  • tsfessage from Corporate Trustee

    2011/12 was a notable year both for the fundraising efforts of our donors and some of theexciting projects which have been supported by the chanty.

    Our donors have hand-cycled from Lands End to john O'Groats, ridden their bikes acrossWales and solicited gifts for the hospital mstead of themselves at their weddings andbirthdays. On behalf of the Trustees I must thank everyone for their hard work andgenerosity.

    During 2011/12 the chanty continued to support research projects aimed at benefitingosteoporosis and arthritis patients.

    There have also been a number of small purchases which have provided extra comfort forour patients.

    We are looking forward to 2012/13 which will see the charity making a significantcontribution towards the major scheme to redevelop part of the hospital, due for completionin early summer 2012 and which will have a positive impact on all of the hospital's patientsand visitors.

    We are planning to actively raise funds for the charity and looking at launching an appeal toprovide facilities dedicated to turnour and cancer patients.

    These are all made possible by the generous contribution of so many different people.So, thank you once again to everyone who contributed and to those who continue to supportus.

    Structure Governan and Mana m nt

    In ils operation of the charitable funds, the corporate trustee has had regard to the chantyCommission's guidance on independence and established the Chaditable Funds Committee toassist in maintaining independence. It does this by ensuring that the use of charitable fundsis focused on the needs of the NHS patients, their carers and families.

    All the funds held on trust as at the date of registration on 28 October 1996 wereunrestricted, The chanty's restricted funds were created subsequently following the receiptof two legacies. Subsequent donations and gifts received by the charity that are attributableto the original funds are added to those fund balances within the existing charity.

    To assist the corporate trustee in the day to day rnanagernent of the unrestricted charitablefunds, the funds available for spending are allocated to designated funds within the generalfund related to the purpose of the donation or gift. For example, there are charitable fundsfor each ward, for some of the therapy departments such as Physiotherapy and OccupationalTherapy and for specific areas such as Arthritis and Rheumatism and the Spmal Injuries Unit.Where no specific area is indicated then the gift is allocated to the non-designated generalfund.

    The charity's funds are invested and accounted for separately from other income received bythe hospital for the provision of healthcare. This is in accordance with the requirement of the2011 Charities Act.

    The corporate trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance withthe objects of each fund and by designating the funds the trustee respects the wishes of ourgenerous donors to benefit patient care and advance the good health and welfare of patients,and the carers and staff who look aRer them.New Trust Board members, as agents for the corporate trustee, are committed to familiansethemselves with their responsibilities. In broad terms, trustees have a duty to ensurecompliance with charity law and accounting regulations set out by the Charity Commission; a

    Partnershi Workin an Networks

    The Robert Jones ac Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is a related partyby virtue of being corporate trustee of the chanty. By working in partnership with the Trust,the charitable funds are used to best effect. When deciding upon the most beneficial way touse charitable funds, the corporate trustee has regard to the main activities, objectives,strategies and plans of the Trvst. However, overriding this, the corporate trustee is requiredby the Charity Commission to ensure all decisions are made in the interests of the charity tofurther its charitable objects and that there is a clear and open process of decision making bythe corporate trustee.

    The trustee safeguards the independence of the charity by ensuring that sound governancearrangements are in place, in line with gvidance issued by the Charity Commission.

    We remain indebted to the work of the volunteers of the Robert Jones and Agnes HuntHospital League of Friends who raise thousands of pounds of funds each year.

    Ob'ectives and Strate

    The object of the charity as stated in the Declaration of Trust document is 'Any chantabiepurpose or purposes relating to the lflational Health Service wholly or mainly for the serviceprovided by Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedfc and Distnct Hospital NHS Trust. "Given this wide remit, the charity seeks in particular to add to or enhance the servicesprovided by the NHS whilst ensuring that the wishes of the donors are respected at all times.

