Trustees, Re
ort for the
ear ended 31 March 2026
The Trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2026.
The information with respect to Trustees and advisers set out from page 3 forms part of
this report. The financial statements comply with United Kingdom Accounting
Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102}, the Charities
Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2019, the Charities and Trustee
Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations
2006.
Structure Governance and Mana
ement
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's powers to hold funds on trust are set out in
Sections 82 to 84 of the NHS Scotland Act 1978. The Charity is registered as a
charity with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator under the number
SC005895.
The Charity's objective is the advancement of health, through..
a) improvement in the physical and mental heallh of the board's population.,
b) the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness-
c) the provision of services and facilities in connection to the above,. and
d) research into any matlers relating to the causation, prevention, diagnosis or
treatment of illness, or into such other matters relating to the health service as
the Trustees see fit.
The Trustees shall observe the principal of not granting charitable funds as a
substitute for a core provision, or to cover a responsibility of the NHS Greater
Glasgow and Clyde {NHSGGC) Board which is a requirement of health and safety,
employment law or a ministerial policy direction. This is in order to reduce the risk of
conflict of interest between the role of the NHSGGC Board and the Charity Trustees.
Trustee Appointment
The appointment as Trustee is legally distinct from the appointment as board
members and individual board members, in their capacity as Charity Trustees, are
required to meet the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment
(Scotland) Act 2005. No other individuals are permitted to be appointed to act as
Trustees.
The Trustees who served in the reporting period and up to the date of approval of
these accounts are listed on page 3. The Trustees of the Charity are also members
of the Board of NHSGGC. Non-executive members of the Board are appointed by
Scottish Ministers and are selected on the basis of their position or the particular
expertise which enables them to conlribute to the decision-making process at a
strategic level. The Trustees have agreed an Endowments Charter to govern the
administration of the charity. Operational control of the management of the charity is
delegated by the Trustees to the Healthcare Charity Committee (HCC), which is
currently chaired by Mr M Cawley. The Greater Glasgow and Clyde Healthcare
Charity is the operational name of the Charity.

Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026
The committee met four limes during the year {13 May, 19 August, 6 November, and
5 February) while the full Board of Trustees meets twice annually, which was
supplemented by two Trustee development sessions held during 2025-26. The
Trustee Development sessions included information and discussion on the roles and
responsibilities of charity Trustees, review the development of the charity's strategy,
and risk appetite. Feedback was sought following these sessions, and that feedback
will inform a rolling programme of development that will sit alongside Trustee
induction and support.
The arrangements for the induction and on-going training of Trustees are reviewed
on a regular basis. The information was reviewed in De￿mber of 2025, with updates
relating to the Charities and Trustees Investment Act included. Trustees receive a
comprehensive induction to the Charity when they join the Board, including an
induction pack which includes the Charity's Charter, Trustee Role Description and
Code of Conduct, and Conflict of Interest Policy. Members of the HCC are also
invited to seminars and other development opportunities throughout the year on
governance, investment, and charitable funding.
Financial Management
The Board's Standing Financial Instruclions contain details of the scheme of
delegation for the endowment funds and this includes budgelary control
arrangements and provision for the delegation of responsibility to designated senior
officialsltruslees of the Board.
The remit of the HCC includes approval of budgetary proposals, monitoring of
expenditure against budget and approval of proposals for individual items of
expenditure in line with delegated authority. The HCC also considers grant requests
mainly for expenditure from the general fund and has responsibility for the
appointment of investment managers and advisers and receipt from them of periodic
reports on performance.
It is also relevant to note that a significant body of restricted funds are of a custodian
nature established at the request of designated fundholders and controlled by them
on an operational basis, but subject to the general oversight of the Trustees.
Powers of Investment
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's powers of investment in its capacity as corporate
Trustee of the Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds are principally
derived from the Charity's Charter and the Charities and Trustee Investment
(Scotland) Act 2005.. Trustees are entitled to make any kind of investment of the
endowment including a wider power lo acquire stocks and shares. Trustees, duties
before making an investment are to consider the need for diversification of
investments, consider the suitability of the proposed investmenls, and to consider
obtaining appropriate advice. Trustees also have powers to appoint nominees (i.e.
an investment manager) for the purpose of investment. Newton Investment
Management ('Newton'l have fulfilled this role for the Charity since their appointment
in 2017.

