Chair’s Opening Address and Welcome
Good afternoon to you all.
We the committee really appreciate the time and effort you have made to attend today.
It is a privilege for us to meet you all, to those who have supported the PSCF, not only as members in your establishments, but also as members in retirement.
2023 was a very good year in trying to help those in need with the cost-of-living crisis, and the personal stress that comes with it.
John our Secretary, will tell us of the two legacies that came as a complete surprise and as I informed the Governor’s at their Conference this year, the two gentlemen who left us these legacies, witnessed and knew of the work we do at the PSCF and chose us to help others in their time of need.
This is simply down to you all, showing care for others and applying to be members for further support from the Prison Service Charity Fund, your Charity.
I wish to thank the Committee for their hard work, in ensuring that all the appeals sent, are dealt in a fair and respectful manner in deciding what award is reached. There is a lot of time spent behind the smooth running of your Charity, contributing to the success of the PSCF as we see it today.
Thanks to you all for continuing to support the PSCF.
Ken Wingfield MBE Chair PSCF

Committee’s Report
Good afternoon one and all, welcome again to the Prison Service Charity Fund’s Annual General Meeting, reporting on the events of 2023.
We hope you find our AGM to be a relaxed, interesting and an informative one. As we progress through it, if you have any comments you wish to raise, please do interrupt us, as we always appreciate your constructive input.
Springbridge Riding School for the Disabled has been our venue now for a good many years, mainly because of it’s central location, not forgetting its wonderful setting, so we would like to thank our hosts, Linda, Jane, Dennis and Bob, for accommodating us again and making us most welcome.
We would also like to welcome our new attendees to our AGM. We hope you have an enjoyable day.
With the pandemic years thankfully behind us, we now come to reporting on 2023, our 34th year as a registered Charity and what a year it was, one where we passed several new milestones, which will become more apparent as we proceed through this report.
Turning first to January, as is normal for the early part of the year, your Committee received only 7 appeals, which were all dealt with in our normal manner. However, January turned out to be busy for other business matters.
We did receive invites to attend WellBeing Days at HMP Whatton and Lincoln, which our Chair attended both and had very productive days, although the staff at Lincoln were reluctant to join on the day !
Where possible, your Committee try to attend as many Well Being Day’s as possible, as we find they are a good way to raise our profile within an Establishment and sign new members up to the fund.
AGM, of which quite a few recipients are here today.
Also in January we received a second solicitors letter, this time informing us that the PSCF had been left 24k in another will, by someone not associated with the Prison Service, again this came as a complete surprise, but a very nice one !
February we received even less appeals, only 5, of which one was from Wormwood Scrubs. Some of our biggest Establishments are in the Capital, but we hear very little from them.
We did receive a very nice letter from the organisers of the “Race for Life”, informing us that our long standing member of the PSCF, was one of their top fund raisers and without embarrassing her too much, that is our very own Pat Ainsworth. Well done Pat !
John was invited to attend a WellBeing Day at Frankland Prison. As usual, being John’s old establishment, he was made to be very welcome and a good day was had by all.
March was a slightly better month for appeals, 9 in total but nothing out of the ordinary. Its this time of the year staff start to get their thinking caps on and decide what events they shall enter and eventually sharing their good news stories with the PSCF.
One such story came in from our long established, now retired Rep from Whatton, Jeff Purdy, who had a write-up in their newsletter which read…..
“Jeff celebrates 28 years of supporting prison fundraising activities. Jeffrey Purdy, our Facilities and Services Manager at HMP Whatton, has been a member
It was at the end of 2022, beginning of January 2023, that we received a solicitors letter informing us that an ex Chief Medical Officer had left 812k in his will, of which it was to be split three ways, the Dogs Trust, RNLI and the PSCF, all receiving 236k each.
To say we were amazed at such an amount, was an understatement and it got the Committee’s brains working overtime, as to what to do with it !