    The charity has an underlying duty and objective to ensure all donations are spent inaccordance with the wishes of donors and, consequently, specific svb funds have beencreated with a fund advisor from the relevant service or department appointed by the trusteeto ensure this objective is met.

    The income to achieve this is mainly received from donations, legacies and interestreceivable. The main areas of activity are patient and staff welfare.

    Generatmg income and achieving ovr objective involves all our partners including staff,patients and their families, carers, and the local community.

    Grant Makin Poli

    The use of our funds is restricted by the governing document which established the charityfor the purposes connected with the NHS. All grant requests have to be countersigned by therelevant Divisional Manager or Executive Director to confirm that expenditure would be in linewith the strategic objectives of the division and the Foundation Trust. Authorisation issubject to the delegated authority levels previously listed. Grants are normally made fromthe charity's unrestricted funds. These funds consist of two elements, the general fund andthe designated sub-funds of the general fund,

    General Fund —constituted of gifts received by the charity where no particular preference asto its expenditure by donors. Any member of staff may apply for a grant from the general

    Page 10 of 26

    The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Oithopaedic Hospital Charitable Funds,Trustee's Annual Report ts Accounts 2011-12

  • fund, Typically this fund is used for areas with no or insufficient designated funds or forhospital wide events or purchases.

    Designated Funds —these contain gifts where a wish was expressed to benefit a particularpart af the hospital or activity by the donor at the time the gift was made. Although theirnomination is noi binding on the trustee, the designated funds exist to enable the charity tohonour the wishes of aur donors without plaang restrictions on the chanty which might resultin the monies not being spent in a timely manner. Each fund has a fund advisor, usually theclinical lead or the ward manager, who makes recommendations on proposed grants. Whilstthese recommendations are not binding on the trustee, they are normally accepted.

    Public Benefit Statement

    In partnership with Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS FoundationTrust, the charity aims to:

    ~ enhance the provision of high quality patient care for the public benefit;~ support research in areas relevant to the hospital's activity and patients and to make

    such research publicly available; and~ support the provision of healthcare free at the point of need and cares for the

    patients, families, carers and staff by focusing on areas not covered ar fullysupported by central NHS funds.

    These objectives and the activities described below fall within those set out in the CharitiesAct 2011 and meet the criteria for public benefit.

    R view of Finances and Activities for 2011 12

    Our ActivitiesThe focus of our charitable work is to advance patient care, firstly by funding equipment,facilities, therapies and training and secondly through supporting patients and their carersand families. During the year the charity continued to support a wide range of charitable andhealth related activities benefiting patients, their carers, their families and the hospital staffwho care for them. Funds were used to purchase goods and services over and above thoseprovided by the hospita! from central NHS funds. Further details are given under the patientWelfare and Amenities expenditure paragraph below.

    In addition, gifts are often received fram patients or their families to thank the staff wholooked after them. This is reflected in the use of funds to enable staff to attend courseswhich are not normally funded by the NHS but will benefit patients such as counselling andlistening skills or conferences of a specialist interest or to access morale boosting events,facilities and amenities.

    The charity also makes available funds to sponsor non-commercial research in areas whereour partner NHS Foundation Trust has considerable expertise with a view to developing newtherapies for treating and caring for patients. These projects refIect the nature of thedesignated funds they are funded from and are subject to the scrutiny of the Trust'sResearch Committee before they were approved. During 2011/12 the charity continued tosupport two research projects.

    The General Fund receives donations and legacies that may be used for any charitablepurpose relating to the NHS. This flexibility has been used to fund staff recognition awardssuch as prizes for the "One hundred ideas in one hundred days" scheme which was runfollowing the hospital's authansation as an NHS Foundation Trust on 1 August 2011, staffwelfare expenditure such as a self-referral scheme for staff for physiotherapy and theinstallation and supply of water coolers in areas where drinking water is nat otherwisesupplied. The charity has also funded the digitalisation of medical records to improve access.

