Cornwall Diabetes education centre trust annual report for 2022
Last board meeting of trustees was held on Thursday 17 November 2022, this was the first face to face board meeting have been possible due to COVID restrictions. However trustees have been in contact by email and telephone, to conduct the charity‘s business which is summarised below. This has been another quiet year for the charity as the health service regains it’s feet after Covid, there is still a great deal of remote working, and keeping in touch with colleagues and patients remains difficult. Since the death of Dr Robbie Bhonsle in 2021 ( last founding trustee) we were very pleased to welcome Mrs Amanda Veall as a new trustee to the board, and we look forward to her input over the coming years.
There has been no other change to the Trustees who remain the same as reported on the charity commission website.
The charity’s purpose remains unchanged, and we seek to support principally the educational needs of patients, carers and health care professionals. We also support physical the purchase of equipment and assets for the diabetes centre, that are not able to be funded through the NHS. Most board meetings are centred around ways we can achieve the above purposes. And we are due to meet with an advocate for teenage patients at board meeting in March 2023 This financial year we have approved grants to purchase the following items 2 x portable Hba1c analysers and software to be used in the childrens diabetes service, that supports one stop clinics Cost £4000 Purchase of carbs and counting books for the youngest patients Cost £400.
Financial
The charity retains a healthy cash balance across two banks NatWest and CAF at £135000
Outgoings this year are minimal ( no activity) and we are expecting to pay the above grants in the next few months.
Income from donations was £415.
Trustees also sort to invest some of the cash balance in an interest paying bond, but that has proved difficult so far, but we are resolved to find a suitable safe haven for up to £55,000. No large funding requests are anticipated in 2023