After much discussion, we agreed to further assist every Charity we gave an award to in 2022, to the sum of £2000 each and the majority of the awards were given out at our 2023

of the Prison Service Charity Fund (PSCF) for 28 years, personally raising approximately £100,000 for various charities such as the British Heart Foundation, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance and Prostate Cancer.
“He helps prison staff to organise their fundraising activities by liaising with the PSCF who provide funding for charitable events held within prisons. Using his Amey social impact day, Jeff recently attracted several new members into the PSCF and helped others to complete their grant application forms. Jeff’s volunteering activities have not only raised money for good causes, but also helped Amey to build a collaborative and trusting relationship with the client at his local prisons.”
In April there was another increase of appeals to 11. As we explained last year, due to the increase in Respite and Making Memories appeals, where we set certain limits and rules, this year is no exception, where your Committee have already seen an increase in them. There is no problem in receiving these appeals, but we would like to point out the paperwork that accompanies these appeals, must be signed and returned to the Secretary, as these are required by law, so we can explain to the Charities Commission why we are issuing a cheque to an individual and this also covers all parties from fraud. We raise this important point, because to date we have several where they have not been returned which causes a little embarrassment when our Secretary chases them up !
Whilst on this subject, we would also like to remind all recipients to acknowledge receipt of a cheque, by emailing the secretary@prisonservicecharityfund.co.uk . This information is on the accompanying letter, but every month there are still recipients not acknowledging and even worse, not banking the cheque !
May was a busier month with 17 appeals. A good indicator that the Spring and Summer periods are upon us.
John attended another WellBeing Day, this time at Low Newton prison. Plenty of forms handed out, but on this occasion, more agency workers signed up, rather than uniform staff. There was also one at Humber, but on this occasion it was too late to visit, however our two reps, Emma and Dave put on a stall and signed new members up to the fund and finally, Sara and Vicki attended Kirkham’s WellBeing Day, again plenty of interest but not many signing up. Thanks to you all.
We think this is a good time to raise some of the regular issues that we get asked. We never like saying no to any appeal, but we have to adhere to our Constitution and Criteria, so when we receive appeals for help financially with funeral costs, loans, general decorating, food and heating for homes, we have to decline them. However, we always refer them to the Charity for Civil Servants, or the POA Welfare Fund. These deal with more Social and
Domestic issues, whilst ours must all be medically related. In addition we did receive two more appeals which didn’t fit our criteria, they were the Karate Club and the Muslim Society. We have agreed that we can now assist with Food Banks, as a lot of these are associated with physical and Mental Health issues and this is our way of dealing with the ongoing crippling cost of living crisis.
This month we received an appeal from a North West establishment and when we asked the recipient to join the PSCF, it was a point blank no, as the member of staff had raised enough money for the charity and pointed out that no way will I be joining the PSCF, not even for £1 a month ! The appeal was rejected on the grounds that the Charity didn’t fit our criteria.
June was an exceptional month in the PSCF calendar and one we don’t think will be repeated for some time, if at all. First we received 28 appeals, from 16 locations, which has never been achieved before and in doing so we issued cheques to the value of nearly £22k, which is over double what we normally award and has never been done before.
Finally, having issued cheques for £218k, this being from one of the legacies we were given, we passed the £3 million barrier paid out in supporting staff and your Charities, an unbelievable achievement and one you should all be very proud of.
We have received in the region of 100 “Thank You’s” from the 109 Charities we supported from Mr Queens legacy and we have put these on show here today, for you to read at your leisure.
July was unusually quite with only 9 appeals. We did have an invite to Cookham Woods WellBeing Day, but it was only for two hours and while it was thoughtful of our Rep there to invite us, it was too long a journey to justify the expense it would cost to visit.
We had an enquiry from a member of staff at a privately run prison, Forest Bank, who wanted to join the PSCF. Our Secretary sent one of our packs, as she wanted to raise our profile there. Much to our disappointment, we have heard nothing since and she didn’t even join !
