Our vision

To be a leading charity promoting extraordinary healthcare.

Our mission

To raise, invest and grant funds for innovation and improvement in patient care, medical research and education.

Our beneficiaries

We support projects that will enhance the health and well-being of our beneficiaries, namely the people receiving NHS medical care, attention or treatment.

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

Our grants strategy We award grants to support innovative healthcare and medical research to promote the health and well-being of the many communities served by Barts Health. Our strategy is to support the best people and the best projects, building on excellence. In this way, our funding can make a real difference to healthcare, now and in the future. We liaise closely with Barts Health and the Medical School to ensure that grants are awarded in areas of strategic importance. We obtain independent opinions on grant applications, to ensure that projects are worthwhile and offer good value for money. We also track projects to ensure they achieve their milestones and main aims in order to demonstrate impact.

Our financial strategy Barts Charity plans to exist in perpetuity, a principle that guides our investment and grant-giving strategies. Our investments
are managed with a long-term perspective, generating income to support an annual grant-giving programme while also growing our asset base. Our investments are widely diversified by asset type, geographically and by fund manager.

Our principal
focus is on securing ‘major gifts’ (between £10,000 and £1m) from individuals, corporate bodies and charitable trusts. We have established a ‘Barts Ambassador’ programme to underpin our major donor strategy. We also rely on the exceptional generosity of many individual fundraisers and donations from patients and their families, and are looking to grow our income from in memoriam donations and legacies. Because endowment income covers all our administrative costs, we can guarantee that 100% of every donation supports a donor’s chosen cause.

Chairman’s and Chief Executive’s report This has been a momentous year, as we became the first NHS charity to achieve full independence. In 2014, new rules were introduced enabling NHS charities to become independent of the Department of Health – removing dual oversight whereby such charities are regulated by both the Department of Health and the Charity Commission. We had been anticipating this move, and recent changes to our governance arrangements have been based on the long-term goal of achieving independence. Hence we were able to move swiftly once the rule changes were formally announced, and acquired our independence in July 2014. The change in status has a number of important implications. One practical outcome is that it will reduce our administrative burden, as we will be reporting only to the Charity Commission. More importantly, however, independence provides us with more freedom to act strategically on behalf of our beneficiaries – the populations served by Barts Health NHS Trust – and to fulfil the wishes of our donors. Indeed, with our finances in rude health, we are looking to award substantial sums to ventures aiming to deliver significant benefits to patients, as well as maintaining our annual grant-giving programme. This year, we released a third tranche of funding to our major trauma initiative, bringing our total funding to £3m, and we committed £3.4m to establish a world-leading centre focusing on diabetic kidney disease. Furthermore, we are in

4

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

advanced discussions regarding further major awards to strategically important areas – exciting projects we hope to report on in future years. Our independence gives us scope to be even more imaginative in our grant-giving. We are, for example, exploring the potential for international collaborations to enable Barts clinician scientists to forge closer ties with world-leading centres outside the UK. This is, therefore, the beginning of an exciting new era for Barts Charity. We are pleased that Barts Health NHS Trust has contributed so constructively to all governance discussions, and we look forward to maintaining a close working relationship with the Trust. Alongside these strategically important moves, we have also been modernising and integrating our business systems. Our integration project will provide a common IT infrastructure for our grant-giving, fundraising and financial operations, ensuring that we continue to be an efficient, professionally run organisation. We would like to pay tribute to Nicholas Woolf, who is stepping down as Deputy Chairman. Nicholas has been a key figure in Barts Charity since 2002 and especially in recent years as we have prepared for our new independent status. His calmness and good judgement, particularly in financial matters, have been enormously helpful and greatly appreciated.

Grants

We support projects that will enhance the health and well-being of our beneficiaries, the individuals and communities served by Barts Health. Barts Charity’s grants programme supports projects that enhance high standards of care, and funds research of major importance to health. The aim is to ensure that St Bartholomew’s Hospital, The Royal London Hospital and the other institutions under the Barts Health umbrella maintain their position at the forefront of innovative healthcare delivery. Funding is aligned with areas of known strength, including cardiovascular medicine, paediatrics and trauma. Through our annual grants programme, we provide two forms of support: small project grants up to £20,000 and project grants from £20,000 to £500,000. During 2014/15, 36 grants were awarded – 20 small project grants and 16 project grants – totalling £7.4m. In addition, exceptional grants funding of some

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

£4.4m was committed in 2014/15. Our long-term aim is to increase the number of large awards we make that are genuinely transformational. A good example has been our major support to establish a centre for translational trauma research, which received its third £1m tranche of funding this year (see page 8). We committed £3.4m to create what will be a world-leading site for research into, and care of, diabetic kidney disease (see page 6). We are currently exploring a range of exciting possibilities, and look forward to announcing other major awards in the near future. Other awards made this year have also focused on trauma and critical care, including new echocardiography equipment to enhance patient care and research that may help to identify people at risk of severe

infections in critical care (see page 9). In cancer, we are supporting research on a rare but devastating condition affecting children (see page 12), as well as an innovative pilot study that may ultimately enable clinicians to provide psychological as well as clinical support to people genetically destined to develop cancers in adulthood (see page 13). We have continued to support innovative community outreach projects, particularly focused on HIV, hepatitis viruses and sexual health (see page 10). We have also provided funding to advance highly innovative approaches to medical teaching, through new video-streaming and virtual reality technologies (see page 7) – an area where the Medical School is leading the way nationally and internationally.