  • Reserves

    The charity's reserves policy takes note of the Charity Commission publication CC19 Charitiesand Reserves.

    This publication defines reserves as being that part of a charity's unrestricted funds that isfreely available ta spend on any of the charity's purposes, This definition excludes restrictedincome funds, although holding such funds may influence a charity's reserve policy. Reserveswill also normally exclude amounts designated for essential future spending.

    Charity law requires any income received by a charity to be spent within a reasonable periodof receipt and trustees should be able to justify the holding of this income as reserves.

    The Trustees have established a "free" reserves target af 6125,000 to cover payment ofsupport costs far the charity and to allow grants for expenditure to be made in the context ofan uneven income flow.

    The reserve is calculated as being that part of this charity's unrestricted funds that is freelyavailable after taking account of designated funds which have been earmarked for specificpurposes.

    l~ttThe Trustees have adopted a prudent investment policy in the face of an uncertain financialclimate. The policy is also informed by cash flow requirements, in particular the expectationaf any significant expenditure or fundraising due to occur.

    The Trustees have decided not to invest in equities and to place the funds an deposit, havingdue regard to the security rating of the investment bodies, with a view to maximising thereturn whilst maintaining security.

    The Trustees have decided that if, in the future, funds were to be invested in equities noinvestment would be made in companies which derive a substantial amount of their profitfrom investment in tobacco, gambling or alcohol.

    At the end of 2011/12 no funds were invested and all funds were held with the GovernmentBanking Service in the charity's current account.

    Other Grants Payable:Total expenditure for 2011-12was E9,448 compared to E11,190 in 2010-11 and includedlaptop computers for Spinal Injury consultants and the cost of a visit to the hospital byPrincess Alexandria who toured the TORCH facility which was built and equipped following asuccessful appeal by the charity.

    Administration Costs:

    SupportSupport costs for 2011-12 tol'alled E33,101, compared to E28,268 in 2010-11.The funds areadministered by Hospital staff, and a fixed proportion of their salary is charged to theCharitable Funds. Other operational costs of running the charity include bank charges and theannual charitable funds accounting software licence fee.

    The Robert 3ones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospilal Charitable Funds,Trustee's Annual Report & Accounts 2011-12

  • Governance Costs and TransfersGovernance costs for 2011-12were E19,731, compared to 625,048 in 2010-11.These are thecosts associated with the governance arrangements and indude the proportion of timedevoted to the Charitable Funds by the Director of Finance and the External Auditor's fees.

    For the designated non-restricted funds, the cost of governance is charged straight to theundesignated General Fund. For the restricted funds, their share of governance costs arecharged to each fund and then a transfer is made from the general fund to the restrictedfund for an amount equivalent to the i estricted fund's governance costs.

    The transfer of f4,824 is the movement of funds from the unrestricted, General Fund, to therestricted funds in lieu of those administration charges which would have been borne directlyby the General Fund if they had been applied to non —restricted funds.

    Present and Future Pro ects

    The many changes in the NHS continue to shape the environment m which the charityoperates. The reconfiguration of services and plans for redesigning patient care to meet theneeds of the future will continue to influence the priorities for spending charitable funds.

    Post year end a f600,000 contnbution was approved and made towards a majordevelopment being undertaken at the Trust. This is to improve the facilities for patients ontheir arrival at the hospital. It involves a new main entrance and reception complex in closeproximity to the outpatient and diagnostic facilities and relocating the patients' car park closeby the main entrance. This project was well on its way to completion as at 31 March 2012and opened in May. Conditional approval had been made subject to the successfulcompletion and opening of the facilities.

    The charity will also be contributing to a new medical unit from restricted funds which wereoriginally set up following legacies received for the benefit of the arthritis and rheumatismpatients to be treated in the unit.

    The Charitable Funds Committee has also discussed the approval of an appeal to raise fundsfor new facilities for cancer and tumour patients. This appeal will be set up subject toapproval of the relevant business case by the Trust Board and would be a significant projectfor the charity.

