Our charity has witnessed a significant increase in donations this year from families of patients and from local community groups. Our main focus this year has been to support those who have fundraised on our behalf by affording them maximum publicity at local level. Having the opportunity to present their donations to the clinical team at Withybush Hospitsl has also added value to their fundraising on our behalf. We have continued to work closely with our informal partner (Macmillan Cancer Support advisers) to help individual patients identified by the nursing team who may be struggling with financial challenges due to their illness. This work has continued throughout the year and we continue to receive direct and anecdotsl evidence that our Patient Support Grant scheme has reduced some of the stress faced by the patients in overcoming the increase costs of heating and travel to access their treatments. We remain committed to enabling those clinical team members wishing to increase personal skills and knowledge who cannot gain financial support from the local health board. The results confirm that the clinical team members have benefitted with greater awareness, confidence and knowledge which can be shared within the team. During the year our trustees agreed to support an innovative three month pilot projett which has addressed the emotive subject of hair loss as a result of chemotherapy. The projett has been delivered at Withybush Hospitsl by Cancer Hair Care who were contracted to the local health board. The project has consisted of nursing team training and dirett interface with patients who are going through their treatrnent at Withybush Hospital. Following a very positive stsff and patient evaluation of the pilot we have agreed to support a two year programme of support which began in February 2024. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) In every discussion held by the Trustees the overriding focus has been to ensure that all spending approved by our charity seeks to maximise public benefit.