Transforming care of diabetic kidney disease A major new grant from Barts Charity will help to create one of Europe’s leading sites for treatment and research into diabetic kidney disease.

Diabetes has a major impact on the health and lives of East Londoners. Nearly a third of people living with diabetes will develop diabetic kidney disease – a serious complication that can lead to kidney failure and a need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Barts Health’s Renal Unit, one of the UK’s largest renal services, provides specialist care for an ethnically diverse population of almost 2 million people across North-East London. With £3.4m

6

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

funding from Barts Charity, Professor Magdi Yaqoob, Dr Neil Ashman and colleagues aim to build on this platform to transform the delivery of care, to generate a better understanding of diabetic kidney disease, and to develop new and improved treatments. The programme’s research will aim to identify possible new treatments, which can then be tested in large clinical trials. The uniquely diverse ethnic mix of East London offers the opportunity to understand mechanisms of disease and test treatments relevant to people with diabetes all over the world. A further important aim is to develop a more proactive approach to patient management. The team is forging stronger links with GPs, developing automated systems that spot deteriorating kidney function at an early stage, enabling patients to be treated

promptly to prevent complications. Over time, this network will be used to identify 35,000 people at risk of kidney disease who can be followed up continuously and enrolled in research – by far the largest such cohort in Europe. A related aim is to provide a more patient-centred approach to treatment. People with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease live at risk of several other complications, including cardiovascular disease, loss of sight and foot problems. Patients can end up seeing multiple specialists, and their care is not always as joined up as it might be. The kidney team is developing a single multidisciplinary clinic that will provide more integrated care, bringing specialists to the patient. Barts Diabetic Kidney Centre is being supported by a £3,369,000 grant from Barts Charity.

Film show A short film in more than a dozen languages is helping families care for children with gastroenteritis at home. Gastroenteritis is a common cause of visits to paediatric accident and emergency (A&E). In most cases, however, the condition is not serious and can be managed at home. To enable consultants to concentrate on serious cases, children with gastroenteritis are now rapidly assessed by nurses in Barts Health’s paediatric A&E department. In the most straightforward cases, families are given advice on how to care for their child at home. To support this new approach, Dr Matthew Clark and Dr Alexandra Pledge have worked with Mile End Films to develop a short film on care, highlighting the ‘red flag’ warning signs that indicate a return to A&E is warranted. The film, available in 14 different languages, is shown to parents in the hospital and can be viewed on Barts Health’s YouTube channel. As well as freeing up paediatric specialists, the new approach is reducing waiting times for patients. In addition, experience to date suggests it is also encouraging parents to care for children at home when they next experience gastroenteritis. Production of the multilingual patient information videos was funded by a £7,581 grant from Barts Charity.

Through a Glass, clearly

A pioneer in the use of Google Glass technology in medical education is now experimenting with the wonders of virtual reality.

In May 2014, Mr Shafi Ahmed captured newspaper headlines around the world when he used Google Glass to live-stream a surgical procedure to some 13,000 people in 115 countries. As well as a high-definition camera, the Google Glass headset has an integrated screen, enabling Mr Ahmed to receive and respond to questions during procedures. With funding from Barts Charity, Mr Ahmed has been building on this pioneering first, incorporating Google Glass into undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, and extending the range of applications from surgery to other areas, such as development of patient interaction skills. He has also begun exploring the potential of other technologies to enhance the learning experience, such as interactive 3D videos

and virtual reality. Using special headsets, students will have a truly immersive experience of surgery – even in real time, if the surgeon is using Google Glass. Streamed procedures can be accessed at http://virtualmedics. org and the first-ever 3D surgical video was posted on YouTube in March 2015 (https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=VAUbacNs4MQ). Mr Ahmed is now using the experience gained in his Charity-funded project to develop longer-term plans, so use of such innovative technologies can be expanded nationally and internationally. Mr Ahmed’s use of Google Glass and virtual reality to enhance medical

teaching and training has been

supported by a £20,000 grant from Barts Charity.

Trauma: Prevention, treatment and rehabilitation The Barts Centre for Trauma Sciences is achieving impact nationally and internationally. In 2012, Barts Charity provided substantial funding to establish the Barts Centre for Trauma Sciences, led by Professor Karim Brohi. Following another highly successful year, in 2014 Barts Charity approved a third year’s funding of £1m, bringing its total grant funding in the Centre to £3m. The Centre provides a platform enabling clinicians and researchers to work together on key themes in trauma, particularly bleeding, organ failure and brain injury. Its clinical trials include highly promising studies of fibrinogen supplements to reduce bleeding – a unique study that also recruited military patients from Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The platform has also enabled the Centre to secure other major funding, including €5.9m from the European Union for an international study on bleeding and its prevention, £760,000 from the Wellcome Trust for novel studies of an antimalarial drug

8

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

that may be able to protect against organ failure, and £400,000 industry funding to test a lipid emulsion in neurotrauma. More fundamental studies have begun to examine the body’s response to trauma. The Centre is able to obtain samples early after trauma, supporting studies that may shed light on why certain patients are particularly vulnerable to impaired clotting responses, organ failure, or infection during recovery. The Centre has also carried out a landmark evaluation of the newly reorganised London-wide trauma services, showing that the changes introduced after the 2007 National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcomes and Death have improved quality of care and reduced mortality. These findings are likely to have a significant influence on the development of UK trauma services.

