ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
All of the Society'scharitableactivitiesfocuson providingcareand support,directlyand indirectly,for patientsat, or who have been
dischargedfrom,the RoyalLondonHospital(RLH),and thatis deemedto be outsidethe scopeof the NationalHealthService. This
includestangiblesupportforindividualsorforgroupsofpatients,orbywayofgrantstolocalorganisationsthatprovidecare for
them. Grants are also made from time to time to support developments in clinical care that directly benefit patients.
ThecircumstancesimpactingtheHospitalanditspatientsin2022continuedtobeaffectedbythecoronaviruspandemicofthe 2
previousyears.However,therewere no requestsfor one-offfinancialassistancefromwithinthe Hospitalcommunityduringthe year
as life slowly returned to normal.
AlthoughthefacilitiesatJamesHoraHomewerewithdrawnforself-caringpatientsandrelativesofpatientsasthepandemic took
holdin2020,theSocietycontinuedtohonouritsagreementtofundanydomesticrequirementsintheHomeandmadeits usual
paymentsto the NHS Trusttowardsstaffingcosts.The overnightfacilitieswere howeverused by key Hospitalstafffrom time to time
during2022,astheyhadbeenintheprevious2years.Laterintheyearthefacilitiesweremadeavailablemoregenerally, though
take up by patients or relatives proved to be very low during this latter period.
The 'Routesto Roots'project(R2R)operatedby ProvidenceRow (PR) in liaisonwith the HospitalPathwaysTeam at RLH continued
to carryout its valuableroleto prevent,as far as possible,homelesspatientsof the Hospitalbeingdischargedbackontothe streets
of London- despitethe PR team havingto work 'remotely'for partsof the year.The projectalso servesto reducere-admission rates
to the Hospital.The Societymakes a grant to PR to fund some of the staffingcosts of the project,and its Trusteesreceive half-yearly
reportssettingout numbersof patientsreceivingassistanceand sample(anonymous)case studies.The grant made in 2022 under a
3-yearagreementexpiring31stMarch2022,togetherwithanew1-yearagreementfrom1stApril2022,amountedto£78,325. In
addition,the sumof £9,000was alsograntedto PR for assistingR2R clientswithminorcoststo assistwithrehabilitationgiven their
lackoffinancialresources.RegularstatementsarereceivedfromPRsettingouttheamountsandcircumstancesofthe individual
