for the Year Ended 30 April 2024
FimiRE PLANS
The trustees intend to continue to promote and progress The League's obJectlves. Investments will be kept under
review and changes may be effected rf judged beneficial. The level of reserves is decided by the trustees taking
account of demands made upon The League's resources.
The restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic led to a marked ￿uctIon in in numbers of visitors to the h05Pital
with an obvious impact ori custom in The league's reta￿ Outle￿ In addition many volunteers arp in age or health
categories which make it inadvisable for them to continue in their role5. Measures, both physical and operational.
have been introduced to comply with medical advi￿ on the control of the virus.
As Covid restrictions have la￿elY been lifted footfall has increased and is now ahead of the pre pandemic level.
Revenues have recovered sufficiently for surpluse5 to be generated again and barring serfous Covid outbreaks leading
to ￿$t￿ctionS the trustees are satisfied that a satisf*ory surplus will continue to be earned.
Active consideration is being given as to how The L￿ue might expand the scope of it's operations and agreement in
principle has been reached to open an outlet selling beverage5 and snxks in the new Diagn05tic Centre. Discussions
are ongoing regarding possible openings in other departments of the hospital. The trustees will consider the level of
reseNes in the context of anticipated fvnding required forany additional retsil actNity.
