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 2023.

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 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 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 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) Major projects that add to the well-being and/or treatment of patients and/or the working 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 last year, and now that lockdown rules have lifted, we were able to resume normal activities. Our shops and volunteer drivers have slowly returned to normal. However, we lost quite a few volunteers after lockdown as they found the risk too great helping in the shops. We have now recruited more volunteers and shops are fully operational. 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 2021/22, our normal events were put on hold except for the Annual Raffle at Christmas. This year we organised an Autumn Fayre which proved very successful. 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.

Although earlier meetings were conducted over the Zoom platform, we now organise face to face meetings within the hospital.

Due to staff changes we have had to employ a payroll system as the NHS has not got the capacity to take on our new staff on their payroll. This has been a steep learning curve for staff and the Board. We have had to find HR support which we now have through a local company. As new staff are no longer eligible for the NHS pension, we have had to set up a pension scheme for new staff.

As the lockdown inhibited all the normal volunteer social gatherings, e.g., Christmas meals etc, we decided to have a Picnic Lunch at Durweston Village Hall during the summer, which was a very pleasant afternoon enjoyed by all. We are hoping to repeat this in 2023.

In the community we have again continued to fund a counsellor at Blandford School, a valuable service helping children who are experiencing difficulties. 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 their running costs.

We funded a new C arm image scanner intensifier for the treatment room at Blandford Hospital. This allows clinicians to give a more accurate location when giving injections, e.g., back treatments. This is now in use.

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.

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

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 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 of 31 March 2023 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 2023 total incoming resources amounted to £247,914, an increase of £19K over the previous year. Shop income, although steady throughout the year, was at a generally reduced level as compared with last year. Together with the discontinuation of a £20K covid grant received last year but not applicable this year, there was a decrease in income from trading activity of £34K.This was offset by higher income from Legacy and Donation. Donation received was £16K higher than in 2022, boosted by a few very generous sums received, notably two at £5K each. Notification of Legacy income to the value of £81,690 was received during the current year. This amount has been included in the accounts and should be credited to our bank account during 2023/24.

A £10k increase in Community Volunteers’ expenses reflected the higher level of activity this year compared with last year when transport services were not in operation until September 2021. Expenditure on Charitable activities comprised support for team building for Hospital staff, and as in previous years, the funding of £12K for Blandford school and £6K for Blandford opportunity Group. Additionally, a grant of £10k was awarded to Age Concern in Sturminster to help with the running of their core activities in assisting the community. The commitment to cover £300,000 of the cost of the new MSK unit, as well as the C Arm and the OCT Scanner have already been accrued for in the accounts in previous years and awaiting payment. No further commitments have been made in the year towards Hospital Equipment and Amenities.

Expenditure on raising funds remained in line with last year. Staff costs showed a £10K reduction as a result of the Admin Support role being vacant during the year.

During this year, electronic tills were purchased and installed in the two shops, facilitating day to day control of income, as well as banking and accounting procedures. Shelving at a cost of £8K was fitted to the warehouse. A minibus has been purchased at a cost of £72K to replace our current one bought in 2013, delivery of which is expected July 2023.

On 31 March 2023 the value of investments held with M&G amounted to £2,561,301. This total, combined with the cash in our bank accounts of £282,789 gives us £2,844,090 of rapidly realisable funds, at the same level as last year. As at 31 March 2023 the total value of unrestricted reserves stood at £2,853,493.

Plans for the Future

Our ongoing project for Blandford Hospital next year will be upgrading the old Operating Theatre into a new, modern Treatment Facility, which was put on hold due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, due to other developments it has been put on hold once again.

With our Office Manager retiring, the Trustees considered how best to replace her. The issues were with staff reporting to different Trustees

• Too many managers – “top heavy”

• Variations in management styles

• Focused on specialist services with no corporate overview

• Staff have no overall view of the running of the charity

• Trustees are volunteers and have no formal line management status

• Complex rules relating to employment law, health & safety, payroll and pensions, performance management, annual appraisals, disciplinary procedures, and so on.

The preferred outcome was

• One person to have overall responsibility for managing staff

• Consistent approach to management style

• Able to take on a corporate responsibility for all aspects of charity aims and objectives

• Overall view of all staff performance and flexibility of staff time

• Paid manager with executive responsibility and leadership

• Professional and trained in HR resources to deal with day-to-day employment issues, managing annual leave and sickness absences, payroll and pensions, performance management and appraisals, and so on.

• Attends Board Meeting to present reports and answer questions – accountable to the Management Board.

After advertising within our own staff, we appointed Leonne Hughes as Operations Manager and are pleased to report that the whole staffing structure is working very well now that she is in post. See new structure below.

Currently, our membership stands at 644 members and we would like to increase this number.

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.

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

5. 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 three members of staff, Leonne Hughes – Charity Team Manager, Lisa Deverell – Community Transport Manager, Becca Norris – Charity Shops Manager. Each, along with the many volunteers, contribute significantly to the efficiency of the Friends’ organisation and activities. Lucy Collin – Charity Admin Support will be joining the team in mid-April.

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 2023 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 2023

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.

11

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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.

12

THE FRIENDS OF BLANDFORD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Charity Number 800482

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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.
