The League of Friends of Cranleigh Village Hospital

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The Charity's objective is to support the work of the Cranleigh Village Hospital and the Cranleigh Medical Practice by voluntary service and / or the provision of funds by way of grants for specific items, as set out in the Charity's Objects and Rules. The Trustees consider that these objectives comply with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Public benefit

The benefit of the charity's work are the provision of medical equipment and amenities available to all those receiving nursing and medical care in Cranleigh.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Charity continued to make grants and generate income which supported the activities of the Cranleigh Village Hospital.

Investment performance

Interest rates on cash balances remained low during the year and near term future rates are likely to fluctuate.

Rathbones Investment Management continue to manage investments on a Discretionary basis with a brief of providing income with a cautious approach consistent with growth potential. All investment activities are monitored by the board.

The investment performance this year yielded income of £57,607 compared to £49,220 last year, an increase this year, with dividends rising by £9,855 against a fall in interest received of £1,468.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income generation

The Charity's gross unrestricted income for the year was £58,448, an increase compared to £50,805, arising from investment returns rising. There were no legacy receipts in the current or previous year although one is anticipated in the next financial year.. The Trustees thank all the Charity's supporters for their work and generosity throughout the year.

Investment policy and objectives

The board is responsible for the Charity's Investment policy. The Trustees have appointed Rathbones Investment Management to manage investments on a discretionary basis with a cautious approach to risk, with a view to maintaining income and keeping asset values ahead of inflation. Investment activities are monitored by the board and reviewed at the Trustees' regular meetings.

Reserves policy

The Charity has no restricted reserves but the Officers and Trustees regularly consider this bearing in mind the nature of the income and expenditure where possible and the need to match the cost of further equipment requested by the existing hospital, day centre and medical practice against the need to build up funds to support any new enlarged hospital and clinics.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Grant expenditure

Grants were made during the year totalling £26,700 compared to £76,765 last year, which includes regular donations for End of Life Care as further detailed in note 4 on page 10.

FUTURE PLANS

Over the past few years we have fully funded the new Radiography Department, contributed to the now well established Maternity and Early Years Hub, as well as the Orthopaedics Department and renovation and improved facilities for patients and staff of the Outpatients areas.

We have continued to provide financial support for the Medical Practice to enhance the patient experience and have this year increased our ongoing contribution to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice at Home, which augments the cover provided in the Cranleigh area. We have recently agreed a grant to improve the patient experience in the Physiotherapy department which will be paid in the next financial year.

The awareness of the defibrillators we placed around the village together with those funded by the Lions has been highlighted with new signage.

Current ongoing commitments can be met from investment income arising from our portfolio managed by Rathbones Investment Management which continue to return a satisfactory yield. To spread risk, a proportionate amount of cash is still held in both instant access and term accounts, and we continually consider ways to maximise our income from deposits and investments.

There is still room for further medical facilities in the hospital; the League is currently working with the District Nurse Team to help them with accommodation in the hospital including providing funding for a bladder scanner for local use. We are also involved in negotiations with the Royal Surrey County Hospital which it is hoped will culminate in the establishment of a Minor Injuries Unit for Cranleigh, and we are happy to consider how we can contribute funding to help realise this ambition.

Our substantial funds will enable us to continue our long standing remit to support the work and patients of the medical facilities in Cranleigh and district. While there are no current plans for expansion of the Radiography Department, our ambitions in this area would involve substantial expenditure which could involve a fundraising exercise.

Several trustees have retired this year so we are actively considering candidates to join us to contribute to our work.

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable charity, which is a public benefit entity, have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (2nd edition, effective January 2019), "Charities SORP" and Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure and irrecoverable vat

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transactions value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Fund accounting

Funds held by the Charity are all unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.

Going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate, especially in light of Coronavirus, and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections as amended to take into account Coronavirus implications. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Fixed asset investments

All fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date.
