## Wolverhampton Coronary Aftercare Support Group 

Registered Charity No. 701667 

c/o Have a Heart Wolverhampton, 9 Salisbury Street, Wolverhampton, WV3 0BG 

## Annual Report 

## **Objects** 

To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of persons resident for the time being within the catchment area of the Heart and Lung Centre at Wolverhampton who have suffered any form of cardiovascular illness, and for the benefit of their carers, and in particular the advancement of education and rehabilitation. 

This is achieved through fundraising and by offering services such as patient to patient counselling; patient and carer partnership meetings; patient representation on local, regional and national bodies; and, wherever possible, working in partnership with the management of the Heart and Lung centre to support clinical and rehabilitation services within the Black Country. The Group commissions phase 4 cardiac rehabilitation exercise services for patients with cardiovascular disease; currently provided through Have A Heart Wolverhampton (HAHW). HAHW is a non-profit company affiliated with the Group and working collaboratively with NHS cardiovascular and respiratory services at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust to support patient rehabilitation. 

## **Trustees** 

During the last financial year the Group has been managed by a Committee consisting of the following Trustees and Members: 

PATRON: Vacant PRESIDENT: Mrs. G. Fenner OBE Co -CHAIRMAN: Mr. A. K. Timmis MBE JP Mr M. Bircher VICE CHAIRMAN: Dr R. Leslie SECRETARY: Mr K. Timmis TREASURER: Mr. C Scordis BSc (Hons) PG Dip ASSISTANT TREASURER: Mr D. Gillhooly EVENTS COORDINATOR: Ms J. Davies 500 CLUB SECRETARY Ms J. Davies FUNDRAISER Mr S. Northcott 

## **Exercise Programme Coordinator** 

Ms J Davies 



In addition the Group has over 400 Ordinary Members, consisting of patients, carers and members of patients’ family and friends. 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention on an accruals basis in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are included in full as soon as the following three factors can be met: 

- i. Entitlement – arises when a particular resource is receivable, or the charity’s rights become legally enforceable. 

- ii. Certainty – when there is reasonable certainty that the incoming resource will be received. 

- iii. Measurement – when the monetary value of the incoming resource can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Legacies** 

Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes reasonably certain.  This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will be made or properly transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled. 

## **Deferred Income** 

Where income has been received in advance of the funds held on trust fulfilling all the conditions attached to it, it is treated as deferred until all of the conditions have been met. 

## **Resources Expended** 

- a) The funds held on these accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept.  All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party. 

- b) The cost of generating funds is the costs associated with generating income for the funds held. 

## **Grants Payable** 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charity’s objectives as outlined in the charity’s Constitution.  They are accounted 



for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. 

## **Management and Administration Costs** 

These are accounted for on an accruals basis. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

This is equipment owned by the charity on a written down value after depreciation. 

## **Structure of Funds** 

Where there is a legal restriction on the purposes to which a fund may be put, the funds are classified in the accounts as a restricted fund.  Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. 

Funds which are not legally restricted but which the trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are classified as designated funds. 

## **Benefits** 

No Trustee or member of the Group has at any time received financial benefit from the Group.  Legitimate expenses, however, incurred on behalf of the group, have been paid when claimed.
