REPORT OF THE COUNCIL

The members of Council (who are also Trustees of the charity) present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Reference and Administrative information

Details under this heading are contained on Page 2 and should be read as part of this report.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity’s governing document is “The Friends of Blandford Community Hospital Constitution, Objects and Rules” (as amended 2008 & 2019).

The Trustees are elected by members at the Annual General Meeting. Council may appoint additional or replacement Trustees to fill vacancies until the next AGM. Officers are appointed by Council from those elected by members. New trustees meet with officers and are made fully aware of their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the Constitution and all relevant aspects of the Friends’ operations.

The full Council consists of a maximum of 20 members from whom the Management Board, as shown on page 2, is drawn. All members of Council are expected to serve on at least one of the working groups specialising in a specific aspect of our work. The Management Board decide on how to allocate the funds raised by the Charity at their committee meetings, with the staff only being involved with clerical roles. The Management Board are considered to be the charity’s key management personnel and are not remunerated for their services

Objectives and Activities

It is expected that Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust will fund the provision and replacement of standard hospital equipment, fixtures and fittings.

The objects of the Friends shall be to provide support and assistance to patients of the hospital and preserve and protect the health of the community by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities, support services and equipment not normally provided by the NHS or statutory authorities. In pursuing these activities the Council confirms that it has complied with its duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance

In pursuance of these objects the Council continued to raise funds and to invite and receive contributions from individuals and organisations by way of subscriptions, donations or otherwise. Efforts are made to enlist the support of a broadly based substantial membership in order to keep in touch with the actual needs of the population, and existing members are encouraged to assist in this respect. The Friends continued to supplement the service provided by the hospital management for the health, welfare and comfort of patients and also provided amenities and support in the hospital and the community for patients, staff and others, including the Blandford Opportunities Group, who provide a day facility for disabled children.

In considering applications for financial support the following priorities are adopted:

• a) conditions of the staff.

• b) Additional equipment that would extend or enhance work carried out by consultants in the hospital. c) Additional equipment to facilitate treatment given in the wards and outpatient clinics.

• d) Grants for further training of hospital staff, especially nursing staff.

• e) Improvements to the hospital environment.

• f) Equipment for improved care in the community and health related community projects.

Achievements and Performance

The key performance indicators used to assess the performance of the Charity are a comparison of income generated from all sources compared with prior years. In addition all expenditure is closely monitored in comparison with prior years and previous similar activities. At each committee meeting detailed reports and analysis are prepared on the performance of the investments held.

During the second year of the pandemic, when lockdown rules eased slightly, we were able to establish some of our normal activities. This came at a cost to the shops, volunteer drivers and had a huge impact of how we delivered our services. It also had an impact on the shop volunteers, where some found the risk too great to be back helping in the shops. The Community Transport Services started with a limited service which steadily grew as people became more confident to venture out. We recognise that Covid 19 will be with us for years to come and we need to closely monitor and learn to live with it. Our staff came out of furlough and started to base themselves back in the Friends Office again. We had some staff changes and this resulted in a new shop manager during this time.

Due to the lockdown and restrictions in 2021, our normal events were put on hold except for the Annual Raffle at Christmas, but future events are now in the planning starting with an Autumn Fayre in 2022. We continue to have a link from our website to a Just Giving page, which has added another source of funds. The charity does not use professional fundraisers nor does it subscribe to any schemes or standards for regulating fundraising and does not use external fund-raising consultants. The charity’s staff are careful to ensure that they treat potential supporters fairly and with respect and no complaints have been received in the year with respect to the charity’s fundraising practices.

Although earlier meetings were conducted over the Zoom platform, we started to organise face to face meetings within the community, but not in the hospital due to restricted access to the hospital.

In the community we have again continued to fund a counsellor at Blandford School, a valuable service helping children who are experiencing difficulty. We also supported the Blandford Opportunities Group, who provide day facilities for disabled children and their parents, and increased funding to incorporate specific equipment as well as running costs.

For all Blandford Hospital staff we recognised their huge contribution and commitment during the months of Covid19 with a staff lapel badge. This was achieved as a joint project with other Friends of Community Hospitals.

We will be funding a new C arm image scanner intensifier for the treatment room at Blandford Hospital. This allows clinicians to give a more accurate location in order to give injection, eg back treatment.

It was also agreed to fund a Zeiss 6000 OCT Scanner. This is the most up to date eye scanner which enables the Consultant to treat retina eye problems without follow up appointments.

The charity’s policy is to hold working capital within the bank accounts and to invest any surplus funding in its investment portfolio. The portfolio is held for capital growth and the objective is to achieve a gain year-onyear. In 2022 the portfolio generated investment gains of £141,193

Financial Review

The Council is aware of its responsibility to invest funds prudently to achieve both income and capital growth and this aspect is reviewed regularly by the Management Board. It is Council policy to maintain in normal circumstances, a core reserve of at least £300,000 which, with the income generated, will provide sufficient funding to meet requests for support without undue delay.

