## Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period: ## **1 January - 31 December 2022** ## **Charity name:** Hospital Radio Lynn **Charity registration number:** 1179523 ## Introduction Following on from the challenging restrictions of COVID-19 which severely limited the Charity’s ability to perform its main activities and carry out its usual fundraising activities. We continue to provide most of our output remotely with still no ability to visit patients in hospital. We also have a need to encourage more volunteers. The Trustees would like to thank all its volunteers and supporters for all they do to help the Charity provide a broadcasting service to the patients in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust (QEH) and the wider community of West Norfolk. ## Objectives and Activities The Charity’s purposes remain as set out in its governing document, the Constitution which are: 1. the relief of sickness, poor health and old age amongst people living in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk area by providing a local broadcasting service for hospitals, residential homes, and similar institutions, and for patients receiving community care; and 2. the advancement of health and prevention or relief of sickness for the public benefit through the promotion of the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, and the importance of maintaining good personal mental and physical health by (mainly, but not exclusively) the means of broadcasting health education messages to people living in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. The charity’s main actives undertaken for public benefit include: - We provide a hospital radio and ward visiting service which addresses the psychological and social needs of those who are ill and in hospital, residential homes and similar institutions, and patients receiving community care. The radio service offers a welcome distraction to its listeners through music, sports, comedy, news, current affairs, and other programming of interest. The ward visiting service provides an opportunity for chat and to take record requests which will be heard on the radio service, again diverting listeners’ attention from their worries - We broadcast features extolling the virtues of good mental and physical wellbeing and offering advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The service also broadcasts health and safety messages advising on ways for people to stay safe at home. The service will from time-to-time broadcast programmes featuring both professionals and non-professionals with knowledge and expertise of various health issues along with also publicising health advice & awareness meetings run by the hospital trust. The Trustees use health features and informational messages prepared for broadcast by national agencies and local health authorities. The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Trustees are grateful to all its volunteers who give their time freely to enable the charity to perform all its activities for public benefit especially patients at QEH. ## Summary of Main Achievements Although our volunteers are able to access the studios at QEH we continued to broadcast most of our content remotely. We have continued to expand our “as live” service to patients. We have continued to provide a platform for other organisations to broadcast to a wider audience in West Norfolk. This continues to include a regular gospel show, and Chaplaincy service by the team at QEH. The Charity has also improved its streaming service to be more robust as this will provide a resilient platform for further expansion. ## Financial Review The Charity’s finances continue to remain strong despite challenges in fundraising. . The Trustees continue to maintain a cautious approach to expenditure ensuring the charity keeps adequate reserves for critical equipment replacement. ## Structure, Governance and Management Hospital Radio Lynn is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its Constitution.
