The Charity exists solelylo promote and supportthework ofwest Cornwall Hospital in
Penzance.
It does this by raising money from the public and works closely with the hospitsl management to
identify opportunities to improve and widen the patient services provided at the hospital. This is
done by providing grants to purchase equipment and, on occasion. provide enhanced training
opportunities for staff when a patient benefit is identified.
The Lo2gue also provides a bank of volunteers to assist at the hospital including operating a
regular hospital trolley service to the two in-patient wards.
During the year. the League has responded to a small number of requests for equipment at the
hospital. At the present time. there Is a large building project underway to provide a new Out-
Patient Department (due to be completed in Spring 20251 and the Trustees anticipato that there
will be 8 number of sizeable requests to provide facilities to enhance the patient experience as
part of this projgct.
Ourfundraising projects have continued to recover gradually from the low point of the Covid
pandemic with particular highlights being the increasing sales of Christmas cards. We are also
grateful to all the supporters of the League who have provided facilities and time without charge
to maximise the fun(J-raising opportunities.
Our investment income has substantially increased reflectingthe rise in interest rates over the
period covored bythis report.
We continue to build our reserves following depletion caused by 8 major investment in the
refurbished Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Departments. The Trustees are aware that
the League is a beneficiary of a number of estates that are currently going through probate. The
proceeds from these legacies will further strengthen our reserves and ensure that the League
remains positioned to respond positively to requests for further project funding.
The Trustees are grateful to all the members. volunteers, members of the public and hospital
staff who continue to support its work to ensure that West Cornwall Hospital is 8ble to provide
the highest standards of diagnostic and treatment facilities to its patients.
