of Cranleigh Village Hospital (Registered number: 06075390)

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities
The Charity's objective is to support the work of the Cranleigh Village Hospital and the Cranleigh Medical Practice by voluntary service and / or the provision of funds by way of grants for specific items, as set out in the Charity's Objects and Rules. The Trustees consider that these objectives comply with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Public benefit
The benefit of the charity's work are the provision of medical equipment and amenities available to all those receiving nursing and medical care in Cranleigh.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Charity continued to make grants and generate income which supported the activities of the Cranleigh village medical community.

Investment performance
Interest rates on cash balances improved over last year with access to rising market rates.

Rathbones Investment Management continue to manage investments on a Discretionary basis with a brief of providing income with a cautious approach consistent with growth potential. All investment activities are monitored by the board.

The investment performance this year yielded income of £86,612 compared to £68,619 last year, with dividends rising by £9,224 and interest rising by £8,769.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income generation
The Charity's gross unrestricted income for the year was £117,426, a decrease compared to £196,480 last year, arising from a fall in legacy receipt against rising investment returns. The Trustees thank all the Charity's supporters for their work and generosity throughout the year.

Investment policy and objectives
The board is responsible for the Charity's Investment policy. The Trustees have appointed Rathbones Investment Management to manage investments on a discretionary basis with a cautious approach to risk, with a view to maintaining income and keeping asset values ahead of inflation. Investment activities are monitored by the board and reviewed at the Trustees' regular meetings.

Reserves policy
The Charity has no restricted reserves but the Officers and Trustees regularly consider this bearing in mind the nature of the income and expenditure where possible and the need to match the cost of further equipment requested by the existing hospital, day centre and medical practice against the need to build up funds to support any new enlarged hospital and clinics.

Grant expenditure
Grants were made during the year totalling £73,795 compared to £74,816 last year, which includes regular donations for End of Life Care as further detailed in note 4 on page 10.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024

FUTURE PLANS
Over the past few years we have spent significant funds on establishing the new Radiography Department, ontributed to the now well established Maternity and Early Years Hub, as well as the Orthopaedics Department, and continued renovation and improved facilities for patients and staff of the Outpatients areas. This year we have funded the refitting of more consulting space together with upgraded furniture and we are pursuing even more services coming to Cranleigh with the encouragement of our MP.

We have continued to provide financial support for the Medical Practice to enhance the patient experience and agreed to continue our support for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice at Home, which augments the cover provided in the Cranleigh area.

Having funded several defibrillators placed around the village we continue to cooperate with the Lions in their maintenance.

Current ongoing commitments can be met from investment income arising from our portfolio managed by Rathbones Investment Management which continues to return a satisfactory yield with appreciable capital appreciation exceeding industry comparators. To spread risk, a proportionate amount of cash is still held in both instant access and term accounts, and we continually consider ways to maximise our income from deposits.

Our substantial funds will enable us to continue our long-standing remit to support the work and patients of the medical facilities in Cranleigh and district.While there are no current plans for expansion of the Radiography Department, our ambitions in this area would involve substantial expenditure which could involve a fundraising exercise.To this end we are implementing plans to widen our recognition within the community with an improved website and communications.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
The League of Friends
of Cranleigh Village Hospital

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The League of Friends of Cranleigh Village Hospital ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable charity, which is a public benefit entity, have been prepared 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) (2nd edition, effective January 2019), "Charities SORP" and Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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 and irrecoverable vat
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. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

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.

Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transactions value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Fund accounting
Funds held by the Charity are all unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.

Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Fixed asset investments
All fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date.
