improving patient experience, and funding both the 'liltle things" thal make a big
difference and the major campaigns that help shape our future.
Although the year has brought challenges. l am oplimistic. With clear priorities.
slrong relalionships and a refreshed focus, I believe the year ahead can bring real

equipment to supporting patient care and staff wellbeing. donations and fundraising
efforts are making a lasting differen￿.
One of the standout moments of this year was seeing one of our ward managers take
on an incredible 54k ultra-marathon to raise funds for our Stroke Ward at University
Hospital of North Durham. Their delermination and passion not only raised money but
also inspired so many others across the Trust.
Thanks lo our supporter's generosty, we were able to purchase handheld bladder
scanners for our community nursing teams - a vital piece of equipment thal is already
improving care and helping patients in their own homes.
CDDFT Charity plays a vital role in supporting our Trust's mission, to provide high-
quality, safe, compassionate and joined-up care, by funding projects and initiatives
that go beyond what the NHS alone can provide.
Fundraising activities help to create more comfortable and welcoming environments
for our patients; the Charity's work directly contributes to improving Ihe quality of care
we delNer every day.
Looking ahead to 2025-26, we are committed to growing the chaTity further- building
stronger partnerships, delivering more fundraising opportunities, and ensuring that
every pound raised goes where it is needed most.
On behalf of the charity leam, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us
this year. INhether through fundraising, volunteering, or donating, you are helping us
deliver real change and better care for Ihe people of County Durham and Darlington.

Charity buys scanners to benefit patients
Our patients are benefitting from new
portable bladder scanners that use
ultrasound to instantly investigate
common bladder problem - in a
community clinic or needs be from the
patient's home.
These three new portable scanners,
along with those we already have
mean our team of nurses can see and
assess patients quickly once a referfal
has been received - often from a GP
or other health professional.
Withoul a scan, the only way to check if the patient's bladder is empty is to inserl a
catheter and see if any urine drains. As with any invasive procedure, this carries
risks and can also be uncomfortable.
Portable scanners use uftrasound to instantly show whether or not the patient's
bladder is empty. Patients are both amazed and delighted how quick and easy it is,
often putting to rest any fears.

demonstraling impact, inspiring donations, and building a stronger sense of
ommunrty around the charily.

Supportlng the workforce
This year: CDDFT Charily continued to place a strong focus on supporling the
Trust's workforce thiough a range of iniliatives aimed at boosting staff morale and
wellbeing.
One such iniliative was the popular"12 Days of Christmas" prize draws, where staff
members had the Chan￿ to win excrting prizes kindly donaled by local businesses
during the festive season.
This initiative, alongside other staff support aclivities, highlights the Charity's ongoing
commitment to showing appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the Trust's
employees. ensuring they feel valued and supported throughout the year.
Risk Management
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and systems
put in Pla￿ in mitigalion.
The major external risk to which the Charity is exposed is a sudden fall in the value
of the investment portfolio, as occurred on more than one occasion Sin￿ 2000.
However. the Corporate Trustee invests over the longer tetm lo ensure that the
greatest returns are achieved.
Evidence of financial performance over any 20-year period in the last century is that
some exposure to a wide range of equity-based investments will add value in
comparison to a purely narrow-range. fixed-interest based portfolio.
To mitigate the exposure lo risk in this area the Charity has adopted an inveslment
policy that seeks to achieve a balance between capital growth and income
generalion by using a range of investment vehicles.

The UK equity investmenls are geneially constituents of the FTSE 100 Index. There

Charity Team
In January 2025, the Charity Team welcomed a new manager to Ihe role. H￿￿ on
the agenda, was an appraisal of the operations and the governan￿ sel over the
charity. to ensure that it was fit-for-purpose and that the CDDFT Charity operales
with the highest standards of accountability. transparency, and aC￿Ssibl11ty. The
charity went through a period of 'change' to arrive to a desired state where il had a
modernised governan￿ framework that not only meels all regulatory requirements
but also makes il easier for staff. volunteers. and supporters to engage wilh the
charity's work. Out of this review came several work-streams which in some cases
required urgent attention and in otheis, a rethink of how we ensure the future viability
of Ihe Charity.
Key achievements Ihis year include:
Updated Governance Structures - streamlining decision-making processes,
clarifying roles and responsibilities, and strenglhening oversight by Ihe Board
of Trustees.
Modernised Pollcies and Procedures - al￿ning with best practice
standards across finance, fundraising, safeguarding, dala protection, and
volunteer management.
Accessibility Improvements - ensuring policies are clearer, more user-
friendly. and readily available in digital formats for staff and supporters.
Transparency and Accountability - adopting a more open approach to
sharing information, progress, and impact with stakeholders.
Future-Proofing - building flexible systems that can adapt to new
opportunities, technologies, and ways of working
Strategic Change
Previously, the charity had relied almost exclusively on generous donations from Ihe
local community. which ensured income was consistent and at a level where we
could deliver the services and support for our patients and slaff. However, due to
re￿nt economic instability, the charty has seen a decrease in community donations
limiting our impact in providing support. Vvhilst we are extremely grateful for the
continuing gifts from our supporters. we are now also wotking hard to engage wilh
medium to large corporate organisalions who can help our drive lo provide
transformational care.
Corporate Partners
A review of the existing list of Corporale Partners showed that the relationships were
not as strong as they could be, and engagement had waned in the previous years. A
significant workstream was to identify those organisations we could fe-engage with
Together, we care.

and targeling pathways to facililate our networking activities. Relationship
management to retain those partners
Plans to engage with Corporate Partners=
NECC - Renewing membership of the North East Chambers of Commeice
(NECC). Grealer presence at events and meetings.
Fundraisers - Building fundraisers for specific equipment, using them as a
draw for partnerships.
Open Days - Open Days with invites for Corporate Partners to demonstrate
our capabilities and service as a Trust.
Currently, we have relained 4 of our Corporate Partners and using the Open Days lo
attract more to join us.
Events and Networking
A full evaluation of our event activity was conducted and the viability of hosting and
managing events. Given the small size of the team and Ihe man-hours required to
plan, organise. and manage events. it was decided thal the more sustainable route
would be to invrte fundraisers to join in on already planned events as opposed to us
hosting them. This proved effective with the Greal North Run 2025, which was
organised solely by Charities Togethei, leaving the team to concenlrate on
managing the runners.
Away from the NECC activities. the team continued with networking and community
activities, holding and Afternoon Tea event and the Easter Egg run. We also
increased our presence at business netwotk meetings. raising awareness of Ihe
harity and the Trust.
