## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objects of the League are as follows: -
(i) To mobilise, encourage, foster and maintain the interest of the public in the patients and the support of the work of the Haslemere and District Hospital (the Hospital) by means of voluntary service.
(ii) To maintain the relations and association between voluntary bodies and the Hospital; and to provide opportunity for such voluntary bodies to continue their activities for the benefit of the Hospital.
(iii) To provide funds for the purpose either of supplementing in such manner as the League thinks fit the resources of the Hospital services provided there, or of putting such funds or any part thereof at the disposal of the operators of the Hospital from time to time or whosoever provides services out of the Hospital to supplement such resources.
(iv) To assist in the recruitment of voluntary workers in and for the Hospital.
(v) To provide & link between the Hospital and the community which it serves.
(iv) To do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects or any of them.
## **Significant activities**
Early in the year we were nominated by In Home Care in Haslemere to be the beneficiary of the “Pennies Christmas Raffle Collection”. The staff at In Home Care received over 130 raffle prizes from the local area including Liphook, Hindhead and Grayshott as well as Haslemere, and this was their most popular and successful charitable collection to date as Haslemere Hospital is so well regarded by the community. The monies received of over £1,000 will go towards the purchase of a 12 lead ECG machine.
The book “Haslemere Hospital – 1923-2023. One Hundred years of Healthcare to the town” continued to be sold with all profits coming to the LOF, and to date has raised over £2,700.
In November we again supported the Haslemere Charities Fair which was celebrating its 40th year, and we have been supporting it since its very first fair.
In 2024 we have had a reduced activity in expenditure after a very productive previous year of equipment purchases and centenary celebrations.
Our most significant piece of equipment provided was a HoverJack Air Patient Flat Lift for the district nurses at £6,956.
We provided a picnic table and chairs, seat cushions and 2 parasols for the courtyard garden amounting to £1,726.
We upgraded the hospital TV aerials by providing a new profiler unit costing £1,270.
The Physiotherapy department received a male pelvis model and 2 medicine slam balls at £226. Another £100 was spent on Emergency toiletry bags and door alarms.
Gardening and the purchasing of plants and trees continued throughout the year to enhance the patient’s enjoyment of the garden. We spent £1,130.
We continued to provide the service of the trolley shop to patients in the wards which was appreciated for its stock and the sociability factor.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF HASLEMERE & DISTRICT HOSPITAL**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The League of Friends of Haslemere & District Hospital**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the The League of Friends of Haslemere & District Hospital (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