In addition, the Centre has been tackling prevention and awareness, drawing attention to the dangers of head injury during rugby matches. Preventive projects have focused on areas such as cycling-related injuries and knife crime. A further strand of work is addressing the neglected area of long-term support. The Centre has developed a website, AfterTrauma, which provides guidance and support to trauma survivors and their families, and enables them to form their own support networks. The year also saw the Centre strengthen its international networking. It hosted a landmark international meeting which attracted leading figures in trauma care and research from around the world. The meeting identified key issues facing the trauma field and priorities that could be addressed through international collaboration. www.bartscharity.org.uk

Echoes of the heart

Thanks to a new portable echocardiography machine, critical care specialists can keep a closer eye on heart function in seriously ill patients. Echocardiography provides valuable information on the structure and function of the heart. Maintaining heart function is essential in critical care and monitoring heart function can provide important pointers to guide treatment. Traditionally, echocardiography is the territory of specialist cardiologists but, explains critical care consultant Dr Parjam Zolfaghari, critical care units are increasingly integrating it into their routine practice. With less need for a cardiologist to be present, devices can be used more flexibly. Although the critical care unit at Barts Health had a portable echocardiography machine, it was becoming outdated. The new model, funded through a £20,000 grant from Barts Charity, provides greatly improved

image quality, is easier to use, and is the model used in standard training modules. Unlike its predecessor, it is also compatible with the hospital’s digital image sharing system, so results can be sent rapidly to cardiologists when more specialist advice is required. Dr Zolfaghari and cardiologist colleagues have developed a training programme for critical care unit consultants, who ultimately achieve certification from the Intensive Care Society. With staff now trained, the new machine is in daily use to assess new patients and monitor those recovering in the unit. The portable echocardiography machine was funded by a £20,000 grant from Barts Charity.

Predicting pneumonia

New research may help to identify which critically ill patients are at greatest risk of pneumonia. Great strides have been made in keeping severely injured patients alive. However, even when stabilised, trauma patients face many challenges – including an increased risk of infections such as pneumonia, which affects up to 40% of patients requiring critical care support. With £368,000 funding from Barts Charity, critical care consultant Dr Michael O’Dwyer is aiming to discover why some patients are particularly vulnerable to infection. Trauma patients typically succumb to relatively innocuous bacteria that most of us deal with easily, suggesting that their immune system function is impaired. Using samples collected from patients soon after injury, Dr O’Dwyer is analysing the activity of genes linked to immune system function immediately after trauma, focusing on characteristic DNA modifications that control whether genes are switched on or off. By following patients during recovery, he hopes to identify modifications that are associated with increased susceptibility to infection. These ‘signatures’ could then provide a way to identify patients at particular risk of pneumonia or other infections, who could be given immune-boosting medication or other support to help them fight off infections.

Dr O’Dwyer’s project has been

funded by a £368,029 grant from Barts Charity.

Unmasking hidden viral infections

By piggybacking blood testing in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments, ‘Going Viral’ has identified ‘hidden’ HIV and hepatitis virus infections. Infections with HIV or hepatitis B or C viruses are potentially life-threatening but they are now treatable, especially if caught early. Unfortunately, many people with the viruses are unaware they are infected. As well as the threat to their own health, they can also unwittingly pass a virus on to others. Population-wide screening is impractical, so identifying these hidden infections is challenging. In ‘Going Viral’, consultant Dr Chloe Orkin adopted a novel approach, teaming up with ten A&E departments across the UK, including five in London, to offer diagnostic tests to any patient having a blood sample taken. Dr Orkin piloted this approach with great success in the ‘Test me East’ project, funded by Barts Charity, which focused just on HIV. ‘Going Viral’ extended testing to include hepatitis B and C viruses. During one week in October 2014, 2,148 tests were performed, identifying 71 people with HIV and hepatitis C infections – all potentially life-changing discoveries. The project generated exceptional levels of publicity, with active support from public figures such as actor Richard Wilson and DJ Tim Westwood (and endorsement by numerous professional bodies). As well as encouraging people to participate, such visible shows of support may help to ‘normalise’ testing for the viruses.

Following up these successful projects, Dr Orkin has been working on a longer-term initiative with local commissioners and antiviral drug manufacturers, exploring the possibility of offering testing routinely. The project has had other important implications, providing data on hepatitis virus infection rates, which appear to be considerably higher than previously thought. The work has also attracted global interest from groups considering similar projects with their local populations. In further recognition of her endeavours, Dr Orkin featured in the 2014 Rainbow List, produced by the Independent to recognise those making major contributions to the lives of lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender people. ‘Going Viral’ was funded by an £85,000 grant from

Barts Charity.

Now that I have the knowledge and information about HIV and people who suffer from it, I feel like it’s my duty to spread the word and encourage people in the Muslim community to wake up to the realities of our society. And to encourage more Muslims to get tested and, if HIV positive, get treated for the disease.” Muslim Faith Leader

Grants It was an excellent course. Before the course my knowledge of HIV was limited but I left deeply knowledgeable. I left aware that HIV can be managed and the need for support and treatment for those diagnosed with it. Support and treatment can prolong the life of a person. I gained so much awareness that will be of benefit to my community.” Christian Faith Leader

Having faith

Work with faith leaders across London is creating a more supportive environment for people with HIV. More than half of all HIV diagnoses in London are in black and minority ethnic populations and late diagnosis is alarmingly common. To reach such groups, the ‘Testing Faith’ project has used funding from Barts Charity to engage with Christian and Muslim faith leaders to encourage them to make HIV prevention and care a priority in their communities. The work is being led by Naz Project London, a charity specialising in the sexual health of black and minority ethnic communities. Two-day workshops have been run for faith leaders, to raise awareness of HIV and issues such as the harm associated with late diagnosis or use of ineffective alternative therapies. An important role is played by advocates – people from within religious communities who have HIV and can share their experiences and bring the subject to life. More than 100 faith leaders participated in the Testing Faith training course, representing both Muslim and Christian communities. Faith congregations ran workshops and HIV events, or organised referrals to local genitourinary medicine clinics, and 735 individuals undertook an HIV test – leading to the identification of ten new cases who could be offered the appropriate care and treatment. More generally, the project is encouraging churches and religious leaders to play a more active role in protecting the sexual health of their communities.

