Ripley Hospital League of Friends

Chairman's report

For The Year Ended 30 September 2020

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic this Extraordinary Meeting has been called at the request of the four officers of the League of Friends, Phyllis Holmes Chair, Brian Wright Vice Chair, John Briggs Treasurer, Jane Barnett Secretary and four members of the League of Friends, Diana Makin, Barbara Smith, Rob Yeomans and Phil Marsden, as we are unable to hold our Annual General Meeting due to the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions of numbers able to meet up. The meeting has been held to approve the Accounts for year 2019/2020 and to ask the officers to stay on until such time an Annual General Meeting can be called.

October to December 2019 saw the League of Friends operating as usual. Our programme of events for the year were in situ.

The 28th November saw the Lights on the Tree of Memories in the waiting room switched on by the Mayor of Ripley Town and the Ripley Morris Dancers danced again. This event raised £435 and thanks was given to Brian and Sue for organising this.

This was quickly followed by a very successful Christmas Fayre on 30th November which raised £1345. Thank you to each and every one of our members for their contribution at this event. The Carol Service on the ward was held on Tuesday 17th December officiated by the Hospital Chaplain and was well attended by the members of the League of Friends.

On the 9th January 2020 we were presented with a cheque by the Ripley Morris Dancers following their guising around the local hostelries of Ripley and the surrounding area over the festive period.

We celebrated completion, handover and the opening of the upgrade of the Physiotherapy rooms and the staff area on 17th January 2020. No work had been done in this area since it was first built in 1989. This upgrade was fully funded by us at a total cost of £162,645.63. The upgrade was opened by William Jones from DCHS with the Mayors of Amber Valley and Ripley Town in attendance and a near full turn out of Ripley Morris Dancers who also treated us to a couple of dances. It was a joyous occasion.

At the request of the Officers and League of Friends members, our Secretary was asked to write to William Jones requesting a meeting with the DCHS Trust and the Officers of the League of Friends to discuss their plans for the future development of Ripley Hospital as we were looking for a new project. A date had been fixed for the end of March but due to the fast movement of Coronavirus the meeting was postponed until such time as the pandemic had subsided.

In February 2020 a new clock was fitted in the Clock Tower. Following a bequest of £500 for the existing clock to be back lit, it was found that the clock in question hadn't worked for some time so the League of Friends agreed to fund a new back lit clock at the total cost of £3666, the invoice for this has still not been received.

The last time the League of Friends was able to meet was on 12th March 2020. Our Spring Fayre due to be held on 28th March was cancelled due to the rise in Covid cases. The Tea Bar closed the following week for an indefinite period. The sell by dates of the chocolate, crisps, biscuits and drinks were checked and those coming up to their sell by date were cleared from the Tea Bar by Brian and Sue and donated to the Salvation Army Food Bank.

It was during the lockdown period March to June that it was decided we would have to cancel all our car boots and the Summer Garden Party at the beginning of July. Sadly as the year progressed it became evident that all our Christmas Fund Raising plans would have to be cancelled.

In September 2020 we had two small meetings of some members of the League of Friends, socially distance in a garden, but as the weather changed these were stopped.

At the beginning of 2019 the Officers of the League of Friends met the Phlebotomy Service Manager of the University Hospital of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Derby Hospital to discuss the use of Phlebotomy Units provided by the League of Friends at Ripley. Three units had been asked for and provided but only two were used on a regular basis and there were still horrendous queues most days. Monthly meetings were set up and then these went to quarterly, the last one held was on 26th February 2020. To our frustration we were not getting very far with a commitment from the Royal Derby Hospital to have three Phlebotomists on site every day using the units supplied as requested. Further meetings in 2020 were suspended due to Covid. The unit in Covid restricted times is presently working three days a week with two Phlebotomists and an appointment only basis only.

Chairman's report For The Year Ended 30 September 2020

We have continued to receive donations and bequests over the months and these have been recorded and banked. We had dared to hope to have a Charity stall on the Market at Christmas (out in the open) to have a small Christmas Fayre, Derbyshire was then put into Tier 3 and we cancelled. However the Christmas Puddings had been knitted by Diana, Jane and me and these have now all been sold and raised £190.

The Hospital asked if they could use our Christmas Tree and lights in the waiting room, Brian and Sue sorted this out and it has brightened up a very austere waiting room.

At the beginning of December a letter was sent out to all members and Tea Bar members informing them of what has been going on over the months. For the foreseeable future we are unable to open the Tea Bar. We know we are missed and many of us miss them.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ripley Hospital League of Friends

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ripley Hospital League of Friends (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
