## **Report and thoughts from the Chair** 


As Chair of BHSEA, I am pleased to introduce this Annual Report and reflect on a year of consolidation, strong delivery and— crucially—sound stewardship. BHSEA exists to promote and enhance health, safety, welfare and environmental good practice, and to provide a trusted forum for learning, collaboration and professional development. This year we have continued to strengthen our governance, enhance member value and broaden our reach, while remaining true to our charitable purposes. 

I started my role as Chair in November of 2025, succeeding Wayne Bishop, who stepped down at this year’s AGM after two years in the role.  With over 16 years’ experience as a health and safety professional, it was an honour to be appointed Chair of BHSEA, the first woman Chair of BHSEA in its history and I very much look forward to working with members to strengthen our community, share knowledge, and support the next generation of safety professionals. 

Throughout 2025 we continued to strengthen member value by delivering 10 successful monthly events, with the September Event, an all-day conference addressing health and safety back to basics, with Keynote Speaker Jason Ankers. In June we welcomed another Health and Safety Hero, Tim Marsh, to headline our WWT Construction Event on Behavioral Safety, attended by over 70 Members and guests. 

The Training sub-committee launched the Mentor/Mentee Scheme and continued its efforts to attract Student Members at the start of their health and safety career, as well as running four free training sessions. These efforts were recognised when BHSEA was invited to attend the prestigious 2025 SGUK Awards where the Committee was awarded a Gold Excellence Award for all it’s efforts. 

A central theme in this year’s report is BHSEA’s financial resilience. We hold significant reserves and a strong investment base. This has been achieved through disciplined financial management over a long period, careful oversight by Trustees, and ongoing engagement with professional investment advisers. Our reserves help us remain stable and independent and enable strategic planning rather than short-term decision-making.

## **Report and thoughts from the Chair** 


Importantly, we have aligned our approach explicitly with Charity Commission guidance on reserves (CC19) and with good practice expectations in charity reporting. Under this approach, Trustees do not treat ‘reserves’ as simply the year-end bank balance or total unrestricted funds. Instead, we focus on the element of unrestricted funds that is genuinely ‘free’ and available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes 

However, good governance also demands we avoid holding excessive reserves without a clear rationale. Reserves are not an end in themselves: they are a means to deliver impact, maintain resilience and seize opportunities in the interests of beneficiaries and stakeholders. Trustees therefore review reserves actively, ensuring the level held is justified, transparent and linked to BHSEA’s strategic plan. 

## **How we plan to use our reserves** 

Over the coming period, Trustees intend to deploy reserves in a controlled, purposeful way—consistent with our reserves policy and our duty to manage resources responsibly. We will do this through clear planning, agreed budgets and documented approvals. Our priorities include: 

## **1. Maintaining and enhancing our programme of events and learning** 

We will continue to fund high-quality monthly meetings and specialist events that provide accessible learning and networking. Where appropriate, reserves will be used to underwrite venue commitments, speaker costs and delivery expenses, protecting continuity of provision and maintaining value for members. 

## **2. Investing in free and subsidised training and professional development** 

Building on the success of our training offer, we will use reserves to sustain and expand free or subsidised learning opportunities that support competence, confidence and progression in the profession—particularly for early-career practitioners. 

## **3. Strengthening member benefits and engagement** 

We will invest in initiatives that improve the ‘member experience’, including development of our mentoring and support schemes, continued enhancement of our digital presence and resources, and targeted communications that widen reach and encourage participation. 



4 




## **Report and thoughts from the Chair** 

## **4. Funding strategic capability and governance improvements** 

Reserves will support projects that strengthen BHSEA’s operational capability and governance infrastructure, including appropriate systems and processes that improve efficiency, support compliance and increase transparency. We will also ensure our investment approach remains subject to regular review and appropriate professional advice. 

## **5. Supporting charitable impact in the wider community** 

BHSEA’s charitable purpose extends beyond member services. We will explore opportunities to use reserves to support outreach, collaboration and initiatives that advance health, safety and environmental standards across the West Midlands and beyond, ensuring any new activity is carefully governed, aligned to purpose and evaluated for impact. 

## **6. Membership Growth** 

We will continue to expand our marketing activity to grow membership numbers inline with our strategic objectives and charitable purpose. 

## **Oversight and transparency** 

In line with Charity Commission expectations, Trustees will keep our reserves policy under regular review. We will report transparently on the level of reserves held, the rationale for that level, and our progress in deploying funds in support of charitable objectives. This includes ongoing consideration of risk, commitments, and the balance between resilience and impact. 

None of this would be possible without the commitment of our Trustees, Management Team, sub-committees, volunteers, speakers and members. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed time, expertise and energy to BHSEA this year, with a special thanks to Wayne Bishop, the outgoing Chair for his two-year tenure. With strong foundations, a clear reserves policy and a shared commitment to our charitable mission, BHSEA is well placed to continue delivering meaningful value and positive impact. 

I look forward to the year ahead and to seeing our resources—financial and human—used wisely to strengthen our community, raise standards and support those working to protect people at work.

## **Association Objective** 

To promote the health, safety, welfare and wellbeing of working people and the organisations they work for by facilitating networking, sharing, learning, the adoption of good practice and continuous improvement. 

This extends to an organisation's physical assets, the environment, and the community which it serves or in which it operates with a focus on Birmingham and surrounding areas. 

**‘Welfare’** means facilities and provisions that are necessary for the comfort, convenience and wellbeing of working people such as washing, toilet, rest and changing facilities and somewhere clean to eat and drink during breaks. **‘Wellbeing’** means a good or satisfactory condition of existence or state characterised by health, happiness and prosperity determined primarily by work and which can be influenced by workplace interventions.

## **Summary of activities and achievements** 


Varied programme of ten monthly events all of which were in-person, one of which was also combined with our annual conference, and one WWT/SHAD on the topic of Behavioural Safety and Cultural Change.  We also ran four Free Training Courses. Coaching and Mentoring, COSHH, Risk Assessment Part 2 and Mental Health and Well-being Workshop. 


Continued invitation to BHSEA events to all groups affiliated to Safety Groups UK. 


Attendance at events is back to pre-covid levels. 


Successful well attended Construction ‘Working Well Together’ (WWT) events held in June at the new venue at Walsall FC, the Locker Room. 



Continued strong support from Members at WWT events, including, Equans, Canal and River Trust Significant contribution from Council and other members to ‘Members Corner’ slots. 


Successful increase of Membership Fees since pre-Covid times. 


New Support of Marketing Communications Company Zen to increase Social media presence. 


Continued sound finances with investment income remaining stable despite lowering the yield target to 3%. The surplus income has increased, mainly because of a bigger gain on investments, sitting alongside £64,389 of market value uplift which together make up the £76,196 total gain on investments this year. 

_**Only achieved by the continuing voluntary effort by Trustees, Management and Council with support from others including Secretary Sarah Kenny.**_