Over the years we have had quite a few enquiries from various private prisons, but whilst there is an initial interest, nothing comes of them, unlike our fairly new Rep at Channings Wood, where his positiveness in working closely with his Governor Huw Sullivan, in trying to arrange visits within the three prisons in the South West, Exeter, Dartmoor and Channings Wood and the PSCF. In the end it didn’t quite happen and the main reason was the cost. When considering these trips, we have to consider the costs, because it is not our personal money we are using, it’s yours, the members and we as your chosen Committee are and always will be conscious of how we utilise the finances of your fund, but we pay tribute and thanks to Tristan for trying.

Prison Service Charity Fund - Annual Report 2023
August was a better month for appeals with 13. One appeal to mention came from a Yorkshire prison, where the member of staff submitting the appeal informed us he was not a member and was not going to join. We would point out in cases like this and in the interest of paying members, we have a rule that we would support the appeal up to a value of £250. In this case £100 was awarded.
Occasionally we have emails from staff wanting to leave the PSCF and asking us to do it. Unfortunately we do not have the power to do this. It is the responsibility of the individual to get in touch with Shared Services and the same goes for members donating by Standing Order. You have to get in touch with your Bank or Building Society.
Throughout the year, your Committee receives invites to attend presentations at Charities we have supported, for example Derian House Children’s Hospice, Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Maggies, Ronald McDonald House, Loros Hospice and Sefton Community Pantry, to name a few. We are very grateful for these invites, which gives us a greater understanding to see how our funds are used.
Our thanks to our Durham rep for signing up eleven new members at their WellBeing Day. John our Secretary was invited but couldn’t attend.
September was a busy month with 22 appeals, awarding nearly £19k. It has been a busy year for invites to the popular WellBeing Days, with two more this month,
Holme House and Liverpool. Thanks to Phil and Emily for attending their old establishment, with several new members signed up. Our Secretary again was unable to attend Holme House, so thanks to our Rep there, who also signed some new members up to the fund.
Over the course of this report, we have mentioned WellBeing Days quite a lot, but we think they are an important event in raising the profile of your Charity, as well as many new members signed up in the process. Please keep the invites coming and if at all possible, we will attend.
Our Chair had a lengthy conversation with Robert Lovesey, from Serve and Protect Union, to inform us they were fund raising for five Charities, of which we were one and we had come forth and won £400. After checking it out and found out who they were, we accepted the donation with thanks and as normal in cases where we receive small donations in this way, we chose a Charity to further support and treat it like an appeal, so extra funds went to Sefton Community Pantry. Thank you.
In October we also received 22 appeals, awarding approximately £14k. Over the year we do receive some strange appeals and this month we received one from HMP Leyhill, titled “60 and Stupid”, where the staff at Leyhill decided it was a good idea, albeit crazy, to climb the three Welsh peaks (Snowdon, Cadar Idris and Pen-yFan), with a bike strapped on their backs and just for good measure cycle between the mountains (140 miles)

in 24 hours ! They achieved their goal with 10 minutes to spare! This may of been a mad idea, but there was an important goal in their minds and that was the Charity, Anthony Nolan Blood Cancer Charity. £935 raised and further supported by your Charity. Well done all !
Bearing in mind the two large legacies we received earlier in the year, your Committee decided to support seven chosen Charities by way of a special Christmas donation, again of £2k each. These were sent out this month well in time for the funds to be used at Christmas. With the cost of living crisis still with us, we chose Food Banks as a large part of the donation and we think this was a sensible way to distribute these extra funds. We hope you agree !
Also in October, three of your Committee (Ken, Sara and Vicki), were invited to the PGA conference. This is a great opportunity for staff to network with us, sign up a few Governors and we usually receive contacts to be possible new reps and for this, we must thank James Bryant for accommodating us again.
November was still fairly busy with 13 appeals, awarding nearly £13k. One such appeal was from a Yorkshire prison supporting a Hospice, but the funds were raised by a Trek abroad. We would like to point out that part of the funds raised go towards flights and accommodation and as such we have a maximum limit of £500, because as you will appreciate, we cannot allow your funds to be used to pay for non medical uses, we hope you agree !
