Year ended 30 September 2020

Objectives and activities

The object of the Charity is to support former patients of the hospital and other members of the community who are unwell, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or infirm, including those with social needs. To undertake charitable work to support the Patrick Stead Hospital and other facilities on the site, as well as other local health related groups.

Since the closure of the inpatient beds at Patrick Stead in April 2017, the Charity continues to respond to requests from Cutlers Hill Surgery, Halesworth dementia Carers' Fund, Halesworth Community Nursing Care Fund, Halesworth Health and any local health related charity.

It meets these objectives by:

i) Receiving financial donations (typically gifts in memory of loved ones, bequests under wills, donations from individuals and various organisations in the locality and proceeds of fundraising events held by local clubs and societies).

ii) Running some fundraising events during the year, organised by Trustees and Members.

iii) Acting as fiduciary for all monies raised and entrusted to it.

iv) Considering requests from all health-related groups for equipment, supplies and, if approved by trustees, donating the requisite funds.

v) Identifying and supporting new projects to improve the health and social care services provided for people living in Halesworth and the surrounding area.

Since 1997 there has been a general agreement with the Great Yarmouth and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group covering all equipment purchased by the League. They provide that the League of Friends be fully consulted regarding the disposal of any piece of equipment should it no longer be required at the Patrick Stead Hospital, Rayner Green Resource Centre or Cutlers Hill Surgery.

After the closure of the beds at PSH and discussion with East Coast Community Healthcare (ECCH) as outgoing provider of services at the Patrick Stead Hospital, it was agreed that a donation be made to the League for the beds and various items of furniture that could be utilised at Beccles Hospital, by ECCH.

All other items remaining at the Patrick Stead remain the property of the League and will remain in situ while the hospital is still in use for Phlebotomy and various out-patient clinics, as well as user groups in the Garden Room.

Public Benefit

The beneficiaries of the Charity's activities are the users of health related services provided for people residing throughout Halesworth and the surrounding towns and villages and organisations whose objectives fall within the Charity's own.

The Charity is in regular communication with the CCG, ECCH and staff members to ensure that the needs of patients in the Halesworth area are supported where possible by the resources made available through the Charity.

Through the Charity's fundraising events and media publicity it comes into regular contact with the wider community to promote the need to support local healthcare.

Achievements and performance

This year has certainly been one like no other, with the Covid 19 pandemic hitting half way through our financial year. As a charity we have had to adapt to this, obviously not being able to meet face to face for some time and carrying out our work and discussions through emails.

Following serious consideration and discussion into purchasing the old Methodist Church, as a suitable building to convert into an appropriate setting to provide a social day care service to replace the service previously lost at Rayner Green Resource Centre, trustees decided that this was an ideal opportunity. We have put in an offer which has been accepted by the Methodist Church trustees and the purchase is progressing. However, things have been considerably delayed due to Covid 19 and we are still waiting for the sale.

Our plans include building onto the back of the existing building creating office space to let, which will ensure sustainability and cover the running costs of the building. We have identified a potential tenant, another local charity, who we are working closely with. The building will have a new fully fitted kitchen and will provide a community space for use when the day centre is not running at the weekend.

This exciting new project is in line with and meets the charity's objectives and activities by replacing the Rayner Green Resource Centre closed by the CCG, supporting those with social care needs. The League of Friends will in future continue to support the work of the Patrick Stead Hospital while it remains open for phlebotomy and outpatient clinics. Also, Cutlers Hill Surgery and others in the community.

Trustees are currently in the process of converting the charity into a CIO and changing the name of the charity to Friends of Halesworth Community Health and Care, to better reflect the role of the charity within the community.

The LoF have made two donations of £1,000 each to Halesworth Volunteer Centre and Halesworth Dementia Carers' Fund for the outstanding work both charities carried out, supporting the local community throughout the pandemic.

We were also pleased to fund a request from Halesworth Community Sports & Leisure and Halesworth Angel Bowls Club for a new defibrillator, which has been positioned on the Dairy Hill sports complex and is accessible to all. In addition to this we have provided 4 sets of ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes for use at Cutlers Hill Surgery.

It has been good that the PSH continues to provide a regular venue for Phlebotomy. A big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers provided by Halesworth Volunteer Centre that enables this essential service to continue in Halesworth from the PSH.

We continue to carefully assess any requests to put to our members for funding, as well as identifying other health related projects to support.

Financial review

The Charity's principle sources of funding during the year were donations, rental income and fundraising income. The Charity received two legacy donations of £237,179 and £79,185. The net incoming resources for the year amounted to £317,693 (2019: outgoing resources of £75,035).

The Charity's unrestricted net current assets at 30 September 2020 were £1,026,553 (2019: £708,692). Of these unrestricted net current assets, no amounts have been designated by the trustees.

Reserves Policy

The Charity's reserves are more than enough to meet any committed expenditure in the coming year, but this should be reviewed by the Trustees regularly and again during the year ended 30 September 2021, especially in light of our commitment to the new Social Day Care project.

Financial review (continued)

Investment Policy

The Charity holds an investment property on which it receives rental income which was gifted to the Charity through a legacy. With future plans still currently very uncertain and our commitment to the new Halesworth Community Social Care Services project, trustees are still reluctant to tie up funds at this stage. The investment policy needs to be discussed again and updated by trustees during the year ended September 2021.

Plans for future periods

The charity has lots to consider moving forward. We are currently awaiting a legacy but once we are in receipt of it we will be looking to converting the charity into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, changing our name and looking at exactly how The League of Friends can best support health and care services in Halesworth and the surrounding area and amending our constitution accordingly.

We will be working to ensure the new Halesworth Community Social Care Services project is successful and we will continue to support the selected provider long term, gradually reducing support as and when appropriate.

We will continue to look to identifying other health related projects to support.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The League Of Friends Of Patrick Stead Hospital is registered with the Charity Commissioners and is governed by its Constitution dated 21 June 1988 which was amended on 22 November 1988, 27 May 1997, November 2006 and November 2013. A review of the Charity's Constitution by its members was conducted during the year to 30 September 2017 and the proposed revisions were adopted by the membership at the 2017 AGM in January 2018 and are to be lodged with the Charity Commission.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The Charity is administered by a Board of Trustees who have the power of appointing new Trustees. Trustees are appointed by majority vote where unanimity has not been achieved.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The League Of Friends Of Patrick Stead Hospital

Year ended 30 September 2020

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

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

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

The League Of Friends Of Patrick Stead Hospital

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The League Of Friends Of Patrick Stead Hospital (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2020

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.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
