Section C Objectives and activities

To promote activities that have a proven beneficial effect on health for people living within the borough of Milton Keynes and the surrounding Summary of the objects of the areas who have an established diagnosis of heart disease and/or charity set out in its cardiopulmonary disease, by providing facilities for condition-specific governing document monitored exercise in a safe, friendly and supportive environment, so that members may continue to live independent lives.

This year has been a year of celebration and progression. Our volunteers have been the recipients of the King’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award that a group of volunteers can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.

The announcement of the award was made by the Palace on the King’s birthday in November 2024. We held a celebratory event in June 2025. At this event we were delighted to receive the KAVS from the Countess Howe, the Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire. It was in the form of a piece of cut-glass crystal appropriately engraved. In addition, she presented the group with a certificate and each volunteer with a lapel badge. In her speech the Countess Howe was generous with her praise for the volunteers and she spoke warmly about the work of the trustees and staff. The celebrations didn’t end there. Two of our volunteers represented the group at a garden party at Buckingham Palace. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the The number of members has increased during the year. The new self- public benefit in relation to referral pathway to membership and the rise in our profile, due to the these objects (include within KAVS, I would suggest, are two of a number of reasons for our success this section the statutory with recruitment. declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance Our Treasurer and Secretary are both flourishing in their relatively new issued by the Charity roles and we now have a Vice Chair. This position had not been filled for Commission on public a number of years so I’m grateful to Rev Jim Gorringe for stepping into benefit) this role. Following a thorough review of our practices, our Treasurer has brought in a number of important changes. I must pay tribute to him not only for his review and proposals for change, but also for the patient and clear way that he has helped the trustees to understand the new procedures. The annual review of staff remuneration took place in February. The Management Committee took into account the high standard of work carried out by the staff, the resources of the group and the rate of inflation in making the decision to award a 4.1% rise in salary. This change took effect from 1[st] April 2025. There have also been changes to the procedures for calculating holiday and sick pay. Our two long-standing contracts with the local Integrated Care Board for transition courses continue. These are both a significant source of income and important as our traditional pathway to membership.

The membership fee has remained fixed during this period at £350 a year for fifty condition-specific, monitored exercise sessions delivered by appropriately qualified staff. This represents very good better value and makes membership accessible. The group has continued its outreach work. Volunteers have attended a number of Wellbeing events including those organised by Bletchley Pathfinders, a nearby retirement village and a local church. This type of event helps with community networking and enables us to both disseminate information about our group, and to meet others. As we look to next year our main challenge is to continue to make our very special group assessable to as many people as possible who can benefit from the service that we provide. The undoubted success of MKCCG is down to the hard work of its staff and volunteers

Section D	Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Section E Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves	Two longstanding volunteers attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace as part of the celebrations of the award of the KAVS. One young volunteer has taken up a place at medical school to study to be a doctor. Donations rose by 84% to over £7,700. One example, a young man came to MKCCG in need of confidence and after 6wks left feeling able to climb the three peaks to raise funds for our charity. Membership continues to rise and now stands at 322 We received a grant to subsidise 20 x 6 month memberships for residents of Bletchley
