It remains well supported by staff, patients and local people and has worked rlosely with the BHT to delivcr a number of worthwhile p)jectS. A priority this ye&r was to find a ncw Chair to lead the charity forward and to replace the Qurrenl Chair who has been in place since 2014. MAnAg¢ment of cliarlty SIX bi-monthly board meetings were held during 2024-2025. The board of irustee5 takes great plUre in announcing that Nicola Oilham has agre¢d to join the Iruslee5 as Chair of the board in July 2025. Nicola brings an immense experience of charity work And an understanding of the BHT. She is also a resident in BuGkinghamshire. Nicola steps down in August 2025 as a non-executiv¢ director of the Bll'f board and as Chair of the hospital ch&rity* roles she has held for the last 6 years. Dr Watson will remain a truslee in order to ensure 8 $mooih tra81t10ft and offer guidance and support to the new Chalr. She will also continue some of her present administi?tiv¢ roles for the lime beiiig (banking Qh, assisting with fundraising and thank you letters and monitr)ring and responding to the corttact email). Dr Catherine Hildyard, haematology ¢onsult8nl, joined the trustees this ye4r, taking the place of Dr Joe Browning who has left th¢ hospital. She was warnily wclcorn¢d. A5 one of the younger generation of medical staff sh¢ will be able to support the charity into the futur¢ and ensure ils relevance in the coming yea. The longstanding CCHF volunteer Susan Hamian has stepped down as minutes secretw for the trustees, Meetings but retains her rolc in providing secretarial support for fundrnising, collecting and recording donations, writing thank you letter5 and communicating with h05Pltal staff about charitable acfivities. Thi5 r¢r(Lains vital work. Her duties supp()rting the truste¢s' mc¢tings have been replaced by a se¢r¢tary who is PTepared to expand her rol¢ as needed to provide additional support to the new Chair. Chris Lowe, and the staff of his rim, Camfield Chaprnan Lowe Limited, Chartered A¢¢ounlants, continue to provide an annual finan¢i81 examination of the ¢harity, free of charge. H¢ also &ttends Iruslees, meetings and generously shares his experien and expertise with the board. Grateful thanks go to all of them. Fundraising Tbe CCHF continues to attract gencrous support from patients, their families and friends and from the wider locfil community. This provides the backbone to CCHF fundraising. with a continuous stseam of ev¢nts throughout the year providing a steady income as well as raising awaneSS of the charity. The charity is very grnteful for the 5UPPOrt and contribution of staff to th¢ fundraising. The receptÈon and oulpalients staff both organi5e fundraising events ihemselves but support the running of the chwity in practical ways. The su¢ce5s of the CCHF is in big part a refleGtion of tbe rcspeGt and gratitude the local populalion has for the hospilal staff and their wish to show thanks and support for their work. Page I
CANCER CARE AND HAEMATOLOGY FUND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES eont'd FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sr MARCH 2025 Fundrfilslng ¢ont>d CCHF is graleful for all the futsds that it has irc¢ived during the year - through partnerships, community fijndraiging a¢tivities and the generosity of families, individuals and staff members - without which it could not deliver the projecl set out below, and many other addltional services to ensure ihe enhanced care to our patients receiving cancer and haematolo8y care across BHT. The Charity has continued several successful partnerships with loo&1 organisations and businesses, developed from last y¢ai'. Mccorniick, a local Gompany and major employer in the area, had donated a total of £4,700 by the end of their partnership with the CCHF. This was raised principally ihough their innovativ¢ safety awareness programme. Aylesbury Pool League raised £5,000 at toumaments throughout the year. This was topped up by a £9,750 donation from R H Amar. a local firni well known for thelr philanthropy and with a personal connection lo the APL. The CCIIF was chosen by the pupils them5elv¢s at Magdalen School Oxford to be their charity partner for the School year Sepiember 2023 through to July 2024. They rnised a total of £6,132 throughout the y¢ar with variety of imagin74live initiatives. The trustees were pleased to be able to attend a number of fun¢lions at the school, thereby raising awareness among the pupils of th¢ valuable work don¢ by th¢ ¢hai'itable sector. John (Alvin Printwhi8tle) and Yvonne Prieg continue iheir faithful support of CCHF and presented the charity with £18,000 in October 2024, raised over th¢ previous two years. This brought their total sinco 2015 to nearly £ioo,000, The CCHF received onc substantial legacy this year of £IO.000, donated by a forn]er patient in gratitude for the treatmcnt she received fK)m the hospital. Fuiiding of Projects A project that had been funded in the previous financial year, started in April 2024, os the hospital took delivery, by lorry and cran¢, of a modular building funded by the CCHF whi¢h h&s been positioned adjacent the Can¢¢r C8re and Ha¢matology Unit (CCHU) ai Stoke Mandeville Hospital (SMH). This now provides tranquil accommodation for the Cancer Information and Wellbeing Team, ¢lose to, but apart from, the busy ¢lini¢al area. Installation of ihe building was complex given the tight constrdints of ihe site and required close working between Ihe contractors, the hospital estates department and the charity. The CCHF is very graleful for the work and patience of all involved. The 'pod' finally coniplcled and opened for business in September 2024 and has proveAI extremely popular with staff and patients. (£128,500) CCHF funded 8 replacement programme for all the spI?11Sed reclin¢r ¢hair5 which w¢re no longer fit for pui'pose in the ou¢pfiticnt ch¢moth¢rapy areas of the CCHU and the Sunrise unit at Wycombe Hospital. In total, 32 Chairs were purchased. (£41,000) Scalp cooling equipmenrt, made available, where appropriate, for palients undergoing chgmotherapy in ol'der to mittimise hair loss, is not funded by th¢ NHS but has always been funded in BErr by the CCHF. Extra units had beci)me necessary because of rising patient numbers. (£19,000) The CCHF corAtinues to fund the wig service (£30,OOO/year) 'C&ncer Information and Well Being, team: The CCHF provides additional support lo the valuable NHS funded information and wellbeing service of up to £50001year. This is mainly used to cover the cost of running cancer support services and courses in the community (tDom hire etc). In dItIOn, the CCHF funded training wurses foi. two niembers of the toam. (£2,600) Replacement TVS were purchased for the isolation rooms in tbe haematology ward. (£3,200) A number of future projects are under discussion with the hospital.
