TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of Torbay Hospital League of Friends for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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

a. Policies and Objectives

The objects of the League, as set out in the Governing Document, shall be to relieve patients and former patients of the Torbay Hospitals (now only the Torbay Hospital) and to support the work of the hospital. To achieve this overall purpose the Governing Document sets out various practical steps to be taken.

The aims of the Charity are to support the continuing development of Torbay Hospital by supplementing funds available for equipment as well as for research education and training. Additionally, where it can, the Charity aims to foster interest in the work of the Hospital by the provision of voluntary work within the Hospital.

The main objectives are to achieve as great a financial contribution as possible and continue to support Hospital services by the provision of such other services as we are able.

b. Strategies for achieving Objectives.

These included holding regular monthly meetings of the Management Committee to keep close control over income and expenditure and consulting with the Hospital Trust to obtain details of what equipment is needed or whether the provision of funds for improvement or enhancement of staff or other facilities could be made. The Charity also seeks to publicise its efforts inter alia by holding a variety of events both small and large throughout the year including Tabletop sales, Flag Days, Draws, and the sale of Christmas Cards. Where appropriate, consideration is given to the making of a public appeal to raise funds for a specific project.

c. Activities for achieving Objectives.

Legacy income is a significant part of the Charity’s overall income and as such the Charity will be doing all it can to promote itself as a Charity worthy of charitable giving. The Charity continues to enjoy a healthy level of income, which has enabled it to continue making available monies to the Hospital for a variety of purposes as requested by the Hospital. The accounts give a full picture of the extent of the grants made. The Management committee continues to encourage the Hospital to approach the League for donations of any kind for items however large or small.

d. Volunteers

Our office on Level 4 is now well established as a base within the Hospital from which we can make our presence felt and advertise future events. Additionally, we are holding regular Tabletop sales on a weekly basis on Level 4 to sell branded items such as Pens, Mugs, Diaries, Christmas Cards, Note Pads etc. We hope also to sell second hand books donated to us along with jigsaw puzzles and knitted garments for babies. We would welcome applications from supporters of the League to help the Trustees man these regular sales events.

e. Activities undertaken to further the charity’s purposes for the public benefit.

In deciding both the current and future policy and activities, the charity has referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. In particular the trustees consider how the planned policies and activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The nature of the activities undertaken during the year is set out elsewhere in this report.

TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

a. Key Financial Performance Indicators

The year has been successful, in terms of income generated and payments made to the Hospital. The League has continued to concentrate on established annual events such as holding a successful stall on Babbacombe Downs in August, as well as repeating our annual Bed Push along the Sea Front in Torquay. Wendy and Alan Salter again kindly hosted a charity Tea Party for us in September and in December we were again pleased to be invited to have a stall at the Wellswood Christmas Party Street Fayre. These Activities, and others such as sale of Christmas Cards, Draws, Bed Push, Collection buckets, Coffee mornings and other social events are designed to promote the League and its aims to the public in order to secure funds to be passed back to the Hospital.

Total sums paid to the Hospital this year are £677,267 (2024 £361,835). The League has agreed a new protocol with the Hospital to ensure that grants made to the Hospital are for equipment that the Hospital are not able to finance from alternative sources but which they consider to be necessary and which they will be able to maintain throughout its expected life.

In broad terms departments within the hospital are advised that the League is keen to support bids for services based at Torbay Hospital for

The process starts with an Expression of Interest form being submitted which is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team including medical, nursing, and operational leaders who will look at how it fits with the wider strategy and any estates or infrastructure plans and assess it against their scoring matrix. A successful bid is then forwarded to the League for consideration.

b. Review of Activities

The League has conducted a number of activities throughout the year, which are designed to promote the League and its objects to the public to secure funds for the Hospital. The activities undertaken to raise funds in 2025 include sale of Christmas Cards, Bed Push, Collection buckets, and other community events. Such events publicise the work of the League and increases awareness of what the League does for the Community and are as important as making a profit for the League.

These activities all help to foster a team spirit between League members. As important as making a profit for the League, is the fact that each event publicises the work of the League and increases awareness of what the League does for the Community.

c. Investment Policy and Performance

As the League has variable income derived from legacies, fund raising and similarly variable payments dependent upon opportunities presented to it by the Hospital, the bulk of its funds held until payment are invested in interest bearing Bank accounts and Investment Companies. The Trustees consider this to be the simplest and most risk-free method to earn income and maintain capital value.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the near future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

b. Reserves Policy

The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have decided that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to enable it at all times to meet its current designated commitments and anticipate future calls by the Hospital as and when they arise with a minimum of £250,000. The total value of reserves at the end of the year was £2,127,131 (2024: £2,283,052) of which free reserves amount to £653,549 (2024: £919,933)

c. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The League is entirely dependent upon the generosity of the public to make donations either through legacies, gifts or support to the various fund-raising activities conducted throughout the year by the League and its members. The income from all sources during the year was £546,876 (2024 £390,304).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

a. Constitution

The League is an unincorporated body, constituted under a Governing Document originally drawn up in 1954 and subsequently amended, to provide amenities and services for patients and staff at Torbay Hospital. Over the years it has become one of the leading Leagues in the country having provided gifts exceeding £22,000,000.