‘Testing Faith’ was supported by a £20,000 grant from Barts Charity.

Getting the message to the masses

Rather than just relying on people coming to their clinics, the Barts Health sexual health team is heading out into the community, in a specially converted bus. Tower Hamlets has some of the country’s highest rates of sexually transmitted infections. Although existing sexual health clinics are well-used, there is clearly high demand and many people are not giving their sexual and reproductive health the attention it deserves. In an attempt to reach more people, in 2014 the Barts Health sexual health team used funding from Barts Charity to hire and kit out a trailer, setting up shop at events such as music festivals, local markets and community fairs. The aim was to raise awareness, offer testing services and provide space for confidential conversations. Following this successful venture, the team obtained further funding to purchase a converted bus that, as well as attending one-off events, also makes regular visits to communities across East London. It now addresses broader issues linked to sexual health, including drug and alcohol use and domestic violence, focusing on the topics most relevant to each local population. ‘Barts Health On the Move’ has been funded by a £88,400 grant from Barts Charity.

ACP: A neglected childhood tumour

Children whose lives are overshadowed by a rare endocrine tumour could benefit from the joint efforts of laboratory scientists, clinicians and cancer specialists. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs) are tumours that arise from the pituitary gland and can invade neighbouring structures such as the brain and the optic and cranial nerves. Although rare, they have a devastating impact – usually diagnosed in childhood, they disrupt many aspects of hormone function, causing multiple clinical problems and having a life-long impact on patients’ quality of life. Patients are typically treated with surgery and radiotherapy, but tumours often regrow. Tumours vary significantly in their aggressiveness, and a better understanding of how tumours are likely to develop could enable clinicians to provide more tailored care to individual patients.

Working with a rodent model of ACP, Dr Carles Gaston-Massuet has identified a host of genes whose activity is disrupted in ACPs. Notably, changes in several of these genes are associated with aggressive tumour growth and poor prognosis. Furthermore, small-scale studies suggest that the same may be true in human ACP cases. Measuring changes in the activity of these genes could thus be a way to predict the future behaviour of these tumours. With funding from Barts Charity, laboratory scientist Dr Gaston-Massuet, consultant paediatric endocrinologist Dr Evelien Gevers, and evolution and cancer specialist Dr Trevor Graham have established a collaborative network within Barts and The London

School of Medicine and Dentistry and internationally, to pool resources and coordinate research on ACP. Dr Gaston-Massuet and his colleagues have begun testing the effect of drugs that appear to influence prognosis. The team is also hunting for new mutations associated with ACP – in many cases, tumour-causing mutations have yet to be identified. These genetic studies could identify targets for the development of new chemotherapies for these devastating and neglected childhood tumours. Dr Gaston-Massuet’s research is being funded by a £211,155 grant from Barts Charity.

A helping hand As well as clinical care, people with an inherited cancer syndrome may also benefit from psychological support. People with von Hippel–Lindau disease develop a wide range of tumours, particularly affecting the kidney, retina, adrenal glands and nervous system. The offspring of patients can undergo testing to see if they have inherited the faulty gene causing the condition. If they have, they are in the agonising situation of knowing they will develop a serious tumour at some point, but not when or where. Professor William Drake and other Barts Health specialists meet regularly with people carrying the faulty gene, who are screened annually for emerging signs of disease. While patients are highly positive about their clinical treatment, Professor Drake’s team would like to add psychological support to the care they offer. People respond very differently to a positive genetic test: while some adjust rapidly, others find it difficult to deal with; some families pull together, others are torn apart. Unfortunately, very little is known about the psychological impact of diagnosis, or what support would be beneficial. As a first step to filling this gap, Professor Drake and clinical psychologist Dr Caroline Dancyger (above left) have begun pilot studies systematically exploring the psychological distress associated with a positive result and subsequent screening tests. This information will feed into a larger application to other funders, to support the development of a psychological profiling tool to identify those most in need of support and to shape possible therapeutic strategies. Professor Drake’s pilot project was funded by a £9,562 grant from Barts Charity.

