Trustee report 2023/24

The Trustees are also the committee of the charity and are elected each year at the AGM. The Trustees have the responsibility to run the charity in a right and proper manner and to see that we follow the Charity Commission rules. As part of our constitutional duties, we need you to consider the audited accounts presented by the committee and with the recommendation that they are accepted.

You can do this and make any other comments you want us to note on the response form attached.

The committee needs to be careful with CamTAD’s finances, but we will invest in what is needed to move CamTAD to a better position to do our work.

Our aim is to increase, this year, the number of members to give us a better income stream. To do this we need to offer help and advice tailored to the needs of our members. We have the Hearing Hub, where we can demonstrate assistive equipment that work with hearing aids to make life better. For example: equipment that plugs into the back of your TV’s and transmit the sound directly to your hearing aids, you can hear it but no one else can. A common complaint of friends and relatives of people with hearing loss is that the TV is too loud, now it needn’t be.

Wireless doorbells are another example where you can carry the sounder around with you, so you don’t miss the parcel delivery or friends calling to see you. They will even work in the garden should you be out there. We try to keep the equipment up to date and valid, we can demonstrate how it works but we don’t sell.

We can and are happy to point you in the right direction of places to buy after you have tried them out.

The grant from the Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board continues but for various reasons we have not been able to get out as much as we need to. Can you help with any future events that this funding was granted for?

We have trialed setting up a contact/information point in Allestree library for a couple of hours and we helped a few people to understand what they need to do. As it worked, we now want to set up a contact point in all of our city libraries. This would be once or twice a year in your local library, can you help? Also if you know of any events that happen in your community where our presence would get to a large number of people please let us know, as the best way to get the message out is via community events. We need volunteers to help ‘spread’ the word. We have given talks about CamTAD to health workers who come across hearing loss patients, so they know what they need. We have talked about hearing loss and its link to dementia to various groups. Did you know that

untreated hearing loss can be linked to a more rapid deterioration in dementia symptoms? We have given a talk to a local WI group as well. We have power point presentations that can be used at these events so if anyone would like a volunteer to do some of these please let us know. If we have enough volunteers, then you will only need to do one or two events a year. We have also gone into care homes to train their staff/raise awareness but would like to do more. We would also like to attend local GP surgeries when they have information events.

Continued………….

…………Continued

Just to remind you we have identified three groups of people whom we can help.

Our new website is working well (with a few tweaks along the way). Our address is www. camtad.org.uk .

Chris Bampton (and Sue Bampton) developed this for us and Chris is standing as a trustee in this election and would be a valuable Trustee to have on board. We are looking to developing our website to allow appointments and payments to be made. We are also in the process of updating our main membership/database and this will take some time to do but will eventually work with and include all our other bits of information that we need all in one place. I’m afraid these things take time.

‘The Hearing Hub’ has been extensively used over the last year. Would any of you be interested in helping us demonstrating the equipment we

have? We also still have a few ex-demonstration items available for sale so if there is anything that you or someone you know are thinking of trying/buying please get in touch to see what we have. I.e. telephones, TV listeners etc. (All at reduced prices)!

Kiya left us for pastures new in March and Jane and John (mainly Jane) carried out the office work whilst we looked for a new office administrator.

We are pleased to say that we appointed Marisa Brough to this post and she is helping us move the charity forwards. Tuesdays & Thursdays is when she is usually in, but this subject to change. I hope that all of you will get to meet her sometime soon.

Lastly, we know from our contacts with people that what we do at CamTAD is very much appreciated and really does help people. We want to continue doing this and we will continue to do this with your help and support. We also know that CamTAD Hearing Support is making a big difference to hearing loss people in Derby and Derbyshire but with your help there is still a lot more we can do.
