The Annual Report of the Trustees of the League of Friends of Tewkesbury Hospital. 

## Introduction 

2020 saw unprecedented times for the whole of the NHS. Community hospitals came under pressure to support the acute care system, which of course was severely threatened by the worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic. The aim of the friends in 2020 was simply to ensure that we supported colleagues who were severely under pressure and that the hard work of these good people was complimented by the resources that the Friends could provide. 

## Overview 

From a financial perspective, the Friends of Tewkesbury hospital were incredibly fortunate to receive 2 large bequests left in wills. This added greatly to our income for the year and to our overall capital reserves. With the Pandemic raging, there was little business as normal at the hospital and many of the outpatient services were severely curtailed or closed. The minor injuries department closed and the theatre was used as overflow for Covid 19 cases for much of the year.  The staff at the hospital were simply amazing and coped with all the demands placed on them during a very trying year. The Friends have been pleased to support them financially with simple gifts and donations as mentioned below. 

The committee was sad to lose three trustees this year, due to personal reasons and the impact of the pandemic on our ability to meet and function was severely curtailed. 

## Activities 

Our activities this year were limited to online meetings only. We performed no fund raising activities until the vaccination program started when donation tins were placed to see if we could call upon the continued goodwill of the residents of Tewkesbury to donate as they sought to get vaccinated which started at the very end of 2020 and led into 2021. 

## Expenditure 

Our donations this year were in support of the acupuncture clinic, which continues to be a success in the community when it is running (restricted because of Covid19) and we also gave staff extra support in the shape of meals being brought into the hospital, hand cremes to help with the constant handwashing and soreness associated with Covid 19. We also supplied I-Pads to each room in the hospital to help with isolation as no-one was able to visit 



patients for some months. This valuable resource was a lifeline for many patients. The NHS locally produced a video showing just how valuable to patients and staff this was. 

## Conclusion 

The year has been one of unprecedented challenge. We have bene proud to support the local hospital and Doctors in the issues they have had to face and to safeguard funds for future use.