We would like to give a big thank you to Helen at the Gatelodge, for all the help and guidance with all our jottings we submit each quarter. This is probably our biggest form of advertising, in raising our profile to thousands of staff throughout the Country.
December, our year draws to an end with a further 17 appeals and nearly £19k awarded. Two important events to note. Over several months your Treasurer Phil, has been working closely with a company called Fertile Frog, to give us a brand new Website and it went live in November. It is well worth a visit and is updated monthly with all your news stories and photos and you can now submit an appeal direct to our Secretary from it. Some of you have already used and viewed it and have given us some good feedback. We thank you for that and Phil for being the main go between in getting this up and running.
Another task finalised was the production of a revamped 2024 Calendar. Past years we just had landscape pictures for each month, but your Committee suggested it would be a good idea to use photos of Charities we have supported over the year and as a result we have received some very good comments liking it. Thank you again.

Photo shows the front cover of our calendar.
Our final WellBeing Day invite came in from HMP Humber, but again no one from the Committee could make it, but some freebies were sent and new members signed up. Thank you to Dave and Emma, the reps there.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Reps, for your continued support. We really do appreciate all the hard work you do on our behalf in continuing to raise our profile within your establishments.
Thanks also to Potts Print (UK) Ltd who produce this report free of charge.
After a couple of the most traumatic years, 2023 has been an exceptional year for the PSCF. One of continued progress in particular Social Media, whereby we are now spreading our wings on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, our new Website and a settled Committee controlling it all, albeit with this comes many scam issues, which our Secretary deals with in a totally professional manner.
As we approach 2024, our 35th year as a registered Charity, we would like to reassure you all here today that your fund continues to be in very safe hands. Thank you.

Prison Service Charity Fund - Annual Report 2023
A Day in the Life of Volunteering at Springbridge by Hilary Lazenbury
It’s 8am on a dark and cold mid November morning as I arrive at Springbridge Carriage Driving Centre in Leicestershire. I am greeted by a gentle whinny from Gollie, who is one of the 8 ponies at Springbridge. Linda, Dennis and Jane are already mucking out so I grab a brush, shovel and barrow and get stuck in to help. Later in the morning we will be running a session to take young people with disabilities out on the carriages, so there is work to be done.
It all started for me 3 years ago when a voice from over the fence in my garden asked “what are you doing on Wednesday? can you come and help with RDA?” That was Linda (she and Dennis are my neighbours) and that’s when my involvement as a volunteer began and I joined the extended family of Springbridge.
Mucking out done, the ponies need hay, feed and water, some of them banging at their stable doors to say “hurry up with my breakfast”. Most of the ponies are let out into the field for the day, cozy in their warm rugs, but 3 remain in as they will be used for today’s RDA session.
First work of the day completed and it’s time for a welcome cuppa and a chat about the day in the warm club room (built for RDA functions and opened by Princess Anne, who is President of RDA, in 2005). Client’s and carers start ringing to book their space on today’s session.
Back out into the cold, the 3 ponies need grooming. Bob arrives to help with the carriages and other volunteers start to arrive. The carriages which are specially adapted to hold wheelchairs, are wheeled out of the barn and the ponies are harnessed up. All 3 ponies have Long Service RDA Award brasses on their bridles.
Two or three sessions are run each week on a Wednesday and Thursday for client’s to book onto. Those that come have a variety of disabilities, some are ambulant, others in wheelchairs. Many have profound disabilities, some with very limited communication abilities but the pleasure they get from their weekly carriage driving trip is radiantly apparent by the smiles on their faces.
Safety is of paramount importance and all ponies, carriages and drivers have to be assessed by an RDA assessor before being able to take client’s out.
Wheelchairs are clamped to the carriages so they cannot move and lap belts worn. As well as the driver (who are all volunteers who have passed the carriage driving coach exam) another volunteer travels on the rear of each carriage for added safety.
It’s now 11am and time for the first trip out. We drive through the village of Willoughby Waterleys and return, a trip of about 30 minutes, a safety car following us. Whilst the drive is out the carers stay behind to chat and have coffee with those left at the yard, it gives them a brief reprieve and support from their caring duties.