The target level of £300,000 of core reserves is based on the funding needed to cover staff salaries, charitable activities and reasonable project costs for a period of one year. The reserves policy was last reviewed by the Trustees in May 2021 and it was confirmed this remained appropriate to the charity’s current circumstances.

4

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

The Management Board has authority to spend £100,000 on any one project within a total of £200,000 for a six-monthly-period without reference to Council.

As at 31 March 2022 the charity’s unrestricted reserves exceed the targeted core reserves and the surplus will be used to support charitable projects in future periods.

In the year ended 31 March 2022 income decreased by £1,105,778 over the previous year, the decrease from reduced legacy income of £1,147,978 was offset by increased income from trading activities which rose from £98,019 to £143,747 in the year. An additional sum of £64,811 was received from the estate of Phyllis Skinner, boosting Income further. Membership figures have been revised to show the actual income received from membership, ie membership fee of £5 multiplied by the number of members. Any surplus amounts received along with membership fees have been included under Donation The decrease of £7k for the year is the result of this change in reporting and does not reflect a decline in the number of members.

During the year, a further sum of £700,000 was invested in M&G Charifund units and £100,000 in Charibond units. Moreover, £225,000 of units were transferred out of Charibond into Charifund. On 31[st] March 2022 the value of these investments amounted to £2,607,460. This total, combined with the cash in our bank accounts of £241,200 gives us £2,848,660 of rapidly realisable funds. As at 31 March 2022 the total value of unrestricted reserves stood at £2,842,280.

Spending on Charitable Activities during the year amounted to £192,599, which covered spending on the Hospital, our Minibus and Community Volunteers Scheme and several contributions to health related projects within the wider Community. The commitment to cover £300,000 of the cost of the new MSK unit has been accrued for in the accounts and is awaiting payment in the near future.

Plans for the Future

The trustees consider the most significant risk currently facing the charity to be the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It will be quite challenging to safeguard our staff and volunteers which we consider to be of the utmost importance in order for us to get back to normal and attract enough volunteers. We hope to continue with our services, patient transport, shops, etc as soon as it is safe to do so. Fund raising events will be organised when permitted by Covid legislation. We continue to discuss our main project for Blandford Hospital with the Trust this year for the upgrading of the old Operating Theatre into a new, modern Treatment Facility, which was put on hold due to the pandemic.

With our Office Manager retiring, the Trustees will consider how to replace her.

Currently, our membership stands at 723 members and we would like to increase this number. Our Membership Chair has some ambitious plans to achieve this.

We will continue our role of representing patients’ needs within the hospital and community and we are grateful to the Dorset Health Care University NHS Foundation Trust for accepting us as a responsible participant in the future of our hospital and community care.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

1. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

2. observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

5

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

1. state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

2. 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 keeping proper accounting records that 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity, taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and for the maintenance and the integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website.

Staff and Volunteers

The Council has been well supported as usual by the four members of staff, Sarah Connors - Office Manager, Lisa Deverell - Community Services Coordinator, Emma Sisson – Shop Manager/Events who was later replaced by Suzanne Leighton as Shop Manager and Leonne Hughes - Transport and Admin Coordinator. Each, along with the many volunteers, contribute significantly to the efficiency of the Friends’ organisation and activities.

All officers and members of the Council are honorary and did not receive any remuneration during the year or other sums except by way of reimbursement of expenditure incurred on behalf of the charity. Signed on behalf of the Council by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

I report on the financial statements of the Friends of Blandford Community Hospital for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees, who are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act); to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Basis of preparation

1.1. Basis of accounting

The accounts 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 (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The accounts 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 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 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional and presentational currency of the Charity. The financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

1.2 Changes to accounting estimates

The most significant judgements affecting these financial statements relate to the timing of the recognition of legacy income in the accounts. The policy for legacy recognition is set out below. In the trustees’ opinion there are no significant sources of estimation uncertainty affecting the financial statements. No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

1.3 Material prior year errors

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Income

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when

• The charity becomes entitled to the resources.

• It is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and

• The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS102SORP.

Grant and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. Government grants are recognised using the performance model and grants which have specified future performance-related conditions are initially recognised as a liability and are released to income only when the related conditions are met. Grants which have no performance-related conditions are recognised when the proceeds are received or receivable .

10

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Legacies

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is when there has been a grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Donated goods

Donated goods are recognised as income upon sale.

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Income from membership subscriptions

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies.

Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise.

2.2 Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Allocation of costs

Governance and support costs have been allocated between raising funds, charitable activities and other costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by usage. During the current and previous years all expenditure incurred by the Charity has related to the single activity of providing support and assistance to patients of the hospital and preserving and protecting the health of the community

Grants payable without performance conditions

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation is recognised.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

2.3 Assets

Investments

Fixed asset investments are in Charifund and Charibond – Accumulation Shares and Units. They are valued initially at cost and subsequently at their market value at the year end.

11

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity.

The charity owns a mixed-use property which comprises a shop used by the charity and a flat which is let out to provide investment income. This entire property is included within tangible fixed assets as the investment property component cannot be measured reliably

The fixed assets are capitalised at cost if they can be used for more than one year. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 8.

Debtors

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently that are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
