Medserve Trustees Report 2023-24
2023/24 has been another successful year for Medserve Wales having responded to over 360 call outs in the last 12 months. Geographically we continue to operate predominantly in the Cardiff to Swansea corridor, however there have been responses as far west as Pembrokeshire and as far north as Monmouthshire. This year has seen Medserve Wales responders attend a number incidents and the Trustees would like to say a huge well done and thank you to everyone involved for their hard work and professionalism.
The Medserve Wales team continues to thrive, there have been no retirements and the team will recruit again in the 2024/25 year.
As we move forward we would like to express our thanks and gratitude to Sian Guest who has stepped down as a Trustee. Sian was Chair of Trustees for a number of years and has been a driving force in the success of the annual black tie ball, we wish her the very best in the future.
A thank you to Dr Matt Creed for running the Medserve Wales accounts over the last year and to Sian Guest for running another wonderful black tie ball in 2023, £7,307.81 raised! Thank you Matt Church for organising and participating in your November 2023 Sahara trek that raised £10,018.06 and the rugby world cup charity quiz and for all the events you have planned over 24/25. These fundraising events provide essential funds needed to keep the charity running. Everyone’s support at events is appreciated.
MedServe has garnered some much needed media coverage over the last year, highlighting the wonderful work that is undertaken and increasing its profile across South Wales. Over the next year we will try and capitalise on this to increase our fundraising.
With the loss of Sian Guest this year as a Trustee, the Trustees are actively looking for a couple of pro-active individuals to join us. As Trustees, we again will commit to identifying how best we can support the valuable work that all responders are undertaking.
Dr Matt Creeds Treasury Report is an important document, we accept the advice/recommendations that he has passed to the trustees.
MedServe received £16,000 from the BASICS/HELP appeal, this was used to replace key items of Electromedical equipment (cables and batteries for solo responders) and purchase new Butterfly ultrasound devices.
We continue to look for an individual who can support us with grant applications.
This year we have closed the old charity(no. 1039032) that had been governed by Corporate Law and set a new one up as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation(no. 1207666). The new structure is governed by Charity Law rather than Corporate Law and limits the liability of the trustees.
Once again many thanks to all the volunteers within Medserve Wales and the wonderful work that you do. Your efforts help to change families lives on a daily basis, you should all be very proud of what you achieve. We the Trustees are grateful for the time that you commit and look forward to supporting you over the next 12 months as Medserve Wales grows from strength to strength.
John Solosy Trustee on behalf of the Chair of Trustees, MEDSERVE Wales
