HOLBEACH AND EAST ELLOE HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025 The trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, set out on pages 5 to 8, which have been prepared on a consistent Receipts and Payments basis. The Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital League of Friends is a standard registered charity in England and Wales. having registered on 1tth May 1974 with the number 503004. 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. The shop income has remained static. in line with Last year. As of 31 March 2025, the current account amounted to £38,518 and held £25,970 in a savings account. We also held £2,112 in terms of cash not banked at the year end and a cash float for the shop. During the year £24k was given in gifts to Holbeach Hospital. which included hoists, beds, televisions, and upgrading the hairdressing salon. We have continued to provide birthday and Christmas gifts to the residents. We have continued to provide prizes for the bingo sessions run by the hospital. The running costs for the shop have increased by £5.200 against Last year. This is due to several factors, nameLy, the National Living Wage increase. the manageress having to cover shifts not covered by volunteers. the rise in heating and lighting costs, new sheLving and a new till and mileage costs to collect donations. We are very grateful for alL ourvolunteers forthe tireless effort in the shop duringthe year and the Trustees were pleased to provide a Christmas meal to thank them for their hard work. We also wish to offer our thanks, once again, to everyone who has either donated or purchased items so that we may continue to support Holbeach Hospital and keep it operating in the locaL area. We continue to actively look to recruit new volunteers. Structure, Governance and Management At the AGM in August 2024, the eLected officers were: Valerie Sandall as Chair, Eileen Ambrose as Vice Chair, Susan Inns as Treasurer and Dorothy ELlerbroek as Minute Secretary.

The use of a customer to purchase many of our-rags- has also proven to be invaluable.
