Trustee Report

For the year ending 28 February 2021

The Amputation Foundation has continued moving steadily forward over the period with a wide variety of services being offered to amputees inline with the charitable purposes.

The Board of Trustees met on 8 occasions throughout the year. All meetings have agendas agreed in advance and minutes are taken including clear recording of decisions made. All the meetings took place via Zoom due to the restrictions around the Covid19 pandemic.

A financial update is presented at every meeting and Trustees are provided with full access to the details of all transactions if required. A key driver for the Board has been to make sure that the funds available to deliver services to amputees are committed and utilised effectively and economically.

The relationship with the panel of solicitors who support the organisation financially is reviewed regularly.

The organisation employs one full-time Hospital Liaison Officer (HLO). The HLO receives day-to-day management supervision and support from a member of the Board.

This year the Amputation Foundation focused on providing support and activities remotely and a comprehensive programme was developed and delivered via that route.

To promote the charity over 200 posters describing the services available were sent NHS and other prosthetic centres.

To manage the large volume of contacts being received the Board invested in a new digital Customer Relationship Management platform.