Controlling high blood pressure

A suite of innovative surgical interventions may offer hope to patients whose blood pressure remains stubbornly high. High blood pressure is common and raises the risk of a host of cardiovascular conditions, including stroke and heart attacks. For many patients, lifestyle modifications or drugs bring their blood pressure down to normal levels, but for some, standard treatments have little impact. Consultant Dr Melvin Lobo, whose research has received significant funding from Barts Charity, is exploring a range of approaches that may help this high-risk, difficult-to-treat group, and shedding new light on the complex control of blood pressure. Funding from Barts Charity has enabled Dr Lobo to establish an innovative laboratory set up to explore the role of the nervous system in control of blood pressure. The nervous system is a key component of a complex network of signalling systems that Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

connect multiple organs and tissues, and which work together to monitor and regulate blood pressure. Of particular note are signals sent from the kidney to the brain. Crucially, blocking these signals – for example by eliminating the kidney tissue that generates them – may lower blood pressure. Funding from Barts Charity has enabled Dr Lobo to lead an international trial assessing this strategy – known as renal denervation – in a range of patients with difficult-totreat hypertension. The trial is based on the use of catheters inserted through the groin. However, technologies are advancing rapidly and Dr Lobo is also evaluating use of targeted high-energy ultrasound as an alternative, non-invasive approach. His extensive experience with

renal denervation has enabled him to play a lead role in developing national guidelines on use of the technique. In 2014, Dr Lobo also led a groundbreaking trial demonstrating highly positive results with a new device that creates a ‘bridge’ between an artery and vein in the upper thigh. He is currently pursuing more studies of this approach, alongside the work on renal denervation and studies on healthy individuals, to shed light on underlying physiological mechanisms controlling blood pressure. The ultimate goal, he suggests, is to develop a range of effective therapies, so patients receive the treatment most suited to their particular condition.

Dr Lobo’s research is funded through a £400,000 grant from Barts Charity.

Fundraising

Caring for infants in the Children’s Hospital.

Ambassadors, including our new ‘Exceptional Ambassadors’, are providing a huge boost to our fundraising efforts. In September 2014, we celebrated the first anniversary of our Ambassador programme, with a dinner event at the House of Lords hosted by Lord Clement-Jones. Our growing network of Ambassadors – now numbering more than 40 – are making a major contribution to our fundraising, either by raising funds themselves or by encouraging others to become involved in our work. Those who have made outstanding contributions will receive a new accolade –‘Exceptional Ambassador’. One person truly deserving of this recognition is Tom Baker who, having been treated successfully for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, has been unstinting in his efforts to raise money for our good causes. We are planning to erect an Ambassadors’

14

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

plaque in the atrium of the newly redeveloped King George V building at Barts Hospital which will certainly feature Tom’s name prominently. We are also fortunate that several past donors are continuing to support our work. The London Freemasons have a long tradition of supporting Barts Charity, recently raising funds to support the purchase of PlasmaJet equipment to treat ovarian cancer (see right), while the Bank of Montreal has been a long-term supporter of Barts Health’s Children’s Hospital (see right). We are also extremely grateful to Canary Wharf Contractors, whose latest donations to the Barts Kids Bones Appeal this year brought their total contributions to more than £100,000. As well as the ongoing Barts Kids

Bones Appeal and Barts Charity Safe Cycling Appeal, we have also been preparing for the launch in 2015 of a major new fundraising appeal in support of the Barts Heart Centre. Thanks to our generous and committed supporters, we have worked across a broad range of exciting projects. These include fundraising to facilitate the use of life-saving and innovative techniques to stop bleeding in seriously injured patients, community outreach programmes targeting disadvantaged youths at risk of becoming involved in gang crime, our yearly campaign to ensure all young patients across Barts Health receive a gift at Christmas time, and music therapy for premature babies and children with eye cancer.

Banking on success With the help of the Bank of Montreal, Barts Health’s Children’s Hospital is being transformed into a welcoming and uplifting environment. The Children’s Hospital is part of the stunning new Royal London Hospital development in Whitechapel. Initially opened as plain clinical areas, two wards have already been transformed into warm and welcoming spaces, thanks to donations from the Bank of Montreal. The vibrant and friendlier environment has been greatly appreciated by both patients and care staff. Vital Arts, Barts Health’s arts organisation, worked with a range of award-winning artists and designers to develop imaginative wall decorations, as well as engaging hospital furniture and even privacy curtains. The Bank and its staff are maintaining their commitment to Barts Health children’s services, with a Christmas fundraising appeal by employees helping to pay for improved play facilities in the paediatric A&E department at the Royal London Hospital, which sees more than 35,000 children every year. Decoration of the Children’s Hospital has been made possible by £64,324 donations from the Bank of Montreal.

Fundraising

Zapping cancer

Generous fundraising by London’s Freemasons has ensured that women with ovarian cancer are benefiting from the latest ‘PlasmaJet’ technology.

Hard to diagnose, ovarian cancer has often spread from its initial location by the time it is identified. Surgical treatment is known to be most effective when all cancerous tissue is removed. However, by the time it is detected, the cancer may well have spread through the abdomen, growing around blood vessels or forming small nodules on the bowel, diaphragm or other tissues – all of which present a considerable surgical challenge. A highly sophisticated surgical ‘blowtorch’, the PlasmaJet uses a blast of ionised argon gas to vaporise cancerous tissue with remarkable precision. As well as enabling surgeons to remove cancerous tissue from tricky locations, use of the PlasmaJet also means that

more drastic measures, such as removal of part of the bowel, can be avoided. Having had a PlasmaJet machine on loan, Ms Elly Brockbank and her surgical colleagues carried out pilot studies on 16 women, in several cases achieving results that would not have been possible with conventional techniques. Thanks to generous donors to Barts Charity, the machine has now been bought outright, along with a set of disposable handpieces. Funding from Barts Charity was made possible by donations from London Freemasons (£77,000 for the Plasmajet console) and Mount Zion Lodge (£20,624 for handpieces).

