To provide or assist in the running of outpatients tea bars.
To recruit and assist in the recruitment of voluntary workers for the League.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the
charity should underlake.
Achievements and perfonnance
l am pleased to report that even though we are working in difficult times, our Leage of Friends, a modern friendly
cafe in the main hospital, has continued to provide a good and successul seNice lo the patients. visitors and staff
at the George Eliot Hospital. During the year we have reopened our second cafe now called Eliot's in the foyer of
the Maternity Hospital. The cafe was extensively refurbished by the Hospital's Estates and is now offering the
same friendly service to patients, visitors and staff. Our main regular income comes from both our cafes, which
are staffed by our team of around 100 volunteers.
We have seen trade gradually increasing Ihroughout the year, making a surplus of £123,035 in 2024. Donalions
and legacies amounted to £2,778 for which we are extremely grateful. Collection boxes amounted to £2,422 and
subscription were £242. The deposit interest has increased to £35,769 because of the rise in interest rates and
our reserves policy to ensure that any surplus funds not needed for the immediate purchase of eqUIp￿Ent are
plaGed on deposit until they are needed.
We are pleased to report that equipment purchased for the Hospital increased to £99,928 in 2024 compared to
£53,657 last year. We are continuing to work to promote the League in the Hospital publicising handovers of
equipment and improving the process for managing applications for equipment from departments.
Without our wonderful dedicated volunteers. none of this would be possible, so heartfelt thanks to everyone who
so generously give up their time, to ensure the League of Friends continues to thrive.
Financial review
The Income and expenditure for the year and transfers to and from the various funds are shown in Ihe attached
financial statements. The financial stalements are prepared in accordance with the current statutory
