# **KNIGHTON HOSPITAL & COMMUNITY LEAGUE OF FRIENDS** 

## **Registration No: 504349** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JUNE 2022 to 31 May 2023** 

## Objectives and Activities 

The charity’s objects are: 

To support patients and former patients of the Knighton Hospital and others in the community who are ill or convalescing and people with disabilities (mental, physical or emotional) or in the need of assistance by: 

- Raising funds and receiving donations from any person or organisation 

- Supplementing the service provided by Knighton Hospital for the health, welfare and comfort of the patients therein and other sick (mentally, physically or emotionally) people in the community by the provision of facilities, buildings and equipment 

- To do all such things as are necessary for the attainment of the above Objects. 

## Achievements during the year 2022-2023 

With the closure of the inpatient ward of Knighton Hospital in early 2020 due to lack of qualified staff, no large projects have been identified by the Trustees for funding during this period. However, the following grants were made: 

- New Linen for Cottage View 

- New furniture and Window Blinds for Birth Unit at Knighton Hospital 

- Replacement Televisions for Cottage View 

- Xmas gifts for Cottage View and East Radnorshire Day Centre 

Discussions commenced with managers at Knighton Hospital looking at possible future projects which the League might help to fund. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Charity has no formal reserves policy as at present there are no ongoing regular financial liabilities and no staff to pay. 

## Income and Investment 

The Charity relies on donations and legacies for its income and during this year there was a significant legacy received. The Charity’s funds are invested in 



appropriate savings accounts – a mixture of fixed bonds, 30-day notice funds and a current account. No more than £85,000 is invested with any one organisation. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

The Charity has adopted a model of constitution from the Charity Commission. 

Trustees: Mrs R Brick Chair and Trustee (stepped down September 2022) Mrs G S Wilson Chair and Trustee (appointed September 2022) Mr G Trew Trustee Mr R Lewis Trustee Rev C M K Hargraves Treasurer, Secretary and Trustee
