GLOUCESTERSHIRE EYE THERAPY TRUST

Charity No: 1100501

Financial Year End 31/3/2025

Ref : AR25-REM-10g-1100501-G

The Gloucestershire Eye Therapy Trust exists to channel funds given by grateful patients and other supporters into equipment for the Eye Departments of Gloucestershire Hospitals that the NHS is unable to fund. This support keeps our Eye Department at the forefront of the care of eye related problems and can attract the best ophthalmologists to work here.

Between 2004 and 2020 GETT provided £1,212,706 for equipment and a donation for the refurbishment of the Eye Department Outpatient area at Cheltenham General Hospital. Since its inauguration in 1976 GETT has donated over £2 million for the Eye Departments of the Gloucestershire Hospitals.

The Eye Therapy Trust has seven Trustees and Dame Janet Trotter is our President. We have a Part time administrator but no paid employees. During the year one of our Trustees has died, but currently we are hoping to attract a replacement Trustee. We own no property and do not have specific policy documents. We do not cover safeguarding areas and do not work directly with the general public or patients. No serious incidents have been reported.

The current year covered by this report was quiet as far as purchases are concerned, but there wre a number of high value requests in the pipeline. These must be cleared by the Hospital Trust before procurement and our funding donation, can be advanced. However, we have funded two new banners for GETT for display at the two main eye departments in Cheltenham and Gloucester waiting areas. We have also donated towards a plaque to acknowledge our partial support for the refurbishment of the Outpatients at Cheltenham along with a donation from the Charles Irving Memorial Fund. Attachments for the DRV slit lamp used for training

ophthalmologists of the future were funded as well as two specialist treatment chairs. One of these was a top-up for an examination chair part funded by a private fund-raising exercise by a retired hospital worker. The other was funded urgently when a research chair became unusable, halting the research work that was not supported by NHS funds. We were also able to support the community outreach Diabetic Screening service that required a second clinic van. This unique service is part of Prof Peter Scanlon’s work around the county. All these donations are directly for the benefit of patients from Gloucestershire and beyond that has helped to keep the Gloucestershire Eye Departments at the forefront of Ophthalmology Care.

I submit this report on behalf of the Trustees of the Gloucestershire Eye Therapy Trust.
