## Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period: **1 January - 31 December 2025** ## **Charity name:** Hospital Radio Lynn **Charity registration number:** 1179523 ## Introduction There has been some improvement in fund raising mainly due the efforts of some dedicated volunteers. We have continued to expanded our broadcasting from our studio and have resumed ward visiting. We have increased our live output from the studio and continue to provide remotely content. We continue to recruit volunteers which is still a priority. New volunteers will be deployed throughout the week. 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. ## Summary of Main Achievements We have increased our ward based activity. Our volunteers are able to access the studios at QEH we have also increase our “as live” daytime content, mainly remotely. We have continued to provide a regular Sunday service provided by the Chaplaincy team at QEH. The Charity has continued to improve its broadcast equipment which has impacted on funds. ## Financial Review The Charity’s finances continues to be under pressure. With increases in software licences, streaming and broadcast licences. The Trustees are still concerned that our income is not covering fixed expenditure. They will continue to look for new forms of funding and have reduced some fixed costs. During the upcoming year we will increase our fundraising activities both in the hospital and in the local area. ## Structure, Governance and Management Hospital Radio Lynn is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its Constitution.
