Back On Track
Chairman's Report
As the Chair of the Charity, Back on Track. I would firstly like to take this opportunty of thanking the
Board. The long ￿ach of Covid disruption. along with the worldwide financial crisis. have meant that. yet
again, much of our planned fundraising has had to be postponed or curtailed. I know how frustrating it has
been for everyone who has spent so much of their tima and effort arranging events that have had to be
cancelled and I can only applaud their continuing efforts lo find new and varied ways to raise funds so that
we can continue with the important work of our Charity. Our biggesl disappointmenl this year was, on
again, having to cancel our Kart Racing Day. This has always been the backbone of our fundraising
events as Dr Khan and his wife. Lesley, were organizing this special get together for our vets before the
charity was even inaugurated. The vets look forward to this event probably more than any other event in
our calendar but we had to make the disappoinling decision to postpone it until next year partly because
the monles needed to set it up would leave us short of funds for the vital work of looking after our
beneficiaries, mental and physical health needs and partly because some of the Kart Racing Tracks have
h8d to close because of a combination of the pandemic and the global financial downturn. We d8cided to
put all our fundraising efforts into our Ball on 25th November 2023, which we held at the Intercontinentsl
Hotel in London. This would mean thal we would have enough funds to care for our veterans during the
year and Ihe hope that Ihe monies raised from our Ball would allow us to bring back our Kart Racing Day
In 2024.
Le8ving aslde the financlal aspecls of the year we have nevertheless managed to ensure that our
beneficiarles have been looked after throughout the year. Dr Khan and hls medical team have remain8d
steadfasl in their commitment to helping our veterans and Dr Khan and Lesley Reynolds Khan have, yet
again. allowed us the use of their respected clinic and their talenled slaff, without any charge to our
Charity. We also need to thank Mary Griffiths for all the counselling she provides to the beneficiaries who
need her help as so many of them tell us how much invaluable guidance has helped them. Paula Hall
remains the day-lo-day contact for our beneficiaries and they know that she is always al hand with a kind
word of advice and the willingness to deal with any of their problems as quickly and efficiently as needed.
Melanie Faldo and Lesley Reynolds Khan use their wonderful 'little black books, to drum up celebrity
assistance (which is always so willingly given) and errange for as much celebrity support possible for our
Ball and any other media events. They always have their fingers on the pulse of social media and ensure
that our Charity remains in the forefront of the minds of both the public and celebrities. This celebrity
sponsorship encourages other people to attend our events and brings in much needed financial support.
Here I must thank our Founder Patron, Andrea McLean, for her continued backing for the Chariiy and for
choosing our Charity to receive her funds whenever she appears on any programme where she can raise
money for charity. Mick Rust maintains the difficult task of dealing with our finances. which is particularly
unenviable in the current financial market. Dee Carpenter has once again taken on the lask of dealing
wilh the endless booking and cancellation of events (without ever once losing us a depositl) along with
maintaining our website and ensuring that it is appealing, engaging and contains all the necessary legal
and charitable information and she copes. tirelessly, with much of the constant minutiae of arranging our
fundraising events. Hayley Roberts has been invaluable as our Compliance Officer ensuring that we meet
all the requirements of the Charities. Commission.
We are very grateful. as a military charity, to have the support of some wonderful Chelsea Pensioners as
Ambassadors of our Charity. We need to give special thanks to Chris O'connor for raising funds for us by
travelling in an old banger to and from Gibraltar in spite of his age and heallh worries. He is an inspiration
to us all. We also have to sadly announce the loss of another of our amazing Chelsea Pensioner
Ambassadors as we lost Rick Graham this year and he will be much missed by us all.

Back On Track
Chairman's Report (continued)
In spite of the fact that, once again, this year was marred by financial limilations we had some wonderful
financial support from Ambassadors like Chris O'connor and Patrons like Andrea McLean. We also need
to make special mention of Phoenix Fun Events who kindly chose our Charity to be one of the three
charilies that they supported this year and in November were kind enough to hand over a donation
¢heque to Dr Khan, in the amounl of £12,000 at an event attended by members of the Board of Trustees.
We were unable to hold our usual Kart Racing Day and we also made the disappoinling decision not to
hold a Carol Concert this year in spite of the pleasure we all took in it last year it is something that we
decided would need a little more honing before we could hold another one as the Board fell that having
two fundraisers, our Ball and a Carol Concert, within a couple of weeks of one another was both a little too
much work for those involved and more importantly. too much to expect our wonderful supporters to be
expected to attend so we decided that we would look to broaden our calendar and hope to find new
fundraising events for 2024 during the earlier part of the ye8r. The Board were delighted by the support
that we received from celebrities, Patrons, Ambassadors and beneficiaries for our Ball. It was a joyful
evening which enabled our beneficiaries to meet many of those who support them throughout the year
and helped lo ensure that our lovely Charity can continue to do what it does best and help those veterans
that need our assistance. We are so proud of our beneficiaries and all our veterans, and we are pleased
that we are able to help them in some small way.
Once again, I need to thank everyone who helps, In however modest a way, with the work that our Charlty
does for our beneficiaries. We are all so proud to be a small part of Ihis invaluable team and l am so
graleful for the effort and lime thal every member of the Board so kindly donates to ensure thal Back on
Track remains an importanl and unique chariiy dedicaled to helping our wonderful veterans.

cold-call members of the public. Other than sponsored events no fundraising aclivities are carried out on
the charity's behalf by extemal parties. B8ck On Track has not signed up to any volunlary fundraising
scheme or standards. however, as noted above all, of our fundraising activities are carried out to the
highest possible standards.
Public benellt
Working with injured servicemen and women. particularly in the field of skin injuries, Back On Track seeks
to offer psychological, physical and medical support to ex-members of the British forces. Such support
extends to both scar and aesthetic treatments following the care afforded by the NHS. The charity can
also help in other ways such as funding of equipmenl, facilities for hobbies, the provision of wheelchalrs
