16[th] January Ealing Hospital League of Friends AGM: Trustees Report

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Instrument: Constitution as amended 1[st] February 1978 and 31[st] October 1990.

Charitable Objectve

Achievements and Performance Developments

The cafe has been run satisfactorily during the year with an increase in pricing and strict cost control measures implemented to offset the increase in operating costs. The staff have also been able to close later and open earlier on certain days when well-staffed, and are aiming to make the extended hours permanent. Various initiatives were implemented to increase footfall and profitability given the stiff competition from commercial operators, which had opened in the vicinity, and which targets the same customers. It had sufficient reserves to allow charitable expenditure to be made, as was charged in the accounts.

Unprecedented Events Covid-19 & Doctor Strikes

Covid has had an obvious impact on trading income but it is hoped that profitability continues to recover. The Trustees are monitoring income and expenditure and, if it becomes necessary, will take measures to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the charity’s free reserves. As the hospital is recovering and adjusting (going back to normal) the footfall is increasing, visitation restrictions have been eased which is helpful.

Nurses & Doctor strikes unfortunately had a very negative effect on footfall which meant that the café was not only quiet but ordering made difficult.

Identfable benefts for patents and staf:

This is a very valued facility by both patients and staff, its attractive and useful stock catches the eye of many people. It is manned by League Volunteers, one paid staff manager and 2 paid staff members, who keep it stocked with a wide range of hot and cold food and beverages, and other popular items.

This has been a challenging year for the patients and staff of Ealing Hospital as well as for the wider community. The Trustees have tried to ensure that focus was given to the following:

Staf and volunteers:

The Trustees would like to extend their thanks to the Café Manager, Ann Cousins, and her team. Thanks also to all the volunteers of the charity, who keep the shop open and provide a warm welcome to patients and visitors alike.

Financial Review

Financial position and future plans to increase profits:

The League had net assets of £83,352 as at 31st May 2023 (2022 : £99,671). The cafe is still running at a loss due to reduced footfall and competitors, however, the loss was far lower than the previous year.

Profits have gone up by 17% on last year.

Various cost control measures have been put in place with initiatives implemented to increase footfall to generate growth. The League has sufficient reserves and cash to maintain a solvent and liquid position.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilites

Financial position and future plans:

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement
