Trustee Report

For the year ending 28 February 2022

The Foundation’s work over this period continued to be affected by the ongoing Covid 19 lockdown with plans for reviving on-site working and support to service users being implemented from June 2021.

Consequently, the Foundation continued to focus on providing support and activities remotely and a comprehensive programme was developed and delivered via that route.

There continued to be significant demand for services which were managed by the Hospital Liaison Officer whose role had re-focused due to the rules preventing hospital visiting.

Feasibility work was carried out during the year around two new projects to develop a digital support service to hospitals and to establish a charity shop in the local area. Considerable research and consultation was undertaken to ensure that any decisions were made following a robust and business-like process. Ultimately, the Board decided not to proceed with either venture.

The Board of Trustees met on 6 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 at Board meetings.
