Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Bodmin Hospital has been the subject of a PFI arrangement over
several years and was only handed back to the NHS on the 1st
September 2025.
The work on site to bring buildings up to modern fire protection
standards with the resultant changes to ward locations has limited
funding requests. This will change now that the hospital is fully
back under the NHS.
£20,160 in funding requests for equipment across 5 wards were
approved in the year plus £1,650 spent on Christmas presents for
inpatients..
At the year end only £7,682 of invoices from the CPT had been
received for the above approved expenditure.

Section E Financial review Brief statement of the We adopt a low risk policy on fund management.

Its asset value is accessed annually as part of a review of reserve funds and assets as part of a low risk investment strategy.