The League is able to enhance what Torbay Hospital provides and buy 'extras’ that can bring the most advanced methods of treatment to benefit local people and visitors to the area. Members of the League act in a number of ways for the benefit of Torbay Hospital by supporting its work, recruiting volunteers, maintaining the relationship between volunteers and the Hospital, and creating a link between the Hospital and the community it serves.

b. Method of Appointment of for Election of Trustees

The Trustees, who together form the Management Committee, are appointed under the terms of the Governing Document from the membership body (save for appointments required under the Governing Document) provided they are also members of the League. Elected trustees serve for a period of five years after which they may put themselves forward for re-election. The Management Committee may remove the Secretary and Treasurer at any time.

c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees.

New Trustees are found through recommendation by existing members/trustees or by word of mouth or are volunteers who wish to become more involved with the Charity. Their names, having been proposed and seconded, are presented at the Annual General Meeting before being voted upon. New Trustees are given an induction pack so that they are aware of the Charity’s background, its financial basis and their obligations and responsibilities as Trustees.

d. Organisational Structure and decision making

The Management Committee meets monthly to approve grants to the Hospital. Protocols are in place with the Hospital to ensure that bids for grants from the League are first assessed by the Hospital on the basis of need and affordability of maintenance to ensure that any equipment purchased will be of the greatest benefit and can be properly serviced and maintained by the Hospital for its expected lifetime. The Management Committee deals with administration relating to the general activities of the League including receiving a monthly financial report, and reports from Membership, Publicity, Linen League and regarding Events

organised by the League. The League’s finances are dealt with by the Treasurer who reports monthly to the Management Committee. Various members of the Management Committee have specific roles under the overall control of the Management Committee to whom they report at the monthly meetings.

The League is a member of the Devon Association of Hospital Leagues of Friends.

e. Risk Management

The General Committee is responsible for the management of risks faced by the Charity and continually review those risks and put in place practices and controls to be observed throughout the year. Those controls include:

The Trustees consider that the risks identified have been mitigated as far as possible.

f. Fundraising

The League organises fundraising events and co-ordinates the activities of supporters both in the hospital and in the wider community The League does not use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. There have been no complaints about fundraising activity this year.

The League follows as closely as possible relevant parts of the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. The League assists and monitors supporters engaged in fundraising activity to ensure compliance of the Code with particular focus on how to approach and work with members of the public who are potentially vulnerable.

Any direct marketing is to be undertaken by a Trustee and member of the Management Committee to ensure that it is not unreasonably intrusive or persistent. All marketing material will contain clear instructions on how a person can be removed from mailing lists.

Contact is to be made only to members of the public who consent and on an infrequent basis. Our Newsletter is sent out to Members on a bi-annual basis and our e-Newsletter is currently sent on a two-monthly basis to members of the League who have given their consent.

Plans for future periods.

The League intends to continue to support Torbay Hospital to the full extent it can and in particular:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Torbay Hospital League of Friends for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees' Report and Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS (CONTINUED)

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 7, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS (CONTINUED)

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included considering the following:

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, which included incorrect recognition of revenue, management override of controls using manual journal entries, purchase ledger, and identified the greatest potential for fraud as incorrect recognition of revenue and management override using manual journal entries.

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We identified and obtained an understanding of the laws and regulations that are of significance to the Charity by discussions with Trustees and by updating our understanding of the sector in which the Charity operates in. Laws and regulations that are of direct significance to the Charity and of which non compliance could result in material misstatement are the Charities Act, Charities SORP and tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

Our procedures to respond to risks identified for the Charity, as necessary, included the following:

Page 10

TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS (CONTINUED)

of material misstatement due to fraud,

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

TORBAY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) second edition published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Torbay Hospital League of Friends meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 GOING CONCERN

The Charity has sufficient cash to meet all known outgoings. Because of the nature of the Charity, cash outflows can be reduced to a minimum to ensure the viability of both itself and the pod. The Charity will only make gifts to the Hospital when there are funds available to do so. There is no ongoing cash requirement within the next 12 months which cannot be met by current funds.

On the basis of the above the trustees consider it appropriate for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 to be prepared on a going concern basis.

1.3 INCOME

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

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.4 EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 INTEREST RECEIVABLE

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1.6 TAXATION

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1.7 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

1.8 DEBTORS

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.9 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid bank deposit investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.10 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

1.11 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 transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.12 FUND ACCOUNTING

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGMENT

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities have been discussed below:

Critical areas of judgment:

Income from legacies needs to be recognised in line with FRS102. Legacy income is unpredictable and the timescale from notification to receipt can be extensive depending upon the complexity of the estate and there can be uncertainty over the exact amount the charity will receive. Legacies are assessed on an individual basis in order to consider whether there is entitlement - control over the rights or other access to the economic benefit has passed to the charity; Probable - it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the legacy will flow to the charity; and measurement - the monetary value or amount of the income can be measured reliably.

The Charity has been notified of residuary legacies where a reliable valuation of the estate cannot be calculated, and therefore the legacies due to the Charity cannot be made. As the outcome is currently uncertain for the legacies they have not been recognised within the financial statements.