After the second trip out has returned it’s time to take the harness off the ponies, put their rugs back on and give them some well-deserved hay. In the summer when they come back hot and sweaty they are treated to a refreshing shower.
10
RDA sessions are over for the day but work on the yard is still to be done. Harness to clean, beds to be laid down and water buckets filled ready for when the ponies in the field come in later in the day.
Springbridge is run by Linda, Dennis, Jane and Bob who have been friends for over 50 years. Looking after horses, ponies and the land is a 365 days a year job, regardless of the weather and the foursome have been doing this tirelessly for 30 years. They decided to start the RDA carriage driving when another Centre was closing down in 2003. They are the only centre in Leicestershire running carriage driving for the disabled. Springbridge receives no money from the RDA so is funded by donations and fundraising events, the main ones being the Fun Dog Show in the summer and the fantastic Santa Day before Christmas, both brilliantly attended.
Springbridge has a wide and vast extended family of supporters, many just dropping by for a chat and cuppa on a daily basis, which is reflective of the warm welcome always received when visiting and the welcoming ambiance of the yard with it’s colourful pots and hanging baskets throughout the year.
Being involved with life at Springbridge has truly enhanced my life as I know it has for many others.
Best wishes
Hilary (Volunteer)

Prison Service Charity Fund - Annual Report 2023
Treasurer’s Report
ACCOUNTS SUMMARY
This has been another busy year for the PSCF, from a Treasurers perspective the generous donation from our benefactor meant that there was a great deal to do, to get as much of that money out to as many good causes, as quickly as possible. I would like to say that it is a privilege to serve as the Treasurer.
Most people who received their cheques passed them over to the Charities in a timely manner, for which I am grateful. Some people did not, and seven cheques were not cashed meaning that £14,000 was not passed on to those good causes. These funds will be donated next year.
I would ask that when receiving a cheque that you forward the cheque straight away to your good cause and don’t wait until you arrange a presentation. This not only helps us as a PSCF in terms of knowing how much cash we have left to donate, but also it helps those good causes by making available the resources at the earliest possible time. Last year one cheque was given out at the AGM on the Saturday and cashed by the Tuesday, showing the genuine need for the money.
It’s a great opportunity for the charity to say thank you in person and speaking personally it is very satisfying when you visit the Charity to hear what a difference the money will make.
The highlights for 2023 are as follows:
-
Income from appeals and donations was down by £23k on the previous year to £117k.
-
However overall, income for 2023 was up by £214k due to the large donation made from Leo Queens estate.
-
Donations payable was also up by £225k.
-
Other costs have also increased.
-
Income from interest & investments also increased by £27k mainly due to the recent increase in interest rates.
-
There was an overall gain for the year of £73,023 although this includes a £44k increase in the value of investments which is a non-cash movement.
-
At the year end, the charity had unrestricted reserves of £1,139,863, this is up from £1,066,840 the previous year.
I don’t want to discourage members from visiting their charity and having a photograph taken with that charity.
CHARITY BANKERS
Since the establishment of the Charity, we have banked with HSBC, however, last year they started to bounce cheques randomly for no apparent reason. Despite our best endeavours, we were unable to prevent this from happening, which meant that we took the decision to open a new bank account in August 2022 with the Metro Bank in Liverpool.
John has now written to all those who donate via Standing Order, asking them to change the account into which they make their Charity Donation, to the Metro Bank, as we expect our HSBC account to be closed in April 2024. There has been a positive response, with some members even increasing the level of their donation.
