**Leadership & Partnership Working:** The Trust continues to demonstrate success in understanding that it isn’t just about _providing_ healthcare, it’s about making sure that the systems and processes to access that care are built around the needs of the people it serves, for example, offering dropin clinics rather than appointments. **HealthBus Hub CIC:** The Trust maintains to work closely with the HealthBus Hub CIC to enable clinical delivery, governance and oversight. **BCP Homeless Partnership:** The Trust continues to be a vital member of Homelessness Partnership BCP, a local partnership in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to help prevent people from losing their homes, and escape homelessness in all its forms. The Partnership has a Homelessness Reduction Board (HRB) that brings leaders together from the Council, NHS, Police, Probation, social housing, voluntary and faith groups to ensure activity is joined up and making a real difference. **MDT:** The Trust is a vital member of the local Homelessness MDT (MultiDisciplinary Team). The Homelessness MDT works to provide rough sleepers a person-centred and wrap-around support in consideration of their mental health needs, and physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. **PatientSource:** Through its partnership with PatientSource, the Trust has implemented a pioneering cloud-based patient record system that has been instrumental in enhancing the organisation’s compliance and operational efficiency. **Improving Digital Protocols.** The Trust recently partnered with SPC IT, a trusted, award-winning provider of professional IT support and technology services. This collaboration has enhanced the charity’s capabilities and streamlined operations, enabling it to better fulfil its mission. **Education Engagement:** The team have delivered a series of talks to schools, colleges and university students, churches, and local businesses.

**Healthbus Trust** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Volunteers** 

Our volunteers provide support to the healthcare workers, for example as drivers and security. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The Healthbus Trust delivers specialist healthcare to homeless individuals in Bournemouth and nearby areas through a mobile specialist service, collaborating with local agencies, the local authority and third-sector providers.  As an award winning charity, we address health inequalities by reaching those unable to access mainstream healthcare due to significant barriers. 

From April 2024 to March 2025, the HealthBus Trust facilitated 2,552 clinical interventions across 3-4 operational days weekly, catering to 407 patients with complex health needs. 

The team visited patients at designated temporary accommodations and those on the streets through homeless outreach. 

This work has been funded by community fundraising and 22 grant-giving organisations that contributed to restricted and unrestricted funding.  Grants were given by: 

_AFC Cherries Community Fund, The Incorporated Bournemouth Free Church Council, The 4814 Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, The 29th May 1961 Charity, Screwfix Foundation, Community Wellbeing and Mental Health Fund (Small), Better Community Business Network, James Tutor Foundation, Roger Raymond Charitable Trust, Dorset Community Foundation, BCP Food and Energy Support Fund, Sir Halley Stewart Trust, The John Horseman Trust, Alice Ellen Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation, Communities Against Cancer 2024-25, D'Oyly Carte, Charitable Trust, Wessex Water Community Fund 2024, The Arnold Clark Community Fund, BCP Food and Energy Support Fund Oct 2024, Sheerling Charitable Trust._ 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Engagement with local businesses and schools deepened, fostering mutual support and awareness with successful fundraising campaigns 

The Trust's fundraising plan complements the Trust's strategic plan and outlines the prioritised goals and activities, accesses the investment, measures impact and identifies multichannel fundraising approaches to maximise the charity's resources which has been evident in its achievements in 2024-25. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Income received in the previous year was accounted for at that time, but the related expenditure occurred in this financial year, resulting in the reported deficit.  This can occur when there is a timing difference between when income is received and when the related expenditure takes place, crossing into a new financial year. 

The dearth of statutory funding and the ongoing lack of capacity within statutory health services have significantly altered the health sector landscape.  This has required us to adopt more flexible, adaptive and innovative approaches to both service delivery and income generation in order to meet rising and increasingly complex needs. 

We remain confident in our financial oversight and continue to prioritise good governance, transparency and the safeguarding of both restricted and unrestricted resources. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Reserves are held to ensure the uninterrupted service provided to patients and the ongoing work of the charity. 

The reserves are calculated as three months running costs, which include salary, PAYE, pensions and GP/nurse sub-contractor costs.

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