    The Trustees continue to rewew the expenditure plans for the other designated funds.

  • Notes to the Accounts

    Note I Accounting Policies

    Basis of Preparation

    The charity's Trustee's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 3IMarch 2012 have been prepared on behalf of the corporate trustee inaccordance with Part 8 of the Charities Act 20II and the regulationsthereunder. Accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis in line withthe charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).

    Accounting Convention

    The financial statements have been prepared under the historic costconvention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accountingstandards and the charities' Statement of Recommended Practice"Accounting and Repo*ing by Charities" issued by the Charity Commission in?005 (as updated).

    Incoming Resources

    a) All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of FinancialActivities as soon as the following three factors can be met:

    i) entitlement —arises when a particular resource is receivableor the charity's right becomes legally enforceable;

    ii) certainty —when there is reasonable cestainty that theincoming resource will be received;

    measurement —when the monetary value of the incomingresources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Onceincoming resources have been recognised in the accounts,these will be apportioned across relevant funds on aconsistent and transparent basis.

    b) Legacies

    Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of thelegacy becomes reasonably certain. This will be once confirmation hasbeen received from the representatives of the estates that payment ofthe legacy will be made or property transferred and once all conditionsattached to the legacy have been fulfilled, or on cash receipt, whicheveris earlier.

    Resources Expended

    The charity's accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept.All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligationto make a payment to a third party.

    a) Grants payable

    Grants payable are authorised in line with the delegated authority limitsof the Charitable Funds Committee and are payments made to thirdparties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the charity's

    Page IS of 26

    The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Onbopaedic Hospital charrtable Funds,Truatee'S Annual Repert ttr ACCOuntS 2011-12

  • objective. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where theconditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has areasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.

    b) Governance and Support Costs

    Governance and Support costs are accounted for on an accruals basis.Governance costs are made up of an appropriate proportion of theChairman, Non Executive Directors and Director of Finance costs.Support Costs include the costs of staff administering the income andexpenditure of the charity and other expenditure incurred in the day today running of the charity.

    c) l2esearch and Development Costs

    These are accounted for on an accruals basis and are included in the"grants payable" expenditure line in the accounts.

    Structure of funds

    Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may bespent, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Other fundsare classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restrictedbut which the agents of the trustee have chosen to earmark for set purposesare classified as designated funds. The major funds held within thesecategories are disclosed in notes 8.1 and 8.2.

    Change in the Basis of Accounting

    There has been no change in the basis of accounting during the year.

    Cash Flow Statement

    No Cash Flow statement is included as this is not required for charities whichfall below the "small company threshold. "

    Pooling Scheme

    The charity does not have an official pooling scheme,

    Except where restricted funds are invested separately, all returns on anyinvestments are apportioned on an average funds balance basis to the valueof funds they relate to. The values of any separately invested funds arededucted from restricted funds values prior to apportionment, TheCharitable Funds Committee believes this to be a fair and consistentapproach. Any gains or losses made on the funds invested separately forrestricted funds are solely allocated to the relevant restricted fund,

    Short Term Investments and Deposits

    The methodology used to split the value of short term cash investmentsbetween restricted and unrestricted funds is the same as detailed above.

    Debtors/Creditors

    The charity adopts the accruals concept to the calculation of all debtors andcreditors.

    The Robert 3ones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital Chantable Funds,Trustee's Annual Report 5 Accounts 2011-12

    Page 19 of 26

  • Provisions/Commitments

    The charity adopts the accruals concept to the calculation of all commitmentsand provisions in the accounts, Grant commitments are recognised whereconstructive obligations arise which result in a payment being unavoidable,

    Plans for future expenditure where there is no such obligation are notcommitments in accounting terms and have not been included in theseaccounts. However, these plans for future expenditure are included on fundstatements and in reports to the Charitable Funds Committee where they areconsidered useful.
