Commissioners, Statement cf Recommended Practice ISORP FR51021 in respect of making this report.
Objertlves and activities
A major part of the organi5aticn's role is housing vulnerable people and this is achieved by property rental and a
portfolio of owned properties. Thi5 allows the organisation to house individuals with needs that meet the objectives of
the charity which include mental health, offending history and vulnerability. There is a direct link between the
hospitals and a public benefit by the organisation offering supported housing to these individuals.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance
Whilst the League struggled the previous year to meet its Business Plan target for properties. due to circumstances
beyond its control, it has now exceeded that target with the potential to surpa55 next year. The impact for strategic
direction for the League nearing a major threshold will be discussed at the Annual Trustee Away Day. The League
continues to achieve a surplus and has healthy reserves with investments making 3 reasonable return. The League
now owns 12 propertie5 and the benefits, costs and risks of further purchases are kept under review.
The footfall for the Friend5 Cafe at Cannock Hospital conlinued to increase and as predicted has now achieved a
surplus with the Cook Chill Meals well established. An income generation scheme of selling Greetings Cards has
recently been introduced although it is too early to measure impact.
The Coffee Bar footfall remains poor however it is felt that its location and proximity to the waiting rooms to
Outpatients waiting area, provides a social Eood benefit and enhances the relationship with the hospital. This decision
will be kept under review by the Board.
OF the four League Catering Outlets, the Friends Café remains the most successful although 5tafford Coffee Bar and St
George's Coffee Bar are now showing a break-even position. The change from deficit for St George's Coffee Bar from
last year is due to a change in regulation from disP05able to reusable vaping products with the League managing to
secure a profitable contract with 3 Supplier.
The Fundraising Working Group continued to be very active with their stall at Penkridge Market, bucket collections at
supermarkets and also supported the Cannock Rotary Club Father Xmas Collection at Tesco in Heath Hayes. Once
again, they have well exceeded their target of £7,000 successfully with a total of E9,246.70 target for nexr year
remains at £7,000.
The "Meet and Greet" role established for the volunteers at Cannock Hospital has been very successful demonstrated
by the numbers and high satisfaction levels recorded. An initial social media strategy has been developed and we are
seeing a substantial increase in the nurnber of posts submitted by the League with the response growing steadily.
Further development of the League image with other media outlets such as the local press is planned.
Two new trustee5 have jolned the League who have skills and experience identified as deficient in the Board
membership; Richard Crookshank in property purchase and lan Hinton in media and marketing respectively are
welcome additions to the Board.
Following the strategic actions agreed at the Trustee Away Day an organisational review of the League structure and
capacity was undertaken to meet current and future expansion. This included the Finance Department following the
decision of the League's Treasurer to stand down from the paid p05t of Accountant, although pleased to report that
she will continue as the Treasurer ta have strategic oversight of financial i5sue5. The new Head of Finance brings a
range of financial and business skills from his experience in commerce 2nd will be an 355et to the League.
We continue to use the Charity Commission'5 Governance Code Framework to audit the level of Complian￿ and
identify any gaps in our governance Structure and systems. Thi5 is reported to the 8oard through the Governance
Committee. The new Company Secretary conducted an independent review which she concluded the League
compliance a5 being good.
The Chief Executive and the Housing Team continue to develop the Supported Housing Service through Inreach and
Outreach Services. However, the development of those additional services, previously unique, have been a double-
edged sword with the League staff being actively recruited by the Trusts to deliver them inhouse.
The charity retains its preferred provider status with Local Authority Housing Departments, the main funding partners
and we remain committed to demonstrating a "value for money" philosophy whilst providing the highest level of
support to the residents. There is a potential risk however to this relationship from the changes due to occur with the
Governmenys plan5 for devolution.

Reserves Policy
It is a policy of the 8oard to hold unrestricted reserves equal to five months of operating expenditure. It is Judged that
the five months reserves is sufficient to maintain operations should a shortfall in income arise and to cover risks and
contingencies that would require an outlay of expenditure above a normal level. For reserves in excess of the reserves
policy, the Trustees will assess the optimal usa8e of these funds to enable the charity to maximise its benefits.
The charities total reserves of £1,817,55812024 - £1.604.6461 at the year-end were in exces5 of five months. worth of
operating expenditure.
Grant Making Policy
The charity gives donations to County Hospital, St George's Hospltal in Stafford and Cannock Chase Hospital. The
hospitals do inform the League of Friends what projects they would like the donation to go towards. If the donation is
£I.000 or less it is approved by the Chief Executive, however if the donation is over £1,000 then approval is needed
from the Chairman and Treasurer. All donation5 given must be for the benefit of patients.
The League of Friends had arranged a variety of fundraising events throughout the year to boost the organisation's
surplus. Thls was covered earlier in this report.
Investment Powers

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
STAFFORD AND CANNOCK LEAGUE OF HOSPITAL
FRIENDS
Our respon5ibilftles for the audit of the flnancial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effert thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material mi5Statement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 IUKI 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We desi8n pro¢edures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect materièl misstatements in respect of irregularities. including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. Including fraud is detailed below:
Inspection of board minutes both during and after the reporting period to identify any discussion5 of non-
compliance,.
Communication with management before. during and after the audit fieldwork to confirm instances of non-
compliance,.
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testlng journal entries and other
adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluation of the business rationale of significant transactions outside the
normal course of business,.
Reviewing financlal statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial 5t3tements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater
regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involve5 intentional concealment, for8ery,
collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibi1Sties for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of
the Independent Auditors.
