Wessex Medical TTUSt Annual Report and Accounts 2025 Chainman's Statement ..2025 has been a challenging year with some changes. However, despite these, we have continued to support two groups of exceptional research proj8Cts...... It has been a busy year for the charity due to the seiies of changes and challenges described below. Despite these and a reduced income, the legacies received in previous years allowed us to continue the level of grants awarded in 2025. We supported 4 PhD studentships and 5 Innovati( grants. These awards totslling almost £400,000 will support a diverse rang8 of medical research over Ihe next Iwo to four years. In addition. for the first time. we made two grants lo medical sdentS who wished to pursue an extra 'intercalated" year of study. This has been a route followed by students who aspire to be medical researchers- myself induded. However. there has been a major reduction in the number of applicants in recent years due mainly to the costs added to thelr sludent loans. Each student recelved a grant of £14,250 from us. In May we submitted a detailed response to the Association of Medic81 Research Charities lo meet their continued membership r8quirernents. The then-Director Peter Dawes and l are grateful lo trustees and members of the Faculty of Medicine for the help we received in the prepardts'on of (r response. Professor Max Crispin completed his second three-year te of office as the Univ8rsty of Southampton's nominated trustee and retired at the end of the April meeting of trustees. Max gave generously of his time and kept us infomed of the demands placed on PrinpaI Investigators as well as making helpful suggestions about invofving young academics in our work. Max has been succeeded by Professor Lirwty Holden-Dye who is Professor of Neuroscience in the School of Biologi(al Sciences. She joined Southampton as a postgraduate student. gaining an Msc and PhD before becoming a lecturer. She received her first research grant from this charity and Ihereafter Lindy anded the academic ladder and served as Head of the School of Biobgical Sciences from 2018- 2023. She has supervised 35 PhD students to completr)n. Page 4of 21
Wessex Medical Tntst Annual Report and Accounts 2025 The charity has been an unincorporated trust since inceplion arxl. mindful of more recent developments in taw and practice we have, under the leadership of trustee Nick Page. begun the prOsS of converting to a Charitable IncortK)rated Organisation. I hope that change will be completed in the first hair of 2026. From my perspective. the biggest change in 2025 was the conduston of Peter Dawes. 20 years as Director. Throughout that time. he was responsible for administering Ihe charity. the awarding processes and finan. By the year end he had overseen the award of grdnts totalling nearly £5.7 million to early career researchers. Specifically, there were 114 Innovation Grants made and 36 PhD studentships of which 28 were joint-funded. Since 2015 Peter has also organised the annual presence of the TNst at the New Forest Show (apart from a two-year break during the Covid-19 crisis). This year we shared an excellent pitch wilh the Universty of Southampton and the teams educated and fascinated over 500 people on each of the three days. The result was the award of the prize for Best Trade Stsnd forthe second time. Congratulations Peterl We wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement. Our search for a successor began in April. Wlth help Joanne Donahoe Executive Director, Development & Alumni Relations, we advertised through the University and after due diligence appointed Jo Trueman. Jo had worked in The Faculty of Medicine from 2013 and had been Operations Manager for nine years. Jo brings a wealth of experience of academic life induding financial mark3gement. strategic operations. grant funding and administrats'on. Her induction programme began in earfy September and her appointment was confirmed at the year end. I want to pay tribute to and thank all of our donors, fundraisers partners and volunteers who continue to support the Trust. Their contrlbutlons are greatty appreciated by us In closing. l am delighted to cx>ngr8tulate Trustee Luke IAarth on being awarded an OBE in the King's Birthday Honours for"PJer¥ices to healih(xr8 and Ltharitable causes..