Governance

Independence On 31 July 2014, Barts Charity became the first NHS charity to gain its independence from the Department of Health. Under approvals granted by both the Department of Health and the Charity Commission, Barts Charity is no longer subject to the NHS Act 2006, the provisions of which impose constitutional and governance restrictions upon NHS charities, and which give the Secretary of State for Health powers to appoint and remove trustees, and to transfer assets. As a result of independence, Barts Charity was able to amend its constitution to a more conventional model, so that it is now a company limited by guarantee (registration number 7168381) and a registered charity in England and Wales (registration number 212563). It is governed by Articles of Association most recently updated on 15 December 2014.

Governance Charitable purposes

Trusteeship

Stakeholders

Barts Charity’s charitable purposes were unchanged by the move to independence and relate to hospital services (including research), or to any other part of the health service associated with any hospital as the Trustees think fit. Barts Charity also includes five Special Purpose Charities, which are registered with the Charity Commission but accounted for as restricted funds in the financial statements of Barts Charity under a Charity Commission uniting direction. Their purposes are set out in their respective governing documents and are largely connected with the provision of health services and medical research. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing Barts Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant-making policy for the year.

Barts Charity acts through its Directors (who are known as Trustees). At the end of the reporting year, there were 12 such Trustees. Since then, one Trustee has retired, two new Trustees have been appointed, and one has been appointed ex officio (see page 18).

Barts Charity works closely with, and provides the majority of its grants to, Barts Health NHS Trust, which provides services to the communities served by St Bartholomew’s Hospital, The Royal London Hospital, Whipps Cross University Hospital, Mile End Hospital and Newham University Hospital. It also awards grants to Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary, University of London and to the School of Community and Health Sciences at City University London. Although the Trustees are careful to consult with representatives of these organisations through their committee meetings and other less formal contacts, they retain their independence to act in the best interests of Barts Charity and the communities it serves.

Recruitment and induction Power to appoint new Trustees lies with the existing Trustees, in accordance with the provisions of Barts Charity’s Articles of Association. All Trustees are appointed for a fixed term of not more than three years (renewable to a maximum of nine years in total). New Trustees have an induction programme, during which they are familiarised with key constitutional and operating documents, meet senior Trustees, and tour the hospitals. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration is paid. Details of Trustee expenses and related transactions are disclosed in notes 15.1–4 to the accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Director of Legal and Governance and, in accordance with Barts Charity’s policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

Wider networks Barts Charity is one of over 400 NHS-linked charities in England, and is an active member of the Association of NHS Charities. As a member, Barts Charity has the opportunity to discuss matters of common concern, exchange information and experiences, and participate in conferences and seminars that offer support and education for its staff and Trustees. The Chief Executive is a member of the Council of the Association.

Finance review and strategic report Prudent financial and investment management has seen Barts Charity continue to deliver excellent results. This strong performance has provided a sound basis upon which to grow the grant-giving programme still further. Total gross asset base: £374.9m (+£45.1m) Net assets: £354.1m (+£46.4m) Total grant programme: £11.8m (+£1.8m)

Financial review

Spending review

Barts Charity’s proactive approach to managing its investment portfolio and annual operating activities delivered 15.1% growth in net assets for the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 (Figure 1). Annual growth has averaged 11% over the past five years, increasing net assets by 55%. Income has also been healthy, with the investment portfolio generating £10.6m for the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 (£9.1m in FY2013/14; Figure 2). Fundraising income for the 12-month period was £2.6m. Since Barts Charity uses income generated from its endowment to cover operating costs, it is in the unusual position of being able to guarantee its supporters that 100% of their contributions will be committed to charitable activities. It is this financial strength that supports the Trustees’ decision to solicit higher-value grant applications.

Total expenditure for the 12-month period was £14.37m (Figure 3; FY2013/14: £12.76m) owing to a significant increase in charitable activities. Expenditure for charitable activities relates to annual grant expenditure, which has ranged from £7.2m in FY2009/10 to £11.8m in the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 (Figure 4). With the significant recent growth in the investment portfolio, Barts Charity has been able to plan for annual grant-making expenditure of £10–12m, while maintaining provision for large one-off grant requests that would have a significant impact on healthcare delivered by Barts Health NHS Trust (such as the Barts Diabetic Kidney Centre, see page 6). The total cost of generating funds – expenditure on fundraising activities and the management of the investment portfolio – was £2.27m in the 12-month period to 31 March 2015, a reduction of £0.16m compared to FY2013/14. Of this figure, £1.55m relates to management of investments. Costs relating to financial investments amount to less than 1% of asset value (exclusive of private equity and private credit). The annual spend for property-related investments for the 12-month period to 31 March 2015, £0.20m against an average asset value of £89.4m, represents 0.2% of asset value, down from 0.6% in FY2013/14. This decline is due to rigorous management of property assets, which are now chiefly multi-let commercial properties in London and the South-East. Annual governance costs in the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 amounted to £0.30m or 2.1% of total resources expended, a decline from 2.2% in FY2013/14.

Figures as at 31 March 2015. Owing to the constitutional changes undertaken by Barts Charity to achieve independence from the Department of Health, its audited accounts (pages 25–41) cover only the 8-month period from 31 July 2014 to 31 March 2015. Supplementary financial statements (pages 42–55) have been prepared to summarise activities for the 12-month period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015. As such, they consolidate the 4-month activity of Barts Charity prior to independence, when it was known as Barts and The London Charity Trustee, with the 8-month activity of Barts Charity from 31 July 2014. The figures quoted in this section relate to the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 unless stated otherwise.

