As you can see we have had a change of vice-chair as Mrs Lynn
Pike is now in a care home.
As you know things have picked up slowly over Covid, the tea bar
was closed, the hospital had been closed to both clinics and
visitors.
Our President Lord Barry Jones was impedimental in getting the
tea bar re-opened after he wrote to the Chair of B.C.U.H.B.
and this has proved very welcome both by members of staff,
relatives and patients.
We continue to have an on going recruitment drive as a few of our
members have not returned after Covid.

Our aims and objectives remain the same for the League of
Friends, that is to raise money for the Deeside Community
Hospital and the community.
During the last year we received in.
Income:_ £30,098
Expenditure:_ £19,975.
We are having more requests from the hospital for equipment and
we are spending the funds.
When the hospital is rLmning at it's maximum they are holding up
to 42 clinics a week, saving a lot of patients travelling.
Branwen ward has now become a regional Stroke unit 18 patients
with all the necessary depts to go with it. i.e. physio, occupational
therapy, speech therapy, neurologist etc.
So we have one rehabilitation ward that caters for 44 patients.
We have one hairdresser who works 3.5days a week, this service
is invaluable and the patients look forward to their wash and set.
We have give the care of the garden to the hospital as you had no
body to continue looking after it.
We do not have any funds held as a custodian trustee.
