SE
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the Charity shall be to relieve sickness and to preserve the health of patients of which for the purpose of carrying out the above object, but not otherwise, the league shall have the following powers:
(a) to supplement the service provided by the hospital for the health, welfare and comfort of the patients therein by the provision of facilities and equipment which may be required for the treatment of such patients, or for the efficient running of the hospital.
(b) to raise funds, invite and receive contributions from any person or persons or organisations whatsoever by way of donation or otherwise. To take and accept gifts of property, whether subject to any special trust or not, for the object of the league.
(c) to provide or assist in the provision of amenities in the hospital for patients and staff, including a hospital tea bar and ward trolley.
(d) to assist when and where required in the recruitment of voluntary workers in and for the hospital.
(e) to charge such reasonable contributions and subscriptions as may be determined from time to time by the committee.
(f) to do all such things as are necessary for the attainment of the above object.
(g) to undertake and execute any charitable trust.
(h) to insure the property of the charity against any foreseeable risk and take out other insurance policies to protect the charity when required.
(i) to pay for indemnity insurance for the Trustees.
Public benefit
The principal objective of the Charity is to help and benefit patients and medical staff at the West Berkshire Community Hospital. The Charity seeks to meet this objective by funding the purchase of medical equipment for use within the West Berkshire Community Hospital and by Community Nursing. This equipment would not otherwise be available, and the League selects equipment on the basis of merit and need.
The Charity continued to support the requirements of the hospital for the supply of capital equipment and, from its resources maintained by public subscription, fund raising and donations, was able to meet all requests made by consultants and staff.
The Charity offers the best possible health service to the local community by continuing to supply equipment that the NHS is not able to supply. Equipment purchased by the Charity enables treatments to be carried out at the West Berkshire Community Hospital thus saving frequent, fatiguing journeys to Reading or Oxford hospitals which is particularly helpful for frail and elderly patients.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
----- End of picture text -----
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD 102 - REDUCED DISCLOSURE EXEMPTIONS
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’:
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
INCOME AND ENDOWMENTS
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
EXPENDITURE
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
RAISING FUNDS
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities for its and services beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. The income from charitable activities is shown net of costs.

15. Chairman’s Report and Post Balance Sheet Events
The last year has been like no other. As a charity, we have had to contend with and adapt to the pandemic, alongside every other organisation, as best we can.
Having to shut down our Tea Bar, book table as well as all other fund raising activities has been a bitter pill to swallow and very frustrating when all we want to do is continue our volunteer work. Our much loved Tea Bar has been completely refurbished and is ready to be opened once it is safe to do so.
The charity generated income of £38,466 for year ending 31 March 2021 and this resulted in a surplus of £29,901. This is as a result of reduced income generating activity due to COVID-19 and the charity will be seeking to increase its income and purchases of equipment for the community hospital in the future.
Behind the scenes, work has not stopped and indeed continued at some pace with some very exciting proposals just recently put before the Committee, hopefully ensuring the charity’s continued success.
The challenges of running the charity during lockdown, especially not being able to meet in person, has meant many projects ideas and aspirations have taken so much longer to bring to fruition and I have no doubt will prove difficult for some time to come, testing all of our patience and resolve.
As Chairman, I am filled with pride and gratitude for all the hard work the Committee members, supporters and friends of the charity continue to provide, ensuring that the charity is able to continue to release funds so desperately needed making our community hospital one of the best.
