Trustees’ Annual Report y/e 30 November 2025
Reference and administration
Maesteg Hospital League of Friends; charity number 236810; c/o Maesteg Community Hospital, Neath Road, Maesteg CF34 9PW
Trustees serving during the financial year ending 30 November 2025:
Cllr Ross Penhale-Thomas; Margaret Harris; Leida Salway; Dianne Thomas; John Thomas; Michael Banks; Karen Harris
Structure and governance
See constitution. There has been no recruitment of trustees during this period.
Objectives and activities
As set out in the constitution.
Achievements and performance
MHLoF has been involved in meetings with the local health board, in accordance with its revised constitution that reflects an influencing role on the provision of local health services. No public fundraising activities have taken place in this year.
MHLoF has traditionally been a fundraising body to support activities and the purchase of assets in the hospital setting. Since the pandemic, and more so in the last couple of years as the health board has looked to develop a blueprint for future healthcare services in the area, the Hospital League of Friends’ long-term role as a fundraising body may appear to no longer be warranted.
Financial review
See annual accounts, as accepted at AGM.
Public benefit statement
I confirm that Trustees have complied with their duties to have due regard for public benefit.
Signed
Ross Thomas, Chair, on behalf of Trustees
