TRUSTEES' REPORT

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was raising funds to support NHS workers .
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Charitable Purposes:
“Promote and protect the mental and physical wellbeing and health of NHS workers through the provision of facilities or service, conferences and events for the benefit of NHS workers”
Introduction: When we began this charity, we could never have predicted the unprecedented impact on NHS staff in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We feel that the UK ‘woke up' and realised how incredible our NHS is and set about thanking staff as we have been doing since our conception. As a board, this has been very heartwarming to see, however the need to thank and support NHS staff really is, greater than ever. Although we have had to cancel most of our planned activities for 2020, we have still been able to thank and support NHS workers in different ways. We carried out one ‘Time-out' day in January 2020 and started the Cakeathon again and quickly stopped it in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Activities:
We have been in contact with approximately 1,500 NHS staff members since December 2019 – December 2020 through our activities. These activities have mostly included sending gifts and thank you cards to staff (via delivery companies – not in person). We are proud that we have sent gifts of thanks and recognition all around the UK:
-
ICU Ward, Manchester Royal Infirmary
-
Rainforest Ward, Lincoln County Hospital
-
Community Midwives, Essex.
-

Gifts were also sent to 5 specific Leaders in the NHS in Scotland and Wales also with a book and COSTA gift card to encourage them to take time out for themselves.
We initiated the ‘You heard us clap – we've got your back' campaign in April 2020 which was a direct result of the ‘clap for carers', which occurred every Thursday night. We had an excellent response and we still have these funds ready to be used in 2022 when it is safe to re-commence our face-to-face activities.
There has been such an impact on parents working for the NHS during this pandemic. In July 2020, we partnered with a local Lincolnshire farm and bought 70 £15 day trip vouchers to local Rand Farm for NHS staff members. This was to provide an opportunity for NHS staff to spend time with their children after working so hard during the pandemic.
Due to the work of the charity, we had some welcome media attention and Beth Hutton (our founder and CEO) was interviewed by Zoe Ball on radio 2 on 13th April 2020. This sparked a lot of interest in the charity and increased donations also. We had several people from around the UK get in touch with HOTHS offering their services to help our future activities. An example of this is a school catering manager from Axminster School who decided to cook lunches for hospital staff and deliver them for staff. This was a brilliant partnership and was excellent to see others grasp the concept of doing something practical to thank NHS staff.
Staffing:
HOTHS employs Beth Hutton (CEO/Founder) to administrate and run the charity day to day. Beth is responsible for the running of the charity. Beth works flexibly for HOTHS and some weeks there are more hours worked than others depending on the activities. During the pandemic, Beth has returned to work for the NHS and joined via the ‘COVID-19 register' as an Occupational Therapist to help NHS staff. She began working for Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in September 2020 as an Occupational Therapist within the Staff Wellbeing service. Beth declared a potential conflict of interest with her NHS employers and is open and transparent about the work of the charity.
Governance:
HOTHS has a very experienced board of trustees who hold Beth to account for the charities activities, finances, accounts and time worked for the charity. The last board meeting was May 2020.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Summary:
In 2019-2020, we have adapted and have still met our charitable objectives. We have done what we can with the COVID-19 restrictions in place and encouraged others to do so also. We are proud of what we have achieved and would welcome anyone to follow us on social media to keep up to date with all that we do.
We are very keen to start our main charity activities again including the Thank you Dinners, Cakeathon and Time Out days, however we will not rush restarting these until it is safe to do so due to the pandemic.