Barts Charity conducts an annual review of its Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives, which sets out its financial and investment objectives. Endowment and unrestricted funds are intended to last into perpetuity and are managed accordingly. Hence the investment policy provides for long-term stability, preservation of purchasing power and liquidity sufficient for the funding of annual grant-making and other operating activities. It also sets out guidelines for the portfolio’s risk profile, strategic asset allocation and investment restrictions. These restrictions prevent Barts Charity from direct investment in tobacco-related securities and from engaging in ‘soft commission’ arrangements. The investment portfolio is defined by a relatively simple structure with below-average risk and complexity (Table 1). Movements in the investment portfolio in the 12-month period to 31 March 2015 continued the realignment begun in FY2007/08 to create a high-quality portfolio that is diversified, robust and generates a reliable source of income and market appreciation to support the grant programme. The target allocation of 30% for property and 70% for financial investments was reached during the reporting year. Financial investments are principally held in 14 investment funds, allowing for diversification by asset type, risk profile, geographical exposure and manager style (active and passive). There are additional holdings in both private equity (with a focus on secondaries) and private credit, which account for only 4.18% and 1.58%, respectively, of the total investment portfolio.

Finance

Investment review cont. Measured against standard benchmarks, the investment portfolio is showing healthy performance during uncertain economic times and the transitioning of the portfolio (Table 2). The target for the portfolio is to earn an average real return of 4.5% over a rolling three-year period. This has been achieved since the inception of the current portfolio in November 2005. Despite low levels of risk, long-term investment returns have exceeded market benchmarks and the performance of peers. Several factors have contributed to this success: a realignment of direct property holdings to focus on lower-risk ‘core’ investments; an emphasis on investment in straightforward cash-yielding strategies; and remaining fully invested in order to minimise the low yield on cash deposits. There has also been a tactical shift from sovereign bonds to public credit in response to a perceived overvaluation of the former. Barts Charity’s investment performance is monitored quarterly by the Investment Committee with the assistance of Cambridge Associates Ltd, which provides advice and monitoring services for the financial portfolio. Gryphon Property Partners provides similar support for the property portfolio. In addition, Workman provides tactical advice and management services for the property portfolio.

Future plans

Reserves and risks

Barts Charity has plans to grow its grant-giving programme, further develop its fundraising presence, and integrate its business systems to enhance operational efficiency. Priorities include:

Barts Charity’s reserves, spending and long-term investment policies are updated annually and are intended to deliver the following objectives:

A continued focus on major project funding delivering patient benefits over the lifetime of a grant, over and above the twice-yearly grant rounds; Launching a cardiac appeal to support the Barts Heart Centre; Improving Barts Charity’s visibility and raising awareness in Barts Health hospitals through increased signage and community-based fundraising activities; Implementing new business systems and IT infrastructure to integrate grant-giving, fundraising and financial operations.

Reserves policy

Provide for long-term stability and liquidity sufficient for the funding of the annual grant-making and other operating activities, and occasionally exceptional grants beyond the normal annual level when appropriate circumstances arise; Maintain the ‘real’ purchasing power of the reserves such that Barts Charity can exist in perpetuity; Confirm the annual minimum level to which Barts Charity could expect reserves to fall temporarily in the worst case as a result of exceptional grants and/or market movements; and Agree actions to rebuild the levels of reserves if the minimum is not sustained.

The management of risk

The Trustees regularly review the major risks to which Barts Charity is exposed. An operational risk register is reviewed and updated annually as part of the annual business planning process, while a strategic risk register is reviewed by the Trustees at all Board and Committee meetings. Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate risks, and these are also reviewed regularly. The major risks include the ability to sustain the current level of income, a fall in investment values and returns, and unforeseen changes in the operation of the NHS. These risks are mitigated by careful portfolio construction, active management and review of investments, and regular liaison with Barts Health NHS Trust, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the School of Community and Health Sciences at City University London.

Financial statements and notes to the accounts

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Under company 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 charitable company and of the excess of expenditure over income 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent; State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue its activities. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. The Trustees have accepted responsibility to prepare the non-statutory accounts for the year ending 31 March 2015 on the basis set out in the background note to the non-statutory accounts. In preparing the non-statutory accounts, the Trustees have: Selected accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the statutory financial statements of Barts Charity for the period ended 31 March 2015 and then applied them consistently; Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and Prepared the non-statutory accounts on the going concern basis as they believe that the entity will continue in business. Signed on behalf of the Trustees of Barts Charity.

Notes to the accounts 1 Accounting policies 1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments and heritage assets, which are included at period-end market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice by Charities (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005, applicable UK Accounting Standards, the Charities Act 2011, and the Audit Commission Act 1998.

2014. The differences in assets, liabilities, incoming resources and expenditure during this one-day period were not material. By virtue of a Charity Commission Order dated 31 July 2014, Barts Charity was appointed as trustee of the permanent endowment assets remaining in Barts and The London Charity and the four Special Purpose Charities related thereto. By a Charity Commission uniting direction dated 31 July 2014, Barts Charity is permitted to account for these trustee assets within its accounts.

