OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Many of *h6 objectives Set in the lost annual report have been met..
slrenglhening the board's position by recruiting three new Iruslees with specific skill
mixes, e.g. morkeling, fundraising, chairmonship;
re-establishing the charity's presence and visibility within the hospital and increasing
fundroi5ing lor future projects by holding regular table events ond estoblishing a
Supermarkellslreet Fundraising Sub committee to prepare 0 2026 progromme ol
events,.
regular quarterly meetings have been eslabli5hed belween the charity's Treasurer ond
Choir and the hospital's Head ol Corporate Finance and their team. This has
reinforced the charity's lerms and conditions lor funding piojec15,' ie thol such funds
are invoiced by the tru51 promptly and within a year ol approval.. il after which time
the funding ha5 not been spentlinvoiced. the charity can exercise ils right to release
its obligalion lo funding the project. This action has successfully cleared the
longstanding invoice bocklog for funding and reduced Ihe delay in processing
commilled expendilure to approved projects..
negotiation5 with the hospital lo establish exclusive volunteer roles for the chority have
been completed successfully and a Friends volunleer now works in the staff shop. It is
hoped Ihol further volunleers will be engaged in Ellerbys, the slalflvisilor's cafeteria, in
Ihe near lulure. The reintroduction of the newspaper Iro116y services to wards has
willing volunteers., however. the programme has been held up due lo problems
obtaining a reliable newspaper supplier for Ihe service..
regular meetings with volunteers hove been focused on trialling Saturday evenls. It
wos felt Ihat Ihis might increase allendance and hopefully the first will take place in
September with the AGM,.
some 5ucce5s wilh student volunteer engagement has proved this objective to be
worth developing,. however, o plonned cooperalion with the volunleer hub needs to
be worked through to ensure thal their current slafl complement is not ovemhelmed
by applicants.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charity has worked much more colloborotively wilh its network of other slakeholder
contacts who make a similar contribulion lo patient experience and wellbeing. Exomples ol
this is the cooperation with York Hospital Radio,. exchanging opportunities to promote the
charily over their airways whilst supporting their fresh inilialives to meet the digital challenge5
of broadcasting to patients ond Ihe locol community. Also communicating with
neighbouring Friends charitie5, Shoring experiences and celebroling jointly funded projects
like the conlinuing, very successful 61h Form Medical Programme.
This has meant a growth in volunteer5 generally as people respond lo Ihe expanding need lor
recruits and return lo Ihe volunteer sector. In order to support the supervision ol volunteers..
the chority was able to slep in lo support the volunteer hub stall by funding a fixed term
contracl for the Volunteer Coordinotor for o further yeor.
Also, the charity recognised the need lo bolster slafl spirits al this unsellling time. Ils promotion
of Ihe Chair's Fund to stall was part ol this recognition. Little was known about the fund
amongst m051 staff and though ils offer of purchases up lo £IIX) is quite small, il is simple and
quick and the purchase of a new kellle or some new cool hooks for their belongings, went a
little way lo improving the 'day lo day, working experience for slafl and gave a general boost
lo stall morale.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results lor the year are shown on pages 8 10 15. The support costs (item 9 page 131 which
cover the doy-lo-doy expenses of the charily were £3,709. down on the previous year of
£4,878.
The investments (item IQ, page 131 did not perform a5 well Ihi5 yeor showing nel gains of only
£2,817 ogain51 the previous year's gain of £20.076. These figures include income and fund
growth.
Our net assets Ipage 151 show o reduction of £38.478.
Accumulated reserves are held lo fund future equipment purchases lo help achieve the
charity's objects. The level ol expenditure varies each year and funds are built up lo allow the
charity to purchose expensive items when Ihey are required.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As parl ol the Government's 10 year plan to improve public health ond reduce pressure on
the heallhcore 5yslem ond hospit015 in porticular,. il aims to shift the NHS towards a more
preventative approach,. moving from a reactive Irealmenl 5yslem lo one ol prooclive
prevenlalive care. The NHS embarking on this shill are lacing a tough challenge,. shifting
some ol the focus away from hospitals and more into empowering the community., diverting
emphasis from sickness to prevention. The charity wishes to continue providing the hospital
wilh p051tive ond effective support.. not simply funding bul olso educolion initialives in the
community.. patient experience and involvemenl.
Nevertheles5, this iniliative presents the chorily with some challenges ond o huge opportunity
to bioaden ifs network and its sphere of influence, ils visibility in Ihe community.. fundraising
and novel funding initiatives which will spring from thi5 new endeavour.
The charity needs lo reflect on how il can continue lo bolh support Ihe hospital, whilst
consolidating its own future security. By 5hifling Some of its own locus onto the new
challenges in the community il can explore new funding networks it has not encountered in
the post.
Once again. the NHS will lace massive change and will have to odopl to this radical, new
plan., $0, must the charity be prepored too. The outcome5 of which hopefully, will mean Ihat
more care will be provided c105er to potients, homes and pressure wi51 be eased al the
hospital's front door.
By promoling healthy lileslyles and empowering individuols to lake control ol their health, Ihe
new aims ol the NHS will influence our own aims and mission. i.e. lo serve patients by helping
to improve the health and wellbeing ol their communities and reduce the burden ol chronic
disease on hospitals.
The immediote initiatives and areas identified, to develop lor chariloble support ore Ihose
upon which the plon focu5e5'.

The hospital will conlinue to benefit from the charity's valuable support a5 il lulli115 115 aims to
provide the best care lor the very sick. However, time needs lo be given to considering the
chorily's core objective,. that ol preserving and prolecling the health ol lulure patients both
