The charity has its own constitution which defines, in general terms, the activities as being for the provision of facilities for the medical and health care of persons, at present located within North East Surrey. Arising from this, amenities for medical staff can be included. The charity is, under the constitution, able to provide for this activity by inter alia, supporting hospitals within the area. In fact, at present, the Trustees fulfil the objectives of the charity by supporting **Leatherhead Hospital** , a community **NHS** facility. The Trustees consider that this support fulfils the requirement for **Public Benefit** .

The officers of the charity are appointed by the members and consist of the Honorary Chairperson, the Honorary Secretary and the Honorary Treasurer.

Baker Hon Secretary The League of Friends of Leatherhead Hospital Leatherhead Hospital Poplar Road Leatherhead KT22 8SD** ## **Investment Policy** As the League of Friends is mainly engaged in providing equipment and in some cases reimbursement for building work for **Leatherhead Hospital** , the Trustees do not feel justified in engaging in long term investment strategies. Consequently, all funds are either retained in a **Barclays Bank Current Account** if required for immediate use or deposited with **CCLA Investment Management Limited** in the **COIF Charity Funds Account** which provides some interest return coupled with short term availability, and minimal or no risk. There is of course, no capital appreciation or loss on such deposits. ## **Significant Activities during the year.** The League of Friends was hoping to be involved in the creation of the new physiotherapy department in the existing Leach Ward of the hospital; and make a significant financial contribution to the project during the year. The League of Friends was involved in numerous meetings with the Epsom & St Helier Hospital Trust Property Management team. However, the project was eventually fully funded by the NHS and it was not possible for the League of Friends to put funds towards it. However during the year the League of Friends continued to respond to smaller funding requests from hospital departments - - Funding the purchase of two new pieces of equipment for use in the newly refurbished physiotherapy department. - Funding of the restoration of the painting of Mr Leach (surgeon instrumental in the creation of the Leatherhead Hospital) which is now hung in the new Leach physiotherapy waiting area. - Funding of the installation of new vertical blinds in various treatment rooms to improve patient privacy. The League of Friends is currently reviewing estimates for a significant amount of work to be done to complete the Leach Ward Project including refurbishing a kitchen, toilets and treatment rooms along the Leach corridor. ## **Expenditure during the year for the benefit of Leatherhead Hospital.** £9,790 ## **Income during the year received by the League of Friends from legacies** £100,957 3 | P a g e The "Notes to the Accounts" form a part of the account. ## **THE LEAGUE of FRIENDS of the LEATHERHEAD HOSPITAL** ## **Registered Charity No. 257011** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH OCTOBER 2025** 1.
