A14NUAL REPORT. No. 43
Dear Friend5,
It is my pleasure to present Southmead Hospital League of Friends annual report.
At last. after 3 years. we are hopin8 that ¥ can safely meet up again. The Covid pandemic was
something that we all had never experienced before, but now that life is retuming to how it used to be the
Trustees. with the agreement from the Tnjst, feel that it would be safe to hold a face-to-face meeting.
A5 you w imagine during the time the coffee shop was closed the League lost a lot of income. Once it
reopened after havin8 health risk assessments on the volunteers, an extended counter, the erection of
protective Perspex panels, masks and a <)ne-way system the news soon Spread and business has increased
steadily since.
During the closure the Trustees continued to meet every 6 weeks by zoomlteams. A new lease for the
coffee shop area has had to be a8reed, we are waiting for the final draft. A document was produced by the
Trust, Memorandum of Understandin& Y4hith details the Trusts and LOF commitments to volunteers and
relevant procedures.
The Trustees have c<tinUed to be able to accept applkatlons for funding of equipment. and after
consideration have been able to approve the funding.
The committee would wekome new members with fresh ideas, and. would ask you to consider putting
your name foTward and iotnin8 us every 6 weeks
With regards to the rnembership. durin8 the break we10st 9 volunteers for varityjs reasons, but l am
pleased to say we have 8 new volunteer& As yet we are not open in the evenings or weekends. for this we
would need more people to c(xne forward.
Earlier in the year the Trust held a volunteers celebration afternoon tea at the Bristol Hotel, several of the
leagueg volunteers received certificates for 5.10. 15. 20 yearg setvice with Sandra receiving flowers and a
certificate for 25 years.
I gvie my thank5 to Kathryn Tudor (NBT) for her support. Sandra. Michael (treasurer) the trustees, and the
volunteers. Without you all the Lea8ue would not continue.
I hope to see as many of you as possible on June 7th
Best wishes

Independent Examinerfs Report on the Paounts
My examination was carried out in accothnce with the general dlrectlons 8iven by the Charity
CommissioneT& An eXaMinatn includes a re¥v of tl* acti)untin8 records kept bythe charity and
a comparison of the accounts presented with those record& It also iKludes cOlderatIon of any
unusual Items or disclosures in the accounts aftd the seekin8 of explanations from the trustees
concemlng any such mattets. The prOdUreS wthrtaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit and, consequently. I do not express an audit opinty)n on the accounts.
lfi conhertion with my examination, no matter has come to my attenlK•n.
111 Which gives me reasonable cause to belie¥e that in any matsrial respect the requlrements
to keep accountir* records in aCCordare with section 41 of the Charities
Art 1993; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accountir8 records ènLI cornply.
with the accountirg requirements of Ad
have not been met or
121 to which, In my opinion, attent*Jn $Iuld be drawn In order to enable a
proper understandiNd of the accounts to be read.
