**HOLBEACH AND EAST ELLOE HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS**
## **Trustees' Annual Report**
## **for the year ended 31 March 2022**
The Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital League of Friends is a standard registered charity having registered on 17th May 1974, No. 503004. Its registered address is 40-42 High Street, Holbeach, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE12 7DY.
The charity is also known as the "League of Friends" locally.
## **Objectives, achievements and financial review**
The objective of the charity is to relieve patients and former patients of the Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped, infirm or in need of financial assistance and generally to support the charitable work of the aforementioned charity.
The charity operates a shop within the town of Holbeach to fund its charitable activities. The charity principally donates fixed assets to the Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust and supplies other minor services including entertainment and provision of birthday and Christmas presents to the patients of the Trust.
During the year, the charity donated £31,954 (2021 - £8,265) in fixed assets to the Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust. Full details of donated fixed assets can be found in note 2 to the accounts.
As at 31 March 2022, the current account amounted to £71,479 and no funds have been left in the savings account due to extremely low interest rates.
Thus far, in respect of the Hospital, we have promised to fund the purchase of two baths which were installed May 2022 . We are also planning to provide funding towards the landscaping of the flower beds outside of the Anne Waltham Unit together with low maintenance shrubs and plants.
The hospital plans to renovate Lounge 1 and will install bi-fold doors onto the Tingle Garden. The League of Friends will landscape the Tingle Garden to ensure that residents will be able to come into and enjoy the garden.
We have been very grateful for all volunteers for their hard work during the year. We have had some new volunteers come forward to work in our shop.
It is with thanks also to everyone who has either donated or purchased items so that we can continue to support Holbeach Hospital. The first full year of trading since the Covid Pandemic has created an excellent £48k for the charity and enabled us to donate the £32k to the Hospital within this year.
During the year, we received from South Holland District Council, a "start-up" grant of £2,667 which was used to purchase a new shed which will be used for storage of goods, i.e. seasonal items

**Trustees' Annual Report (continued)**
**for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **Risk management**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular these related to the management of its investments and finances and are satisfied that the systems in place sufficiently manage its exposure to these threats. The trustees have also developed strong working relationships with assisting bodies who are able to provide professional advice when required.
## **Going concern and Covid-19**
The shop, as with many similar environments was required to close during the Covid-19 Pandemic but it has since recovered extremely well. There are reserves available for distribution and the trustees will continue to push forward and maintain the vital status of the charity for the good of the Hospital.