Principal Risks and their Management
The Risk Management Strategy 2025-28 for NHSGGC applies equally lo the
Endowment Funds. This was approved at the October 2025 NHSGGC Board
meeting and is supplemented by a Risk Management Policy and robust guidance
protocols. This is supported by a separate risk appetite statement specific to the
Charity which covers five key risk types.. operating. legal, financiallcommercial.
reputational, and workforce.
Risk scoring is done on the basis of Likelihood x Impact = Risk Score.
Initial Score- The score is assessed when the risk is first identified.
Current Score= The risk score taking into account any controls that are
currently in place to manage the risk.
Target Score.. the desired risk score required to have managed the risk to
acceptable levels.

The charity highlighted the need to explore an independent risk register, with risk
categories and appetite statements aligned to its strategy. This will be an area of
focus for the charity moving forward into 2026-27.
A risk register is maintained for the Charity, which is reviewed annually by the HCC,
with the last review taking place at its May 2025 meeting. The risk register currently
details six risks which are summarised below.

Mitigating actions and controls have been discussed with the health board's Chief
Risk Officer and agreed by the HCC, reflecting the reduction from the initial to the
current scores above. Mitigating controls broadly include..
regular and transparent reporting arrangements to the HCC and Board of
Trustees.
robust govemance controls around the Charity's constitution and expenditure
from funds.,
a suitably qualified and resOUr￿d Finance and Endowments team to
administer the funds., and
regular engagement with the investment managers who are independent from
the endowment funds and sufficiently qualified and experienced to discharge
their duties.
Looking forward into 2026-27 and beyond. the principal area of uncertainty for the
Charity is the volatility of investment values as global markets continue to contend
with wider economic headwinds.
Performance review and lans for future
eriods
The Charity provides millions of pounds of charitable funding to projects that benefit
staff and patients every year to advance the health of the people of Greater Glasgow
and Clyde. The Charity's budget is aligned to four overarching themes under which
funding is provided. These themes provide opportunities for flexibility to meet the
needs of our population and ensure that our funding is making a difference to the
community we serve.

Each block grant covers a specific theme which is aligned to the Charity's strategic
themes. Bid approvals and spend against each block grant fund is reported to the
HCC on a quarterly basis. The Healthcare Charity Committee receives outcomes
reports annual from each governance group this provides opportunities to review the
impact of our charitable funding.
Highlights of Block Grants Outcomes report show the range of activities and projects
funded through this initiative. They also demonstrate the commitment of staff on the
governance groups to distribute these charitable funds and enhance and improve the
experience of patients, families, and those that deliver healthcare in our community.
These include:

