THE DON CENTENARY TRUST

CHAIRMAN’S OSCR REPORT MAY 2026

Aims [objects] of our constitution

• The collection of funds (donations, fundraising and all lawful means) to support the provision of healthcare support within the town bounds of Brechin and adjoining parishes, as determined by the Trustees of the organisation at the Annual General Meeting (hereinafter referred to as the ‘AGM’)

• The provision of healthcare equipment and services within the town boundaries of Brechin and adjoining parishes as deemed appropriate and authorised by simple majority voting of the Trustees at the AGM. Where votes of Trustees are tied, the Chairman will have a casting vote.

In the last twelve months, the Trustees have remained committed to strengthen our links and awareness of the community we support. As it has been a challenge to ensure we have a quorum for our meetings, at the AGM in September 2024 we changed the constitution to make a quorum five trustees, which includes three office bearers.

However, we need to ensure we get a consistent level of attendance to maintain our efforts to support our work.

We have a duty to continue the commitment of the Don Trust to the community of Brechin and the surrounding parishes. James Don had a vision for health care in Brechin contributed to the funds needed to build and set up Brechin Infirmary. His commitment was recognised by the local community who matched his funding through public subscription. We are constantly reminded of the challenges faced by the NHS locally and nationally about funding and where it comes from. We and politicians could learn from the approach and commitment of James Don.

His legacy lives on and we as Trustees can continue to support the health and wellbeing of local people in a modest but focused way. As a group we can continue to work together with other partners to further the aims of the Don Trust. As trustees, we are busy with our lives, work and family commitments. However, we need to find the time

to carry on this important work. James Don and our predecessors would expect nothing less from us and. The contribution of the trustees has been essential, and we need to continue to have the desire to be creative and engage with those in our community who need support and will benefit from it for years to come.

Develop partnership working

Since February 2025 we have discussed and agreed a different approach to how we engage considered proposals with local community groups in the future. To support this, trustees have been linked to different groups. The purpose of this changed approach is to foster positive relationships and seek ways to ensure our resources are allocated to meet the needs of the local community. With regular changes to the trustee group, we are having to respond to ensure continuity and progression.

We discussed ways to evaluate applications for funding support and to ensure the process was manageable, we focused on two aspects:

• The application itself and the impact of the project on users

• How it matches up with the aims of the Don Trust

Thanks are due to Melanie for her work on developing the funding application form.

In the coming we need to recruit trustees who represent our community groups to ensure we are listening to and responding to local people.

I would like to acknowledge my sincere thanks and appreciation to Caroline as minutes Secretary and Gordon as our Treasurer and all the Trustees for their commitment and enthusiasm to supporting local people.
