APPENDIX 1

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period Chalmers Hospital.

It has been a very good year for The Friends. The three year plan continues. The Visitors Room was completed and is an oasis of calm in the ward. A place where relatives can relax and enjoy a chat, a hot drink, refresh or watch TV. More importantly it is a private space where the medical staff ’ can have discussions with relatives. It is a much used asset. The Courtyard, thanks to the work of In Bloom and the Hossack Funds, is now a place where patients, visitors and staff can sit and relax, weather permitting. The room bound patients have benefitted and delighted in the view of the colourful floral displays in the planters. A patient shower chair has been well used as it allows less mobile patients to have a shower. Smaller pieces of equipment have been requested and delivered to other departments in the hospital. At Christmas each inpatient received a present and the Christmas lights were improved.

Public Access Defibrillators. All PADS and batteries have been kept in date and all units are fully functional. Usage rate continues as typical. Another Guardian for a PAD Close to one of ours was found to have entered the wrong defibrillator serial number causing an issue with the national database during a 999 call response, but this was resolved so it could not happen again; fortunately this incident did not cause any patient impact. The planned defibrillator for the Banff Police was provided and has proven to be ane of the most used defibrillators in town. We have continued to assist Whitehills, Alvah, Forglen and some others in our area with their PADS,

Community First Responders.

We were active throughout the reporting period and continued to operate three sets of kit with many expiring items being replaced. We did lose two CFRs during the year due to illness and relocation but also recruited two. Our training was mostly carried out by one of our members, an Ambulance Service Technician. An adjacent group also joins us on these enhanced training nights.

We attended several community events during the summer, offering CPR training and general information. We were donated a gazebo which has helped us appear even more professional. New uniforms embroidered with our updated logo were procured.

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves The Charity was fortunate to receive a significant unrestricted testamentary legacy of £250,000 some years ago, which has enabled it to offer financial support to the hospital, in keeping with its charitable purposes and objectives. In these circumstances, the trustees consider that a planned deficit is to be regarded as a satisfactory financial outcome. We were able to achieve the planned programme of support for the year. This resulted in a deficit of £9,329 for the year. : As of 31% December 2025, the balance on the Chalmers Hospital Funds was £64,630 and the balance on the BMCC Project Funds was £5,422. Accordingly, the trustees are confident that the financial position of the Charity and its Reserve Policy are satisfactory, fit for purpose and support ongoing planned activities.