The appointment of a Head of Healthcare Charity in October of 2025 provides the
charity with an opportunity to develop its strategy, processes, and approach at pace.
It is anticipated that in 2026-2027 there will be a launch of a new strategy,
application journey. and regular progress reported on the release of dormant funds.
The charity will also undertake a full review of its governan￿ documentation in the
year ahead. This will include a development session and exploration of an
independent risk register for the charity, recognising the intent of Trustees to align
with best practice.
Financial Review
The statement of financial activities for the year is set out on page 23 of the financial
statements. A summary of the financial results and the work of the charily are set out
below.
The charity's overall income for the year was £11.6m which represents an increase
of £0.9m compared with the prior year. Income is categorised into four main
headings which are: donations and legacies, being donations from individuals.
charitable foundations, corporate bodies and legacies,. income from charitable
activities which includes sponsorship of research activity, and fee income from
courseslother services provided by clinical staff. and investment income. There is a
final category of other income covering all income not listed above.
The charity does not engage directly in fundraising activities. Expenditure incurred
on raising funds relates exclusively to fees paid to the fund's investment manager.
Income from donations and legacies was approximately £0.6m lower than that in the
prior year. This is mainly due to having a lower number of legacies and donations
from individuals in the current year compared to 2024-25. It should be noted that
legacy income can fluctuate year on year.
Income from charitable activities was £1.4m higher than the prior year, primarily due
to an increase in income from clinical trialslresearch. Income generated from
investmenls was approximately £0.1 m greater Ihan the prior year and this was
across categories of both dividend income and fixed interest securities.
Total expenditure from unrestricted funds amounted to £5.8m, compared wilh £5.7m
in the prior year. The spend from General Fund included support for a range of
patient and staff amenity expenditure, voluntary services, as well as specific budget
allocations from the General Funds as noted above. Expenditure from restricted
funds was marginally higher than that for the previous year, with research costs
(£5.7m) and staff travel and training (£1.1m) being the largest areas of spend from
restricted funds.
The HCC approved a three-year budget covering the period 2023-24 to 2025-26 in
May 2023, with a proposed budget for 2026-27 presented to the HCC in May 2026.

Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026
Total budget approvals equalled £8.8m across the fund's budget themes for the
2025-26 financial year, with £5.2m of expenditure incurred in-year. It is typical for
there to be a delay between the funding approval and the expenditure being incurred
while the projects for which funding has been provided get established and become
operational.
Reserves
The Trustees have established a policy whereby a proportion of unrestricted funds
has been set aside to cover management costs and routine patienustaff amenity
expenditure. It is considered that the level of investments carried is required to
generate sufficient income to maintain charitable activities. It is envisaged that the
remaining "free reserves" including investments will be utilised over a period of
years to fund a phased programme of non-recurring expenditure. Free reserves
amounted to £17.6m (2024-25.. £13.5m) and these consist of unrestricted funds.
Investment Polic
and Performance
The Trustees, investment objective is to maximise the overall rate of return.
Investments currently comprise three separate portfolios, denoted as the A, B and C
portfolios.
The objective of the "A" portfolio is to achieve a return equivalent to the Retail
Price Index plus 30/0-4 % per annum over the long term through a broadly
diversified portfolio. This includes a mixture of equities. giltslbonds, and a
minimum level of cash investment.
The "B" portfolio is a lower risk holding intended to cover those funds where
protection from capital fluctuation is necessary and is invested in Newion's
Global Dynamic Bond Fund.
Portfolio "C" is a cash holding with level of investment to cover cash
requirements throughout the year.
The Trustees have agreed to a moderate tolerance of risk, accepting that at times
this will mean accepting short or medium-term declines in capital values. Newton
Investment Management was appointed as fund manager effective from 1 April
2017. This contract can be terminated at any time by either party subject to minimum
90 days, notice period. The performance of the investment portfolio is monitored in
the quarterly reports provided by the investment managers with the target being to
outperform agreed composite benchmarks over rolling 3-year periods.
The return on investment {shown net of fees) achieved by the fund manager over the
most recent three calendar years is shown below. Note that Newton work on
calendar years. therefore. the 2026 Quarter 1 position reflects performance at 31
March 2026. A review of our Investment Strategy will be undertaken in 2026-27.

The funds have generally tracked benchmark, however, performance fell below
benchmark during 2023 as a result of interest rates persisting at higher levels for
longer than anticipated, and a slower than expected post COVID-19 recovery in key
global economies. Following a modest recovery during 2024, the firsl quarter of 2025
was marked by an unpredictable policy agenda in the US which depressed
performance, particularly within equities. The position was then recovered
throughout 2025, with key growth areas being within artificial intelligence and other
technological investments. The final quarter of 2025-26 was marked by further
uncertainties in global markets, predominantly arising from US foreign policy
operations, which resulted in the fund underperforming against its benchmark.

