festival in St Paul’s Church, Bedford, with the theme of ‘The Magic of Christmas’ was once again superbly organised by Margaret Oakley and her team from December 4[th] – 8[th] . The Christmas Trees were decorated by different schools and organisations, and different choirs sang carols and other festive fare on each day of the Festival. There was a ‘Fizz at the Festival’ evening in the church to thank all of the sponsors. On the Friday evening, there was a splendid concert given by The Amici Wind quintet in St Paul’s Church which was very well attended and much enjoyed.
The Primrose Car Service, managed by Ken Williams, Peter Marks and Delphi Ellis continued to provide an excellent service transporting patients to and from radiotherapy. Communication with the East of England Ambulance Service (EEAS) have improved significantly.
The Trustees have an ‘open door’ with the Cranfield Trust to ensure relevant governance systems are in place for BHC&F
Excellent communication exists between staff of the Bedford Hospital and the Trustees which is vitally important in identifying projects which BHC&F can either fully or partially fund in consultation with the authorities in the hospital. BCH&F is always most grateful for gifts, legacies and support from other Charitable Trusts.
It is a pleasure to thank our Patron, The Duchess of Bedford DL, our President Charles Whitbread DL, and all our VicePresidents and Honorary members.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Related Parties**
Bedford Hospital Charity and Friends works closely with and provides its charitable expenditure to our main beneficiary, the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the Charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
## **Investment Policy**
The Trustees consider that deposit accounts are the most appropriate vehicle for investing funds as they meet the requirements to maintain access and generate income. Where surplus cash is placed on deposit the Trustees consider that the accounts used for this purpose must ensure the best returns relative to retaining access to the funds.
## **Reserves Policy**
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which at least equates to approximately twelve months’ unrestricted expenditure to cover management, administration and governance costs, namely £5,000. Since unrestricted funds were maintained well in excess of this level throughout the year, no unrestricted funds have been designated.
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
Law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to: -
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with The Charities Act 2011, applicable regulations and the Charity’s 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.
## **Approval**
This report was approved by the Trustees on 19[th] January 2026 and signed on their behalf by:
Deborah Inskip OBE DL – Trustee

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **BEDFORD HOSPITAL CHARITY AND FRIENDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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 Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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.
The Charity’s gross income exceeded £1,204,800 in the prior year and amounted to £645,790 in the current year. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England & Wales.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.

**BEDFORD HOSPITAL CHARITY AND FRIENDS**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparation of the financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, where applicable. In preparing the financial statements the Charity follows best practice in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The Charity is a public benefit charity as defined under FRS 102.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with reliability. The income from fundraising ventures is shown before deducting the associated costs, which are included in fundraising costs.
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is virtually certain; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that payment of the legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled and the amount of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT**
Resources expended are recognised under the accruals basis and are classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. Value Added Tax is not generally recoverable by the Charity, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment.
## **Cost of generating funds**
The cost of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the Charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the Charity's objects. The cost of generating funds represents fundraising costs. Fundraising expenditure comprises costs incurred in inducing people and organisations to contribute financially to the Charity's work. This includes the cost of advertising for donations and the staging of special fundraising events.
## **Charitable activities**
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs comprise all costs attributable to ensuring the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. It includes expenditure on the management and administration of the Charity and includes all expenditure not directly related to the charitable activities or fundraising ventures.
## **Funds structure**
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified either as an endowment fund, where the donor has expressly provided that only the income of the fund may be applied, or as a restricted income fund where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. The Charity currently has neither permanent endowment nor expendable endowment funds.

The Primrose Appeal was originally started in January 2000 to provide a top-quality cancer treatment unit at Bedford Hospital, the building of which was completed and opened in 2003. Since then, income received has been applied to the Primrose Fund to improve and develop cancer services at Bedford Hospital and to support the transport service run by the charity to Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge for patients receiving radiotherapy.
