Statutory Declaration on Public Benefit
The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
Executive Summary
The charity has been proactive in meeting its charitable objects, in ensuring broadcasting to the Frimley Health Foundation Trust’s three hospitals, and its patients throughout the year, and developing programming primarily aimed at local care homes, an ongoing venture which has proved very successful.
This has been supported by broadcasting public service announcements, medical-specific features, as well as health and wellbeing-based announcements.
Activities, Achievements & Performance
To achieve the charity’s objectives and to meet the charity’s vision “Serving Frimley Health, improving wellbeing through entertainment”, there has been continued broadcasting to the patients at, and visitors to, the Hospitals throughout the year. But only via the internet and certain public areas.
The outside events calendar fulfilled many bookings throughout the year under review but, as so often, staffed in the main by the usual core group of members, despite numerous attempts and pleas for others to get involved.
Thanks to Mike Grubb our recruitment over the last twelve months has been phenomenal and once more requests from ward visiting and at last the Thursday quiz have been restored.
RFP Trustee statement for 2025 AGM
Myriad six is on the horizon but the build of a new hospital and our possible relocation could prove to be an expensive outlay that we need to be prepared for.