The year-end market value of the investment portfolio administered by Newton was
£109.4m compared with £104.3M in the prior year. The increase in carrying value
was due to net investment gains of £7.Om, split between £1.8m of realised gains and
£5.2m of unrealised gains. Good investment perf0rrnan￿ for most of 2025-26,
particularly across equities relating to technology and commodities, contributed
positively to increases in market value within the portfolio. However, unrealised gains

saw a reduction in the final months of 2025-26 due to the conflict in Iran and
resulting uncertainty across global markets. Early indicators show that the fund's
investment value has not been materially impacted in 2026-27.
Investment management costs of £533k were incurred in 2025-26 (2024-25.. £505k}.
The investment management fee is calculated in accordance with the fee scale
agreed at time of last tender and effective from 1 April 2017.
Ethical and Responsible Investment
The Fund is managed according to the Greater Glasgow and Clyde ethical policy.
implemented using a sustainable investment screening tool by the investment
manager. The fund manager, in particular in the equity portfolio, is encouraged to
take an active approach to engagement in Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) issues when considering both existing and prospective investments. A
quarterly report on ethical investment is prepared by the fund manager and shared
with the Charity.
The Trustees maintain the following investment restrictions, which would be in direct
conflict with the Charity s objectives=
No direct investments in companies involved in tobacco production, distillers
of alcoholic beverages, armaments or fossil fuels. Screened at 100/0 of
turnover.

Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds
Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026
Trustees, responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, report and the annual
accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial
year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the
Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that
they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming
resources and application of resources, including 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-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent-
state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice
have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained
in the financial statements-
state whether the financial statements comply with applicable accounting
standards and the requiremenls of the National Heallh Service {Scotland} Act
1978, 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 its activities.
The Trustees are required to act in accordance with the National Health Service
(Scotland) Act 1978, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for
keeping adequate accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with
reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable
the Trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them
under section 44 of the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland} Act 2005 and
regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended},
those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that
provision. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably
open to them to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud
and other irregularities.
Financial statements are published on the charity's website in accordance with
legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of
financial statements, which may vary from legislation in otherjurisdictions. The
maintenance and integrity of the charity's website is the responsibility of the
Trustees. The Trustees, responsibilily also exlends to the ongoing integrity of the
financial stalements contained therein.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF GREATER GLASGOW HEALTH BOARD ENDOWMENT FUNDS** 

## **Report on the audit of the financial statements** 

## **Opinion** 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its incoming resources, application of resources and cash flows for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, as amended. 

We have audited the financial statements of Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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). 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## _Independence_ 

We remain independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 

## **Conclusions related to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

18 




## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF GREATER GLASGOW HEALTH BOARD ENDOWMENT FUNDS (CONTINUED)** 

## **Other information** 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our  auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion; 

the information given in the Trustees’ Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; 

- proper accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

19 




## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF GREATER GLASGOW HEALTH BOARD ENDOWMENT FUNDS (CONTINUED)** 

However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the Charity and management. 

## _Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud_ 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

## _Non-compliance with laws and regulations_ 

Based on: 

- Our understanding of the Charity’s and the sector in which it operates; 

- Discussion with management and those charged with governance; and 

- Obtaining and understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. 

We considered the significant laws and regulations to be compliance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities SORP and the requirements of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 

The Charity is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. 

Our procedures in respect of the above included: 

- Enquires of management whether there were any litigations and claims; 

- Enquires of the legal team of the Charity; 

- Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations; 

- Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation; and 

- Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred. 

## _Fraud_ 

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: 

- Enquiry with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or suspected instances of fraud; 

- Obtaining an understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures relating to: `o` Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and `o` Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud. 

- Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with governance for any known or suspected instances of fraud; 

- Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements; and 

- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be management override of control and manual journal posted to income. 

20 




## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF GREATER GLASGOW HEALTH BOARD ENDOWMENT FUNDS (CONTINUED)** 

Our procedures in respect of the above included: 

- Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met a defined risk criteria, by agreeing to supporting documentation. 

