TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements have been produced in accordance with current statutory requirements and the Charity's constitution document. The Charity continues to receive the majority of its income from Legacies, Donations, Subscriptions and fund raising.
We have endeavoured to optimise the interest we receive from monies held on deposit whilst keeping each account within the limits covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Because of the pandemic we have been unable to hold our usual fundraising events during the year. The charity continued to make grants in the year and support the Hospital by providing funding for equipment.
Total income for the year was £54,453 (£23,246 - 2020) and expenditure for the year amounted to £293,257 (£34,935 - 2020), giving rise to a deficit in the year of £238,804 (deficit of £11,689 - 2020). When the deficit is deducted from opening reserves of £506,126 a resulting balance on reserves of £267,412 at 31 December 2021 is carried forward.
RESERVES
The charity maintains an unrestricted general reserve fund which in the opinion of the Trustees, includes sufficient funds to meet all foreseeable obligations and provide additional amounts to cover contingencies.
The Charity has unrestricted reserve funds of £267,412.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. However, in practice the aim is to maximise the interest earning potential of the funds held by the Charity, whilst at the same time being cognisant of the likely timing of future expenditure and ensuring that, as far as possible, Charity funds are only deposited with recognised institutions and are also covered by the Financial Compensation Scheme.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Management Committee reviews the risks to which the Charity is subject and will seek to minimise these risks either by transferring the risk away or insuring where a transfer is not possible. Some level of risk has to be accepted.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
During the next 12 months the Management Committee of the Charity will meet periodically to discuss plans and formulate policy. The Charity will strive to continue to fulfill its objectives by providing both tangible financial fabric and support to the Hospital and medical services in the community. An important activity during the next 12 months will be the implementation of the new X ray machine and service improvements. It is also hoped that fundraising and membership activities can be progressed again as the Covid - 19 pandemic recedes.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The League of Friends of Aldeburgh and District Community Hospital is a registered charity (247890), formed on 8 March 1966 under its constitution document as amended on 18 March 1996.
The Charity is managed by the Trustees, who are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the Charity are: -
-
To assist patients and former patients of Aldeburgh Hospital and other individuals in the Community who are sick, convalescent, handicapped, disabled, infirm or in need of financial help, and generally to support the Charitable work of the the Hospital.
-
Educate the public in the needs of the patients and former patients of the Hospital and maintain the interest and support of the public.
-
Supplement the service provided by the Hospital for the health, welfare and comfort of the patients.
-
Provide facilities, buildings and equipment required for the treatment of such patients or the efficient running of the Hospital.
-
Recruit and assist in the recruitment of voluntary workers for and in the Hospital.
-
Provide a link between the Hospital and the Community it serves.
-
Raise funds for the work of the Hospital.
The trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
2021 has again been a difficult year with the Hospital dealing with the consequences of the Covid - 19 pandemic. The Charity has concentrated on providing support to the staff of the hospital and doing what it could to help them. The staff have been truly amazing through very challenging times with staff and patients becoming ill with the virus and the inevitable consequences. Our gardening team has done an amazing job keeping the gardens of the hospital looking lovely.
We are very pleased to have been able to progress the new X ray machine for the hospital which we paid for at the end of 2021. The new machine, with an enhanced service, we expect will go live towards the middle of 2022. The agreement by the NHS to proceed with this project demonstrates that NHS sees Aldeburgh Hospital as an important facility for the area.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The League of Friends of Aldeburgh and District Community Hospital
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The League of Friends of Aldeburgh and District Community Hospital (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
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:
●accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the
Act; or
●the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
●the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