The 220(3) and 220(5) and paragraph Charity Commission approved this 10(1) of Schedule 4 of the National assignment in an Order dated 28 July Health Service Act 2006 (see c(i) 2014.

research), or to any other part of the health service associated with any hospital, as the person holding the property thinks fit. (ii) Designated The Trustees have chosen to earmark these funds for specific areas within the general charitable purposes (see note 10.3). 1.4 Incoming resources Donations and gifts are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period received, while pecuniary and residuary legacy income is recognised when receivable. Investment income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual basis. 1.5 Resources expended All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. Direct costs of generating funds (including fundraising), charitable activities and support and governance costs are charged to the relevant category or activity according to the area to which the expenditure relates. Support costs incurred that relate to more than one cost category are apportioned based on estimates of time spent on activity in each area. 1.6 Fixed assets a. Tangible and intangible assets Tangible and intangible assets are included in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Intangible assets include software and related development costs. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. b. Heritage assets Heritage assets are capitalised and include art collections, historic archives, sculptures, ceramics, surgical instruments, uniforms, teaching materials and other items. They are reported on

the balance sheet at their insured values, which are based on replacement values in the retail market or, where appropriate, in the second-hand retail market with items of a similar nature, age, condition and quality. They are not depreciated but are revalued every five years with the last valuation completed by Gurr Johns, auctioneers and valuers, in March 2014. Any surplus or deficit on revaluation is credited or debited to the Statement of Financial Activities. Assets are reviewed regularly for significant damage and appropriate remedial works are carried out wherever possible to preserve the assets or prevent further deterioration. See note 6 for further details. c. Investments Quoted investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Asset purchases and sales are recognised at date of trade. Unquoted pooled financial investments are stated at fair value, the basis of fair value being the market value of the underlying investments held. These valuations are provided by the fund managers and are subject either to independent valuation or annual audit. Private equity investments are held through funds managed by private equity groups. As there is no identifiable market price for private equity funds, these funds are included at the most recent valuations from the private equity groups and adjusted for cash flows if the valuation is not available at the balance sheet date. The annual market valuation of Barts Charity’s investment properties has been carried out in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ ‘Valuation Standards’ (January 2015). The valuations were carried out by Gerald Eve LLP, Chartered

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

Surveyors, who have been instructed as external valuer to value Barts Charity’s freehold and long leasehold interests at 31 March 2015. They have reported their opinion of the aggregate of the values of Barts Charity’s interest in the individual buildings. 1.7 Realised and unrealised gains and losses Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investment assets are included in ‘gains and losses on investment assets’ within the Statement of Financial Activities. 1.8 Overdraft facility An overdraft facility permitted under charity law and supported by Bart’s Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association was renewed in April 2015. It is used for short-term cash flow requirements while also allowing Barts Charity to be fully invested.

of participating in the Scheme is taken as equal to the contributions payable to the Scheme. Applicable rates for employee contributions for the NHS Pension Scheme ranged from 9.3% to 13.5% during the 8-month period to 31 March 2015, while employer contributions were 14%. Employees employed after 1 April 2011 can choose to belong to a Defined Contribution Scheme, which is a Group Personal Pension Scheme. For the 8-month period to 31 March 2015, the rates of employer contribution for the Defined Contribution Scheme were 9% for directors and 7% for other staff. Employee contributions are voluntary.

1.9 Pensions contributions The cost of employer contributions to the NHS Pension Scheme and the Defined Contribution Scheme is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities. Certain past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the NHS Pensions Scheme. Details of benefits payable under these provisions can be found on the NHS Pensions website (www.pensions.nhsbsa. nhs.uk). The Scheme is an unfunded, defined benefit scheme, preparing its own statements, that covers NHS employers, general practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State, in England and Wales. The Scheme is not designed to be run in a way that would enable NHS bodies to identify their share of underlying Scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, the Scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contributions scheme: the cost to an NHS body

Trustees’ Annual Report 2014/15

Barts Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, regulated solely by the Charity Commission. Before 31 July 2014, it was known as Barts and The London Charity Trustee and was regulated by both the Charity Commission and the Secretary of State for Health, under the powers set out in the NHS Act 2006. Under an appointment by the NHS Trust Development Authority effective 1 April 2013, it acted as the trustee of the unincorporated charity, Barts and The London Charity. By a Deed of Assignment effective midnight 30 July 2014, Barts and The London Charity Trustee transferred all of the assets which it held in its capacity as trustee (save as set out below) to itself as absolute owner. The Charity Commission approved this assignment in an Order dated 28 July 2014. By a Statutory Instrument dated 31 July 2014 (2014 No. 1905), Barts and The London Charity Trustee ceased to be regulated by the Secretary of State for Health under the provisions of the NHS Act 2006. Barts and The London Charity Trustee also changed its name to Barts Charity with effect from the same date. By virtue of a Charity Commission Order dated 31 July 2014, Barts Charity was appointed as trustee of the permanent endowment assets remaining in Barts and The London Charity and the four Special Purpose Charities related thereto. By a Charity Commission uniting direction dated 31 July 2014, Barts Charity is permitted to account for these trustee assets within its accounts.

Basis of preparation The supplementary financial statements have been prepared to summarise the detail of Barts Charity’s activities for the 12-month period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015. As such, they consolidate the 4-month activity of Barts and The London Charity Trustee with the 8-month activity of Barts Charity. The comparatives are those of the 12-month period to 31 March 2014 for Barts and The London Charity Trustee. The accounting convention applied is consistent to that applied to the statutory financial statements in that they have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments and heritage assets, which are included at year-end market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice by Charities (SORP 2005), where deemed appropriate.

Fleur Nieboer For and on behalf of KPMG LLP, Statutory Auditor 15 Canada Square London E14 5GL 16 July 2015

Scope of the audit of the non-statutory accounts A description of the scope of an audit of accounts is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc. org.uk/auditscopeukprivate.
