The premises from which the League operates were previously provided rent free by the hospital. In
April 2014, a new preini5es lease was created between Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust aDd the
League. Under the lems of this leas¢, a peppercom rent is chargeable. but the League 15 committed to
donations of not le￿ than £50,000 per year lo the Trust, for the benefit of clinical services at the
hospital. Tl)is ¢ommitment was on hold in the year ended 31 Marcli 2023, due to the NHS Trust
agreeing lo a rent 'holiday' following the impact of th¢ coronavirus pandemic.
The Charity is dependent on an averag¢ of approximatrly 29 volunteers, who are mainly retired people,
to service the cafeteria and tea bar. In addition. there were 4 paid staff at the year-end. these individuals
held the posts of manager, assistant manager, generai assistant and cleaner.
Th¢ majority of the Charity'5 funds are provid¢d from the sale of refreshmenrs and goods sold in tlie
cafeteria and tea bar. togcther with monies received as donations, bequcsts and gifts. There are no oiher
significant activities.
Day lo day administration of the cafeteria and tea bar is delegated to the paid staff, with overriding
decision making by the Trusiees. The Trustees meet on a regular basis to discuss thc League's affairs,
and consider iequests from th¢ hospital for equipment etc.
Publie benefit
In reviewing the Charity's objectives and activities, the TNstee5 have considered the guidelines laid
down by the Charity Commission in relation to public benefit. The Trustees are of the opinion that the
Charity's objectives and activities are totally in accoTdan¢e therewith.

for Trustees are put forward prior to the annual general Ineeting, when the nominee has confimied their
willingness to serve. and th¢n formally proposed, seconded and voted upon at the meeting itself.

meetings where poli¢y decisions are taken. and matters of concern discussed. There is no specific
training policy, although ccrtain of the Trustees attend meetings of "Attend" (formerly the National
Association of Leagues of Friends) and circulat¢ infomiation from such meetings to the othcr Trustecs.
