ACHIEVEMENTS ANO PERFORMANCE
Charltable actlvities
The main charitable artlvlty durong the year was providing grants to Bexhill Hospital.The grants were
awarded for the purchase of new equlpment and the refurbishment of facilities used by the patient5
and staff. A full list of the grants awarded Is given In note 8 and are in accordance with the charitable
objectives.
The grants awarded were chosen for the positNe impact on the treatment of patlents Ilving In the
Bexhill area, who would otherwlse have to wait longer or travel fijrther for treatment.
The charlty owns a beach chalet on Bexhill seafront and this is for the use of the staff of Bexhill
Hospital. The costs to malntabn the chalet are minimal and the benefit to the wellbelng of the staff Is
considered an important factor for retsining ownershlp.
Fundralslng activities
The League normally organises several activities throughout the year, whlch are deslgned to present
the League and its objects to the public to secure funds to be passed back to the Hospltal.
The League operates two shops within Bexhill Hospital, following reopening the Irvine Unit on 8th
September. The shop which now also have sandwiches and 15 open to patients, vlsitors and staff and is
manned by volunteers. The profit from the shop is used in the fvrtherance of the charitable activitles.

We held the second of our fund-raising buffet dance fijndraising evening in Ottober.
These attivities all help to foster a team spirit between League members. As important as making a
profit for the League, 15 the fact that each event publicises the work of the Leagije and increases
awareness of what the League does.
Invèstment perfornithnce
The bulk of Its funds held in interest bearing bank and bulldlng soclety accounts. The Trustees
consider this to be the 51mplest and most risk free method to earn income and malntain capital value.
The market is constantly monitored to ensure the best interest r3te5.