12
INVESTMENTS
A number of our investments matured during the 2023 Financial Year and they have been re-invested as follows:
| Leek Building Society | £84,920.25 | 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond 4.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Skipton Building Society | £85,000 | 3 Year Fixed Rate Bond 4% |
| Saffron Building Society | £85,178.75 | 1 Year fixed Rate Bond 4.4% |
| Charity Bank | £85,000 | 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond 5.11% |
| Cambridge and Counties Bank £85,000 | 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond 5% | |
| Dudley Building Society | £85,000 | 1 Year Fixed rate Bond 4.3% |
When the PSCF became a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation), our investments were transferred from the names of Bob Howard, Cathy Smith, and Nevil Joseph to the PSCF. When I scrutinised the share certificates, I noticed that we were missing one certificate for Murray Income Trust. It seems that when the transfers took place, that one investment was missed out. Because all three trustees have now died, the shares form part of Nevil Joseph’s estate. We have corresponded with his daughter, who has notified us that his estate is currently in probate, and she has notified the solicitor handling the matter, so that the shares can be transferred to the PSCF when his estate has been settled.
SPECIAL DONATIONS
During 2022 the Charity made a number of special donations to good causes, that had been supported during the previous year by our members. At last year’s AGM we presented cheques to the value of £218,000 which is a record for our charity. We then made £14,000 in Special Donations at Christmas, £232,000 in total. These donations are not funded by our income from subscriptions by our members, rather they are funded from a combination of Interest/Dividends from our investments and in 2023 from a bequest from Leo Queen who bequeathed us £236,460. Our policy is to spend this money on the good causes brought to us by our members. Any monies left over will be used to fund next year’s special donations.
GIFT AID
John has now made an application to HMRC for three years gift aid in 2023. We await receipt of the funds which we expect to be in the region of three thousand pounds.

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
���������������������������������
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Update on our mascot Robbie Jones
When Robbie was 18 months old, he contracted Meningitis and had both legs and parts of his hands amputated.
Nana Sandra, Robbie and Grandpa John
In April 2023 Robbie had an interview and was successful on condition he got the GCSE results he needed and passes security clearance checks. Robbie left school in the June and attended his school prom with his school friends. He also got his provisional driving licence and a new mobility car. Robbie then began to learn to drive mostly with his dad and sometimes Granda before getting a driving instructor in September.
Robbie then got the GCSE he needed and on the 10th of October started working for Durham Constabulary. After a few weeks he was told he could work from home two days a week and attend work two days, he also goes to New College Durham one day a week, which he is thoroughly enjoying.
Robbie passed his driving theory test in December and after a few more lessons, put in for his driving test and on the 20th of February 2024 he passed first time.
Robbies next aim is to join a gym with some of his former school mates.
Lots of fund raising has been done over the years, mainly by Frankland staff and Robbie and his family have been part of the PSCF family ever since, culminating in becoming our mascot for many years now.
Fast forward to 2023……..
Robbie took interest in police work from an earlier age through watching documentaries with Granda John. As time went on he decided he wanted to work for the police in some form when he left school. Nana Sandra knew some retired police officers at the golf club where she works so she spoke to some of them to see if anything would be suitable for him. One of them arranged for him to have a guided tour of Durham police headquarters. Robbie was given some information about apprenticeships through New College Durham. He discussed this with his careers officer who helped him to apply for a customer service apprenticeship with Durham Constabulary.
Another day completed at HQ

The Jamie-Leigh Usher Foundation
Angela, Paul and Jamie-Leigh’s siblings, Issy and JohnPaul are grateful for the continued support of the PSCF.
Jamie-Leigh Usher was aged 15 when she sadly passed away in 2016. Jamie-Leigh had battled with cystic fibrosis since birth and she was also autistic.
After Jamie-Leigh’s death, her parents Angela and Paul decided to set up the foundation in memory of JamieLeigh. She loved caravan holidays so it was decided to raise funds to buy a caravan.
The Jamie-Leigh Usher foundation was set up and a caravan was purchased in North Wales in Jamie-Leigh’s memory. The purpose of the caravan is to send families with a terminally ill child/child with a life-long condition, or bereaved families on a respite break free of charge. The Jamie-Leigh Usher foundation has supported over 40 families with a respite break at the caravan.
Since the foundation was set up they have raised over £80,000.00. The Jamie-Leigh Usher foundation has a number of annual fundraising events including fundays, charity nights and the local schools hold ‘Wear green for Jamie-Leigh’ days in honour of Jamie-Leigh’s birthday.