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members who were all deemed to have appropriate competence and capabilities and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. 

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** 

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026** 

## **1 Significant accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charity SORP (FRS 102)), and The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The NHSGGC Healthcare Charity is an unincorporated charity registered in Scotland with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) under the number SC005895. Its powers to hold funds on trust are set out in sections 82 to 85 of the NHS Scotland Act 1978. Details of its administrative office (registered office) are included on page 4. These financial statements are presented in pounds sterling (GBP) as that is the currency in which the Charity’s transactions are denominated. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity (PBE), as defined in FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of investment assets. 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Trustees to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The only material estimate applied in these financial statements relates to the carrying value of investments as disclosed in Note 1.10. 

## **1.2 Going Concern** 

The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis, which provides that the entity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have considered a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements and have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to meet its obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. 

## **1.3 Income** 

Donations and legacies are credited to the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. Legacies are accounted for on receipt of correspondence from the personal representative indicating that payment of the legacy will be made. 

Fees receivable and charges for services, for example from the completion of medical tests or delivery of training courses, are accounted for in the period in which the revenue is receivable. Incoming resources are included gross of any tax recoverable. 

Grants receivable and research sponsorship income are credited to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable. 

26 



Docusign Envelope ID: A4B4D837-F326-820E-81E4-A11CA7ABF40E 

## **Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** 

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is due. 

## **1.4 Expenditure and recognition of liabilities** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.  The costs of raising funds are those incurred in making payments to the Fund’s investment manager and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of charitable activities. 

Charitable expenditure is classified to reflect the main areas of activity of the charity with a more detailed analysis given in the notes to the accounts. All expenditure is allocated directly to the appropriate expenditure heading. 

Management and administration costs, excluding governance costs, which are separately disclosed, are allocated against the unrestricted funds. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity. This includes costs related to the statutory audit. 

Liabilities arise from legal or constructive obligations that commit the charity to expenditure. A liability and related expenditure are recognised when all of the following criteria are met: 

- Obligation – a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the reporting date as a result of a past event. 

- Probable – it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits, often cash, will be required in settlement. 

- Measurement – the amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **1.5 Taxation and VAT** 

The Charity has charitable status and is exempt from income tax under Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and capital gains tax under Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 and the Charity is entitled to describe itself as a Scottish charity. Any irrecoverable VAT is charged to the statement of financial activities or capitalised as part of the cost of the related asset, where appropriate.  The Charity is not separately registered for VAT. As permitted by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) under the NHS Contracted Out Services Regulations, VAT on relevant invoices paid from Endowment Funds is reclaimed using NHSGGC’s own VAT registration reference. Amounts reclaimed are credited to the endowment funds which bore the costs initially. 

## **1.5 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, balances held in commercial banks and any other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 

## **1.6 Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific 

27 



Docusign Envelope ID: A4B4D837-F326-820E-81E4-A11CA7ABF40E 

## **Greater Glasgow Health Board Endowment Funds Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** 

restrictions imposed by donors, or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity. Solely the income generated from those assets may be spent in accordance with the donors’ wishes. 

Investment income and gains/losses are allocated to unrestricted funds. 

## **1.7 Investments** 

Investments are included at closing bid-market value at the balance sheet date. Any realised and unrealised gains and losses on revaluation or disposals are combined in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.8 Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **1.9 Staff costs** 

The Charity is a grant making charity and has no employees (Charity staff are employees of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde), therefore there is no pension liability recognised. The staff costs disclosed in these financial statements reflect recharged salaries from the health board incurred in the day-to-day operation of the charity. 

## **1.10 Significant judgements and estimates** 

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The Charity makes judgements in applying accounting policies. The only material estimate relates to the determination of carrying value of investments at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **1.11 Post Balance Sheet Events** 

Where events take place after the financial year-end but before the signing of the annual accounts, and provide information about conditions existing as at 31 March, the figures in the financial statements and notes are adjusted in all material aspects to reflect the impact of this information. No such events have been identified for the 2025-26 financial statements.
