## Trustees Report
## 2022-2023
On behalf of the Trustees, I am pleased to report that we have had another successful year with business at our local Charity shop continuing to improve. After Covid it took quite some time for us to build the customer base and we feel pleased that we were able to keep our shop open during this difficult time.
We are very grateful to the customers as well as all of the public who donate to our cause. As in previous years we have found that people enjoy popping into the shop, as they may be lonely or newly bereaved. They all benefit from informal conversations and enjoy the company of the volunteers. This is in line with the desire for the Great Yarmouth area to be part of the Compassionate Community. We feel well established and embedded in the community and therefore we see people coming back time and time again.
As the Chair I have given several talks to local organisations about our charity, and our desires for the future, all of which have been received enthusiastically. Regarding our plans for the future, we have met on numerous occasions with St Elizabeth Hospice and have entered into a dialogue with them to establish how we might work together, to better serve the people of Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
These talks have been very positive with exciting prospects which we hope to move forward in the coming year. I have become a member of the Hospice Engagement Group at St Elizabeth Hospice which has seen me attending bi-monthly meetings throughout the year.
It is hoped that we can also work with Eastcoast Community Healthcare to enhance the provision of End-of-Life care in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. The Trust has sort to gain the advice of many eminent professionals in the field of palliative and end of life care, to ensure that we are moving in the right direction.
I have been involved in a variety of research projects regarding end-of-life care issues including a study by Dr Anna Spathis Consultant in Palliative care, looking at an intervention which would help patients and their carers better understand and deal with breathlessness. I have worked with Simon Etkind Professor of Palliative Care at the University of Cambridge. His research studied the effects of uncertainty on patients approaching end of life, and family members who were caring for them.
I was honoured to be part of a research project by Morag Farquhar Professor of Palliative Care Research at the UEA which will study the effects on carers of having a dedicated carer’s nurse to care for them. The pilot for this would take place in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. Lastly, I was involved in a study with Dr Ben Bowers Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Jesus College Cambridge researching the issues involved with anticipatory prescribing. All of this work has
given me the opportunity to provide insight into the needs and wants of palliative patients and their carers, as we look towards our future involvement with agencies caring for such people.
We anticipate and look forward to a busy year ahead, as we seek to work more actively with St Elizabeth Hospice and East Coast Community Healthcare for the benefit of the people of Great Yarmouth and Waveney
